[*ai*]

PANDORA

BACK TO THE FUTURE — Tess (Cassidy Freeman) kidnaps Lois (Erica Durance) to find out where Lois went after she disappeared for weeks. Lois' memory of the future depicts a Metropolis under Zod's (Callum Blue) rule and Clark (Tom Welling) powerless under the red sun, while Chloe (Allison Mack) forms a resistance group with Oliver (Justin Hartley). After learning of these future events, Clark makes an important decision about Zod.

Morgan Beggs directed the episode written by Drew Landis & Julia Swift.

Heh. Yeah, about that. When they showed them tumbling into the bed, I was cheering them on!....and then we got flashes. I...I wanted to see the hand clench in real time...*sigh* Oh, well.

At least we got the hand-holding in the elevator. Awww!

[*ai*]

that lack of cloisex really put a damper on things for me..

i need to watch it again and again and again just to know if i like it THAT much or not..

[*Avalee*]

i looooved the holding hands in the elevator, such a small gesture but it meant so much

i missed the beginning so i'll have to watch tomorrow but flashes of cloisex is better than nothing! i mean, there wouldn't even be cloisex if not for these flashes so i love it!

This episode was phenomenal, Well I gotta say the first half of season 9 has been outstanding. I'm really impressed by how this series has evolved into an awesome Superman tv series .

I can't wait for the second half (JSA BABY JSA !!!) if it's as good as the first half this well be the first time in the series history that it's had a prefect season .

Mixed thoughts, I loved it but the cloisex scene was too short and spatty for me, I would have liked it longer.
But I just loved the kiss when Clark was stabbed and the hand holding at the end. Nice to see that Clark initiated the couple convo but Lois initiated the hand holding.

[*ai*]

the smallville fan in me is saying this episode rocked

the clois fan in me is saying this episode might be better at points *cough*cloisex*cough* and that's my only gripe

1. Clark being with Lois all night at the hospital before Lois' disappearance
2. First Clois meeting in the future, everything about it, the watch, the hug TW totally is awesome there, the emotions that crossed Clark's face, love it
3. Luthor mansion, Clark: Take my life, let her live and how Clark pulled Lois to safety during the resistance group's break-in at the Luthor mansion
4. the cloisex (a little disappointed, but i guess it's my fault for hoping for too much lol)
5. that bittersweet kiss between Clark and Lois when she is about to return to the past
6. this time it is Clark breaking down Lois' walls for them to become a couple.. our man has made his move!!! and of course, that cute hand-holding scene, love it how Clark's large hand closed tightly around Lois' small one
7. and that scene with Clark almost strutting he is TOO happy, you could see it with how the way he walked in WT

and can I say? how hot is Callum Blue as Zod??

EDIT: one thing i LOVED in the cloisex? when Clark was unbuttoning Lois' shirt and he couldn't get one of the buttons, i loved how he forced it and you could hear the threads snap

Came home early from bar night to watch this and was totally blown away! Awesome ep, loved every little bit of it and each actor brought their A-game for this one.

Pandora was a strong episode to cap an incredible first half of the season, to be honest these past 9 episodes are probably the only first half of any season of Smallville that I’d be happy to marathon the whole way through. Thought the clois hook-up was hot (how could it not be) but for those who were a bit underwhelmed I reckon it’s a safe bet that when our couple finally get down and dirty in the present timeline then we’ll get something a little more in-depth.

Got my fingers crossed that the second half of the season rocks as hard as the first.

Cheers, Roadie

I was very happy with this episode. Finally! It's not just hints anymore, Lois and Clark really are the way they are meant to be: happy and together. Joy!

I loved the holding hands in the elevator too. I thought it was almost more moving and loving that the cloisex scene.

[*ai*]

^^i became happy after re-watching it, like 20 more times lol.. but you are right: Clois is happy AND together

[laed]

i glad the great eppy i love every moment i dream about clois come true

[Renatitinha]

the future was all kinds of amazing specially for all the feeling clark showed for lois, but the present is even better. he is the one to take a step and make them a couple. when they held hands in the elevator a tear fell from my eyes.. i can't believe our dream came true

'clark & lois, lois & clark as a couple'

*dead*

[michelle-ck]

I really liked the episode.It eas awesome .i feel bad that Lois lost her memory,but it did return things to a clean slate for Clark and Lois to begin on.them holding hands in the elevator was cute and sweet.I like liked how Clark didn't cower althought he knew the future.he was willing to risk having Lois no matter what happened.it was worth tempting fate for them to be together.His watching is own love scene had a bit of an eww factor,but it was done as tastefully as possible.it did,after all,give me hot flashesClark is so hot.first time in my life, i ever wanted to be someone's bath water and a button and sheet.and it was touching how Clark was willing to give up his father's watch his last treasure,and would try to go throug krypton for Lois.the kiss before he sent lois back to the future was so sweet.Clark & Lois are couple now hey!!!and first time in long time that we saw Clark smileing,he was so happy and he sent Lois red roses so cute.

[laed]

i love all there sence iit amazing i want more of there sence

Lol but think of it this way, we've seen future sex now its only a matter of time for real present day sex.

With that said, finally our couple is official. After 5 long years we now get to see non-stop kissing, more flirting, more touching, more holding, low and behold real dates, and real sex to look forward to. Who would have thought we'd ever get to where we are now with Clois? Never in a million years did we think we'd get Clois as an full fledge couple on a once dominate Clana show.

[Kal-EL]

I actually liked that tptb didn't focus on the sex scene we got plenty in the flashes (In Savior , Metallo, Rabid, Idol & Pandora)

Tptb focused on what really mattered the strong unbreakable relationship, Clark said it best @ the planet "I feel stronger when we are together."

This episode shows just how much Lois Lane truly means to Clark . (I'm glad present Clark got to see how his future self basically cut himself apart from humanity due to the absence of Lois in his life .)

The future that Clark witnessed won't happen now because Lois return in "Savior" .

My thoughts too! lol

[*ai*]

i really liked assertive Clark there

[Renatitinha]

who doesn't ai? after 8 years being stupid it is nice to clark being emotionally inteligent for once lol

[*Amelie*]

The scene I loved the most was when Clark kissed Lois just before she was leaving...... That was one hell of a kiss and I've never seen Clark kiss anyone that passionately!

It is in Renata's sig too!!

[mrswelling]

Rena, agreed!

Ameile - loved that part too, he knew he would see her again as she is going back to stop it (in his mind at the moment) but kissed her like it was their last.
Very strong moment imo.
