The journey between here and there

WOW! WOW!WOW! WOW!WOW! WOW!WOW! WOW!WOW! WOW! This show kicked serious arse. I am so deliriously happy! This is just such a great episode. What did I like? Everything! I didn’t even write about Exposed last week cuz it sucked so bad and I was upset that it was the 3rd episode in a row that sucked monkey butts… Thankfully Smallville managed to rebound with a Tomerific episode of Splinter.

The WOWIE KAZOWIE!

That red farm truck constantly gets wrecked! The crash scene was awesome! The tires rolling, smoke billowing out, metal smashing! Wow! I love to watch a good crash. I wonder if the Kents will get a different colored truck or different model… their insurance has GOT to be expensive!

Everything! Tom is such a great actor. I know I’ve mentioned that before, but I really need to mention it again. He is Fabuloso baby! He does an incredible ‘crazy, deranged’ person!

I loved how the make-up artists made him look more and more crazy as the show went on.

I loved the gradual build up of tension and craziness in Clark.

I loved seeing Clark beat everyone up and kick the livin’ piss outta people that he loved. It was powerful.

I love how Brainiac is playing with Clark and messing with his mind.

Once again I love the morphing images of Brainiac ingesting the silver kryptonite from the rock.

Awwww… I almost had tears in my eyes when Chloe said she would die to protect Clark’s secret… now is that foreshadowing or what! I’m so sad.

Chloe is such a great character! I really hope they don’t kill her off.

I wish I could say the same about Lana… they just base her character on being a hypocrite… SECRETS and LIES! SECRETS and LIES! is all that seems to come out of her mouth, yet she’s got her own secrets and lies that she keeps from Clark. I was actually happy that Clark was strangling her. I was secretly hoping she’d die. I wish the writers would make her character stronger, better and more enjoyable to watch. I like Kristin as an actress, but the material they give her to work with is horrible. It seems all she does is whine about people keeping secrets and lies yet she’s got lots of her own.

The HUH?

When did Lionel get money? I thought Lex wasn’t giving him anything and he was broke. When did Papa Luthor get coin? I know it was a paranoia moment with the cash, but papa Luthor looked well dressed.

Why didn’t Clark ask Brainiac what he did with the blood and the splinter he sucked out of his neck? Or how he knew what to do?

Wasn’t Clark curious as to what kind of instrument he used?

Clark is too trusting of Brainiac… the last few ‘Kryptonians’ he met have been no good to him…. Kara got him sucked back into the cave and the 2 that came out of the ship tried to kill him because he wouldn’t follow their plans. Clark is the most skeptical and leery person when it comes to other people and his secret. Why does he confide in Brainiac? Why does he trust Brainiac all of a sudden? I dunno.

Clark almost KILLS Lana and she’s all, “I forgive you, I understand” in the hospital. Riiiiiight. Lana is pissy and holds a grudge. She got pissed at Clark and didn’t want to see him again when the horse stomped on her while she was looking after Lex in the ‘Shattered’ episode. Now she’s all sweet, forgiving and demure??? Whatever. That’s not the Lana I’ve watched.

…then again if that pair of eyes came begging for my forgiveness I would forgive him in a heart beat.

Seriously can anyone say no to that face? Those lips?…. I don’t think so!

Clark smashes his mother across the face and she goes hurling across the floor and into mirrors and all kinds of crap and she’s not MAD? Or doesn’t have ANY bruises or cuts?!?

Yeah right!

Lex had a bunch of cuts and bruises!

Clark whipped him around and beat him up in the same manner as momma Kent. Same with Jonathan. Clark goes nutso on him and he’s not pissed off… not even a little??? Hot headed Jonathan Kent isn’t even a teensy weensy pissed? that his wife( the one he loves and is head over heels for) gets knocked around by Clark? Jonathan and Martha are being painted as waaaaaaaaay to perfect…like a lil’ “Leave it to Beaver” family. I don’t buy that. No parents can be THAT understanding… silver kryptonite or not. When Clark went off on Jonathan in the ‘Red’ episode Jonathan was more than a little ticked off. I dunno, maybe it’s just me. I don’t buy the perfection in Jonathan and Martha.

Wouldn’t Lex have video surveillance on his lil’ pet project? He seems like he has cameras everywhere else. You’d think he’d have cameras on the spaceship so he can see Brainiac coming and going…. just curious that’s all.

How did papa Luthor know that Lex liked Lana? Was he snooping in Lex’s diary cuz there never was mention of this annoying Clark/Lex/Lana triangle till a few episodes ago. Or maybe Lex has been doodling ‘Lex loves Lana’ all over his work notes and leaves them lying around? It’s just odd that daddy-O would know such an intimate detail on his son. Don’t get it.

However, despite my gripes and snarks this episode was superb!

5 out of 5. It was wonderfully executed. I really liked it!… ok.. I LOVED IT! I’m also partially ecstatic that there’s FINALLY a good episode thrown in.

I taped it so I want to watch it AGAIN! Whoo hooo hoo!

Well, I’m sleepy. Night, night, sleep tight. Happy dreams of Tom tonite!
