What I'm Watching: Smallville

Smallville: Season 8, Episode 8 "Bloodline" (C)

I can't count the number of times every single character on this show has been possessed, though I'm happy to acknowledge that this isn't the worst time it's been done like this. Part of the reason for that is that this episode involves delving further into the backstory of one Davis Bloome and his dangerous superpowers. I've appreciated the grander focuses of episodes recently, rather than on just one specific plotline, but in this case the only supporting story is the return of Kara, who I'll admit I haven't missed, though her performance in the show's previous season finale was pretty terrific. I'm not sure whether she's sticking around, but considering how the rest of the show has sort of turned around this season, hopefully they can incorporate her and improve her as well.
