Last night's episode was a notch above last week's. I really liked the parallel story with Lex and Clark, with both of them in similar situations, and each almost going over the edge to protect the girl they care about. Clark does it out of defense and protection; Lex's m.o. is nothing more than revenge, killing the person as the only solution.

Thought the new sheriff was meant to be unlikeable. Clark pretty much could save the day without that much notice, but now he has someone keeping a watchful eye on him. The "he likes to help people" explaination from the Kents obviously didn't make any impression on her.

I think the season finale will probably deal with Martha Kent's pregnancy and something with Helen, since these were some of the key story additions to this season. Helen's an interesting character. Although Lex has softened up a little by having the person that he thinks is the love of his life, it hasn't taken away his evil streak. And it seems that he will eventually lose her--it's going to be one of several events that make him the sinister person that we all know.

Lana can use me as a punching bag the next time she needs to do warm-ups. She looked really hot last night while she was...hot.

The song was by the Transplants.. The title is Diamonds and ... something.. sorry.

I thought the new sherrif was interesting for reasons stated above, but I hope they don't over-use the character.

Overall, a very good episode. I'm glad the writers are staying away from the kryptonite-afflicted citizens plotlines.

I thought it was a good episode - except the last 5 min. or so - things were a little too conveniently tied up - Lana magically empowers herself, Helen is fit as a fiddle and everything is tied up with a marriage proposal and a kiss.

Maybe they will deal with what Lana saw Clark do later, who knows?

Next week

looks better

Couldn't Clark have shown up AFTER the guys ripped Lana's clothes off?

Considering what a blind eye EVERYBODY in Smallville turns when it comes to Clark being in all these places where strange things happen, along comes a woman who actually SEES him do something out of the ordinary and is on to him from the moment. And she wastes NO time. She adds up all the things about him rather quickly and knows there is more to him than meets the eye, and confronts him about it. Nobody in Smallville has had the balls to do that yet. I say all the power to the Sheriff, she can go with her bad self, and Clark having a home town nemesis is not a bad plot idea in the slightest.
The character is a good idea. I just think the actress who plays her is a horrible actress.

Is it me, or is this some foreshadowing of something really bad happening to Helen in the future that pushes Lex over the edge? With quite possibly Clark having to do something with it?
Or maybe Superman will have something to do with it.

Or maybe some bad guy and Lex's heart will forever turn to the dark side.

I agree, my girlfriend joked that it was Frau from Austin Powers.

Agreed. Somehow Lex has become my favorite character.

Anybody know who did the remake version?

Sounded like the same version as my Scream soundtrack (by Gus), but I'm at work, so I can't check.
