Smallville

[Starsaber]

Episode 709 - Gemini
Christmas episode?
Lex requested Lois for an expose?
2 weeks without Clark? I’m guessing Jor-El’s punishment was to force Clark into training.
Lois has my phone.
Stalker planted a bomb on Chloe? Clarification, it’s not my phone, just the same model.

Lex “playing with his sword” again? OK, the joke doesn’t work as well when he’s fencing with Julian instead of a hot blond.
Escaped clone from LuthorCorp? A failed Julian maybe?
Cut Lois’ Cat 5 cable? Yeah, he covered his bases.
Delivery boy?
Hole punch probably isn’t the best weapon, Lois
“I saw you staring at me.” “Yeah, so? You’re a babe.” OK, not delivery boy.
Scissors in the back? Damn.

Clark’s back?
Sounds like a BS excuse. I don’t remember him losing track of time in the Fortress before.
Lana’s bouncing back.
Clark’s being more open.
Everything? What does Lana know that we don’t?
Reindeer on the Daily Planet globe? Would hate to be the person who had to put those up.
Nice try, Lois, but I bet the clone’s going to see it.
Chloe’s leaving?
Lois sending Clark her warmest should warn Chloe that something’s up.
Speaking of Chloes, there’s SGU Chloe/SheBrainiac.
She’s speaking Kryptonian?
“We’re in the basement. Travel options are kind of limited.” Awkward.
Crap, elevator’s stuck.
Wait, why did they go to the 12th floor? Even if Metropolis has a skywalk, it wouldn’t be that high.

“I haven’t exactly read C4 For Dummies”
Secret Santa present that ticks? “Oh wow, I have the worst Secret Santa ever.” :eek:
OK, not a Julian clone.
Way to change the goal line, Clone Boy. Lex is an expert at covering his ass.
Jimmy’s pissed that Chloe called Clark instead of the cops?
“What’s he going to do, dismantle the bomb with his great hair?”
So, Clark didn’t get the phone call?
Wait, his blue jacket looks a little darker than normal.
“I haven’t seen Ms Lane since I caught her breaking into my office.”
OK, maybe he was a Julian clone, but if he’s aging so quickly, wouldn’t he have known the memories were fake?
If Julian is so perfect, why is Season 10 Lex having rapid aging problems?
Crap, the bomb had a deadman switch.

“Some feedback would be awesome now.” Well, I’d say a makeout session is pretty positive feedback.
Awesome jump, Clark.
LOL at everyone’s reactions when the door opened.
“I just bought the Daily Planet.” Knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but it was well executed.
“My nerd is all natural.”
“Oh god, can you fly?” They’re really hammering flight this year, aren’t they?
So, Chloe feels the pain of whatever wound she heals? That sucks.

And SGU Chloe’s mom is in the same episode? Nice coincidence.
“And I didn’t even drag you to all the places I usually ruin relationships.”
So, is Julian still going to be around a while?
Error message that’s getting closer to loading successfully? Brainiac’s running ScanDisk after Clark blue-screened him, isn’t he?
Clark was actually Bizarro the whole time? Damn. The darker jacket should have been a tip off, but I didn’t really make the connection until they revealed it.

A half step down from the last episode, but it’s still in the top half of the season. Another good cliffhanger with the Bizarro reveal.

[fastcart]

Episode 709 - Gemini
So, Chloe feels the pain of whatever wound she heals? That sucks.

Unfortunately, they never really nailed that down enough for me. She was “dead” when she healed dead Lois, and she feels pain in places of whomever she heals (kinda like Zahn from Farscape I guess). But, can she really die permanently if the damage is too severe or person been dead too long, or can she auto-heal from anything given enough time?

[spoiler]And what would happen if her kryptonite powered ability tried to heal Clark or another Kryptonian?[/spoiler]

Don’t click quote if you do not want to see my spoiler.

[hansioux]

I hate to say this is when this season went down hill for me

[Starsaber]

Episode 710 - Persona
So, if your girlfriend has sex with your clone, would it technically be cheating?
It wouldn’t be breakfast time in Paris.
“You have a lot of powers, Clark, but last I heard, flying wasn’t one of them.” They’re just playing with us now, aren’t they?

Julian’s getting a paternity test? Not a bad idea, since all we have to tell us he’s Julian’s clone is Lex’s word, and that’s not worth the toilet paper it’s written on.
Well, that got Lionel’s attention.
OK, looks like Lex did manage to get Julian’s DNA to clone.
Brainiac is murdering homeless people?
“Chloe’s not the only one that knows her way around a computer.”
Brainiac could tell it was Bizarro right away?
“Try good sunscreen. A wide brimmed hat, perhaps.”
Dax-Ur is still on Earth? Why does Brainiac really want him?

“Another Kryptonian? I’m starting to think that Earth was your home planet’s top tourist destination.” I’ve been saying that for a while now, Chloe.
Oh, of course, the shield is the thing from Fierce.
Awfully green grass around the mansion for it being just after Christmas.
“It’s you I’ve lost.” :eek: Lex and Lionel never have a bad scene together.
Chloe figured it out but Lana refuses to believe her?
Leaving? Guess that’s one way to avoid people noticing “Clark’s” behavior change.
Bizarro going to the Fortress will wake Clark up, won’t it?
Of course Jor-El recognized him.

Lana doesn’t want to believe it, does she?
“I am the Brain Interactive Construct. No matter my form, my intellect remains formidable. Do not underestimate me.” Brainiac is my favorite villain after the Luthors.
Bizarro has fallen for Lana too? Isn’t that pushing it a bit?
Blue K will overload Bizarro? Well, I suppose that makes sense.
Sending Clark after Dax-Ur too? Could that be Brainiac impersonating Lionel?
Brainiac can hear the beacon too? Crap.
“Nobody from around here by that name.” Nice try.

Dax-Ur made Brainiac? I thought they said Jor-El did just a couple episodes ago.
Yeah, Lana, running always works when trying to escape a Kryptonian. :rolleyes:
I suppose delivering the blue K is going to be tough since Clark loses his powers when he holds it.
Bizarro is actually sort of right there.
Lana’s faking agreeing with him to get close, isn’t she?
Woah, love the effects on Bizarro getting destroyed.
Brainiac can mind-probe people now?
“How many times have you been married now anyway?”
Well, let’s see, first Desiree, who tried to kill him, then Helen, who tried to kill him, then Lana who faked her death to try getting him arrested. I think you have a point there, Julian. He’s like a reverse Sam Carter.
Lex staged a mugging to kill Julian? I was finally starting to like him too.
So, Clark didn’t keep any blue kryptonite for when they’re in the mood, did he?

I’m a bit upset that Julian got killed off now, but it isn’t all that surprising. Bizarro getting killed rather than just exiled somewhere a bit more effective is unfortunate, but now we have Brainiac back, so I can live with it. An average episode.

[fastcart]

Episode 710 - Persona

“How many times have you been married now anyway?”
Well, let’s see, first Desiree, who tried to kill him, then Helen, who tried to kill him, then Lana who faked her death to try getting him arrested. I think you have a point there, Julian. He’s like a reverse Sam Carter.

HAHAHAHA!

Episode 711 - Siren
What’s Chloe up to?
Wow, nice throw. What is it with all superheroes being awesome shots even if their powers have nothing to do with dexterity?
TJ has short hair? That’s a bit weird.
Green Arrow!
Some kind of sound wave to disintegrate the arrows?
Nice escape plan, TJ

Things seem a bit cold at the Kent house this morning.
TJ looks odd with dark hair too.
“It was just internet interception… that ended up having a vicious ninja lady attached to it who chased me onto the roof and then almost beheaded me and went rappelling over the side of the building. Which, I’ve got to admit, was really smokin’ cool.”
“So I take it we’re skipping over the whole ‘Hello. Good to see you again.’ part of the conversation.”
“Chloe’s in danger like every other week with you by her side, Clark.” Wouldn’t be interesting TV if she weren’t.
“Maybe Lex has a blond sidekick of his own.” Wow, Ollie’s on fire in this scene.
Lex is paying TJ to “defend” him from Green Arrow?
Who is that behind the desk at the Isis Foundation? She looks a bit like Lana, but Lana doesn’t wear glasses.

Um, Chloe, you probably shouldn’t label the phone number Green Arrow contacts you with as Oliver Queen. Might compromise his identity.
Lana’s calling Clark a hypocrite? Look in the damn mirror.
Lois/Ollie scene? This ought to be good.
“The whole jumping to conclusions thing before getting the whole story, how’s that working out for you?” “Huge time saver.”
“If you think the glistening muscle answering the door in your bare chest routine was going to work… you’re dead on.” Seems awfully soon after Grant’s death for Lois to go back to Ollie.
Um, I think Lois is going to find out Ollie’s secret identity in this episode.
That was uncalled for, TJ.

“I don’t usually bring the compound bow.”
Wow, Lois and Ollie have awesome chemistry. If romantic pairs in the series were based on actor chemistry, I think we’d have Clark/Chloe and Ollie/Lois.
“How do you put up with that?” Bad TJ.
“Lex’s factories aren’t exactly producing Christmas toys for little girls and boys. I’m the good guy!”
“I’m not about to let Oliver poach the best sidekick in town.” Damn right.
So Chloe isn’t a natural blond? Well, that would explain Wonder Woman being her mom.
Lex moved his office from LuthorCorp tower to the Planet? Or does he still have offices both places?
How’d that spin kick work out for you, TJ?
Oh, Clark’s particularly vulnerable to her sound attack because of his super hearing?

That logo was on the mansion window in the alternate reality a few episodes ago. What is it?
Too late, Lana. Clark already pulled Lionel back from the edge too. Luthors just naturally can’t get too far away from it.
“Isn’t the view spectacular? I never really noticed it before with all the glass in the way.” Nice try, Lois, but if they didn’t already know, they probably would have already made the connection.
Love the looks Clark and Chloe gave each other while Lois tried to conceal Ollie’s identity.
Awesome fight scene with Lex, Ollie, and TJ. Love the slow-mo bits when either guy shoots.
Love Clark’s triple save, especially with him letting Lex get hit with the throwing knife.
“Never did make sense how you could blow off a hottie like me.”
LOL at Lois saying she can’t keep a secret. Guess she still has some maturing to do before Season 10.

OK, now there’s a Grant reference.
“You don’t know Ollie like I do. There’s parts of him you’ve never seen.” “That’s a given.” Love Clark’s deadpan delivery there.
Wow at Lois’ breakdown. She’s a much better actress than she was in Season 4.
“Oliver and his boys could always use a den mother.”
So, TJ still doesn’t like Lois.
LOL at Clark blurting out what Kal did between Seasons 2 and 3, but I really wish they would have ended with the Clark/Ollie/TJ scene.

Great episode. The new superhero episodes and power episodes tend to be the best.

[fastcart]

Episode 711 - Siren
Wow, Lois and Ollie have awesome chemistry. If romantic pairs in the series were based on actor chemistry, I think we’d have Clark/Chloe and Ollie/Lois.

I can meet you on Ollie/Lois, but I don’t/can’t see Clark and Chloe as romantic.

Would be funny if their actors hook up now after I’ve said that though. d:

[Starsaber]

Episode 712 - Fracture
You guys warned me about this episode, but I’m going to try going into it with an open mind.

So we’re finally following up on Kara?
Is that Lex? And Lois? Together?
Kara lost the House of El bracelet?
So Lois is soaked, but Kara’s completely dry. I didn’t see a roof over Kara, so that doesn’t make sense.
“Does MacGyver blush every time he walks past me?”
Lex and the guy shot each other?
Wait, “Linda” knows Lex?

Kara clearly doesn’t have her powers.
Lex went from Detroit to Smallville Medical for treatment? What the frak? It’s bad enough when someone goes from Metropolis to Smallville to get medical attention.
Oh, of course, Chloe’s ability.
Mind sifter? Like that episode of DS9?
How is it any less risky for you to do this than Chloe to use her power, Clark?
It’s not going to be that easy, Clark.
And naturally, it’s compatible with Kryptonian brains.

Who is following Clark?
They can’t see Clark in the memory?
Lex was playing Kara to try getting access to her mind?
I guess Clark was right in Slumber. “In our dreams, we’re all super.”
Alexander? I don’t trust him yet.
There’s that V symbol again. Huh.
Lionel beat Lex?
Veritas?
Wow, this really emphasizes how much Lionel has changed.

You know, a couple seasons ago, a Lex/Kara relationship would have been really interesting.
“I guess we’ll find out if I have a fear of flying.”
What happened to Kara’s arm anyways?
Smooth, Lois.
So, Evil Lex took Clark to a memory of him having sex with Lana? :eek:
Clark found Lex’s GPS? Nice.
Lex is going to kill ALexander? He really is irredeemable.
“Just trust me, Mr. Luthor, I can.” So, Chloe’s going to have to use her power after all.

It seems like Alexander is trying to keep Clark trapped.
So Clark won’t tell Lionel about Chloe’s power, or does he just not think he has time?
Naturally, Lois and Kara escaped just as the bad guy got back.
Nice save, Clark.
Not even a bandage? Oh, wait, Chloe’s power. Of course.
The healing drug from last season as cover? Nice continuity.

“Lois didn’t see me … you know dead, did she?”
You know, if I hadn’t seen Season 10, I’d be worried about Chloe pushing too far too.
“Do you even know when you’re lying any more?”
So Kara still doesn’t have her memory.

Not as bad as you guys made it out to be, but still the worst episode of the season so far.

[fastcart]

Episode 712 - Fracture

You know, if I hadn’t seen Season 10, I’d be worried about Chloe pushing too far too.

Yeah, having foreknowledge can suck, but it can still be interesting/entertaining seeing how the show reaches this point.

[Starsaber]

Episode 713 - Hero

Jimmy, did you lie to Kara and say you two were actually dating?
Pete?
Concert in a gum factory? Why?
Kryptonite gum? Seriously? Contamination or intentional?
And now he can stretch?
Nice timing on Jimmy’s picture

“At least Kara didn’t forget how to use up all the hot water.”
Weird to see Clark, Lana, and Lionel talking in the kitchen.
I bet Pete will be surprised how close Clark and Lionel are now.
One of the figures from Lex’s memory? Nice
Why did Lex add the Veritas logo to his window?
Kara trusts Lex over Clark? :eek:
Using Kara to try translating the cave? Thought he was past that by now.
Well, that’s one way to load the truck.
Didn’t Clark buy a new red truck last season? I don’t remember it getting wrecked, but now he has a blue one.
Lionel was the cause of Pete’s parents getting divorced?
Pete and Clark both sound a bit bitter there.
“I finally brought my game to your level, Clark.”
Did Pete just try to blackmail Clark? This won’t end well.

“You ditched him for Clark?” Way to get the wrong impression, Jimmy.
Nice recovery on “meteor freak” though.
Elastic Man?
Lex hijacked Chloe’s computer?
“Chloe, I’m glad to see someone’s taking advantage of my open door policy.”
I think we need the Watchtower soon. Can’t exactly use Chloe’s desk for Justice League assignments if Lex can monitor it.
Jimmy doesn’t know Clark knows about Chloe, does he?
“OK, Pete, I get the whole reach for the stars mentality and right now you actually could reach a few of those stars.”

What’s Kara going to find?
I thought Kara’s bracelet had the \S/, not the \8/.
Callback to the tattoo? Nice continuity this season.
Yeah, they need to tell Kara soon.
What’s Pete up to?
Well, if we don’t get Watchtower soon, Chloe could probably use the back room at the Isis Foundation.
“Something tells me you know what it’s like to love a woman who’s still infatuated with Clark Kent.” Damn.
Lex is threatening Chloe’s job to get Pete to steal the bracelet?
Oh, not her job, but I bet that’s not off the table. If she does lose her job, would Lana hire her for “media relations” at Isis, or would Ollie hire her first?
“Go, go, Gadget Arms.” Nice pull, Chloe.

Seems to be going too easy so far.
Didn’t Lex pick up the bracelet last episode? Maybe Lionel took it while Lex was still in the coma.
Is Pete going to try killing Lex?
So no gum == no power?
Guess Pete learned from his mistake.

Is Chloe going to heal Pete?
Time for Jimmy to get the wrong impression once again.
And now a Gumby reference from Jimmy.
So Chloe and Jimmy are just getting back together now? I thought the kiss in Persona was them getting back together.
The stars in the Veritas symbol aligned the day of the meteor shower?
Kara’s moving into the mansion? I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Kara hasn’t worn red and blue since she lost her memory, has she?
Surprised Lex didn’t smirk as he shut the door.

Well, this was toward the bottom half of the season, but there were a few interesting bits.

[fastcart]

That whole episode was an advertisement for the gum. Low point in the series for me.

[Starsaber]

Episode 714 - Traveler
Another Veritas letter?
Looks like Lionel doesn’t like what’s in it.
The Key looks bigger now. Maybe it’s just a perspective thing.
Kryptonite dart?
Chief?
Shit, that’s not good.

Why did Clark grab the key instead of running to the Fortress?
This isn’t Brainiac’s style and Lex doesn’t know about kryptonite, so who’s behind this?
How did the bars and floor become kryptonite on command?
Maybe the bars are tubes that are fed by a tank of liquid kryptonite.
Swann’s daughter?
Swann, Lionel, the Teagues (!), and the Queens (!!)? Guessing that was Veritas?
Was Old Lois (Bridget or whatever it was) Pattie’s mom?
Lionel killed the Queens? At that time, I could buy him being responsible for it.
“Turn over the Son of Krypton.” :eek:
Pattie is a bit of a hardass.
Wow, Chloe did some thorough work on Kara’s history.
Is Lex pushing the Summerholt procedure on Kara?
Wait, she doesn’t have her powers now, so she probably wouldn’t have a violent reaction to it.
Lionel built the kryptonite cage? I was starting to trust him.

Lana, the office would be a lot more crowded if everyone who knew about Clark’s reaction to kryptonite was there. Pete, Martha, the Angel of Vengeance, and the Justice League for starters. Oh and on a random note, why hasn’t the League recruited the Angel of Vengeance?
Lionel is blaming Kara for Clark’s abduction? Crapbag.
“If he harms Clark, I will kill him.”
Wow, Chloe found out quick.
Chloe and Lana are going to take Kara to the Fortress?
Lex’s escape tunnels? I was thinking of calling up Bart, but that works too.
With her hair down, Pattie actually looks a bit cute.

“If you’re looking for some validation of your artistic talent as a child, it’s a little late, isn’t it?”
“The rich have secret societies, the others have poker nights.”
Chloe’s car changed colors too.
Convincing Kara was surprisingly easy.
Chief’s a dick. Chief of security for 33.1? I can see that, but why would Lionel hire him?
“Whatever Jor-El is, I don’t think he’s here right now.”
Nice impassioned speech from Chloe.

Won’t the kryptonite hurt Kara too?
Glad Pattie still has some humanity left.
Why does she want Clark? Does she think Lionel’s trying to turn him into the Clark Luthor from Season 10?
Chief’s going rogue? Well, that’s not a surprise.
“It’s not human.” :eek:
Kara wasted time changing?
Nice solution to the kryptonite problem.
Good hit, Lionel.
Ouch, didn’t expect Chief to get impaled.

Swann’s journal? That introduces all types of interesting possibilities.
“The Traveler will bring great change to the Earth.”
So much for Clark trusting Lionel.
OK, I was wrong about Pattie. Suppose it’s just a reflex since she has history with the Luthors. Hope we see her more.
“Why would you even build that thing?” Good question, Clark.
They killed Pattie already?
Lex killed her? Did he figure out he wouldn’t be able to play her and decide she was a liability?

Damn good episode. Nice twist with Lionel being responsible for abducting Clark. From SHoE, I know this was originally the lead up to the finale because of the writer’s strike, and it really felt like that too.

Oh, and I posted this on the “just frakkin awesome” thread, but it probably fits better here.

Episode 714 - Traveler

“If he harms Clark, I will kill him.”

I’ve been waiting for that line. To me, this was Lana at her darkest. You saw the look Chloe gave her. And, the “Oh s***” look Lionel tried to hide?

When I get a montage of Lana going in my head (and it happens sometimes), this line/scene stands out.

[hansioux]

Traveler = lots of Lionel => awesome episode. let’s hope we get a few more in season 10.

[fastcart]

Traveler = lots of Lionel => awesome episode. let’s hope we get a few more in season 10.

I’m not too keen on an evil-er earth 2 Lionel. I liked old Lionel’s story of attempted redemption.

However, I suppose earth 2 Lionel could give us a semblance of who Lex is/was/will supposed to be.

It is nice to have/see him again in any case though. Now, if they would just bring back Chloe…

[Starsaber]

It is nice to have/see him again in any case though. Now, if they would just bring back Chloe…

Didn’t you see her in the trailer for the next episode?

[fastcart]

Didn’t you see her in the trailer for the next episode?

Vaguely remember. And, I dunno whether it was another flashback or not.

[Starsaber]

Well, I had an accidental double feature tonight. I figured I’d watch the teaser for Descent before I came up to type Veritas, and my jaw was still on the floor after “Save Me”. I’m going to need to find a transcript of Descent or something, because I didn’t even rewind for quotes. I’ll post Veritas now, but Descent might take a little longer.

[Starsaber]

Episode 715 - Veritas
That bird seems awfully inquisitive.
And Shelby doesn’t sound happy.
Brainiac? Did Shelby react to him that way before?
You’d think he wouldn’t try the same trick on Kara that he tried on Clark back in Season 5.
He wants to go back to Krypton before it was destroyed? Got a bad feeling about that.
Love how Clark didn’t even talk, he just threw Brainiac through the water tank.
“If we’d done this my way, no one would’ve gotten hurt.” Somehow I doubt that.

Kara hasn’t met him before, so why did she call him Brainiac instead of the Brain Interactive Construct? I thought Brainiac was a Chloeism.
Nice theory, Clark. I wondered if Zor-El might have been one of Zod’s allies too.
Flying lessons? Well, considering how poorly the Season 10 one went, I don’t expect much (except maybe some humor).
“Big Cool Headline Here.” Good to see Lois again.
“I know this will shock you, but Clark called and Chloe ran off on some big secret project.”
Who sent Lois the info about Pattie?
Did Clark’s trip into Lex’s head unlock that memory?
Young Lex, Pattie, Jason, and Ollie? Nice, but the bow is a bit overkill. We probably could have figured it out without that anvil.
Guess they couldn’t get Jane Seymour for this episode.
Nice filming around Swann.
Pattie’s locket had the key?
“Is it boundless courage you have or incorrigible stupidity?” “Potato, Potahto.”
Nice detective work, Jimmy.
LOL at Lionel calling Jimmy and Lois the Dynamic Duo.
There are multiple Veritas Keys?
So much for the flying lessons.
Brainiac’s brain probe isn’t as cool as Replicators just sticking their hands into people’s foreheads.
Into Lana’s eyes too? Ugh.

Don’t blame yourself, Clark.
“You already destroyed the life of one son. You don’t get a second chance.”
Lionel is surprisingly sincere here.
“you’re less human than I am.”
Is Lana lobotomized or is that Brainiac pretending to be her?
Same thing the stone did to Lionel?
Kara’s going to deliver herself to Brainiac, isn’t she?

So now Jimmy and Lois know about Proto-Watchtower?
“This bank held off the Third Reich, the Sicilian Mafia, and Al-Quaeda. With all due respect, I’m fairly certain they won’t bow to you.”
Only 2 keys? And Swann trusted Lionel with one of them?
OK, guess not.
This flashback was the morning of the meteor shower? Nice.
Of all the things Kara got from Clark, why did it have to be his guilt complex?
Wow, Brainiac’s being more vicious than he was before.
Cool effect on Kara and Brainiac flying into space.

“Amazing how a couple of cold-blooded murders can come between people.”
Love this Chloe/Lionel scene.
Wow, can’t think of the last time Chloe was this cold (emotionally, not Fortress Icebox)
Thought Chloe might have started to believe Lionel for a second there.
Looks like Brainiac didn’t live up to his end of the bargain.

Great episode, but the last scene seemed a bit out of place. They should have swapped it with the Brainiac/Kara scene on top of the Planet with them flying to Krypton.

Should have Descent up within a half hour or so.

[Starsaber]

Episode 716 - Descent

Great Lex/Lionel scene
“You sacrificed me for the Traveler. Why?”
Telling Lex he is the Traveler? Nice try.
“You have survived mortal injuries so many times. How else can you explain it?”
“I was raised in your shadow. Now you’re going to die in mine.”
The extreme closeup of Lex’s eye with Lionel falling away in the reflection was awesome.
Holy frakking shit! Best teaser ever!

Trying to track Brainiac and Kara with radar? Another nice try.
Lex is such a cold bastard now. Love it.
What’s with the sudden blurring around Lex?
Alexander?
Wow, Lex is doing a good job keeping the act up.
Seems like Lex’s aide is trying to get a bit too close to him.
I do like the continuity of Lex having the same aide all season. Would’ve been cool if it had been Tess.
She figured out that Lex pushed Lionel? Is Lex going to kill her now?
No key? Did Lionel slip it into Chloe’s desk?
Wow, Alexander is pushing Lex over the edge, isn’t he?

Police tape across a window 40 stories up again? Still seems a bit redundant to me.
What’s Clark looking for?
That looks like the box from Luthor.
With those symbols, it’s a good thing Clark found that before Lex did or he never would have seen it.
The Veritas lockbox would let Lex control Clark?

Love Lois’ rant here.
Lionel falling is in the background of the picture? A bit unbelievable, but nice.
Naturally they can’t tell it was Lex.
Lois and Jimmy are going to use Proto-Watchtower?
Um, butter hide the key, Chloe.
Tonight? The Lana scene at the end of Veritas was daytime. Guess I was right about how out of place it was.
Damn, Chloe should have put it in her pocket.
Well, expected Chloe to get fired soon, but not over this.
Chloe beat me to the punch asking about her stuff.
How much does Gina know?
Crap, bad timing on Jimmy’s text. Now if he called instead… [/my usual rant about texting being redundant]
“She’s not Hellen Keller, she’ll get the message.”

Gina shot Lois?
Jimmy, you should have lied.
“I guess trying to take on one of Lex Luthor’s fembots doesn’t make me the smartest icicle in the freezer.”
I’m assuming Gina took their phones?
Um, Clark, bad timing on leaving Isis.
Low blow from Lex talking about Jonathan.
Rosenbaum is owning this episode.
Lex has got to find out the secret soon.
Damn, this scene got me worked up.

There goes the proof.
Gina heard everything?
Nice diffuse heat vision from Clark to warm up Lois and Jimmy.
Who just took out Gina?

Is Lex going to “kill” Alexander?
He threw Alexander into the fire?
Wonder if there’s a connection between that and Clone Alex throwing the figure in the fire in Season 10.
Oddly placed cemetary.
Interesting that Clark crumbled dirt over Lionel’s grave the same way he did Jonathan’s.

Just frakking epic. Maybe my favorite episode ever. So many intense scenes.
