3.21 Forsaken Lionel: "She's not a child. She's a failed experiment and a colossal liability." And here we go with a second recycled plot in a row, with the emphasis on two of my least favorite things: (1) meteor freaks obsessed with Lana Lang, and (2) Clark/Lana relationship angst. Emily Dinsmore was back, grown-up, walking through walls, and still homicidal. And ready to single-white-female Lana in a big way. I think they deliberately made her up to look like the girl in "The Ring." The actress was very good, and the big glass room she had Lana in was visually striking. And good for Lana, for fighting back so hard. Pete kept Clark's secret, even when it could have been his life. Now, that's a friend. (And Lex saved Pete's life. How about that?) This particular subplot was intended to show us that Clark *can't* tell Lana because he'd be putting her in danger. Except she seems to be in danger all the time. If he told her, then she could maybe carry a beeper or something. But forget that, because I now officially want Lana to be with Lex. And weren't they pretty cosy in front of the fire with the first class plane tickets and all? Lex finally brought down his father, with Chloe's help. Chloe was ready to testify against Lionel, and as Lex said, that's not a safe place to be. Even though Lionel was starting to look ill, he was still pretty scary. Bits and pieces: -- Since the guy is now dead, I'm guessing the Talon isn't going to become "Burrito Ole." -- Lionel's parents had names starting with L, of course. Laughlin and Liza. -- Pete called Lex "Uncle Fester." :) -- Emily tossed Lana across a room, one point. Clark broke the glass, another point. -- Pete: "I'm going to say this one, and then it falls into the none of my business category. The whole yo-yo thing with you and Lana: it's gotta stop." And so say all of us. Well, at the very least, me. Two stars, Billie |
