Episode 17 - 1x17 Reaper

This week Zach is joined by Lance Laster to discuss the seventeenth episode of Smallville, "Reaper." We respond to listener reviews and emails, then jump into discussing what is one of the series' most frustrating episodes. There's no denying the Freak of the Week plot here is one of Smallville's worst. Still, "Reaper" contains life lessons that are truly worth holding on to and the one scene of the entire series that most resonated with Zach.
