1.19 Crush Chloe: "Most men are from Mars, Clark. But you're from some distant galaxy I've never even heard of." Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Clark is from Krypton. Tired of playing second fiddle to Lana, Chloe redirected her romantic attention toward an old friend named Justin, an artist with injured hands. Because this is Smallville, Justin turned out to be a meteor freak, wouldn't you know it. Funny how Clark was all dog in the manger. He took Chloe's attention for granted until it was gone, and suddenly he missed it. Clark may be an alien, but he's still such a guy. It's really too bad that Justin turned out to have evil tendencies and telekinesis, because he was kind of cool. Chloe needs someone who likes her for herself. Maybe making Clark jealous did the trick, because now Clark appears to be interested in Chloe after all. And it's making Lana jealous. It's, like, domino effect jealousy. We had another interesting Lex subplot, as Lex showed his softer side as he reconciled with the nanny he thought had betrayed him. That was Lionel's fault, too. And we saw Lillian's gravestone: "Lillian Luthor. Loving wife and mother. 1951-1993." Bits and pieces: -- So much for Principal Kwan. At least his death wasn't as gruesome as the first two principals on "Buffy". -- Wasn't it just a bit improbable that the cops didn't ask Justin for a license plate number when his original accident occurred? -- I particularly liked the lurid cartoons Justin made of his crimes. Sort of a comic book within a comic book. -- Justin survived, and is in a mental hospital. Yet another person who knows about Clark's powers. -- There was much tossing across rooms. Justin tossed Chloe and Clark, and Clark tossed Justin. With Kwan's car accident, that makes four points. -- Time to line up summer jobs. Chloe wants to intern at the Daily Planet. Of course she does. -- Whitney returned after a long absence. And his father finally died. Quotes: Danny Kwan: "I see you in a uniform, flying. Have you ever considered a career in the Air Force?" Chloe: "What's with you, Clark? Do you have some sort of savior complex? If I'm in trouble, you'll rescue me, but other than that, you're emotionally unavailable." Clark: "I've got these two amazing friends who both happen to be girls." Lex: "For arguments' sake, let's call them Lana and Chloe." Three stars. Very good, Billie |
