This crap was awful. If your going to have a 30 minute dream sequence at least make it the dream of one of the main characters and actually have a purpose besides some pointless gimmick.
This might be the worst episode of the entire series, even beyond the vampire and witch episodes.

After seeing the preview last week and reading the episode description on Tivo, I thought it would terrible. Much to my surprise, it was only really bad. Not terrible...it gets the upgrade because they DID move things forward a teancy bit.

It wasn't the best, but it wasn't that bad. It felt kinda Lois&Clark-ish. I thought Tom Welling did a good job playing the goofy Clark Kent, and then the confident Clark later on. It really showed me for the first time he would make a good Superman in a movie.

Was just reading on Kryptonsite that Welling is signed through a season 8 but Rossenbaum only has a 7 year contract.

Pointless episode. I do have to agree that Tom did look good in glasses and would make a great Clark/Superman in a movie. To be fair with Brandon Roth, the entire Superman Returns movie was miscast if you ask me.

I finally got around to watching this episode and I was pleasantly surprised.
Although pointless in the grander arc, it show off the acting talents of quite a few regulars. Aaron Ashmore did a great job as Jimmy Olsen Bogart. Chloe was perfect as always. The real star was direction and dialog. They got the feel of a film noir movie and that is pretty darn ambitious for a fantasy superhero show.
I also watched Superman Returns and what a steaming pile of crap that was. Casting and script were horrible. I can honestly say Season 6 of Smallville was more enjoyable than Superman Returns.
Welling should be Superman <period>
