I gave up on this show last season, but this is one episode I certainly will be watching.

That was a pretty enjoyable episode, and the start of something big.

"Boy Scout". Haha.

Can't feel too bad for Ollie, he'll meet Dinah Lance (Black Canary) one day, I suspect.

Perhaps a JLA spin-off could work if they could keep the special effect budget under control.

God I hope so ...but it's too bad we're back to more "filler crap" next week.

Hopefully, we'll get another "Justice" episode before the Season Finale and keep seeing less and less of Lana.

I actually thought next week's episode looked pretty interesting, though it could turn out to be a complete wreck. Hell, I'd be happy if there's no freak of the week in the next episode.

I don't know....

At the end of Justice, I was hoping Clark would go with the team just so we could take the show in a new direction.

However, just like episode 100, the writers once again missed their chance.

At least the Lois/Oliver thing was resolved nicely w/o dragging it out for 4-5 years.

at Lex's freedom and democracy comment. Move over Bush, I think he's ready for the Presidency now.

That was a cool episode. Loved the walkout from the exploding facility - reminded me of the Justice League opening.

Well, we know Lionel is somewhat on Clark's side by providing the alibi to throw Lex off the scent. Lionel is still playing both sides, though.

Chloe is pretty much playing a young Oracle at this point (hacking, and coordinating).

Exactly, especially with her coordinating from the "watchtower". Lex's plans kinda reminded me of the Cadmus stuff he was involved with in Justice League unlimited.

Lionel taking a quick shot at Lex's speech by calling it lofty was funnier.

Good episode. Lois' heart is broken now, will Clark take advantage of that?

Clark's got zoners on his mind.

It was cool and cheesy at the same time.

I'm having a hard time deciding what was better, the Justice League or the fact this ep was Lana-free. Heopefully she stays in Paris or the plane she comes back on crashes.

Next week looks like the bad Buffy episode where she was in the nut house. Though one good part is
Spoiler:
The Martian-Manhunter is supposed to show up again.

Loved this episode! I'm sorrie to see Ollie go but it was a great send off. I too hope for a Justice League spin-off.

And, yeah, the walkout was cool and cheesy at the same time. But what really got to me was that Ollie actually had his hood and glasses off as he walked away. Brings to mind what Cyborg said about them not having the secret part down yet.

Nicely done! Hopefully this ties in to what hopefully will be the series finale next year. Kill the zoners, get fortressified, join the Justice-Folk, end of show. Oh, and Lana being gone was the best creative decision they've made since...well, ever.

IMO it was more of the latter than the former. Especially the redux heading out of the Kent barn. Oh, did Aquaman/Cyborg have a hood too?

I'll chime in with another "this episode was made greater by the absence of Lana" comment. I can't believe I loathe the very sight of someone so cute.

And, i'll agree that next week's ep looks....interesting. However, with Smallville's track record, i'm sure they'll do something to fuck it up.

Great episode. The only thing missing was Bruce, Diana and a JLA shower scene.

is it just me or does green arrow make this show more interesting. he keeps telling clark that he must get off his butt and not wait for trouble to come to him. he seems like the jor-el father figure giving clark advice. i hope the lana thing gets closed in the finale because this show rocks when she's absent. I hope arrow and the rest of league make frequent appearances. this was the best episode yet with "arrow" coming in second.

Why was Lana not appearing in this episode? I know she was in Paris or wherever but why is the actress not appearing in all the episodes?
