The BD9 encode handles the episode’s stark visual contrasts surprisingly well. Daytime Smallville scenes are clean with natural grain retention—no major banding in the Kansas skies. The real test is the episode’s climactic fight in the Inverse Method chamber: deep blacks, glowing green (X-Kryptonite) and red (heat vision) highlights. The 1080p AVC encode holds up, though fine detail in fast-moving, smoke-filled shots shows minor macroblocking (a BD9 limitation). Overall, a solid 4/5 for the format.
