Last night's episode was a tear-jerker.

It's interesting to see what they're doing with the Lex/Lana relationship and the Lionel/Martha relationship.

In the comics, depending on who's writing it, sometimes the motivation for Lex to hate Superman is that he isn't human, yet he's admired by the world and accepted--and Lex isn't. In fact, Lex is almost universally hated and feared rather than loved and respected. So, I think they're setting up some seeds for this kind of dynamic--where Lex as he shows his most vulnerable or "human" side is pushed away by Lana who pines for Clark who isn't human at all.

Interesting take on the Lex/Lana/Clark triangle.

I find it interesting that Lex says he's reached out to Clark, but they don't show that actually happening.

It's crazy that Chloe who is has the biggest mouth in the world is keeping such a secret.

I thought last night's show was a precursor to him possibly getting a little more involved in crime fighting. Chloe questioning him about working as a reporter by day and crime fighter at night. His pursuit for justice (albeit related more to his guilt about the watch).

Good episode.

It was a lot more sad than the episode when his dad actually died. Clark was actually breaking down as the credits rolled.

Will Martha become the Senator?

VERY INTERESTING......


I basically stopped reading this thread after this post. I basically ONLY watch TV when I buy it on DVD, so it will be until FREAKIN SEPTEMBER that I get to watch Season 5. It is ok though, I still have 24:S4, Buffy Chosen Collection and Veronica Mars to keep me happy while I am playing with my DS and playing poker online.

Anybody watch the Cyborg episode?

That comment by Lionel has me wondering what's up.

"Your secret is safe with me, Kal-El"

That was a good epsiode.

They need to have Clark tell Lana his secret though and move on. It's getting pretty old. I don't watch the show for their troubled relationship.

I am tired of all the Lana stuff too.

Chandler Mike

I think they broke up.

Great episode...I knew Lionel knew something about Clark...

What do you think about his Kal-El comment?

Or better yet, was he the one blackmailing Martha?

Lex really showed his bad seed when he spoke to Cyborg. Slowly but surely Clark is getting more and more reckless with his vigor in being a hero.

Wasnt Jar-El(sp?) speaking through Lionel at the fortress of solitude in one episode or something like that.

I dont think it is to far off to believe that Lionel has known about Clark since that episode, and that he is protecting him in some way as he may still have those fatherly type feelings for him lingering since Jar-el left his body or spirit or what ever. Dont think he has any malice what so ever towards Clark. In fact I think at one point Lionel will pick Clark over his own son at one point being apart of the Clark/Lex fued later on, that and Lana.

Just watched the Cyborg episode. as a comic book fan boy, it's great to see them introducing established characters.

Anybody watching recently?

The "Saw" ripoff episode was weak. But the last 15 minutes were awesome.

Last night's episode with the chameleon guy was pretty good. Clark finally seen Lois naked.

Plus twice now Clark saved Lana and Lex got the credit.

Next week's episode looks pretty good too.

Pariah

I've missed most of this season, so rather than try to catch the occasional episode, I'm going to wait until it comes out on DVD.

Thats me too. I dont even like clicking on the thread, as I am afraid of a spoiler. We will have to wait until September. Unfortunately I paid near full price ($30) for it in Sept, and near X-mas time, it was selling near $14.99) I love the show enough to buy it early though.

joeshmo

That isnt the first time.

He saw here naked last year while she was staying at the Kents, in the same sort of shower scene.

**************SPOILERS****************

Another good season finale from the writers of Smallville...

I got chills with the World growing dark, Lex looking like Neo from the Matrix and the Superman-ish music at the end with Clark stuck in the prism jail thing...

Awesome...

Thanks
