Looking forward to this.

The actress who plays Jayna, Allison Scagliotti, is also on the SyFy show Warehouse 13. I believe she is also a DJ.

Wow! This episode didn't suck! They really are on a roll.
The opening daydream was great. The closing with the flash was great, it was exactly what some fans wanted to happen right after the first kiss. Wonder Twins were ok, but the water and fog bits were good.

I liked the episode, but I turn into a dorky fanboy whenever Clark and Lois are together on screen.
I almost teared up when Lois revealed that she knew Clark was the "blur" but then I kept thinking she was going to fall, Clark would save her, she'd barely bang her head on the ground and forget the events of the last 14 minutes.

Wonder Twins!
Had to figure out where I knew Dylan Neal from: Kerr Smith's boyfriend in Dawson's Creek
Really good episode. Emotional charge between Lois and Clark, and very intrigued by the new future visions.

I was trying to place that face too. Pacey's brother. I have really enjoyed the season thus far. Next week looks really good, as maybe we find out what happens in the future.

It took me most of the episode to figure out that the Boy Wonder Twin was played by that little blonde kid on 7th Heaven.
Enjoyable episode. I am liking this season.

Loved the episode. The glasses, Lois and Clark continuing to bond, Lois struggling with her feelings for Clark/The Blur. I thought Zan and Jayna were cool, but didn't really add anything to the plot until the end. Loved the Gleek cell phone.
I thought the final scene with Lois hanging from the top of the Daily Planet had some small similarities to the helicopter rescue scene from Superman 1
The writers are really on a roll creativelly this season.

Loving this season, best season of Smallville ever. What I really think is Smallville is over, Metropolis is what we are really watching.
Did they fire the writers from last year and hire a new team that know what they are doing?
This could have been the 1st movie of a 2 parter for the next Superman movies in the theater.

Re: Smallville -- "Idol" -- 11/13/2009
This was another fantastic episode!
When Clark is up there on that perch with his coat flapping I was so hoping they could turn that into the tights and red cape.
Anyway, the Wonder Twins was rather meh, but using them as aninterjection of "something bigger" and the street vendor mug towards the end was great. The Blur Blog.
Despite their introduction I felt this was really another Lois and Clark centric episode. Seeing Lois struggle at the therapist, hanging from the pole and in the phone booth I felt so bad for her. She knew and got why Clark couldn't save her. I think it really brave of her and even more sad when she said he could tell her even after everything she observed. Then you get the punch in the gut when the "Blur" called on the phone with Clark standing there.
It's also amazing how the writers can take a whimsical, cute interaction between the two in the copy room, turn it into sexy and then turn it into tragedy with the seizure.
Talk about some creepy visions. Keeps getting worse and worse! Was that Zod camp at the barn? Not sure what it really was actually.
Like I said earlier I felt bad for Lois as they avoided her finding out the truth. I'm wondering if she'll ever find out during our time with Smallville. Will she uncover the truth? Will Clark tell her? We've been teased twice now. The first was the timeline issue version with the reporter that had everything go wrong and Clark had to change history. Now this. However, I believe Lois has grown greatly since then so who knows.
Anyway, next week looks AMAZING. If it ends well it will be torture to wait 8 weeks until another new episode.

"You tell me the color of your underwear every day--what else is there to know?"
"It's the Blur's sidekick!"
I liked the over-the-phone reveal

Purely awesome episode. Best season of Smallville might be right, IMO.
As pointed out, the Wonder Twins were pretty useless but worked okay in the end. I thought for sure they "would know when to step up" and would come forward and reveal that they were Blur copycats at the press conference.
All the Lois & Clark bits were amazing. Even Lois and the shrink scenes were great. I loved the Superman helicopter scene parallel. I also appreciate them having Lois bring up contacts when Clark revealed the nerd glasses.
However I didn't really dig the Dark Knight ripoff(s) about the Blur unmasking himself to "Harvey Dent." I think they could have played that different. I also wasn't a fan of Chloe tapping into all cell phone signals ala Fox in the Dark Knight either. Seemed a little much for her character.
