2.21 Accelerate
Clark: "I'm trying to help Lana."
Chloe: "Of course you are. What are you saving her from today?"
A bit different, yes. But when you come right down to it, this was yet another episode about a meteor freak obsessed with Lana Lang. Which gave Clark another chance to be all manly and protective. And Clark was finally rewarded; Lana appears to want a relationship now.
The little homicidal K-clone Emily kept popping up all over the place, and it was done so well that it was actually pretty creepy. I rarely feel for Lana, but I did here. Kristin Kreuk looked convincingly terrified and upset. Lana has lost her parents and her boyfriend, and now we learn she lost her best friend when she was little. It's amazing she's walking around at all.
Lex's wedding is only three weeks away, so it must be scheduled for the season finale. What I liked most about this episode was Lionel making all those father-son reconciliation noises, and Lex having none of it. Does Lionel really want to make up with Lex? Could it possibly be? Lionel is certainly still up to something, since the Miracle Grow clones were his fault. Lionel also just took control of the caves, too.
We can make an obvious comparison here between Emily and Lex. Both owned and manipulated by Lionel. What will Lionel do with Emily? Will we ever know?
Bits and pieces:
-- The Talon had a "late night double feature picture show." :)
-- Martha's pregnancy is showing. They bought a crib.
-- Lana observed that Clark idolizes her, and doesn't see her as she really is. She's absolutely right.
-- I loved the stopped raindrops effect.
-- Lex: "You offered the woman I love a hundred thousand dollars to leave me." Lionel: "I did you a favor, Lex. That was the ultimate test of loyalty, and she passed with flying colors. You should be thanking me." Talk about spin. I love Lionel.
Three stars,
Billie
