Great. I think I deleted my season pass because I was tired of the repeats being recorded. Gotta remember to record it tonight.

Hooray! New episode! Now I gotta remember to clear that Office TiVo thinks is new but isn't so I can get this and LOST tonight. Nothing new on for SO long and tonight I have five hours of "new" programming to watch!

We left off with "Clark" getting closer to Lana, right? But then in the last seconds of the episode they revealed to the viewers it was actually Bizarro?

Since the strike I haven't really been able to get too excited about new episodes of shows. I'm quite content to wait until the DVD release and catch up then.

I am looking more forward to Smallville then Lost tonight. I can't wait to see a new episode. But thats the great thing about today Smallville is on at 8 and Lost is on at 9. So I can still watch both. Today should be a good day for TV

Nice to see Marc "Jimmy Olsen" McClure show up on Smallville (as Daxur).

The Bizarro scenes were full of contradiction at times.

The Lex-Julian-Lionel stuff is too over-the-top (or maybe I'm not quite used to it anymore since it's been a while since the last batch of episodes.

It was good to have the show back, but the Lana-Bizarro love thing wasn't necessary.

How many clones can there be now?

This whole Kryptonians going back and forth to Earth in the past is lame lame lame.

Does this maybe mean that Michael McKean may return as Perry White?!?!

Marc McClure looked quite good for 50!

So going from no James Marsters to seeing him in two shows in one week (Torchwood being the other - so one with fake accent and one without!). Nothing wrong with that!

Julian is dead...that is enough to make this one of the most satisfying episodes so far this season.

Quoted for truth - Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes.


When he and Lionel were leaving the restaurant and Julian was doing his monologue on steaks, I felt as if I was watching a community college production of GlenGarry Glen Ross.

for the deaf.

by the deaf.

...and retarded.

Looks like we're headed for more Clark/Lana relationship drama

The entire Julian story proves to be a giant waste of time.

I dunno about that. Gough / Millar are pretty well known for listening to their fans. I bet they had a larger story planned out for him, but thankfully killed him off.

Now if we can only get them to kill off Lana....

....after a nude scene of course.

I might expect that to be how the series would end... the thing that finally boots Clark in the ass and convinces him to move to Metropolis. As for naked, that ain't never gonna happen!

Bizzaro and lana, what was the point?
I hope clana ends soon, seriously. I'm starting to get sick of it, and the bizzaro lana thing just started it.

I was thinking that she was the example that they DO NOT listen to the fans.

Do they really make steaks like that? Sounded great, but I've never been to a "classy" Steakhouse.
