magnetic

God I hate rollercoasters. Rollercoasters! No holiday is complete without one! Smallville has a theme park? It really isn’t that small is it?
No, it’s tacky.
Chloe briefly touched on something very deep about reaction to tragedy then, but was superbly derailed by the unexpected appearance of by candy
Please leave Lana.
I’m really hoping Lex is at this fair somewhere, preferably eating candy floss.
My lab partner and I held the school record for components destroyed during an hour-long practical
“Aim!” useful advice from Chloe, as always.
Oh, come on, let the nerdy guy slip his un-girlfriend a snow globe. He doesn’t really seem like the kind of guy to get upset about a snow globe.
The last security they had at this fair was an homicidal police officer, so I wouldn’t hold out much hope.
Lana has a cellphone, why doesn't she call an ambulance?
Why on earth are they giving him an MRI scan?
Scarily, yes those ominous clicking noises are normal
That however is decidedly unusual
The poor guy asked for help and all he got was Lana. Get Lana out of the treatment room!
Cute? With that great big cut?
You should never pay by the hour for any job that takes an indeterminate amount of time
The trick would have been more exciting if he'd managed to eat the jelly though. Being able to eat jelly without expending any energy whatsoever must be cool.
Does this mean that this guy has a magnetic personality?
I'm always excited by jelly. Who wouldn't be?
Why is Clark there? Does he know this kid?
Clark shows his appreciation at someone else’s destructive capabilities.
Look at Clark's furrowed brow as someone tries to ask out his un-girlfriend
Why is he attracting that trolley? What could possibly be on there that's more interesting than trying the jelly again?
Clark looks to see if the Fridge Fairies have been.
Eat the pie! It’s the last slice, it might not be there when you next look.
"She said yes to another man, she must be being manipulated in some wildly bizarre way!"
I love Jonathan’s scepticism.
You were in his hospital room Clark! It's not like the bed-ridden young man could go somewhere more private
Ohh, he’s wearing the special jacket. I like that jacket.
That was a rather brief show of bravado on Chloe's part
Lana is actually doing some work. She’s probably doing it wrong, but still...
“Sure, I’ll cover for you, I do it all the time anyway.” "No I can't bloody cover for you, you're the manager, you've got all the keys and you're the only person who knows where the bin bags go. And how come I'm never allowed to wander off with random men in the middle of *my* shift?"
They don’t take the rides away because that would be sensible, and this is Smallville.
Ah, the return of creepy stalker!Clark
At least this freak is open about his abilities.
How long has Seth had to practice at this? Because at this point I’d still be attracting random cutlery.
I don't trust Ferris Wheels at the best of times, there's no way I would go on one that was simply being operated by the power of somebody's mind
Only Lana would fall for that.
He’s not sorry in the slightest. Is he going to zip her top back up?
“Well, do you?” shoots back Clark.
I would just like to tell the world that Tobin has to plait her strawberry laces before she eats them. Considering how much she mocked my five minutes of Smallville preparation I would like to point out that she is just weird.
That's a funky new school sign
I had a really good Lana/Tin-man-needing-a-brain joke I was working on and then I realised it was the scarecrow that wanted the brain. Damn.
Well everyone has an idea of what you’re capable of now.
How did they get in there? That’s illegal! Where is the security in this town?
I doubt "Can manipulate metal with his mind" is something they're gonna find in the doctor's notes
Chloe is well versed in sneaking in etiquette.
Yeah because you just have that information lying around.
Oh, well done Chloe! Seize that opportunity.
Sudden image of Clark in a candy-striper's uniform... *Quiver*. Okay, that was me sharing a little too much about my sexual turn-ons, I'm just going to keep quiet and move on now.
I love the way Clark almost looses the ability to stand after Chloe's kiss
I wonder if his magnetic-ness could do anything for my arthritic elbow?
“You what?” howls Clark, “You mean you like freaks?”
Well, that’s because Whitney couldn’t string a sentence together and Clark has been Stalker Boy, no wonder Lana likes Seth.
Chloe’s learning to deal with the destruction of The Torch a lot better. Another break-in? This must be the world's least secure high school
She’s just letting that guy walk away with the computer? No biting? Scratching? Kicking? He’s got your hard drive! Rugby tackle him! You really don’t want that in enemy hands. I know I would attack anyone who tried to remove Diego
Lana must have a little drawer of non-pastel items of clothing, especially for these 'doing insane things which under meteor-induced mind control' moments. Like Angel's evil leather trousers
MR is looking extraordinarily hot this week. The Pink Gloss lady must’ve been on a course or something.
Just let her go Lex, you know you want to.
Urgh, ugly car.
Sweet ride compared to what?
If people would just let up on the clutch a little, they’d pull away a lot faster.
Clark is mindlessly destroying a road and endangering Lana and Seth’s lives.
It’s not like the road melted. The road actually melted.
So Lana just sits there.
If the tarmac was hot enough to be liquid, it would have been hot enough to completely melt those tyres
You'd have thought, seeing that there was a car stuck in the road and a phalanx of Police cars, that truck would have stopped. Or at least slowed down a little
Lana’s abandonment issues come back again.
Oh please sheriff, shoot her.
Are the police all going to have to stand around the car until the road cools down before Lana can get out?
Yay, it's the incredibly cheery coloured jail!
Hooray! Lana behind bars!
Lex its the one pressing the other charges, why would he need a lawyer to work on them?
Go on Clark, pull on her hand and make her head smack against the bars.
He didn't try Chloe, he did steal it
Also, he's right there in Smallville, she'd have to drive all the way to Metropolis to accuse Lionel
Guts, sheer stupidity; often very similar.
Taking a girl to the morgue is probably Lex’s idea of a date.
Actually the corpse doesn’t say anything.
Clark should be much better at detecting lies than he is.
No, the real Lana's nowhere near that convincing
His feelings might not have been but everything else is.
Yes! Yes you did! Don't question the decision
Pete! It's Pete's yes ma'am! Yay for Pete and his one scene. Poor Sam Jones, they fly him to Vancouver once a week just to say one line
Why bother putting 'Not Operating' signs on the ride if the entire fairground is closed down?
They have a compass that points to Seth North?
You might not be able to fight physics but apparently you can twist it in whatever manage you wish to wrap up the plot... What the hell was meant to have happened there? TV shows always fight physics. And reverse the polarity.
Okay, Lana in those overalls is very funny.
I like the fact that Smallville have so many people on Community Service that they have special uniforms. They should have made her wear the fluorescent orange jacket as well
The good old Smallville amnesia strikes again. Clark destroys the life of another character that has stumbled onto his secret.
Also, they have a contract that means Lex can't actually fire her. Sadly he has to take her back
They need to stop ruining Lex’s scenes by putting Lana in them.
Oh Lex, come on, you know exactly who.
"Of course not! Well, okay just a little. But only because he kissed another girl..."
Or in other words, at age 16 Lana has never been without a boyfriend and she cannot possibly consider life without one.
Woo Hoo! Less than a week until 's hattered'.

shattered

I have my coffee, my duvet, my computer, my cuddly giraffe and what may be the largest slice of lemon pie known to man. I think I'm just about prepared for this episode... I’ve eaten my emergency comfort pudding already, that’s how much the waiting for this episode has got to me.
It looks like this doctor has embraced the urban chic look.
I told you he wasn't dead! Didn't I tell you he wasn't dead?
Do they really think we can’t work out it’s Morgan Edge for ourselves?
Could they not afford Rutger Hauer for this episode then?
Arrggh! Unexpected! Lex.
You can't get DNA from sweat, Lex
Yeah, because crime lords are petrified of the police.
What the hell is Lex doing here anyway?
Morgan Edge has also put on a few pounds, and grown at least a foot.
Shouldn’t he be doing that somewhere less likely to be bugged?
“Gin soaked mother.” Well, that would mean that she lit up fairly easily then.
Penniless workers living in a tenement had life insurance?
I wonder what Lex's safe combination is
Gah! Man! Man on the ceiling!
I can never see men descending on ropes like that without thinking of the hilarious ‘breaking into the administration office’ scene in Dead Man on Campus.
Why do people use those laser sights anyway? The victims always spot them just in time
Well, Darius wasn’t worth the money that Lex was paying him.
Trust Lex not to get the Milk Tray Man but the Bring You Death and Destruction Man.
He still runs like a girl, even in an emergency.
Well, that's yet another triumph for the high-quality building materials in the ancient castle
I’m breathless already and it’s only just the titles.
How the hell did Clark not jump a mile then?
Lex Studies. Clark (and I) would get an A in Lex studies
“If someone asks I’ll just play dumb.” Not a great stretch of Clark’s acting abilities there then.
13988
Why does the little safe need a light?
Did they use Methos’ 24 Hour Glazier service?
The security staff don't seem very surprised to find Clark walking the halls in the early hours of the morning
For the full effect that should be a flannel shirt. He's wearing Clark's clothes?
I notice how Clark fails to mention that Lex is also wearing his clothes.
In any other episode I'd be making a really tasteless joke about the 'Alien Love Slave' headline on Chloe's wall
Clark recognises that Chloe will not be separated from her computer.
How many people can Clark put up in his barn?
“A psychotic break.” Sounds like a description of the upcoming Abermoot.
Now is the time Jonathan decides to trust Lionel Luthor.
Aw, Lex has a blanket baby! It’s just a man holding a blanket, how on earth can it feel that unsettling?
Gee Martha, ya think?
I like the fact Clark could hide two people in his loft and Jonathan didn't notice
Go Lex! Give ‘em hell.
He chose Lex! *warm, fuzzy feeling*. Oh Clark! I don't think I've ever been more proud of him than am I right now
That slow motion sequence is fantastic.
Lex is becoming way too attached to that piece of glass
That's a poor excuse. Why would they be having a session in the hallway?
Lex must be the only person who could say ‘hallucinogen’ correctly while under stress.
He's trusting Lex's safety to Lana? Oh, that’s all the poor guy needs.
“I don’t know what I’m doing here.” Does Lana ever know anything? What sort of person just ups and goes off in the middle of the night to a strange location without any sort of explanation?
Where does Chloe get these sources? How does she get hold of medical records?
That's it you stupid girl, offer relaxants to the guy with paranoid delusions about people trying to drug him.
Go Lex! He’s been waiting to do that for ages.
Go on! Trample her!
Trust Lex to get an armed truck.
I think the Don Quixote reference is lost on Clark.
Shout back at him Clark.
“Baling all that hay can make you pretty strong.” I like the fact Clark kept a little bit of Kal for emergencies.
“How did you get in here Lex?” “Through the door Dad, I may be nuts but I know I can’t fly!”
Oh, I love that line, "Well, when people think you're insane and you're holding a rifle to their heads, they pretty much do as you ask."
I think this is really more of an issue for Jerry Springer.
Oh, I think deep down he wants to hurt you quite a lot.
An accident? What exactly is Lionel implying here?
Or you keep squeezing Clark, not "and". This Clark may be sexy beyond all reason, but he still hasn't quite got the threats right
"Muscle aches, sleeplessness..." I have those symptoms too! Okay, which one of you is spiking my milk?
Wow, look at the relief on Lex’s face.
You bastard Clark, you complete and utter bastard. I don’t care if he was scared, I don’t care if he panicked, and I don’t care that he is only seventeen. There is absolutely no excuse for abandoning Lex there. And there is nothing he is *ever* going to be able to do to make that better. On first viewing I absolutely agreed with you about this. Now I've seen it again though... Clark thinks Lex believes he's part of Edge's conspiracy, Lex has threatened to kill him once, and has just realised that he *isn't even human*. Clark isn't leaving Lex to the doctors, because he's gone before the doctors arrive. He's just running from *Lex*, which. okay, is still a crappy thing to do, but not as bad as it first might seem
There's no way that car reached 80mph on a driveway
Lex has a point, they really ought to look at the car.
Clark went to the hospital to be with *Lana*. I repeat the bastard comment.
As much as I hate to admit it, I think Lana is actually making sense here.
They’re playing ‘Hurt’. That’s pretty much the only time Smallville has ever got the music right.
Oh wow. That was amazing and unsettling and heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time.

asylum

I have been so anxious waiting for this episode, I’ve turned to alcohol.
Belle Reve Sanatorium: Guaranteed to make you more insane than you were on admittance
That looks disturbingly like the selection of pills I have to take every morning, only some of mine are pink. I bet he’s not taking those drugs.
There's something very funny about them having 'Roadrunner' on the asylum TV
Hey, I’m right! I actually swallow mine though. Go Lex! Beat the system. Does nobody check the paints for this kind of thing? It seem a pretty obvious way to get rid of them
Who’s that? Which one was that? I’m getting confused by all the people that Clark has managed to get sent to a mental institution.
Surely prison would’ve been more appropriate for all of those three? Especially given the crimes they committed, and the fact they weren’t crazy in any way.
"Actually, no..."
Has Lex drawn Warrior Angel? For someone equipped with three pots of poster paint and a wide brush, Lex's painting is actually very good
He’s been in there a month? Why on earth hasn’t Clark rescued him yet?
Okay, I had a whole spiel about how Clark was still redeemable after last week, but I was wrong. He's a bastard. I’d call Clark a bastard but Lex just did it for me. Is that the first swear word we’ve had on 's mallville'? It's the first swear word E4 have let us hear, that's for sure
I actually found myself standing up and cheering Lex on during his escape attempt.
Oh ow, barbed wire. Don't grab the wire, grab the bar! There's a knack to getting through those fences that Lex was obviously never taught
Okay, he’s been sacrificed by his father and betrayed by his best friend, and now they’ve given him stigmata? That’s a little unsettling.
How on earth did Clark expect Lex to act?
Yes he can take it personally, and he should, Martha.
I love Jonathan’s quick check to make sure that Clark isn't planning to break Lex out.
Why is it good!?
Yes you can!
“Lex is different” - Yeah, now Lex has bought their farm back for them, for no other reason than it was a nice thing to do, Jonathan’s quite happy to see him rot. Bastard. I sense I’m going to be saying that a lot this episode.
"I'm not saying..." Yes you are! That's quite clearly what you're saying you mean, horrible, little man
If they had broken their legs, they sure as hell wouldn't have had advanced physical therapy to help them get over it.
God, now she’s at it too.
I love the idea of a cheerleading pile-up
Oh there are a lot of words not in Lana’s vocabulary, Adam.
I know people who have broken their leg and been back riding within a month. Admittedly they were jockeys and therefore quite insane, but nonetheless Lana's taking her time over the recovery
I like Adam. He may not have the wisest physical therapy routine in the world but he’s annoying Lana. I approve of that in a person. I like any guy that wants to see Lana in pain
Lex... That’s a little over the top. I half expect him to want to eat someone’s liver with a nice Chianti. I have to say this is the world’s worst portrayal of a mental institution.
I’m so proud of Lex right now.
Lex is in a bare cell, secured beneath a cage and yet they allow Van to have skulls in his room? That seems a little off.
Shouldn’t Eric also know Clark’s weakness?
That "enemy of your enemy" thing doesn't always work
But she feels comfortable allowing a patient’s treatment be directed by a member of their family?
Are they going to lobotomise him or something?
"Less than 50%" and "other half". There are some patients not accounted for there
Where the hell are they getting these medical records from? Either there’s a Private Medical Records.com out there, of the students of Smallville High are expert computer hackers.
“It’s been really tough,” says Chloe, “But she’s found herself another boyfriend.”
Actually, I really appreciate cards.
Oh for god’s sake, she only broke her leg.
I've never understood why they encourage dangerous prisoners to be physically fit
Is it wise to allow mental patients unsupervised access to metal weights? Ah, apparently not.
I’m sure Mr. Watkins really appreciates people talking about him as if he’s not there.
Must be... I was just going to say that! I was going to ask about the itch as well
Anyone who can be that snotty, while tied down in a cage is an incredibly strong guy.
That is one of the finest exit lines I've ever heard. "If you wanna save your cerebrum, you know where to find me..." Although that’s going to be quite hard for him given the fact he’s trapped under a cage.
I wasn’t the only one who laughed when Lana collapsed in a heap was I?
Oh look, they’re made for each other. They’re both orphans with grating personalities. That's a fake story if ever I heard one.
Poor Pete gets to use his one scene of this episode to rant. Rant, Pete, rant! No, Pete... Please don't make me hate Pete
There has to be a joke about feeling Lionel's invisible hand
Yay! He came to save him, it’s about a month too late but at least he made the effort.
So that's a total of four co-eds?
Even when Lex is beaten to a pulp he’s still trying to defend Clark, I hope Clark is taking note.
I think we should find a small third world country and try out all these things, just so we know for sure.
No! Go back! Go back to the asylum! I don't give a damn about Lana right now! Go back!
It was entirely your idea!
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god. I'm not sure I can watch this bit
I’m fairly certain they don’t let family watch, and I’m absolutely certain they put the patient to sleep before hand. I'm also fairly certain that they'd do it in a clean and well-lit room, not in some dark cupboard in the middle of the night
I don’t know who is more evil, Lionel for setting this up or the doctor for going along with this.
No, I really can't watch this bit, I've tried, but it's just not going to happen
Skittles! Clark bowling! That's so cool
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, again. This is actually extremely distressing. I just had my hands over my eyes for the last five minutes and I'm not sure I want to know what happened. Thinking about it though, if there were unexpected power fluctuations, why the hell didn't they switch the damn equipment off?
Now Lionel's sounding concerned?
He annoys Lana and he gets pastries? That's so not fair
Lana's made a life out of remembering painful moments
Jumping into relationships is about all Lana is capable of.
I don’t like neutered! Lex, although I do get a vague feeling he might be faking.
Clark has got a five o’clock shadow in this scene with Lex.
*Tell him* Clark. How many opportunities does Clark have to be given, for god’s sake.
Okay, someone needs to take Jonathan outside and kick the crap out of him. You have no earthly idea how much I want to punch Jonathan right now
Which crime exactly? Murdering his parents or mentally raping h is son?
He didn’t look particularly happy to me.
Martha is just so desperate for a straight son right now.
I bet Lionel is regretting wiping Lex’s memory now.
This is a suitably downbeat party.
I am just going to completely ignore these utterly useless Lana-centric codas that they seem contractually obliged to tack on to the end of every episode. The producers need to stop thinking with their dicks and start using their brains and realise that nobody else gives a crap about this girl
How on earth are they going to show a repeat of this at 6.30pm? They’re going to have to cut out at least half the scenes.

whisper

No Lana, he’s looking in the window of a jewellers because he wants to buy a cabbage. Good grief.
I think Lex would prefer a watch, or maybe a tasteful ankle bracelet. I like the idea of Lex in an ankle bracelet. It looks good on him
Does hospital jelly taste different to normal jelly?
Lana just stopped to make him feel bad didn't she?
Is it wise to be planning a heist in an open top car outside the intended target?
What sort of moron robs a place like this in broad daylight?
Martha did that deliberately. "If anyone come in looking for presents, point them towards this..."
That throat thing is freaky.
I’ve never understood how putting tights on your head is supposed to be a disguise.
Go shopkeeper!
Not being able to see around Lana would be a relief in my book.
Damnit! Someone's hoovering and I can't hear! What kind of fool hoovers during 's mallville'?
Martha’s employing the ‘plumped up cushion’ approach to making people feel better.
Handcuffed?
Um, he’s blind, not deaf. He can still hear you, you know.
Let Clark be optimistic Martha
Actually, that's a worrying possibility
He's gone blind and he doesn't even get a day off school?
Clark knows Lex, the owner of the coolest selection of sunglasses known to man, and he chose to wear those?
What is Clark going to do with his books?
“I could help..., get in the way, that sort of thing”
Yes, but he could go through this without Lana
Oh, this is going to be an “all the other senses get heightened” episode. Utter rubbish.
That is possibly the first dramatic representation of the Hammer, the Anvil and the Stirrup. That's a shockingly incorrect inner ear.
Doesn't Chloe have caller id on her mobile?
Lex jabbed an armed guard in the leg with the last pencil he had, so that’s probably not the wisest task to delegate to him.
That is no way to lead a blind person. You have to stand in front of them so they don’t get hit, not wildly push them towards obstacles.
Why are they letting him go in the barn? Surely that’s dangerous. Mind you, it’s not like he won’t bounce if he falls down the stairs.
Has he lost his X-ray vision as well?
Don't mention Chloe and Lionel, Clark...
They're never Ray-bans
I like the idea of having an ophthalmologist on call
Aw, Brave!Clark and Brave!Lex both in the same room.
Poor Lex, he was so *proud* when he set up his new electric pencil sharpener.
There are some very strange-looking things in the walls of the Kent house
“And damnit! I want something to do!”
That’s the closest to a hissy fit that Martha has ever got.
Does Lex remember doing that?
She’d choose a ‘hello’ over thousands of pounds worth of medical bills?
"Clark hasn't been around." Which isn't actually Clark's fault, is it?
She charged Adam’s presents to her work account, and she‘s not getting the sack? I get in trouble for using the internet during my lunch hour *and* my boss looks nothing like Lex. Life is unfair.
Lex had so many physical therapy jokes he wanted to make just then.
Still want that car.
How exactly is Clark navigating his way around the barn? I wondered that, but then I happily wandered round my parents house in the pitch dark (I was fetching a drink and didn't want to wake anyone) without bumping into anything, so it is possible
You have to admire Chloe's honesty
Yes, that's why she did it
Clark doesn't look very secure on that fence
Wow, Pete gets to be kidnapped! This isn’t his big episode, is it?
It's a little (excuse the phrase) short-sighted to assume that visual evidence is the only kind that could be any help
"It is too a help"? Has Jonathan been watching 'Buffy' recently? That was an awfully Valley Girl-esque phrase
I never thought that Smallville was that big, 45 000 is about as big as my town.
Pete’s mum takes on the Ross mantle of ‘bit part character with only one line’.
I thought that the first rule was to ‘Practice Away From the Barn’.
How many sockets do the Kents have in that barn? These things can't all run off their own little engines
John Schneider must’ve felt a right idiot standing there mouthing silently to camera.
Did Lionel really expect Lex to forget the past 23 years as well as the last month?
Why does Lex have tomatoes in a bowl on his coffee table? I think they're meant to be pomegranates. In which case Lex has excellent taste in fruit.
He wasn't worried about Pete before?
*Jonathan* looked everywhere.
You can't tell a guy to get out of your life and then keep accosting him on the street!
Oh Clark. He was doing so well. Maybe he could try a Lana-patch, that might wean him off her. Either that, or they should just shoot whichever producer is obsessed with Kristen Kreuk.
Clark is amazingly able for a guy who’s been blind less than 24 hours
Why is Clark going "Arrrgggh!"? He can't see the light, and the flame wouldn't hurt him
The heat from the torch broke up the scar tissue?
That blurry eyesight looks just like mine before I wrestle my contacts in first thing in the morning.
It’s the glasses! Mmmm... bespectacled!Clark... And he's managed to avoid the horrific pink plastic frames that they usually force you to have when you can't afford real glasses
I want to hear Chloe try and ‘cough suggestively’.
Chloe is being astonishingly cocky to a man who just had his own son’s brain fried.
Oh Chloe, please tell me that you saw that one coming. Of course Lionel was going to try and take the Planet column away.
*Two* eccentric billionaires with an obsessive interest in a Kansas farm boy. I do like her suggestive eyebrow wiggle there.
Chloe’s exit line rocks. This is why I like her.
Chloe’s rational brain kicks in a little too late. That's was quite spectacularly stupid on Chloe's part
Why isn’t that guy guarded by someone? He must have been arrested and kept in prison until his trial, he was caught red handed in an armed robbery attempt! The criminal is standing in the *courthouse* discussing his dastardly deeds and it takes the guy with superhearing to notice what’s wrong?
Judge Ross' son was kidnapped by the defendant and they're still letting her try the case? There's got to be something the matter with that
Why does Clark need to take off his glasses when his ears hurt?
Once again, Clark uses his superpowers to save his own life and let the other person (who has been giving me a Mr. Pink moment all evening and it’s bugging the hell out of me) die horribly.
Pete is going to be making out on this story for years to come
Mr. Sullivan surely has a case for unlawful dismissal. There’s no proof of any of these accusations anywhere. How did Chloe not see that one coming?
Lex is going to be so suspicious of all blind people from now on.
Okay, he protected Clark. This only adds to my theory that he’s faking the memory loss.
Lana's either crying or doing some other activity that requires sharp, gasping intakes of breath, Clark shouldn't jump to conclusions as to which

delete

Chloe gets a name plate and a desk even though she’s only a freelancer?
Should she be allowed to steal that name plate?
Is it possible to be a newspaper editor when you’re only 14?
How can he not know the order came from Lionel?
He's never old enough to be married
It’ll be Lois, right... hey! I’m right! Aside from the foreshadowing, why bother using your cousin's name? There are plenty of fake names out there, why not use one of them? Chloe *is* Lois Lane? Now that would be cool...
Hurrah! for the return of Corporate!Lex.
That's never a tech support room. We have 600 computers and our IT support consists of two men in a little room. They don't even have their own kettle
Gah! Sneak tech support!
“Honestly? Yes. Playstation addicted dorks are kind of my thing...” No stereotypes being reinforced there then. Star Trek t-shirt if they're tech support. Star Wars fans work more in the accounting division...
Has he tried shutting down and restarting? That usually seems to work for me
That disk doesn’t even have a label on it.
They don't have a virus scan on their computers already?
Lex has someone else to do it for him.
Oh god, another “not quite what she seems” female.
That is possibly the world's classiest cordless drill
How late is this school open? Can anyone just hop over those little yellow barriers and get in?
The school’s computers, Chloe, not yours.
For god's sake people, don't run *away* run *aside*
That's the Kent truck
Christ, Chloe really isn’t having a good day.
Wow! That caught me by surprise.
Well, history essays can cause temporary amnesia. I swear that there are days I spent in the library in Aber that I just don’t remember now.
Finally someone notices the shocking lack of care the Kents take in their vehicles
Clark hopes that if he just doesn’t look at Adam he’ll go away.
Lana manages to make the smallest piece of information go on for *years*
I like Clark's bitter "Looks like we've all been busy"
Tech guy just can’t start the day properly if the disks aren’t where they should be.
Is he actually wearing a Star Wars shirt?
What the hell kind of coffee is that?
How can the Kents afford a nice laptop like that for Clark?
The mechanic didn't try to fix much did he?
However good a friend is, you’d still report them if they tried to mow you down with a truck.
Chloe should try the motor-bike riding, party animal lifestyle. I think she'd enjoy it
Ah, that’s Clark’s ‘you have a point’ face.
These people have the funkiest looking e-mail programmes. I'm still struggling along with Outlook Express
What's Adam doing in school?
Poor Pete, he’s even passed over virtually.
That's a deeply annoying ring tone
Oh god, Lana’s mobile phone would be pink.
Is she being brainwashed? Is there much point? Showing us pictures of Lana’s brain is just asking for jokes.
Great! Chloe gets to land one on Lana!
I still maintain that keeping an easily accessible axe in a school is asking for trouble.
No one wears matching underwear to school.
I demand to see Clark and Lex wresting in the shower!
For two people who’ve just finished physical therapy, Lana and Adam sure are agile. You know, this Lana-as-Buffy is beginning to annoy me now. For crying out loud, she had one kick-boxing lesson six months ago from someone who's clearly not a qualified instructor (and who definitely hasn't been keeping up with the classes recently). Even if she hadn't been in physical therapy for the past month she still shouldn't be able to do this
Why do they keep therapeutic gel packs at the Talon? Our first aid box didn't even have a band-aid in it on Wednesday
*Everyone* should think martial arts would come in handy in Smallville High
That's okay as long as they're not connecting through AOL, then your IP changes on an almost daily basis, and prevents you from automatically logging in to all kinds of useful things
If that were true the suicide rate would be much lower than it is.
I *love* that jacket. Lex looks almost as sexy in that as Clark did in the black version, and Clark in the black version nearly stopped me breathing
I‘m sure Lex doesn‘t need reminding of that every time Clark visits.
Why are the cameras at groin level?
He's behind 90% of them though, you can't blame Clark for thinking of him first
Circuitous is a good word.
I like the idea of discounting Lionel not because he wouldn't do it, but that he wouldn't do it like that
Doesn’t Lex ever wonder how Clark gets to Metropolis during school hours?
If they didn’t shut him down for torturing a small child, they’re unlikely to do it now.
Jesus Lana, did the packing give it away?
Why is Adam in Smallville Hospital if he doesn’t live in Smallville?
This from the girl who chose to stay in Smallville when she was offered a move to Metropolis...
You know, I think that “but where are the books?” line was actually a sign of intelligence.
Well done Clark, sneak up on the girl who people are trying to kill...
Mengele had a handbook?
"Megalobraniacs" is a fine word
Wouldn’t you be suspicious of someone just wandering into your office late at night to sharpen pencils? What is this bizarre obsession this show has with pencil sharpeners?
Urgh, death by pencil. Oh no, not with a pencil. That's grim
That’s Perry White’s lucky break right there.
It’s a massive stretch Clark!
Why aren’t they worried that Lex might get a mind-bending e-mail?
I hope Lex has locked the Clark room, otherwise he’ll never get Chloe to move out.
Is there no organisation in the whole of Metropolis that operates out of an old concrete building with hard-wearing carpet floors?
The investigation's not imaginary
I wish they’d stop with that inner ear picture, it looks silly.
Garner set Molly up in a brand new apartment, but didn't buy her her own phone?
Wait to hear the rest of the conversation Clark, then you can avoid the trap that they're probably setting for you
I love the fact that Lana needs to be told that books are kept in libraries.
Yay! You tell her Adam! I fully understand that he's evil, has an ulterior motive, and will probably end up betraying either Lex or Clark in the next few episodes, but you've got to admire Adam's attempt to call Lana out about her raging hypocrisy
If I was Lex I would have got a complex about the psychopathic women before now
Oooh, Jealous!Clark. Look at Lex just sit back and watch him go...
He took it out of your computer when you were making coffee, it wasn't that hard
Lex and Clark are the only two people who do know what that feels like.
That’s Martha’s e-mail address? How random.
Oh Chloe, you fool... Why couldn't you just have stayed in the castle?
Psychopathic! Martha and Jonathan make a good team. Psycho!Martha is very cool.
Jonathan’s ready supply of Kryptonite should worry Clark.
I think Jonathan's still working out a few issues with Clark here. He certainly doesn't seem very interested in killing Chloe
Mmmm... Messy, barn!Clark. He needs to roll around in hay more often
Jonathan moved that hay bale very easily
What a fabulous apartment! You know, I couldn’t imagine a worse place to live than above a coffee shop. Yuck, the place must reek.
Wouldn’t you try and find a different computer supplier?
If he felt that guilty he should have given her Dad his job back, really
Was that fountain there before?
Dr Garner is only an incidental character and he knows Lex is always right behind Clark.
Lex is having a quality lounge there
Go Lex! He even gets dramatic music.
Only Lex could refer to deliberate and malicious brain-destroying shock therapy as "unfortunate"

on to hereafter
