This week Zach is joined by Craig Byrne, webmaster of Kryptonsite and K-SiteTV and author of several companion books on the series, and Matt Truex from Lois & Clark’d: The New Podcasts of Superman (and Always Hold On To The Flash) to discuss the one hundred forty seventh episode of “Smallville,” “Veritas.”
The Writers Guild of America strike in 2007 almost made this the season seven finale, so we talk about what that original version of the episode would have been and much more! The latest Always Hold On To Smallville contains the secret to ultimate power!
Kryptonsite has always been the hub of “Smallville” fandom, and I highly recommend checking out both it and its sister site KSiteTV which covers all genre television currently on the air!
