معلومات عن هذه الحلقة
We’re revisiting Smallville Season 9, Episode 3, “Rabid,” a horror-inspired rewatch that feels like the show’s love letter to zombie movies like Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later. We had an absolute blast with this one as Clark races to save a zombie-infected Lois, leading to some fantastic Clois moments, creepy action, and one of the most fun standalone episodes of the season. We also talk about why Smallville’s movie homage episodes work so well, Oliver’s downward spiral, the eerie outbreak across Metropolis, and how the ending quietly sets up even bigger things to come with Zod.
