Smallville Rewatch Season 1, Episode 6: Hourglass
Clark and meets Cassandra, an old blind woman with the ability to see the future. A Murderer is on the lose and Cassandra sees Lex's dark future.
The Good: I always remember this episode as one of the best of the series and I wasn't disappointed on my second viewing. There is just so much to love about this episode. I love Clark and company's attempts to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Harry Volk and the connection with past murders. Cassandra is a great character who gives us some insight into Clark's uncertain future and Lex's dark one. I'm not sure why Cassandra saw Clark surrounded by the graves of everyone he loves. Was it his greatest fear? Or was it something that will eventually happen? I think it was the former because of the lack of a Lois Lane gravestone. The villain in this was suitably creepy and menacing and in my humble opinion leagues better than any of the previous ones. He didn't need powers to carry out his evil plot to murder the children of the jurors who convicted him. The actors who played him were great and were a great match for an older and younger Harry Volk. The face off between him and Clark after he is stopped the first time and playing the part of an innocent victim is well done. I love Clark's confidence in this scene and Harry's villainy.
The Bad: There wasn't anything I really didn't like about this episode.
Fond Memories: I've decided to eliminate this section as I am short on time and I can always include this in 'Final thoughts'.
Final Random Thoughts: On the surface the plot doesn't look like much but it offers up a great story with insight into characters and no Whitney!
