WF Members, this will also be up at K-Site (as well as a few other forums), so don't feel obliged to reply, but it is appreciated if you do.
Chase's "Hidden" Screenshot GalleryOut of the sixty-one screenshots I took, here are a few of my favorites from this episode.               Preface to FacePlease excuse the brevity of this review, as I haven't done a review since my memoirs on Angel. Quicker ****catWhere to begin, where to begin? I have enjoyed the beginning of this season quite a bit. Primarily due to the lack of the double, double, toil and troubling beginning of Season 4. While just three episodes into the season, it feels as though we're continuing on a straight line, with just a few breaks. I think I feel this way because of the relativity between Season 4's finale and Season 5's premier, and it doesn't hurt that the continuity and writing appears to be improving. Oh, and a bit of gratitude to Stephen DeKnight for bringing his Buffyverse brilliance to Smallville, a show that has often lacked continuity and direction. Tangent No MoreI'll simplify my thoughts into fragments. Please pardon the awkward format. "I am glad that Marsters/Brainiac/Milton Fine is being slowly integrated into the show, and has not been seen from since the premier."
"The show is maturing each season."
"Clana fans worldwide, myself included, must be clamouring with joy over what appears to be a lengthy relationship for the two."
"The friendship between Clark and Chloe is a good way to satisfy the Chlarkers who want more of each in the same shot."
"While the Gabriel is said to be the Freak of the Week, he doesn't appear to have any apparent powers other than being a freaky genius. Get it? 'Freaky' genius?... *falls on face*"
"Is Lionel still Jor-El? If he is, is he assessing all of Clark's friends, allies, and threats? Is Jor-El in control of Lionel, or is Lionel in control of Jor-El and/or using his Kryptonian knowledge to manipulate Clark?"
"Clark should really tell Lana about his secret, or else I fear that Lana will be the person killed off."
"This season's big story plot is 'Which person close to Clark will be killed off in exchange for his revival?'"
"Logically, Lois lives. However, everyone else is death's playmate until, what I believe will occur during, the season finale."
"I still don't like how General Zodd was introduced. Even if for one episode, it's a continuity issue for him not to make an appearance in the series, and if he does appear, there is no way the current Clark could defeat him and Brainiac; let alone I am sure that the current Clark would feel defeat from either individually." Swimming with the SharksIf you don't want to be slightly spoiled, please don't highlight the following portion. Beginning of mild spoilers --> Aquaman is pleasantly out of place, primarily because it would require the setting to be out of Smallville, as I'm almost positive that Smallville is devoid of bodies of water, other than reservoirs, lakes, and swimming pools. However, I do not find it absurd to relocate for an episode, as it will be rather refreshing to expand on what Lois does on her time away from Smallville.<-- End of mild spoilers
