2.1 Vortex Nixon: "Clark doesn't belong to you. He belongs to the world." It's a twister! It's a twister! Jonathan and Nixon trapped in the basement under the trailer was the most interesting part of this one. It was fun, Jonathan getting to talk to someone truthfully about Clark's abilities. Nixon actually seemed to be something of a good guy at one point, but no. As evil and vicious as Nixon was, he did have a point or two. Jonathan is indeed hiding the most amazing being on earth on a farm in Kansas. I was surprised that Lex killed Nixon. Okay, certainly, he was saving Jonathan's life, but I still didn't expect it. What was Lex feeling as he stood over Nixon's body? He had the oddest expression on his face. It was nice that Jonathan unbent enough to thank Lex for saving his life, but what choice did he have? Lex saved Lionel's life, too. Knock me over with a feather. But in a sense, it was too late, because Lionel knew that Lex was tempted to let him die. And Lionel is now blind. I don't see them going on father-son outings together any time soon. Poor Chloe decided to test Clark's devotion way too soon by telling him they should just be friends and hoping he would object. Chloe, you should have waited until you'd had a couple of hot dates and possibly even some wrestling at the drive-in first. You'll never get him back now. Bits and pieces: -- Eric Johnson (Whitney) is now out of the cast. That's good. John Glover (Lionel) is now in. That's even better. -- Clark told Jonathan that he thought that he was flying while he was in the tornado. Suitably ambiguous. Was Clark flying or not? Pretty awesome special effects, either way. -- We learned that Lana always thought she would die young. Hyperbole, or are the writers seeding the idea that they plan to kill her off at some future point? -- The oil dripping on Lex's head from Nixon's car in the tree looked like blood. I thought at first that that was how Nixon would die: flattened by his own car. -- The Talon made a particularly garish "Tornado Relief Center." The Talon looks different. They changed the set. -- In the initial hospital scenes, Lionel was half-naked. The man has quite a chest on him. -- With a house landing on Jonathan and Nixon, and Lana up in a twister, it was unsurprising that there were about three hundred "Wizard of Oz" references. -- The space ship is now out in someone's field, and the octagonal key is missing. -- Clark called Martha "Super mom." Quotes: Lex: "Forgiveness is not in his emotional lexicon." Lexicon. Ha ha. Nixon: "You have the most amazing being on Earth doing chores on your farm." Three and a half stars, Billie |
