“Smallville” meets “Cloverfeild”

Just finished watching this week’s episode of “Smallville” which is a blatant sweeps stunt that tries to mimic the feel of “Cloverfeild.” Of course instead of a building-sized-monster tearing up NYC its of Doomsday tearing apart Chloe’s wedding. The editing and camera angles were just as annoying as they were in “Cloverfeild,” so at least in that regard the producers succeeded.
As to the episode itself, it was flat out frustrating. First of all… I honestly don’t get why Chloe’s wedding would be in the Kent barn. That’s just weird. Second, the whole mind-wipe from a week before is very present. In fact it was so aggravating that I had to force myself to not fast forward through the episode.
On the plus side… at least it’s possible for viewers to follow the plot, unlike “Heroes” which stopped making sense a long time ago.
