go to episode
- Karaoke is evil. Only horrendous show offs
actually do it, and nobody that does it can sing.
- Lana gave out free sonnets, Martha's having wild
karaoke nights. It says a lot that the middle-aged farmer's wife is more in
touch with how the kids want to spend their evenings
- Lois has a point. It’s not a subtle one, but she has
it. It's always a good idea to check the
microphone is switched off. That's a good rule with karaoke in general,
actually.
- I'm sorry she didn't succeed
- Jason's in a particularly snitty mood tonight
- Have those candles been burning all week?
- Why have a shower curtain on one side of a bath in
the middle of the room? It's not for privacy, since it's damn near
transparent, and it's certainly not going to keep the floor dry
- Death by shower curtain. What a way to go
- Wow. That was a spectacularly fragile door frame
- The Smallville Stupids have attacked Jason. Instead
of unwinding the sheet from Lana, he just turns the water off.
I like the fact that not getting wet seems more
important to Jason than rescuing Lana.
- Is Clark offended that Lois thinks his normal brain
is malfunctioning, or that his other brain is small?
I'm not sure there's much of a size difference
- Chloe seems to have a strange William Shatner-based
metaphor fixation this week
- Jack-O-Lana is a wonderful phrase
- If they think she teleported into Lana's bathroom,
then what good would "tossing her into jail" do?
- I think it's pretty obvious what he was doing in
Vegas with that girl
- When did Jonathan teach that to Clark?
Look for the good, by all means, but don’t ignore the
plainly psychotic.
- I love Lois' pain at them singing group songs.
- Is it really necessary to repeat the meteor freak
exposition?
- "Who else could have gotten in..." Invisible people,
witches, ex-athletes who walk through walls, flying bug people who could fit
through the keyhole... There are quite a lot of options before you get to
teleportation
- It's probably easier to calculate what people don't
have against Lana.
- Now, do you think it could possibly be the random
bit part character we've never seen before and is obviously nuts?
You mean the one who just obviously tried to incriminate
Alicia? Hmm... Let me think...
- If Alicia was in the alley then she wasn't in Lana's
apartment.
- Has he checked the other wrist?
- That's very, very comforting Jason
- I know that Jason said ‘microfiche’, but it sounded
like ‘microfish’, and that just gave me a very funny mental image.
- Does Jason have *dice* in his car?
- Clever boy!
- Jason gets caught accessorising.
- I'm rather fond of Genevieve's use of the word
"blame" in that sentence
- Alicia is clever enough not to leave clues.
- It's *absolutely* about her abilities. What other
proof have they got?
- That's quite a sensible suggestion from Alicia.
- The Sheriff just left the assault scarf with Clark!
Even if it doesn't incriminate Alicia, it's still evidence
- Why is Clark worried about Alicia being in a runaway
car? He knows she could just teleport to safety
- Chloe knows! That's very exciting.
- Somehow I thought Chloe would be less shocked. It's
strange to think that she had *no* idea
- 1988 isn't proper history
- Lana's never eighteen. She can't be
- Look at Lois trying so hard not to accuse the
obvious murderer
- Poor befuddled Chloe... "Have I seen Clark do what?"
- He's looking for evidence in her tack box? I can
just about see how you could leave a scarf at the crime scene, but who on
earth would manage to leave behind their spare girth?
- What's the point in having teleportation skills if
you don’t use them when you're being kidnapped.
- Where do you get chloroform from, anyway?
- Ah ha! A rare Lesser-Spotted Lex. I was starting to
wonder if he was going to show up at all this episode
- Jason's Mum is flirting with Lex, and apparently
trying to set him up with Jason at the same time.
Did she just offer Lex her young son?
- I do love Genevieve, she has such a refreshing take
on Lana. I adore Genevieve more than words can
say
- Yeah, because Lex is known for his commitment to
civic duty.
- Alicia! That was
completely unexpected, but ruined by some truly appalling acting from TW.
- I'm not sure directing Clark towards the boy who
just hanged his girlfriend is a wise move
- I can't deny it'd be an improvement
- And the heat vision did that *how*?
- Jason's got the grand Luthor entrance down perfectly
- Oh, let me think...
- Lex has spent many, many hours appreciating Jason.
- Can we see Lex making it up to him? Please?
- *Tries so hard not to think of Jason taking up
appealing positions* Position *snigger*
- $100,000? Bargain.
*Tries even harder not to think of Jason taking up appealing positions for
money* Nope, it's no use. I'm going to be thinking about that however hard I
try
- Oh, please, please team up.
- I bet all this emotion is completely forgotten next
week.
- That was very sensitive and sensible advice from
Lois.
- Why was Clark's football win on the Wall Of Weird if
Chloe didn't think there was something, well, *weird* about it?
- Why is Alicia being buried in what looks like the
Smallville graveyard when she lived in Grandville?
- That was a lovely scene.
- Is Lois wearing her pyjamas?
- Black-and-tans are the most stereotypical British
drink they can think of?
- General Lane didn't strike me as the kind of person
to let that happen.
- I'm pretty sure he's not sober enough for that kind
of game to be anything but embarrassing
- Lois slept in her drinking pyjamas
- Is it usual for students admitted at such short
notice to get their own room?
- The Metropolis PD have silly hats.
- They're having this discussion again? This is
getting as repetitive as Clark/Lana.
- I bet he's using his abilities a bit
- There are Bulldogs now? How many cheesily named
sporting teams does Metropolis have?
- "You always told me..." Jonathan Kent- bitten in the
ass by his own trite advice
- Well, it's good to know Clark is mourning Alicia.
- Has Clark's immunity to alcohol been mentioned
before?
- The Teflon Tailback is an incredibly comic nickname
- So much of a legend we've never heard of him.
- Should Lois be taking at rip to a different town
whilst (I assume) on bail for an assault charge?
- Being drunk makes you hit less hard
- Go Chloe! I hope she plays with Clark mercilessly
for *weeks*
- Oooh! Jason is very good at dramatically opening
doors. He's got the grand Luthor entrance down
perfectly
- Mmmm...company car...
- That's called camping, Lex. That's what families do
- Oh yes, please give us details.
- I'm absolutely convinced that she shouldn't be
taking a trip to visit the guy she assaulted
- If he's completely paralysed he should be on a
ventilator.
- There's a joke about Clark already getting free
rides from alumni
- They got Clark a band and everything! And they made
up a special chant!
- That's Ferretti! *stupidly excited by Stargate
bit-part character* It's not Ferretti, it's the
Major who was in charge of SG-3 isn't it?
- And a special shiny jersey...
- "But I've already got someone I call when there's
anything I need..."
- That's very obviously the mansion.
- Those girls never baked
- This isn't going to turn out to be a dream sequence
is it?
- I want cake with my name on it
- Won't it be obvious that he was just smothered with
a pillow?
- Lana's getting at Jason again for no good reason.
So Lana objects to Jason working for Lex, but has no objection to renting an
apartment from him. With his money.
- Jason's got such a refreshingly mature attitude to
honesty
- I'm surprised Lana can breathe under all that make
up.
- The one way to find out involves walking up and
insulting him in his own home? Well, that's guaranteed to work
- Thereby proving Lex's point for him.
- Yay Lex! He needs to be pissy more often
- They let Clark attend the memorial service?
- Is that a new suit?
- The University stadium is so big it has hospitality
boxes?
- It's impossible to drink fizzy beer from a can in
one swig without at least some of it going up your nose
- I hadn't considered funding my studies that way.
- You'd be amazed the kind of information those forms
need to know
- The meteor power shows up in his urine sample? And
how on earth did he find that out?
- How many more bad pee jokes can one show make?
- It is much more difficult than that to load a
paralysed person into a car.
- Lying immobile while the room fills up with water
around you can't be "quick"
- Clark was incredibly rude to the phone operator then
- All Clark needed was to say the magic word
- Clark's pee isn't normal?
- Clark's just realising this *now*?
- He's only been attached to it for seven weeks, I'm
sure he'll get over it.
- "Shows integrity... and more importantly that you've
decided to agree with me..."
- Jonathan's obviously just heard about those $100,000
positions Lex is offering. I was just about to
say *exactly* the same thing
- Lex has a special Jason briefcase
- He's absolutely judging Jason's integrity
- I suppose this would explain why Jason was so quick
to reach the possession conclusion in 'Spell'
- I'm glad Jason is evil.
Me too. It gives him depth
- I'm always confused by the idea of Universities
discouraging students from drinking
- Poor Clark. "What just happened?"
- He's not giving up the game because it'd be unfair,
he's giving it up because it'd be too time-consuming and complex to cheat
- *Braces self*
Okay, we can get through this. Just think about Lex and Jason getting chained
up next week, and we can pretend the comedy super-dog episode never happened
- That little bell rather blew their stealth entrance
- What an incredibly well-stocked green-grocers. Mine
doesn't have that much produce on the shelves at the beginning of the day, let
alone the end
- If a dog broke into my safe, I'd just be thinking
'Wow, cool!' There is something incredibly appealing about
criminal dog gangs
- I love the little paw sounds as the dog backs up
to take a run at the door
- She should know not to use her mobile whilst
driving. Again.
- Why is Lois getting mail at Chloe's? She only stayed
there for about three weeks
- She seems more worried than when she found a naked
boy in a field. I'd have a lot of different
emotions on finding a naked Clark in a field, but I'm not sure 'worried' would
be one of them
- That's not Lois' car
- If he's going to stay there much more they need to
invest in a longer couch
- It seems mean to force Clark to spend
the rest of his adolescence sleeping on the sofa.
- Nolan Funk is a truly superb name
- I'm all for blaming the wood. *Bad* wood
- It seems odd that the Kents don't already have a
dog. Or cats. Have you ever been on a farm that didn't have cats?
- Jonathan has absolutely no control over who ends up
staying in his home, does he?
- That's still incredibly guilty.
- Wow that's some quality eyebrow acting from the dog.
- That's clearly not a puppy
- Oh, Chloe. Chloe is just making things so much
worse.
- "We'll see if this'll hold you..." I think it's fair to say it won't
- That's a great sound effect
- It wasn't a big fence
- Lois is allergic to Clark?
- The money-strapped Kents have a photo-quality
printer and a digital camera just incase they have to make lost dog flyers?
- I'm calling Clark Skippy from now on.
- The more pertinent question is why Luthorcorp were
stupid enough to microchip their experimental animals.
- Oh dear, I have a horrible feeling Lex's path
towards evil is being signposted by being mean to a dog.
- If I had trained attack dogs I'd do far more
interesting things than rob security vans.
- I'm sure Lex will have him back by
tonight.
- Oh yes, he's so good a hire, Lex bought him.
- "He's taken a real passion for the project..." I
have so many fringedwellings for this whole scene but they mostly just consist
of incoherent gasps and exclamation marks.
- He's not allowed to leave Smallville, Lex likes him
close at hand
- They're Lex's blindspot too.
- "Co-opt him for your own purposes." You know, I
think Genevieve may be channelling me.
- "Not a very attractive quality in a woman..." Yet it's oddly attractive in a Lex
- Lex really needs to practice his poker face.
- There's no way Lex has chosen to believe that
- It seems strange Lex would store that on the company
website, and not somewhere private
- You can tell Martha's decided that if
it's down to a choice between Lana or the dog to keep Clark company, she'd
rather it was the dog.
- Does Jonathan really think that will help?
- Clark broke the table trying to steal meat? You can just imagine little!Clark jumping on the
table for pork chops.
- I love that Jonathan is having an argument with the
dog in the background. "it's *my* pork chop"
- Ah, it feels comforting to have the phallic
touching of the pool cue back.
- "Why would your Dad be interested..." I was just about to ask that
- "If I understood my father's insanity..." Actually, I think you'd be disturbed.
- There were protests about the mistreatment of the
dogs, so Lex had them destroyed instead? I'm not sure he's fully grasped the
concept of animal welfare
- What part of "Stay back" didn't Martha
understand?
- Jonathan wants so much to lecture that dog about
using it's powers for good, but has to keep reminding himself it's a dog.
- It it had bitten through bone Jonathan wouldn't have
a hand. He wouldn't be walking out of hospital two hours after it had
happened either
- The Smallville police "thought it was a
bear"? Breaking into a convenience store? That tells you all you need to know
about the Smallville police.
- Aw bless, Clark is over-identifying with a dog.
- "He's a good dog, Dad..." There's a line no professional actor should ever
have to deliver
- Can we just call her Isabelle from
now on? Her full name is a little convoluted.
- "Is that what Lex has you doing?" It's really not. Well, he's unlikely to tell you what Lex really has
him doing.
- Jason hasn't given a straight answer either
- Exposition!Jason is far more efficient than anyone
else.
- I thought the tomb rubbing was an art assignment?
Lana definitely tells Jason to meet her there, not the other way around
- Gertrude was *their* ancestor, they can't be hers.
Getting their facts wrong is one thing, getting the basic meaning of words
wrong is completely ridiculous
- No! Not the CGI ear!
- Lois' car doesn't have a numberplate
- Please tell me Clark has to be rescued by
the dog.
- Aren't they wondering why Clark is all wan and
green-looking?
- Clark! Clark in a cage! How did they
squeeze Clark in there?
- Please tell me the dog is going to drag Clark to
safety...
- It is! Wow. This is so cliched it's almost beautiful
- Rescue the other dog too! Oh, god, I'm getting
emotional about a dog we're not even meant to be that invested in. There is no
hope for me now
- They let the other dog escape? I bet he's out there
now running an international crime syndicate with the bear.
With the theoretical bear that doesn't actually exist,
robbing green grocers?
- Oh, don't be such a girl Clark, you've jumped
through bigger special effects than that
- Clark finally has the meeting of mind and soul he's
been looking for.
- Very subtle Clark...
- Ha! Of course the dog was going to growl at
Lex.
- I'd like to see that book.
I've had much stranger last minute requests than emergency genealogy
- If he's keeping it from you, it's because he doesn't want you
to know.
- "Why would anyone move a witch's tomb?" *How* could
anyone move a witch's tomb into a church?
- "Hi honey, I'm home."
- Ooohh... smart casual!Jason
- That hair is too frightening for words. Lionel's wearing a jumper. That's quite easily the
scariest look I've ever seen on him
- Oooh, that was a very appraising look, I'm certain
Lionel is Jason's father you know. He has to be,
doesn't he?
- Intrigue, suspense, casual corporate!Jason. What
more could a girl want?
- She's washing the dog indoors?
- They gave him a cape! He has a cape! Krypto has a cape!
- That's the first good parental thing Jonathan and
Martha have done.
- The dog and Clark are just equally fluffy and toothy
and enthusiastic, and incredibly interested in that frisbee. They're meant to
be
- I wonder how Pete feels to know he's been replaced
by a dog.
- Wow, for a comedy episode about Krypto the Superdog,
that was quite good. I'm ashamed to admit I
really enjoyed that
- Ah, prospectophobia...
- Lois is a valid excuse to defer applying to college?
- He decided his university entirely on the basis of
the football scholarship? He hasn't even looked at other prospectuses before?
- Clark gets an awful lot of registered post for a teenage boy.
And quite late at night too
- Aren't they at all worried that someone might find his
research?
- Clark's been talking to Dr Swann despite the fact that last time we saw
him he was in league with Lionel? Clark didn't
know he was in league with Lionel, did he?
- I've missed the key, I'm glad it's back.
It's the key! Which pretty much guarantees that I'm not
going understand any of this episode. I never do when that key's involved
- The juxtaposition of the phrase "intelligent life in the universe" and the
shot of Clark looking confused is superb.
- I do like Jor-El's special effect. It's much more
dramatic than the ones they usually use on this show
- Wow, an entire season's worth of (nonsensical) exposition
crammed into one paragraph.
- "Overseeing some things." Well, that's the code they use in front of other people.
- There's got to be a time issue here. If Jason's made
it to China then he must have "left" several hours ago at least. Why not ring
Lana then?
- I love Jason trying to muffle the sounds of another
country by putting his hand over the phone
- Even Lana's worried about Lex and Jason spending
time alone. I'm certain Lex won't have let him go alone, at least not without
some kind of secret video equipment.
- Aw, Lex followed him to another continent
- Lex just assumes he has the right to obsessively
stalk anyone he's hired
- Jason is less annoyed by the obsessive stalking than Clark.
- Perhaps a short evening course in Mandarin would be
a better preparation for Shanghai than a summer spent inside a cave wall
- That's Lex's sweater. Is Lionel borrowing all of Lex's clothes?
The fact that the two of them wear the same size
is incredibly unsettling
- I'm fairly sure a city like Shanghai would have
decent phone coverage
- "Looks like they aren't the only ones." Well,
Lionel's had a lot of free time recently
- This is an incredibly intricate storyline they've very obviously put
together in a hurry.
- Isobel hid the document and it ended up under an
icon in Russia?
- Yes she is! Lana overheard them last week!
- She's going on an emergency trip and she's taking the time to
pack? Even in an emergency I think I'd find time
to put some clean underwear in a bag
- Clark only focused one one part of that sentence. "Lex and Jason ran away together?"
- If Lana's taking the jet, how did Lex get
there?
- I think Jason and Lex running from the Chinese
State Police is
now my designated happy place. Lex running always
cheers me up, if only because he runs like even more of a girl than I do
- Had to be a dead end, didn't it...
- That plane has crashed twice now, I'm certain it's not fit to
fly.
- Where did those drawings come from?
- I know about it, and my view of her hasn't changed
- I'd love to have seen Martha and Jonathan's reaction to that note.
- Poor Jonathan. It's only been a
week and already he's the one having to walk the dog
- "Lionel Luthor and you..." I don't think Clark's
very fond of that comparison
- Mmmm... captive!Jason *and* captive!Lex...
- He needs to call Lex "boss" more often
- He knows you'll be good together.
- This is a ploy on Lex's behalf to get information
out of Jason isn't it?
- I like the idea of being able to attract heroes,
like a big magnet
- Oh, this so isn't about Lana.
- I hope Clark isn’t counting on blending in.
- I'm quite impressed they managed to find that street
- A sign of a green rooster, or an actual chicken?
- These treasures weren't hidden by Jor-El then? Who were they hidden by?
I had a very scary discussion this week about
Smallville solving all it's problems by introducing time travel, and this
exposition isn't making me any less worried that it might happen
- Oh! Distressed hugging!
I think Jason clinging on to tortured!Lex might be my
new happy place
- I love double crossing Lex, he always manages to get himself injured in
the process. Lex needs to stop making plans that
involve getting himself beaten up and imprisoned
- Hasn't that guard been in Smallville before?
He was one of Lex's bug-planting people in 'Insurgence'.
Which means he's been indirectly responsible for screwing up Lex's plans twice
- Note the non specific "cultural revolution". That's your hard-working writing team at work there.
- Wouldn't the shrouded superstition of the temple
make an anti-religious Government want to destroy it more?
- It's a jumper! Clark found a jumper!
- How many times can someone fall for the "I'm just
going to stay and look over here" ploy?
- I knew I could rely on the Chinese State Police to use excessive
restraint.
- The interrogator's having to stand on a box so he
can reach to menace Jason!
- You won’t get anything out of Lex, for him electricity is so passé.
- Hurrah! Lana torture! You know, I'm gaining a whole
new respect for repressive government regimes...
- I love Lex and Jason's reaction to Clark's arrival.
- Don't just leave him, tie him up too.
- Where did that robe appear from? If certainly
wouldn't fit any of the guards
- This episode has incredibly weirdly-timed advert
breaks
- They've just got the one generic, oriental, establishing shot then.
- Where did Jason get his clothes from? More importantly, can I congratulate
whoever refused to give Lex's back to him.
- That was almost honesty from Clark there.
- Hang on, the map was a copy of the design on a jumper? *completely
confused*
- It'll be buried where the artist stood
- See
- Shouldn't the tree have grown since that not-a-map
was made?
- She doesn't mean 'spectaculum'. Unless she's trying
to summon a small theatre
- It's a horse? Well, that was a crushing disappointment.
- In which case they were left for him
- Okay, I'm just going to ignore this bit, because it's pointless and KK
still can't act. On the other hand, her stunt
work is surprisingly impressive, or shot well enough that it looks like it is
- Where are Lex and Jason? Shouldn't they be watching this? Are
they still in the next room? They seem
to be taking an awful long time to arrive
- What did *she* do
- Poor Lex, he always arrives after all the important stuff has happened.
- Did the four of them fly back together? That's an
eight hour flight that we really should have seen
- Personal statements are easier if you just get Tobin
to write them for you
- Most of it was extra curricular, the torture was community
service.
- Lex still has the bruises. He usually heals up
faster than that
- Bad!Lionel never really went away.
- Lionel's had Lex pistol-whipped before?
- It was the electricity that has him suspicious.
- "I have to come in, all my stuff's here..."
- You've got to admire someone who can bring up
horrible torture just to win an argument
- I didn’t expect that. Go sneaky!Jason.
- I would probably just have hidden it in my hand
luggage
- "Blink twice for yes." Jason finally gets the
correct level of Lana's communication skills.
- He only gets a serious lecture for going to China?
- It seems so bizarre (and yet so typically Smallville) that they've just
brushed over the "Is Dr Swann evil" question of last season.
- Okay, that was a completely nonsensical and utterly enjoyable episode, all
at the same time.
- I was about to say how bad next week's episode looked, and then Peter
Wingfield appeared in a hat. I dream of scenes
where PW has Lex on his knees. It's incredibly distracting to actually see one
on screen
- Ski-ing action sequences now? This episode is going
to be *so* bad
- Skiing just looks like such a bad idea.
- Honestly, who chases people on skis? Why not just
wait at the bottom of the mountain?
- Mmmm, snowy PW.
- Tobin's phone did that to me last time I stayed over.
Except her ring tone's a lot less interesting There's a special button which lets you switch
your mobile phone off, you know.
- Wouldn't her phone say who was calling?
- Is that eyeliner a fashion choice, or there to combat
snow-blindness?
- Why is Lois sleeping in a mask? I can't imagine
there's much of a light pollution problem at the Kent farm
- Krypto! This is less happiness at the appearance of
the dog, and more utter delight that the writers *remembered something that
happened in a previous episode*
- Clark'll pretty much eat anything
- Bleu, not "blue"
- Jonathan would agree it's better than helping out on
the farm, because he doesn't have to clean the kitchen.
- I don't like Lucy already
- I thought Clark was already sleeping in the barn?
- Jonathan seems very certain about the barn.
Where exactly is everyone going to sleep?
- Jason in skin-tight black is rather attractive
- Someone broke into the apartment, ransacked it and
walked out again without anybody in the Talon noticing?
- Look for the stone people! It took them that long to remember to
search for the stone?
- Lana has jewellery worth stealing?
- Jason's a bit mottled today, maybe the pink lip-gloss
lady is off sick.
- I'd quite like a relationship that involved
searching exotic countries for ancient artifacts
- Has he told Lana about the bleachers?
- Only Lana would fall for that. Jason's such a crappy liar
- Lucy packed dungarees? She owns dungarees? With her
*name* on them?
- Yes. Of course. All small dairy farms in
the 21st century milk by hand into a *bucket*
- "You don’t like your own sister" - Clark
speaks like a true only child. It's more common than you'd think
- Lex and Clark are being very friendly today. What the hell? Are they friends now? They
really don’t know how to write the rift do they?
- It seems slightly odd that Chloe would be such good
friends with Lois, and know next to nothing about Lucy, who is much closer to
her in age.
- Lex is momentarily stunned someone
likes him.
- Can't *play* the piano...
- Whoo hoo! Oooh, angry!Jason.
*Dies happy*
- Lionel and Jason need to be in the same scene *much*
more often
- Where did Lana suddenly appear from?
- Yet again we miss a scene we really should have
seen...
- Well, if you walk in on your boyfriend slamming
Lionel up against a wall, it's either going to make or break your
relationship.
- He's sleeping in the kitchen? Or is that
just a different camera angle?
- I can't imagine the Talon has that much overnight
cash
- And now someone's burgling the Talon without waking
Jason and Lana in the flat. This building has some spectacular soundproofing
- Her father is a general, there's no way she's poor.
- That's ridiculous. Wealthy kids rarely care about
how much money you have
- She borrowed Euros that translate to an exact dollar
amount?
- She needs money, guess where Clark is going now...
- Maybe there's something *Lex* can do.
- He was a bouncer for Kronos. Well, he kind of
was, actually. *perplexed by presence of
Highlander in-joke*
- *Too much to complain about* There's so much wrong
in this scene I don't know where to start...
- Did she have a violin in her luggage when she
arrived?
- "I borrowed some money from them." It's an
inherently short story
- He's just begged for money and now he dares
to criticise the plan?
- Why would a German crime syndicate want to stop Lex
buying a hotel? Why does Lex *want* to buy a hotel?
- Ooh, it's a car! Lex is in a car!
- I don't think the gear shift's back there
- That's just such a Lex way of dealing politely with
the police
- *sigh* Hat, gun, uniform, Lex on his knees. It was
all so good before we got to the accent. I find
this bit is much more exciting if you turn the sound off
- There's an all night flower warehouse in
Smallville?
- Don't leave concussed!Lex on the pavement
- You have to admire any kidnapper who remembers
to steal the car as well.
- They got lost in a pantry?
- Okay, that accent is French now, it was German a
minute ago.
- I knew it! Well, that's a lie, I thought the plot
was just badly written and made no sense, but I knew that the 'loan-shark'
story didn't hold up
- He has a GPS tracking system on his briefcase but
not one on his Mercedes?
- Lex spends an inordinate amount of time
staring at thin air and shouting 'Clark!'
- Just once it'd be nice to see a Smallville character
who doesn't have a wildly traumatic family background.
- It's gun-toting, action!Lex! Oh! Totally unskilled crime fighting!Lex.
That's my favourite kind.
- The lengths Lex will go to to get a car back.
- Clark spends a lot of time tack cleaning for someone
who doesn't own a horse
- They didn't exactly *choose* him. They had
to keep him to prevent being charged with kidnap.
- After Lucy's served several years in prison for
extortion...
- "closer than any blood brother..." What the hell... This is incredibly weird... Am I still watching the
right season? What? Are we in the wrong season? Firstly, we've had
this discussion before, and secondly, it doesn't make any sense given the
current state of play in their relationship. Once again I genuinely think the
writers don't bother reading past scripts.
Unless, since we know how Lex feels about most of his blood family, that's meant to be a rather
tasteless irony.
- This good father/pissy Lex dynamic is very
cool.
- It was very exciting, that's what it was
- Lex didn't send Jason to China, Lionel did
- Lex has a parlour?
- I'll have to go for the second of those two... "Either you are the best con artist, or you are
truly naïve." He's truly naïve, and Lionel should know that by now.
- Lana hid it? That's inexplicably on so many levels,
not least of all how did she hide it *whilst she was out running with Jason*?. Good Lionel; Sneaky Lex; Double Crossing Jason;
Insane Genevieve, Father Christmas: Those I can all believe in. Criminal
mastermind Lana? Not so much.
- All that... She used to you to get your rich friend
who then almost got killed and ripped him off for $50,000 and she's "Not all
that bad"?
- What the hell kind of astrological phenomenon was
that? It's wasn't even that good an effect
- Wow... Two Lexes! Wow *incapable of intelligible
thought*...Wow... That's really it now, I've gone. The world will be divided into
things which happened Before Lexii and After Lexii.
