spoilery thoughtsWow. I thought there were some really cool things in this ep. I know there were problems, but the exchanges between Clark and his dad, Clark and Pete, and Clark and Lex all did great things to propel the characters forward.

Jonathan acknowledging that Clark's options and choices are not, in fact, those that are known and familiar to him and Martha, and that Clark will basically have to form his own morality based on the things he can do that no one else can.

I was annoyed by the speedy set-up of Pete's new hobby, but perhaps most of my problems had to do with the horrible, grating music playing during all of the race scenes. It makes sense that he'd be into racing as there's always been some indication that Pete likes cars, especially exploding Camaros.

I really loved Clark calling Pete on his bullshit even though he obviously felt he had no choice but to help him. Obviously, one of the things Clark is going to have to do is find a way to not end up morally compromised…which I guess is where a Supersekrit identity might come in handy, yes? I also loved the scene at the end. I teared up. I loved Clark not being a tool or a pawn or a chump or anything other than a sad-eyed, betrayed friend. I really love Clark.

I loved the Lex scenes. The barn scene made me whimper. I can't even be coherent. Lex loves Clark so much. And he'll do anything for him (so long as it's for him). Anything at all. And Clark better fucking be careful what he wishes for.

Adam. Now it's boring. They just need to do whatever they're going to do with the character. Perhaps he's just a long, drawn-out way for Lex to get himself a pet biologist. Hi, Dr. Tang.

Oh. My. God. Preview for next week with Clark in bed with some girl straddling his lap. Jesus. That feeling? Where your ovaries are sort of…stimulated? Gah. Clearly the only thing that would make this odd sensation better is being that girl who gets to sit on TW's lap.

No Angel for me, apparently. They're apparently going to re-air Smallville on Saturday, but I don't know about Angel. I'm getting kind of dependent on the Angel eps, as well, but I'm somewhat soothed by the Smallville.

I'm glad someone else liked the Clark/Pete scene at the end. Clark is pretty much on his own now. It's a very lonely place to be and I feel bad for him that so many people think he's an ass just because he's not sweet smiling Clark anymore.

The only Clark I didn't like was barn!Clark. It didn't make sense to me that he wouldn't just tell Lex. When Lex said "Be careful," it felt to me like he knew Clark was going to do something. Kind of like quietly condoning whatever Clark had to do. It seemed silly to have Clark revert to playing dumb when there was no reason for him to think Lex would have been upset.

Um. You didn't miss much on Angel, IMO. And I'm done babbling now. :)

I really wish I'd seen the episode you saw. Interesting analysis, it's given me a lot to think about.

Bwahaha! Well, he needs a new one anyway. *g*

Oh yes. I hear you. My first thought was, "That lucky bitch!"

I, too, felt the Pete/Clark scene at the end was delicious. I was *so* cheering for Clark when he let the ball drop and walked away - for all the bitching Pete does about having to be Clark's friend, he doesn't hesitate to use it to his advantage. It makes me angrier to think how he always spouts that he has Clark's back compared to Lex, and that a Luthor can't be trusted. Seems to me Lex knows the rules better than any teenage boy with an inferiority complex could: and here, Clark had to rely on his ties with Lex to save Pete's ass on grounds that could only be described as 'stupid teenage crap'.
Watching Clark walk away, I hoped Clark was thinking "well, at least Lex wouldn't try to gloss it over like that - hell, I bet Lex wouldn't get himself in that situation to begin with, would he?"

The barn scene - I felt it was a bit of a jealousy thing with Lex. I had the feeling he was not-asking Clark if he would steal for him and bend the rules a bit to show his twoo lofff. The fact that he didn't own up to it? Clark won't be getting any roses for Valentine's Day.

I wondered a bit why Lex didn't offer to fly in the best cardiologist for Bo like he usually would.
