In case you don't own the DVD's of Smallville and want to re-visit the Pilot, The CW is re-airing it on Friday April 8th.

I can maybe buy Chloe being mistaken for an FBI agent. But Oliver "I Am A Well Known Public Figure Billionaire That Outted Himself As A Masked Crimefighter" Queen? Seriously?

A ripoff of "Date Night"

interesting reveal at the end
but not entirely surprising

Episode was a lot better than I was expecting, and it wasn't a filler episode

Yup. I was pleasantly surprised by this one moving the arc along. Though Clark's tranformation into "Clark" felt rather forced at the end.

Yeah, and next week's looks like a rip off of

Trying to hard for something that will make little sense, everyone has seen Clark without glasses for years, someone sees a fuzzy picture and even think it looks like him.

I rather Clark did not act like a dork, I prefer how Clark has been acting.

I have to agree with that. I was hoping Clark would have been more straigh laced (like we saw him in the future and how he's portrayed in the comics). Clark being "average" doesn't quite work but I liked the he finally wore the glasses. Hopefully his "mild mannered" persona is a work in progress.

The Chloe and Oliver storyline was such a blatant rip-off of Date Night. But, I did find it compelling as it gave them a chance to work out their relationship issues. I also enjoyed that it tied into the Dark Seid arc that was introduced early on, but never really addressed until now. The little reveal about Oliver at the end was a neat twist.

Yeah I think Clark tranforming into mild mannered clutsy Clark with the glasses is a work in progress. But, I do appreciate that we finally get to see the Clark Kent look from the comics and movies.

I liked the scene with Clark and the police photographer, then Clark's eye zooming and auto-focusing at the forensics morgue.

Is there any previous incarnation of Superman who has ever had microvision?

"It's my power, I can call it what I want."

Superman's had "microscopic vision" in the comics.

Chloe should dress like that more often.

Odd question, any of you guys know the kind of shades Oliver wore in the last episode?

Good episode. I agree that it was good to have the Dark Seid arc back since it's been missing since the "Luthor" episode with Tess at Granny's place.

I do feel like the show has a bit more pep since Chloe came back. Probably a function of Oliver being happy instead of moping around in the background.

How is Lois giving Clark a lecture when she has a model church with superhero figures in it sitting on her desk?!

I didn't like the bumble Clark either. I get he needs to be different than his normal self, but that's just a step backwards. I did like the way he positioned his glasses though. Seemed like a good nod to Reeve's character.
