Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT For a DC show that started in the early 2000s, much of Smallville has aged relatively well, but there are still some scenes that are awkward when revisiting the series. That isn’t to say these scenes weren’t awkward for viewers at the time too, and even sometimes the Smallville cast themselves.
“Rosenbaum: Clark arrives home to Kent farm to find his parents going at it in the kitchen...Schneider really went after it and you can see how uncomfortable Martha was. I don't know...I hate to use the word it seems a little rapeyWelling: Oh, I think that was like a 12-minute runner that they had to edit down...that's the only time 12 minutes seems long--when it comes to that stuff.”
Clark never averts his eyes or even looks ashamed, instead, the scene cuts out on him grinning as he continues to watch. This seems somewhat out of character for Clark, who is usually very respectful in the show. Having the main character who is meant to be morally upstanding engaging in such a violation of people’s privacy is very uncomfortable to watch.
Once at the pool, audiences are shown a scene of Lana performing a striptease for Clark before jumping into the pool. The camera very clearly shows Lana in a highly sexualized manner throughout the process. However, while actor Kristin Kreuk was a legal adult at the time, the character of Lana is supposed to be 14 during the first season. Regardless of how old the actor is, it’s very uncomfortable to watch the show present a 14-year-old character in such a sexual manner.
After losing a lot of weight, Jodi begins needing to consume fat to survive. She does this by sucking the fat out of animals and, eventually, people. In perhaps the worst scene of the episode, she is seen unhinging her jaw and sucking the fat out of some roadkill. This scene and others like it depict Jodi as a monster in a way that is directly linked to her eating disorder.
