Smallville -- "Prototype" -- 05/10/07

"Prototype"
Spoiler:
Lex has been secretly trying to turn Wes Keenan, a military man who supposedly died fighting in Afghanistan, into a "super soldier" by injecting him with DNA pulled from the various meteor freaks he has captured. After a crooked senator threatens to expose his secret labs, Lex dispatches Wes to kill the senator, but Lois witnesses the attack and inadvertently becomes the super soldier's next target. Meanwhile, Clark tries to convince Lana to leave Lex.

Geez, Lex's is definitely approaching maniacal status with that final reveal at the end.

Had to chuckle at Lana's pronouncement to Lex that she'll never hurt the man she loves (Clark, not Lex). Haha.

An okay episode. Lex losing Lana makes me scared to see exactly what he is going to turn into. Another lame fight, as per the usual with Smallville.

Next week looks good, as it should be for the season finale, although this one doesn't really seem well set up like past years.

To me it is all about Lionel and where all these strings he's pulling leads to.

ok episode, but the fight was a big letdown after they made him out to be a badass.

Looking forward to the finale.

The fight was bad. I guess they spent the effects budget on the useless sattelite shot and the end reveal.

Clarks seems more comfortable killing bad guys each time he does it. Would Lois hold this against him should she ever find out that he killed her friend?

Was that Super-Heat Vision? Or just dramatic heat vision?
Nice Aliens/Terminator 3/Predator nods.

Is Annette O'Toole leaving the show?

Decent ep. Weird that we don't really know what the season finale is about (based on episodes already aired.)

Lex will probably be going after that Zoner from the video becasue he said there wasn't enough of Titan left to create the rest of the soldiers.

The lana/lex relationship has gotten too unrealistic, just rubbish. Just turn the show into a full on battle between clark and Lex !

Also, the ending shot reminded me exactly of the movie "Coma" and also V:The Miniseries.

And the whole super soldier thing was making me think of X-Files so I laughed when Clark actually said "Super Soldier" once.

The ending was very X-File-ish if you ask me. Just wait. Clark will get wind of it, show up and all the bodies will be gone.

What has happened to this season? It was surprisingly good up until about the wedding episode (with the exception of the Titan episode) and then all of a sudden it went to crap. I could barely make it through this episode and it did nothing to get me excited about the finale which with Smallville is usually great.
