1.15 Nicodemus
Chloe: "What do you think made Lana Lang go soft core?"
Less "Little Shop of Horrors," and more the spore episode from the original "Star Trek".
Fun was definitely had, as our more straight-laced characters went all sexy and violent. How can you lose with Jonathan telling Lex off and belching in his face? (Jonathan shooting Clark in the chest would have been a lot less funny if Clark weren't Clark, though.) Lana stripping down to red undies and trying to seduce Clark was also fun; I think this was the first time I actually liked Lana. Her coming on to Lex was also pretty interesting.
Nice fake-out at the end when we thought Clark was infected, too. But wasn't Clark acting a little more super than he should have in front of Lex? As usual, Lex was both good and bad. Lex may have lied to Clark about Dr. Hamilton and the flower, but he also refused to take advantage of Lana. And he did make Hamilton find the cure. I do love Lex. Would have been interesting if he'd gotten hit with the spores too, wouldn't it?
Bits and pieces:
-- Chloe was more Lois Lane than usual.
-- We got a little more character development for Pete. He loves Chloe and hates Lex.
-- Metropolis is visible from the top of the windmill tower. I guess it's not that far from Smallville, then. I always thought Smallville was in the back of beyond.
-- Chloe told Lana to watch for anything strange. A sunflower spit in Lana's face, and she didn't think that was strange?
-- Wrecked truck in the teaser; that's one point.
-- Chloe: "In 1871, the whole settlement went postal before they even had a post office." Pete: "Nice to know Smallville was still whack even before the meteors got here." What is Smallville? A center of mystical convergence? I thought the other Hellmouth was in Cleveland.
-- Lex: "What do they feed you on that farm?"
Three stars,
Billie
