oiranspoilery 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.

Date: 2004-02-11 08:46 pm (UTC)Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but I see a pattern of Clark mistaking the keeping of secrets for personal integrity, and now that we're seeing fallout from some of that, it's starting to cause him a great deal of distress. He's totally on his own. His dad has basically just cut him loose in terms of providing moral guidance, even though he didn't mean to strand Clark by doing so. Lex knows that Clark is a liar, and I think that just freaks Clark the fuck out. How can he even begin to backtrack from all the lies? It gets a little bit too late with every episode.
Poor little alien boy, scared and lonely. Plus, he's so fucking pretty. Jesus Christ. I'm seeing evidence that people hated his hair, but I think it looked fine. However, my viewing of TW/Clark's hair is tempered by [spoiler]foreknowledge of the merciless haircut that I know we'll see him with sometime later this season[/spoiler].

Yessss. The Chloe/Clark scene in the Torch... she had to explain to him why keeping Pete's secret was a Bad Thing, instead of a Show of Friendship. Hmm. It's starting to get complicated.
I liked his hair too. I forget which scene it was, but we got to see the back of his head...and it's just so thick and wavy and Lex really, really needs to sink his fingers into it and hold on.
