I definitely prefer this Lex with facial hair. It's very Teenage Boy for the twins to be excited about Jamie Kennedy but...really? I enjoyed him in Scream but that's it. Nat should be a kid not a weapons manufacturer. Tom Cavanaugh is the tv reporter talking to Lex. I assume the show name Godfrey is his name but I've decided he's Thawne. Honey I Shrunk The Slaughter Cabin? I'll go see that glorious train wreck of a movie with the kids. Aw the boys are learning the ugly side of fame. "Why are you doing this?" Thank you Lex. I have no idea why she's up your ass so I'm glad you're wondering the same. Otis is dead? Honestly while I'm sure it was Luthor I can also believe Otis killing himself rather than testifying. His devotion to Lex is legendary. Is Lex having an anxiety attack? Wouldn't it be wild if Amanda was secretly working for Brainiac this whole time? Not enough episodes left in the series for it to happen but it would be a cool twist. If Clark's not going to be Superman one day it makes me wonder: will his first heart turn out to be in tact like so many have speculated or will he accept his fate and train the boys to take over before that fateful day? Of course Lex was filming the fight with Clark. Jon, hon, if Candice wants to break up you have to accept it. Don't do that "look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me" nonsense. It worked but I don't care. Ah so this was about getting the suit. The computer graphics did look a bit Brainiac so I'll take that as a win. Ok the suit taking over Irons was creepy as fuck. Well done show. The boys destroyed Nat's suit. Teamwork! I wonder if regular treatments in that bathtub at the Fortress can keep Lane's heart juiced enough so Clark can keep his powers if only for defensive purposes. So Lex does in tend on wearing the suit. Get training everyone.

I was fully lecturing Candice via the tv when her dad was confronting Clark so I'm thrilled Jon's faith in her was justified. It would be so hard to keep that secret and she held firm.

"I will simply deny you the crown and live...forever..."

Aw we get a Clark VoiceOver a flashback montage. Clark should set up some Police Box type things around town so he can suit up and fly out without anyone watching. Lois is putting together a crib (badly) and is salty about it. Annoyed Lois is funny. I hope Kyle and Chrissy get the house BUT I'm sure they could find a nicer apartment if it doesn't work out. Coach being Team Kent is funny but he should apply that good humor to all of his players. JIMMY OLSEN!!! I can't remember if he's been referenced before but, if he's still alive in the present, I want him to show up for...something. I don't care what just bring him on. The douche football player is the only person, so far, I would say it's important to convince Clark and the twins have no powers. The rest of the people so far seem fine keeping quiet aside from the occasional wink and 'super' comment. I'm of two minds on Chrissy selling her half of the Gazette for the house. On the one hand she wants what she thinks is best for her new family and that's important. On the other hand: WHAT WILL SHE BE DOING FOR WORK?? Even if they buy the house upfront rather than get a loan they'll still have to pay taxes and I promise Kyle doesn't make enough for that. If Chrissy really wants the house this bad then she should ask her parents for financial help and KEEP HER JOB. If she already had a new job lined up following the sale of the Gazette then sure go do whatever but she said nothing. I like Angry Clark. I think a big part of this is he never had to navigate this many people knowing about Superman AND he was't in control of them finding out. Hey douche Tim's mom is the only person in Smallville who doesn't know about the powers. I love how comic bullies, in the event they find out about Our Hero's Secret Identity, won't suddenly realize they'd been awful to someone who could literally punch their head off but will double down. Yes, the Kents won't do that but they have a ability. Douche Tim's friends did seem to consider this but they must not have explained it to him properly. Jimmy's getting a major part of the flashbacks so I'm scared he's dead. A part of me thought Lane's heart would make him a smidge sucseptible to bullets. Like it would scratch him, he'd bleed enough to convince Emmett, and then heal quickly. But him choosing to formally reveal Superman ended up being poignant. Of course Lex was behind Emmett finding out. At least Candace can keep a secret. He knows the boys will be on board but still does a family meeting to discuss telling the world. Never change Clark. Ephraim is in this episode??? Does that mean Gregory directed? I love Clark's interview/speech. Keep the glasses. They're an accessory like a watch or baseball cap. They can be how you let people know you're in Clark mode rather than Superman mode. Jimmy's alive!!

It just occurred to me that my new friend AMAZING WIG may not be seen again and I'm sad. Meanwhile Lex is having a tantrum. Oh, good, he's burning Liz's picture. That's healthy. There's something about how the CW does those banana curls that makes even the healthiest hair look dry. I like Jon annoying Jordan with his super speed. I think this will be good for him and their relationship. But, yes, Jon does need to slow down. Hee, Clark's gong a bit gray and now he's having a (minor) complex. THEORY TIME! I think having Lane's heart will give Clark a more human lifespan. I think he'll get most/all of his powers back but will also be able to grow old with Lois rather than stay physically young long after her natural death. Amanda's all in with Lex but even she's having a hard time selling Smallville as the new headquarters for the League of Doom or whatever he's planning. Denise being nervous around Clark is cute. And he bought hair dye, hee. "You know you can breathe right?" I like when powers are treated with humor. To be fair, hero-ing has to appetite stimulating. Of course Coach no longer hates Jon now that he knows about his powers. And the woman whose property Lex wants to buy knows about Clark as well. Is there anyone in town who doesn't? Did the people who watched Dooms kill Superman do that thing where they turn to a family member/friend/neighbor and say "you have to PROMISE not to tell but..." and thus everyone knew in an hour? Small towns are a great place for gossip to spread quickly. Ok so Frog Boy was chasing an ego boost while Toad Boy is chasing an adrenaline high. They each need to go to the fortress for weekly therapy sessions. I'll be honest and say I'd probably take the money Lex was offering so I'm impressed seeing Aidy and the others stand firm against him. Of course, knowing Lex, he'll find another way to get the land and it'll probably be bloodier but we'll enjoy the moment. Being an exchange student is a good idea. Jon and/or Jordan could fly Sarah wherever she gets accepted so they'd save on airfare. I love storm footage but my brain instantly starts wondering if Lex caused it and his big revenge is sending a tornado to destroy all the Smallville properties. Or he'll send Otis to kill Lana and Sarah. I said this back in season 1 but I'm so happy they wrote Lois and Lana as friends. They could have done the typical CW bullshit but instead wrote such a good friendship that Lana calling the Kents for help and Lois offering comfort is the most natural thing. Oh, Lex. Yes, turning on red sun lights removes Clark's powers but it just means he's willing to put his weight behind that punch. With his powers he'd hold back so as not to kill you. He doesn't have his powers but he still knows how to throw down. Clark feels bad about the fight because he's a good person. That's why he's Superman. So is Amanda his wife? Girlfriend? Biggest fan? I don't get why she's so far up Lex's ass.

Yep it's labor laws. It's also why producers and directors love twins so much. Children are allowed to work for only so long each day but so many shows and movies film for longer than that time period. If you hire twins you can keep going when the first twin has reached the legal limit for that day of filming. For teenage roles you just hire adults and then you can film as long as you want.

I wonder where the Perfect Mom Joyce thing came from because the show did a good job of presenting her as very much not that in the first two seasons. She loved Buffy and wanted her to have a good life but she also left Buffy alone a lot due to her job. Leaving Buffy alone worked for dealing with demons and not having to worry about her mom (until the plot required it) but it also showed her not having a great support system for the non-Slayer parts of her life. Joyce cared about whether Buffy was doing well in school but also made no effort to make sure she was actually doing the work to get good grades (to be fair, this is a trait every tv parent shares). The biggest example of Joyce not being a Perfect Mom was her finally learning about demons and Buffy being the Slayer and reacting to it by throwing her out of the house. In the first two seasons the show was aware of Joyce's failings and used that for characterization and story progression but that went away starting in season 3. Season 3 is also when Buffy's dad, who was like Joyce in that he loved her but had his own parental failings, went from long distance father to full on doesn't care about his daughter abandoner so I wonder if there was a connection. Anyway, Joyce throwing Buffy out of the house could have led to a really interesting story. How does a parent come back from that kind of action? Can they have a relationship again and what would that look like? The show loved playing with demons as metaphors (high school is Hell being the main one) so it's not like it wouldn't have fit the premise. Joyce finding out about Buffy and demons was intentionally presented as a Coming Out metaphor but the fallout was mainly about how Joyce Feels Bad and the Scoobies' anger at Buffy abandoning them. Buffy's feelings were mostly centered on her trauma and guilt over killing Angel and less on her guilt over Willow's attack, Giles' torture, and how completely alone she was when she struck that killing blow. Joyce was shown to regret her action but she also made no move to find Buffy and apologize. When she woke up the next morning and found Buffy had come back only to get some things she was upset but, again, just sat there upset rather than take action to find her. She was very passive in all of this and then it got swept under the rug. My UO related to Buffy leaving Sunnydale and then returning is I'd rather the show not have done the episode where everyone confronts each other if they weren't going to do it right. If they weren't going to do a real fallout to the season 2 finale, which should have been over the course of the season, then that should have been it. In the house party episode Buffy hears Joyce say she wished she hadn't come back yet Buffy is the bad guy for taking her at her word. Joyce is never in a position to explain herself and instead is allowed to get angry at Buffy for running away and then intending to do it again. The Scoobies are allowed to get angry at Buffy for running away but not allowed to actually ask what she was going through emotionally. Everyone fixated on Xander's "kick his ass" line, which I understand, but the bigger question for me is: did any of the Scoobies find out Joyce had kicked Buffy out of the house after learning she was the Slayer? I think Giles knew but I don't think the others did and that's a big piece of information they're missing. I hate that episode so I don't rewatch unless absolutely necessary so they all may have known and just taken Joyce's side (which would be worse). The episode where Giles keeps asking Buffy for every detail of fighting and killing Angel so he can do a binding spell only to reveal to Willow there was never a spell was exactly how the season should have handled the fallout from season 2 finale. He knew Buffy was leaving something out about killing Angel, knew that detail was the last straw for her emotionally, and knew she needed to unburden herself but wouldn't if directly asked so he found a way to get her to open up. Imagine a season 3 with little moments like this sprinkled throughout. Instead Buffy was the bad guy, Joyce got away with being a bad mom, and the only fallout was centered on Angel. Missed opportunities all over the place.

Flashback alert!!! Are we getting the AMAZING WIG??? WE'RE GETTING THE AMAZING WIG!!!! NOW GO EAT CLEVELAND!!! No surprise Lex is a shit husband and father. I bet he hired the AMAZING WIG to kill his wife. Lex looked to be more upset at someone thinking he was a shit father than the fact he was one. Which tracks. I love how casually comic book characters can say "he killed you" and it's just one of many facts about the subject of the conversation. I missed this character's name but she's already got the compassionate hero thing down better than Frog Boy. Hire her for Hero Lessons and then you'll get it right. I would love a movie told exclusively from the point of view of the people you know are watching Supes and Lex from those houses along the road. Lex hired the AMAZING WIG to be his lawyer. AMAZING WIG isn't bad, having convinced Lex to let his ex have whatever property she wants but is falling short on the custody dispute. I hope Candace and Jordan end up forging a nice friendship like Jon and Sarah have. Lex Luthor's daughter is Simmons from Agents of SHIELD. Let's go full DC/Marvel crossover cause I want to see the look on Lex's face when she tells him about her time on an alien planet. Jordan in "trying to come up with believable bullshit" while Jon flies Lois around is pretty fun. They should have been doing this all along. Ah now the AMAZING WIG is giving therapy a try. Lex you're telling Elizabeth she's the one good thing he's done in the flashbacks yet you object to her viewing you as a monster in the present. Your own words support her perception. Black market puppies? Jordan should NEVER have been Frog Boy. He should only have been the one to come up with cover stories. The more absurd the better. Elizabeth is a doctor? I'm telling you this is a DC/Marvel crossover. Lex you had private investigators following your own daughter like a bunch of creepers? Of course. I appreciate Clark and Lois showing compassion to Lex regarding Elizabeth but she doesn't want a monster for a father and that should be that. Elizabeth wants him to take responsibility for his actions and he can't/won't do it. That's the key here not how upset he was when Lane helped her hide. I feel for child Lex but that doesn't excuse the crimes of adult Lex. Of course Lois decides to call Doomsday without telling anyone. Would she have done anything else? Good on Elizabeth for issuing the ultimatum and following through. Lex would never choose her. He will always choose himself, this time in the form of revenge. Lois and Clark really need to talk to the twins about what they need to tell people so they don't go around blabbing just because someone's mad at them. Lois defeats Doomsday with only her words. Absolute superhero. The image was muddled at the end. Did Dooms kill himself?

The actor is in her thirties so I assume Chrissy's the same age. Which then makes her mom's snide remark about Chrissy and Sarah being almost the same age even stupider. Chrissy's in her thirties and Kyle's in his forties. This is hardly an inappropriate age gap for a couple to have. Her mom had real and understandable concerns about how quickly they were getting married but it's like she wanted to approach it in all the wrong ways.

Smoochies and a family hug. Welcome home Clark. I like how he has a scar. He could have instantly healed without a sign but it's a physical reminder of what Lane gave him. I know Lex thinks he's permanently killed Superman but you'd think he'd want to monitor Frog Boy as he's proven his recklessness. I think Kyle and Chrissy came out of left field and don't fully buy them working without her pregnancy but the actors have established a nice rapport so I'm ok with it. Clark geeking out over Jon's Star Wars reference was great. I like the father/Jon bonding while training. See, Clark? Even if you're ultimately back to your old self you did just get a heart transplant and even Superman needs time to recover. My favorite Superman related thing of all time is how intimidated he gets when Lois gives him A Look. It's always so much fun. Clark's feeling the wine for the first time in his life. I hadn't considered that. I officially want him to fully heal and get back to normal EXCEPT for the feeling the effects of alcohol thing. Seeing Clark Kent say things "that really sucks" was fun and should continue. If Clark needs some easy I'm sure he could easily rent out the barn and grounds for events. I love Kyle's instant judgement/concern over Clark having indoor grills but it seems to be working out fine. I have to agree with Coach here, Kyle. Do not ruin your wedding with Blink 182. DO NOT. They are appropriate for 90s Nostalgia Night and that's it. Chrissy's running. I knew it. Her mom's concern about motives are understandable but she is not expressing herself well at all. And Chrissy's dad giving a bullshit excuse rather than attending? Do Chrissy's parents even like her? I fully expect her to go through with the wedding and I can only assume it's after telling her mother to shove it. Cleo has decided to watch the show with me and her chosen spot is, of course, on my chest right in front of my face. If I suddenly have a bunch of typos that's why. I will say, Kyle, if you proposed because you missed the feeling of having a family again then you should definitely wait before getting married. Ah, so Chrissy's parents got married because of pregnancy so they're assuming it's the same situation and, rather than just provide their own point of view, decided to be jerks. Even though it's not a super suit the hoodie looks way more natural than the Frog Boy getup. Lex's enforcers better not hurt Jon! Protective Papa overrules whatever effects there are of Lane's heart. SIGH. It's a nice gesture from Jordan but let's not with the amphibian gear. I love the Frog and Toad stories but that doesn't mean I want Jordan and Jon to emulate them. Hang on, has Sophie always been taller than Sarah or did that just happen this season?
