From Kryptonsite.com Smallville 4x05 Run - First SpoilersThursday 19 August 2004, by xanderbnd We first meet Bart Allen in a hotel suite in Metropolis. He’s in the bathroom taking a shower, and while he’s in there Clark Kent has broken in to the hotel room. He finds Bart’s bag in a messy room littered with fast food wrappers and clothes. He sees a stack of sneaker boxes, and by them is a backpack full of stolen items, and strangely, multiple photo identification cards. The cards, all with Bart’s grinning face on them, have four different names - Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West... and Bartholomew Allen.
Bart asks Clark what he is doing in his room. Clark says that technically, the room is Clark’s dad’s, since it was paid for with Jonathan’s credit card. Sarcastic Bart tells Clark "I don’t know what you’re talking about," and calls him "Hairdo." Bart superspeeds himself into some clothes - cargo pants and a red sweatshirt with a yellow collar. Clark tells Bart that he saw him save Jonathan from a car in the morning. "No one sees me when I’m doing my thing, man," Bart tells him. Clark tells him that he’s not the only one who can move like a flash. Bart tells him "I’ll be a thousand miles away before you can even blink." "I can blink pretty fast," Clark challenges. The conversation ends with Bart telling Clark he’s not big on chit chat, and saying "smell you later" and speeding off. There’s a later scene with Bart at the Kent Farm. Bart refers to himself as the Fastest Man Alive and says that he was surprised that someone else "like him" turned out to be "Jimmy Crack Corn fresh from the farm." Somehow Bart cons his way into a hot meal and a stay on the Kent couch. Bart tells Clark that around the time he was 8, there was "this, I don’t know, accident or something. All I remember is a flash of light, then my body just went into overdrive." Keep in mind this is Bart telling a story, and he DOES have an overactive imagination, so who knows if he’s telling the truth. Bart also says that his parents freaked when he "went all hyperspeed," but if they were truly Don and Dawn Allen, that may be doubtful. Bart superspeeds around Clark’s loft, and reveals "Mr. Kent likes to read about Native American mythology, he’s scrawled the name ’Lana’ in all his notebooks, and he has one of the most boring hobbies known to man: rock collecting. Bart opens up one of the rocks, which instantly weakens Clark. "I’m allergic," Clark tells him. Bart tells a story about how he lives on the street stealing "bling" in Suicide Slum. Bart tells Clark, "We’re a couple of super-powered studs," and challenges him to have some fun. We’re not sure if these scenes leaked are part of the actual episode or are setup for auditioning. The sides say nothing of an episode title and don’t appear to be part of a greater whole. But, the whole idea of Bart Allen in the storyline sounds fantastic to us, and we (well, webmaster Craig at least) would love to see a spin-off if the actor chosen turns out to be good. |
