Clark in uniform. Yes, please.
Clark layering with tight gray T. Mmmm.....
Clark realizing that he wants and can have love in his life and still work to save the world. *draws hearts*
Clark and Lana kissing, again. I won't even pretend, of course I loved it. But it's a different feeling watching it knowing what we know. And then there's the echo of Clark's earlier conversation with Chloe when he said something to the effect of - "You can't just stop loving someone..." It's easy to forget that Clark and Lana hadn't broken up when she departed. There were no teary, heartbroken fights, there was just him kneeling by her and crying for her to recover. And then she was gone. He may be the man of steel, but his heart is anything but.
I give Clark as much leeway as he needs for his heart to find its way to Lois because I believe in him and I see that his destiny doesn't allow him a usual pattern in life. His capacity and desire for love as a person in his unique situation were the real point that was presented. His epiphany about having love in his life brought him straight back to what has always been his touchstone for those kinds of feelings - Lana.
It won't work out, with her, of course. But that doesn't mean there isn't love there, it's just not the eventual love that he's destined for in his life as Superman. In a way, I found the kiss bittersweet knowing that it's only setting them up to pull the rug out, hard, and for the last time. But I'm shallow enough to have still loved it. That's the chemistry that burns up the screen for me, so I'll take it, despite anything and everything else that is really coloring it.
As far as the rest of the episode - I was a bit disappointed with the little we saw of J'onn J'onz. But with Ollie, Lana and Tess, there realy wasn't a lot of time to give to another secondary character, I guess.
I enjoy Ollie. Even when he's busting Clark's balls about something, I love that Clark has a hot male friend, especially one who knows his secret. The Afterschool Special message of "Buddies are Good" was delivered with a anvil that was clunky even for SV standards, but silly me, I still liked seeing the boyz bond.
Clark's saying "Lois is.... Lois", cracked me up. This is why he loves her - she's Lois, and not like anyone else he's ever encountered. And didn't Tom deliver that beautifully?
I also dug the Chun-Li Lana - Tess fight. But I was especially impressed that the writers actually established early in the episode that both women were well-versed in that type of hand-to-hand fighting. Also, Cassidy Freeman - kudos on a job well done in the shot of Tess realizing the enormity of what Lex had been doing to her. I was impressed.
The good cop, Danny Turpin, was wearing Clark colors, but in muted tones in his early scene at his home. And Lana donned her Luthorian purple for her initial visit with Tess. Loved that. Now, why was Chloe also all purpled out?
Can I get a WOOT!! for the token fishnet-stockinged and tall-booted sole Metropolis hooker? You work that corner, girlfriend!
Off to watch Supernatural now...
. The older she get's the hotter she becomes. Oh the torture Clark must being going through having to chose between Erica Durance and Kristen Kreuk
.Lol. I'd relieve him of that burden if he so wished
.
