Host Anthony Desiato and guest Craig Byrne (KryptonSite/KSiteTV) dig into the "ships" of SMALLVILLE — aka its various romantic pairings — including Clana, Clois, Chlark, Lexana, and more. They discuss the critical role that the relationship drama played in SMALLVILLE's success; defining moments between Clark and Lana, Lois, Chloe, and Alicia; ships that never sailed (and that sadly did!); the fan discourse around the show's romances; and how Anthony's fandom of a legendary TV sitcom finally helped him come to terms with "Requiem."

Plus! Anthony and Craig discuss the show's use of Red Kryptonite, its impact on Clark's personal relationships, and what it revealed each time about the future Superman.
