Giant Stride commercial. The Mr. Fantastic bit at Lionel's vault was lame - Pete's watch could fit through the space between the door and the jam? Surprised the special effects guys didn't catch that.

I normally don't complain about in-show advertising but this episode was just insane.
How the hell would kryptonite even get in the gum. The factory wasn't even in Smallville. It is just completely absurd.

This was just sad. I'd easily take a Clana story over this. Pete returns and is EXACTLY the same whiny punk as when he was last seen. Only serves to show how far Chloe has come. Nice to see Jimmy FINALLY return!
It is so getting time to start wrapping up this series when Stride gum is the lynchpin for you plot.

Worst episode since season 4. And definitely up there with the Fast and Furious Pete. He was always a decent character, but always saddled with the worst stories.
So Kara knows something's up and Clark & Lana still won't come clean? Give me a break. So Clark pushes another chick into the arms of Lex. How tired. This episode was just bad across the board.
The ONLY redeeming thing was Jimmy finding out Chloe is a meteor freak.

What a wasted opportunity. Pete seemed like a non-factor in this episode. It could have easily been written for anyone in Clark's past (if they aren't already dead!) who knows his secret. How many times has his cocky attitude and thumbing his nose at Clark landed him in hot water?

As for Pete's vfx... ugh, worse than the Generation X movie a few years ago.
