TV Review: SMALLVILLE - SEASON EIGHT - 'Injustice'

It’s drama drama drama drama drama followed by more drama on SMALLVILLE, “Injustice”. Next week is the season finale, so they had to throw some extra spice in this episode for the final build up. I’m sure die hard fans of SMALLVILLE thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Me, I was entertained, but not blown away.

was caught off guard by Chloe’s (Allison Mack) seeming 180 turn around on what should be done about Davis (Sam Witwer, who, incidentally, did not make an appearance this episode). She turned from his sole advocate into one of the lynch mob out to execute him. The presence of Bette (Jessica Parker Kennedy), AKA Plastique and Parasite (Brendan Fletcher) added to my suspicion that something was very wrong with Chloe.



In what felt like a lazy bail out, it turns out that it wasn’t really Chloe at all. It was Eva (Anna Williams), Tess Mercer’s (Cassidy Freeman) personal assistant, who just also happens to be a shape shifter. It seemed week, being that I don’t remember any mention of her having any abilities, much less that of a shape shifter. No matter, this little sleight of hand finally allows Tess to confirm that Clark (Tom Welling) is really of alien origin, and the one mentioned in the prophecy to battle Doomsday.



I suppose what we can take from “Injustice” is that all the cards are laid out now. Davis will not be saved (anyone who has read the comics knows that, but at least now it’s official on SMALLVILLE). The battle between Clark and Doomsday will happen.
