Smallville

[hils]

I think I'm possibly the only person in the fandom that didn't loathe this episode. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like it, but there's definitely a positive spin to put on it especially if you're a Clexer. I'll get to that in a minute. First of all here's some of the stuff I mentioned to lexalicious70 in a running commentary I treated her to while I was watching

Ronald!!! Hee! Ronald is The Toymaker and I totally sussed who it was before they started using the name. My, he's come a long way since unamed LuthorCorp IT techie back in Season 3 ;)

Clark and Lana broke the bed with sex. Ick!

Clark gets angry that Oliver has been lying to him. Well, now you know how Lex felt!

And here's the positive thing. Lex's whole goal was to break up Clark and Lana. Why? Because he wants Clark all to himself of course. Really, this episode was all about ending the Clana so the Clex can continue. Of course Lex isn't dead. I don't care what they say you don't kill off Lex Luthor. Besides, why would Michael be in talks for possibly coming back for the finale if Lex was dead. He'll be fine, just you see.

And I have no issue with a Lex that isn't Michael. He was all bandaged up anyway. If they'd had an actor wandering around pretending to be Michael that would have been different. The one eye we could see looked like him anyway ;)

I cried at the end. Not because I was sad about the end of Clana but because yet again Clark was crying and I can't bear it.

So, there we go. I certainly didn't hate it as much as last week so I won't be abandoning ship just yet.

When does Lois get back?

Edit: Plus, did you see Clark's face when the truck blew up? And his face when he let the ashes run through his fingers? He loved Lex, even at the end.

Edit2: Think about it. This whole episode was about the Clex. Oliver killed Lex because he was jealous of him. Lex got rid of Lana because he was jealous of her. Poor Clark was caught in the middle

I was fine with it. There were parts I quite enjoyed.

My favourite part was Clark letting the ashes fall through his fingers. Lex may have done bad things, but Clark will always love him.

Bye, bye, Lana. Don't let the barn door hit you on the way out.

Lois should be back (and the plot back on track) March 5 when the next episode airs.

Yes, I really do think this episode was all about the clex. Oliver killed Lex because he was jealous. Lex got rid of Lana because he was jealous. Poor Clark was just caught in the middle

Awesome.... You might be right.

I just posted my little comments a short time ago. I actually liked the episode.

WHEE! See, it's not all bad.

YAY! So glad it wasn't just me

I liked it too. BTW, I'm glad Oliver called Chloe on the dead guy at the hospital. Personally, I think it was Brainiac, but I don't think she's so sure now. Continuity in Smallville. Who'da thunk it?

I did wonder about that scene with Chloe. I kind of think it was half her and half Brainiac. Like she thought about doing it and he gave her the push she needed.

Yeah...same here!
I believe this episode had so much Clex!
I loved the Chlark scene...Clark's eyes was so red like he was crying earlier and he didn't want Lex to die!He was soooo cute!
Chloe said that he is living in the past and he wants to believe that Lex is still the same guy he saved on tha bridge...
Aww Clark...you still don't give up on him!

So sweet!

I didn't mind it either but then I knew what was going to happen as I guessed. The way Clark's mouth went when they kissed goodbye made me feel a bit sick and to be honest if I was a human male I wouldn't touch Krypto-Lana with a barge pole. Still at least she's finally gone. Oh and of course Lex isn't dead.
