Well, this episodes sucks. Chloe is annying as shit and it seems like just another take on the freak of the week angle.

They could progress the show's storyline and let her die.

Yep, major suckage. This storyline would have been awkward on it's own, but add in the acting... Whoever directed this needs to go back to film school. I'm not sure there is a suitable word that describes how ridiculous the people that are "telling their secrets" look when they spill the beans. Utterly stupid plot, horrible acting.

At least Angel looks good...

They should have left this ep on the cutting room floor.

Nice cleavage.

Not a very good episode. The son of the teacher was down right awful. Loved the bra shot of Chole though. Only saving grace of the episode.

Compared to last week's ep, this was Emmy-worthy.

I was hoping that they were gonna kill Chloe, but, alas, they didn't..

I agree that this was more of a season one plot, but think the main focus was to show how much Chloe is playing with fire -- going to extreme measures and what not, without thinking about the consequences. Such as getting Lionel's confession and then playing it back to him. (Not a very smart move -- she should have known by now how much power Lionel has in taking care of business!)

This episode also clearly foreshadows her fate even moreso than in other episodes at the end when she admits to Clark that she might not be around to say "I'm sorry" the next time she goes through one of journalistic scavanger hunts.

It was a little too inconvenient that the ex-employee from Lexcorp stil had the only known serum and that Chloe and the student were knocked out when Clark came in to do some Superman-ish stuff, but what the hey.

Better than last week's, but still pretty weak. They need to get with it.

:drool: Chloe

Hate to sound shallow, but Chloe's cleavage was the only good part of the show.

I was throwing my imaginary TV brick at the TV because Chloe finally realizes that she's got the power, and she doesn't capitalize on it when Lionel shows up to a larger extent. Instead of interrogating Lionel, she lets him dictate the confrontation. Stupid Stupid Stupid.

Will Lana really leave Smallville, I doubt it.

I did like Pete's confession on his feelings for Chloe, plus the kiss he steals from Chloe with Clark in the elevator.

I hope Lana leaves for Paris soon and that by the time she returns to Smallville, Clark is in Metropolis.

Chloe bra shot? I'm sold. and I usually stay clear from smallville.

Does Kristin Kreuk want off the show or is this some ploy of the writers?

Has to be a ploy. Oh how I wish she wanted off the show.

I don't know how anyone can say Lana is hotter than Chloe. Chloe is just...fine. And Lana is jealous of that cleavage, baby! I need pics!

I hope it's a hot cleavage pic.

Considering Chloe was laying on her back during the reveal, she's got it where it counts. And boy scout Clark thoughtfully has to rip away parts of her clothing, while ostensibly saving her life, but so we're getting some, too. :)

I was hoping for another wardrobe malfunction.

Brief, but nice.

Did the guy who played the teacher's son ever have ANY sort of acting training? :lol: Man, that guy was just downright horrible. I'm not as critical of the episode as some others are, it was a decent episode.

Out of curiosity: was that the same bridge Lex and Clark crashed through in the pilot?

It sure looked like it. Of course, the bridge in the pilot wasn't overly distinct. I'm wondering if the bridge was mentioned by name in that episode, as it was last night.

Otherwise, I thought it was kind of an "eh" episode. While I did like the completely out of the blue reveal of Pete's feelings towards Chloe, I'm sure they're going to completely forget about it for a while.

The main thing I REALLY don't like is how they're stringing out the weirdness with Dr Swan last week, and not telling us exactly what happened. You'd think that Clark would be a heck of a lot more interested in finding the key than he appears to be.

I'm guessing that they'll save any resolution to that for the season finale/next season premiere.

On another note, I have to admit that I literally cheered out loud when Lana mentioned that she was leaving Smallville to go to school, even though I know it's almost certainly never going to happen.

Another thing that this brings up is if Lana's looking into Colleges, does this mean that the characters are all about to graduate (assuming that they're all in the same grade)? While it would be a nice change for the series to ditch the high school thing, they're going to have to come up with some pretty beefy excuses to keep all the characters in Smallville.

Here's some quickie screencaps of the Chloe cleavage scene.
