Oliver has a lot to do with that wounded psyche...

So I'm willing to bet that it was around the time that Ollie cheated on her that Lex found her (sad, broken, depressed) and began her turn to the dark side...

 

[Brainiac 8]

Well let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed this episode!

It was enjoyable/fun to watch. As I said, anvils will be dropping at they did. I finally actually believe that Chloe might actually love Jimmy more than she does Clark. Unless is was Brainiac who can control a lie detector. Lois is a funny drunk.

Oh and whoever says Clark and Lois have no chemistry together, well to put it nicely as I can, need to shut the ***** up!

Somehow I think Ollie has the crystal. I mean, Clark does get it back, and he has been spending some time with Tess. I dunno, call it a hunch....

Very interesting theory...my only problem with it is that would Oliver ever see her as ready to give her Clark's secret? I'm not thinking so.

Wow IGN actually ranked this episode pretty low, giving it a 4.8 out of 10.

http://tv.ign.com/articles/921/921001p1.html

maybe i m wrong but somehow i get the idea that whole pop media is against idea of superman

receantly there are lots of anti-superman brigade going on 1st how batman is cool superhero and superman's era is gone

then whole why superman way past its prime news

maybe people consider having superheroes as dark like batman or arrogant like ironaman cool thing or "it" thing for superhero franchise

I dunno, I don't think it's oliver. He has never encountered our special crystals if I remember correctly. Hate to say it, but I think it's Lana, of all the characters, her's is the most closely tied to it, behind those of kryptonian origin

Well, Lex might be the one who took the crystal from Tess. Why can't Ollie be the one who take it from Lex? I mean Lex lost these type of stuff all the time. Ollie will use some line like "One of my people found/stole this" while showing it to Clark.

We know Clark is going to get the crystal back, just don't know from where.

 

[LostSon88]

What if its Kara?

 

[Brainiac 8]

Once again, I'm not sure Lana would ever divulge that. Wouldn't her E-Mail be more along the lines of:

"I haz yur krystal...Yoink!"

and not so much "You're not ready yet."

Oh, and yes, I sickingly find lolcats funny. go fig.

Lana is not coming back before Clark gets the fortress running again, so thats why I rule her out. Unless Clark one day, just happens to hears something, speeds to the Arctic, and BAM he sees the fortress.

 

[Darknightnomis]

Another great epoisode in what may end up being their best season (if Lex return that is).

And let me tell you why...LOIS AND CLARK!

Yep, because the show is now focusing on the blossoming (and very entertaining) romance between Lois and Clark and not on the depressing on-and-of, dsetiny to failed romance of Clark and Lana, it feels as if it got a new lease on life.

Clark and Lois have more chemistry in a single episode than Clark and Lana had for six seasons.

ah, haven't really been into the spoilers this year. I just figured since she's the only one who's brain was taken over when the crystal was first found and put together.

my fall back has always been Ma Kent... umpossible but perhaps. She's the only powerful person left in Clark's life who can pull strings to keep him secret. Made even more significant by the fact that her current off screen role as senator was 'given' to her by Lionel/Jor'el.

To tell the story of Superman before Superman, you have to have a lot of Clark and Lana. One can say, Clark realized his mistakes from Lana, so he can move on with another woman(Lois), and not make those mistakes. Similar to what Chloe said about Clark, finding the perfect man in Jimmy. You don't need six seasons of Clark and Lana, yes I agree, maybe have some other Clark love interest for a season, but Clana started out interesting.

Well sorry if I spoiled that to you.

Your right about Ma Kent, but it just seems Smallville just dropped her from the storyline. When Ollie wasn't around, they mentioned him like every other episode. There doing that with Lex, a lot this season, even some of Lionel.

I agree, Clana was definitely needed and it was handled very well for the first 2 seasons. But from midway thru season 3 til the end of season 7 it was just clear that it was being dragged on too long and wasn't really handled properly.

Exactly.

 

[Captivated]

OMG... Seriously?! That has to be one of the most RIDICULOUS things I've ever read here... and there have been PLENTY of absurdities to choose from!

 

[Brainiac 8]

It's ok, I don't agree with that statement either. Welling and Kreuk had plenty of chemistry throughout the show. My wife was extremely vested in their relationship until I ruined it for her and told her that nothing comes of it.

 

[Sawyer]

Wow, a great revelation from Lois, only to be erased by her saying that she managed to trick the lie detector. Bulls***! Why do I keep watching this show?
Oh, wait, now I remember... Doomsday.

 

[Migu-EL]

Hulk is in next weeks episode!

I hope it's Eric Bana.

LOL...t: They didn't have a [BLACKOUT]Doomsday[/BLACKOUT] smilie.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Hulk would be an awesome cameo. We all talk about Batman and Wonderwoman, but we never talk about the possibility of Hulk or DarkClaw showing up. Spread the word!

Um...it was pretty obvious that she was lying about tricking the lie detector. She was telling the truth when she said she loved Clark.

It'd be kinda lame for both Lois and Clark to put all their cards on the table this early in the season. Shoot it took two seasons before we finally got Clark and Lana together.

Lois loves Clark she's just not willing to come to terms with it.

...yet.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Exactly, and they'll still be playing with this plot, they are not just going to drop it.

Spoiler

In fact spoilers point to the fact that they get much closer, and Lana coming back gets Lois a little on the riled side.

Showing their hand five episodes into the season would be stupid.

well that means there's only 15 left

Which is plenty of time to develop their love for one another.

Yep...that's going to be fun to see--a jealous Lois.

 

[Migu-EL]

17 if they go the usual route of 22 episodes in a season.
