This week Zach is joined by Ryan Unicomb to discuss the one hundred forty eighth episode of Smallville, "Descent." We talk Ryan's Smallville fandom, the death of Lionel and its aftermath, the return of young Alexander as Lex's conscience, and some of the greatest Clark/Lex moments of the entire series. THIS IS (the latest Always Hold On To) SMALLVILLE!
