I decided to put spoiler tags on it because I didn't know if people knew or wanted to know about it

Clearly one of the stronger episodes of the season. For those of you complaining that this show is too repetitive, did you even open your eyes during this episode? This episode didn't follow the FOTW formual the series is so well known for, and didn't fall into many of the story telling cliches this series has picked up so far. This episode broke the mold and it was a welcome treat.

Next week looks like it may suck, though. The trailer for the episode ends with yet another Lana in trouble scene. Now talk about repetitive.

yes it is, I didn't know he was directing
I did see him for a split second in a promo spot for 10.5 though so I knew that already

It was a better episode than most, since it wasn't a 'freak' episode. Some much needed fleshing out of the Lex/Lionel relationship.

Boy that was one powerful scene between Lex and Lionel at the end

Really shows why their relationship is so f**ked up

I so can't wait till lex goes Dark Phoenix

I really enjoyed the episode. Kinda sad.
