OK, since I'm in love with Allison Mack I'm going to tone what I came in here to post. But so far this is horrible stuff. Anything Lana just kills this show for me.

Edit. Ugh

I thought this episode was pretty good for what is was... until that last scene. Then it turned into "Attack of the Clones" dialogue.

I'm assuming the Prometheus idea comes from the DC Comics character of the same name.

Still I thought the direction was pretty solid. Interesting twist for the Lana plot. Not really excited for it, but it is intriguing. Let's see where they go, but this cannot end well was all I was thinking at the end.

Wow, that was one stylish gas station bathroom hair cut.


Ugh, that Clark/Chloe scene was almost unwatchable. "I have ability's, I can take care of myself."

Which DC Comics character of the same name? Is she going to burn hot or get ass-beat by Batman?

Answer: Neither. She's just going to look hot as hell and suck.

Which would be much better my way, by the way.

He's asking how she knows now. When Jor-El restored her memories, he left out the ones pertaining to Clark's secret. She remembers now after having Braniac taker her over and then having him removed with the aid of the Legion.

It's really hard, but we have to stay strong. I think there's just one more episode for Lana.

The Tess breakin action was ok, everything else was blah.

Count me in as another who can't wait for Lana to leave. How can somebody who looks like that be that unwatchable?

I don't think you can't blame Kristen Kreuk entirely. Well, maybe you can, but the character just stopped being any sort of interesting and became a bad element for the show from writing alone several seasons ago.

Same with Lex. Both characters out stayed their welcome. I think why this season has kinda been refreshing. New blood and new energy.
I liked Allison Mack's Direction just not the script.
So we have Super Lana now?

Re: Smallville -- "Power" -- 1/29/09

Why after this season started so wonderfully is the show suddenly regressing. Is it that they had some old unfilmed Lana-centric Smallville scripts and decided to adapt them to this season? Cos that was borderline unwatchable.

Where in the hell is Lois? When will Lana leave? When will the Justice League reunite? Why is Doomsday still sleeping in the Fortress?

They should bring back Lois, I like her lines way better than Lana's.

I don't know but the last 2 weeks have been terrible. No sign of Lois since the Winter break and we've been overloaded with Lana. The dialog last night was horrible and I just didn't care a bit about the plot of the show.

I had Batman Begins flashbacks during her training. It seemed very 'Liam Neeson trains Lana as a ninja' to me.

Lots of Lana plus NO Lois = FAIL.

Kinda funny that Lex shares Tess' shower videos and sex-with-Oliver videos
