4.9 Bound Lionel: "I want to be your father, Lex. If you'll let me." Lex: "You've got your health, Dad. Don't expect another miracle." Lex's promiscuous habits and buying off pretty girls with diamond earrings came back on him in a great big way. This was an interesting, darker side to Lex that we hadn't seen before now. I keep forgetting that Lex is destined for serious darkness simply because I like him so damned much. It really does appear that exposure to Clark's essense has irrevocably changed Lionel for the better. Lionel not only believes he belongs in jail, he also wants to save Lex from the darkness that Lionel himself just escaped. I like this. I really do. Reformed bad guys are the best. It's always fun to see Clark and Chloe investigating together. And I think my favorite scene was Clark and Chloe re-enacting Lex's Zalman King sex scene in the elevator. Chloe was loving it. Clark was awkward at first, but I could swear he was about to kiss her for real. Lana and her tiresome tattoo are still unresolved plot lines, unfortunately, and somehow it involves Jason's mumsy. Genevieve Teague exuded menace while making guest shots in Lana's seventeenth century dreams. Jane Seymour is usually terrific, but really. Couldn't they just resolve this plot line and move on? Bits and pieces: -- Exceptionally hot and sexy opening scene, with Lex and the mystery woman in red. -- Lex lied about his sex life. Wow, that's something people never do. That was my sarcastic voice. -- I have a confession to make. Even though it wasn't my kind of show, I watched every single episode of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," and I adored Jane Seymour in a big way. Quotes: Clark: "I thought Lex's attorneys would have this under lock and key." Chloe: "Yeah, well, she may know people at the top, but I know people at the bottom. And they work for tips." Chloe: "Come on, big boy, it's for the cause of truth and justice. Now push me up against the wall." Lex: "You know, there was a moment the other night when that fire she set was coming towards me, I thought, 'Good. Save the world a lot of grief.'" Three stars, Billie |
