Episode 208 — 10×12 Collateral

This week, Zach is joined by Tricia Ennis from Always Hold On To DC’s Legends of Tomorrow to discuss the 208th episode of “Smallville,” “Collateral.”

They talk about the underwhelming follow-up to the midseason finale’s big cliffhanger, the show’s continued misunderstanding and underserving of Black Canary, the return of the worst Suicide Squad, and Chloe being basically Oracle. You can trust the latest Always Hold On To Smallville!

Check out Tricia’s articles on SYFY Wire and Tricia’s podcast Always Hold On To DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.
