This week Zach is joined by Nick Ryan Magdoza to discuss the thirty sixth episode of Smallville, "Prodigal." Zach and Nick are joined by Always Hold On To Smallville listener and (if we may be so bold) fan Taylor Evanoff who made a special request to be part our discussion on "Prodigal" as it's his favorite episode of the entire series. We talk Taylor's Smallville fandom and how he discovered the series, if the chronology of this episode taking place the day after "Rush" makes any sense, and of course the big one...the most infamous dropped character and plot line in Smallville history...LUCAS LUTHOR! Reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated in this all new Always Hold On To Smallville!EPISODE ROUNDUP Zach's Grade: B+ Nick's Grade: A- Taylor's Grade: A+ IMDB Grade: 8.0 Superman Homepage Grade: 5/5 Bechdel Test: FAIL SERIES TALLY BOARD Amazing Technicolor Kryptonite: 2 Amnesia Count: 13Blue Shirt/Red Jacket: 5Clark Loses His Powers: 1 Episode Title Said In Episode: 13Hospital Visits: 20In Media Res: 1 Kent Truck Accidents: 5 KOs to Keep Clark's Secret: 12Mind Control Count: 8 Product Placement Pete: 1 Smallville High School Faculty Deaths: 3 Smallville High School Student Deaths: 6 Under The Influence: 11Weddings: 1 PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/alwaysmallvilleTWITTER: https://twitter.com/alwaysmallvilleFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/alwaysmallvilleEMAIL: alwaysmallville@gmail.com
