Curtis Knox's desire for an imortal mate - Star Trek, Requiem for Methuselah

And, most importantly, framing someone for murder by killing your own clone - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, A Man Alone

If Lex made clones the way Dr. Bashir did, I could see where a clone might not be "alive" in the growing human sense.

You tell em, Odo!!!

Although, Commander Riker and Dr. Pulaski had unauthorized clones of themselves destroyed. Maybe that was a clobortion.

Actually it was the best part of this episode IMO I haven't seen something so funny in long time.

It's really Bonaparte. It's Napoleon crossing the Alps by Jacques-Louis David.

So, do the writers not know when Napoleon was alive, or couldn't they find a picture that looked more like 1675?

They should have used "Butcher Cumberland" from 1745!

What's all this talk about Star Trek? Jack the Ripper was a serial killer from the 1800s who killed a few prostitutes.

I thought Savage was a Batman's villian.....

Savage has fought against a number of heroes over the years in the comics. He started out in 1943 as a villain of the Golden Age Green Lantern.

Is Dr. Knox a homage to Vandal Savage? Smallville is suppose to be based on the DC continuity obviously the show has major alterations with the story plot, but the majority of the characters are intact.

Dr. Curtis Knox is really just an alias used by him (much like Vandal Savage is in the comics, his true name is actually Vandar Adg). Other names he's gone by over the years include Julius Ceasar, Blackbeard, Genghis Khan and Jack the Ripper. Personally, I like the fact that they brought him in and we don't realize that he's Savage, until he confirms that he was Jack the Ripper.

I haven't seen anyone above mention the really cool lines (in my humble opinion). Knox says to Clark that he will never know the pain of living forever and watching his loved ones die while he lives on. Clark has kind of figured out, though, that he will live forever, barring being killed. He replies to Knox that "We're more alike than you think!"

Which has a double meaning, to me. One, the immortality, and two, that they've both played the Superman/Clark Kent character.

As an aside, there was an episode on Lois & Clark where they both find out that because of Clark's alien physiology, he won't ever die, and it's pretty hard for Lois to take. So it's very fitting that Dean Koontz played Knox (aka Vandal Savage) in this episode.

Maybe. The only way to kill Dr. Knox is to chop off his head there can be only one

I thought this was a joke thread at first, but the man said he was Jack the Ripper? And how old is he? Jack the Ripper was from the freaking Victorian Age.

And how old is he? Jack the Ripper was from the freaking Victorian Age.

Well, if "Knox" is the guy most of us are reasonably certain he is, he's a lot older than that. Picture a caveman -- not a nice, metro Geiko caveman, but a primitive Savage with the bloodlust fully intact after getting hit by a prehistoric meteor rock, gaining immortality, IQ and then eons of experience. That would be this guy.
