The premise sounds kinda bad, but it should show Clark becoming more Superman-like.

I was hoping for no weirdo stuff and just a normal 'evil' person, but after the opening, it looks like it will be something weird.

Smallville takes on illegal immigration. This is already a snorefest.

"We saw a latino run across the road" [in Kansas] "We have to investigate - he might be illegal." OMG. How fucking stupid. This is like Jericho-stupid.

Yeah, they are having a good time equating Clark as the most illegal of illegal aliens. Immigration from Krypton was a bitch.

And the ability to jump on speeding trucks.

A meteor freak, yippee!

I just wish this show would have the balls to get away from the meteor freak/Zoners premise. It's beyond lazy as this point in the sixth season.

The ending scene with Lex was pretty damn sweet, although not enough to redeem the episode.

Yeah, it's pretty bad when the last shot and the upcoming preview are the best part of the hour. Rank this one with "Spell" and "Thirst." Yet another "what were they thinking."

Ring that bell!

bleh - boring episode, and as Red Dog said, "Jericho-stupid". (I like how Jericho has become the new standard for things that suck )

My favorite freeze-frame moment was
Spoiler:
Lana being thrown across the room by Lex.

Bout time they show Lex get a bit darker but the story of the Krypto-freak was boring.

It was funny how seriously law enforcement seemed to take one illegal immigrant. It almost took a greater suspension of disbelief than any of the superpowers displayed on the show.

And the rightous anger of Mama Kent. "I took an oath!" Sheesh.

And could Lana be any more annoying with telling Lex that she wants to spend HIS money on naturalizing the illegals. "Money is power, Lex". Yeah and its all mine, beotch! I was really hoping that he'd fully embrace his evil and decapitate Lana in his study.

I really wanted to see Clark play hoops with Jimmy. His, "Ring that bell" line cracked me up.

Spoiler:
Looking forward to the Justice League, though was that the same Flash? Also, Cyborg was never in the league, right? Wasn't he always a Titan?

Son of a...

Was this a new ep? The CW's website said they were re-running Sneeze.

Shit. I'll have to get this through alternate means.

Yeah - that was just plain stupid. She took an oath to uphold the Constitution of Kansas and the US I assume. I don't think either contains a provision that requires a citizen to report illegal aliens.

Next week Clark will be forced to stop a meteor freak that goes on a racial tirade in The Talon.
