I have three, actually.

Which have mostly been covered here--Dichotic, Drone and Redux. My problem with Dichotic was they took someone who had all the WB good stuph (JTT with that incredible smile and Christian-Slater-ness attitude), someone who actually can act, and gave him utter pointless dreck to work with. Honestly, when he later shows up in Belle Reve, you really didn't need backstory for him--though I admit, I was busier laughing at the vagaries of fandom--my entire brain was saying "Look! Bobby Drake in a mental hospital!" every time I saw the FotWs go at it...

Whisper, though? Not epically lame. Drone is epically lame. Anything with Tina Greer is repugnantly lame. And this ep's not that either. It's more just...plebian. I was bored.

Which may be the most shocking part of the ep. Though I will stand up fiercely for the Chloe in this one--even knowing the Luthors would crush her--and she did at the time, it's in her eyes--she stood up to Lionel. That takes big resounding brass ones that so far this season, she hasn't exhibited. So, maybe we're going to get Chloe with her spine back--which would be good, as the rest of the show's seemingly quite flabby at present.
