8.14 Requiem Oliver: "Well, if it isn't Metropolis' newest power couple." Truck go boom. Is Lex dead? Come on. Do they really think we'll believe that Lex is dead? How stupid do the writers think we are? Stupid enough to endure yet another episode centered around Lana. When it started with Clark and Lana in bed having super sex again, I swear I almost turned it off. I was that close. But then we learned that her supersuit thingy whatever absorbs K, and I immediately thought, please let Lana fall into a vat of liquid Kryptonite so Clark will have to stay away from her forever. And then it actually happened. I couldn't believe it. It was like wish fulfillment. That final scene (yes, another scene of romantic angst in the barn with a pop ballad in the background, you knew it had to happen) was probably supposed to upset the audience. I was thrilled. And at least this episode didn't turn me off as much as the last few. It was darker and a bit deeper, although on Smallville, that's a relative term. Toy guy was moderately scary, Oliver took over LuthorCorp, and Tess didn't show up at all. And if we finally got rid of Lana Lang, it was the bestest episode ever. Lana is the ultimate meteor freak now. I wonder if it will turn her evil? One last thing. Why didn't Lana turn green? I would have loved it if Lana had turned green before leaving Clark forever. Nice symbolism, too. Bits and pieces: -- Glimpses of Lex. We even heard his "voice." According to the credits, neither one was Michael Rosenbaum. -- Why didn't the hospital give Oliver a shirt? He's a billionaire; I think he can afford one. (Yes, I know why they didn't give him a shirt. I'm being sarcastic.) -- This week's Most Obvious Symbolism was Lana's K necklace from season one, the object that originally kept Clark and Lana apart. -- Chloe had to choose between Oliver and Clark, and she chose Clark. Of course she did. -- Tess wasn't in this episode. I didn't miss her. I did miss Lois, though, who has been absent forever. And what about Jimmy? Wasn't he at the point of death or something?
