Episode 14 - 1x14 Zero

This week Zach is joined by Matt Latham to discuss the fourteenth episode of Smallville, "Zero." Matt is our first guest from across the pond, so we spend the first few minutes discussing the logistics of watching an American show in a foreign country, as well as his history with Smallville and the comic book genre in general. Points of discussion include Tom Welling's finest moment yet, Lex Luthor's never-quite-altruistic motivations, and Matt walking us through TV Tropes' breakdown of the episode.
