Episode Quotes

Season 8 / Episode 1: - Odyssey

John Jones: How does it feel to be whole again?

Clark Kent: I was dying. You saved me. You brought me to some white light.
John Jones: The healing effect of the sun brought you back from death. I promised Jor-El that I would only be a watchful guardian, but I could not stand by and let you die.
Clark Kent: You shouldn't have had to.
John Jones: Jor-El knew he was sending you on an impossible odyssey. To be the given the power of a god... yet exist among humans.
Clark Kent: Sometimes I feel like I need to be two separate people. Either way, I can't keep expecting you to save me.
John Jones: Well, that was the last time. The burning sun may strengthen you, but it has the opposite effect on me. It stripped me of my powers. And we both know... that yours is a greater destiny. But with the Fortress destroyed, you'll have to do it without Jor-El's guidance.
Clark Kent: Or anyone else's.

Season 8 / Episode 1: - Odyssey

Clark Kent: How does an ice fortress disappear into thin air?
Oliver Queen: I feel like there's a punch line to that question.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: Chloe is being showed a fast sequence of pictures and she says the pattern is "barn, tiger, car, hammer, tree, building, cup, phone, toaster, house, doll, football, book, umbrella, bench, paper clip". However, neither her screen nor the technician's monitor show a picture of a "paper clip".

TRIVIA

The building used to portray the Black Creek LuthorCorp Facility in Montana is the same building used as a hospital in the Season 2 premiere of "Supernatural" (2005) {In My Time of Dying (#2.1)}.
While rescuing Clark, Oliver gives his name as "Roy Conner". This name is a reference to Roy Harper (Green Arrow's sidekick, Speedy) and Conner Hawke (Green Arrow's son and successor) from the comic books.
