This week Zach is joined by KSiteTV's Ian Gildersleeve to discuss the twenty sixth episode of Smallville, "Nocturne." Ian is the author of KSiteTV's Beauty & The Beast episode reviews, a series which has several Smallville connections including star Kristin Kreuk and executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders. It also has some striking similarities to this episode (the first Peterson and Souders wrote for Smallville). We talk Ian's Superman and Smallville fandom, his love for Beauty & The Beast, an interesting theory on how this episode could tie into the Veritas mythology from season seven, and much, much more! We stayed up all night recording this poetic episode

of Always Hold On To Smallville!
