Host Anthony Desiato and guest Zach Moore (Always Hold On To Smallville) pick up right where they left off last week as they continue charting Clark's personal journey across the decade-long television series SMALLVILLE.

This week, they follow Clark into the so-called "Dropout Years," when he left college to run the farm after Jonathan's death and shied away from the destiny that awaited — even as he developed super-breath, encountered more of his future Justice League teammates, rounded up escaped Phantom Zone prisoners, and looked after Kara Zor-El.

Then, they enter the Metropolis Years, aka the final era of the show, in which Clark started working at the Daily Planet, embarked on a romantic relationship with Lois, developed a dual superhero identity (The Blur), and — at long last — reconciled both of his worlds before taking flight as Superman.

"A Superboy Fan Journey" Chapter XVIII.
