2.2 Heat Jonathan: "Rule number one. Always practice away from the barn." This episode, especially the first half hour, was just hilarious. Kudos to the writing staff. Desire Atkins, the (literally) hot and sexy new biology teacher, managed to lasso and marry Lex in a New York minute. But the real news was that even without using her magic purple pheromones (that didn't work on Clark, anyway), she turned Clark on, triggering the development of his heat vision. The scenes where he nearly burned down his classroom and the Talon were just so much fun. I like Clark as a character, but let's face it, teenaged boys are usually pretty preoccupied with sex, and Clark has been way too virtuous for way too long. In other news, Lana recorded what turned into a Dear John video for Whitney, who should stay gone, please. Lana said that having a relationship that was based on secrets and lies was doomed to fail. Does this mean Clark should tell her the truth? Well, maybe I'd feel that way if I thought Clark belonged with Lana. Which I don't. Bits and pieces: -- Was this supposed to take place three months after "Vortex?" Was "Vortex" supposed to be the first season finale? -- Clark experimented with his heat vision by lighting candles. Not coincidentally, they were all red, white, and blue. -- Chloe mentioned a hot young intern from Metropolis High. -- Loved the antiquated sex ed film and everyone's uncomfortable reaction. We've all been through that one. -- If Desiree's pheromones were caused by the meteor shower, how come they were purple instead of green? -- Desiree blew up her car and framed Clark for it: one point. -- Clark: "So I'm maturing into a firestarter?" -- Jonathan: "Five scarecrows, two water barrels, and our mailbox later..." Clark: "Dad, you were right. Once I understood what triggered the heat, I was able to control it without thinking about... sex." This was probably a three star episode, but I'm tempted to give it four just for entertainment value. What fun, Billie View all comments or post a comment. |
