Recurring Role |
Chloe pulls her red car up at the Kent Farm. This scene is the same scene as when Chloe pulls up in the Kent Farm in the episode "Fever."
How does the blinded Clark know when to jump off of the moving truck and conveniently behind cover before it stops?
When Clark jumps onto the truck there are a whole bunch of people around but no one seems to find it strange that a blind teenager (or any body else) would be on the back of a truck.
In the beginning Lana goes in the store immediately after the robbery. How did she get there so fast? And how did she know Clark went inside the store, rather then just walking by outside window-shopping or something?
It's hard enough to believe that Clark can get around without stumbling and tripping while newly blind, but him jumping onto the back of a moving tow truck that he can't see is completely unbelievable.
When Clark gets his new glasses, you can see he gets out of the room at the same time as Jonathan and Martha, but in the next shot he is walking out backwards from the same room, and his parents are already outside.
In one scene Clark says the hearing is in an hour and then we switch to a scene with Chloe and Lionel in Metropolis and it is dark. Then the next scene is at the courthouse and still daytime.
Nathan has to manipulate his throat with his fingers to activate his powers the first two times - the third time at the auto junkyard, he doesn't have to, and there's no discernable change in the strength of his "scream" or his ability to use it.
Jonathan claims that Clark, while blind, would be able to continue attending all his normal classes. But his blindness would most likely make him unable to participate in physical education classes.
So exactly how did Jonathan "handcuff" their new doctor so he didn't figure out anything about Clark's super-powers? The guy didn't take a blood test or blood pressure test or anything? Unless the Kents are going to start claiming they're Christian Scientists or something similar, it seems kinda unlikely.
It's pretty unlikely, even given some vague period of time after her initial horse-stompin' incident, that Lana would be walking pretty much normally as she does repeatedly throughout the episode.
Lex walks in to Clark's loft in the middle of a conversation about his super-powers - there doesn't seem any way he could have missed all of the conversation.
Has anybody ever seen a tow truck that uses a dot for a phone number (555.0177)? '555-0177' is pretty standard in the U.S. - maybe it's a Canadian thing?
Does Lana not know what Lex has been going through? She gripes because he didn't come to see her - he was locked up and undergoing experimental electroshock therapy.
Jonathan and Clark drive into town, stop at The Talon, and Jonathan goes in to "get an update." What the heck is he going to get updated on there?
So...they go to the hospital to get Clark a pair of glasses? Apparently there's no Lenscrafters and one-hour service in the 45,000 sized town of Smallville.
Are Chloe and Lionel really sending information back and forth using e-mail? Chloe says she'd been glad to e-mail the information to Lionel, but that really isn't a very secure way to exchange top-secret info.
Despite the fact Metropolis is supposedly in Kansas, we see a clear shot of the Canada Place at the coast of Vancouver.
Lana: So I got a letter from the insurance carrier. Apparently my entire medical bill has been taken care of.
Lex: Well, who said all insurance companies are evil? It wasn't your fault, Lana, it was mine. I pushed you into the stall. I spooked the horse.
Lana: Lex, you were...
Lex: Crazy?
Lana: Not yourself.
Pete: (to Lana and Clark) Whoever said absence makes the heart grow fonder obviously hasn't met the two of you.
Jonathan: Last time we trusted a doctor, she sold his blood to Lionel Luthor.
Lionel: You have to look at Clark Kent as a work in progress.
Clark: What's the worst that could happen - I go to school and walk through a wall?
Lex: So he thinks I'm just going to, uh, sit in my office and twiddle my thumbs?
Clark: No, his exact words were "sharpening pencils."
After we hear dialog about Pete's mom at the court house we switch to an outside view. The building we are looking at is stock footage of the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
Music: "Cold and Empty" by Kid Rock.
This is the first episode we see of Clark getting glasses that he will wear to conceal his identity as Superman.
Jonathan: Can you hear me? Good.
Highly reminiscent of the Verizon Wireless slogan that was used in conjunction with Smallville/Verizon advertisements in season four.
Martha: You two are not supermen!
Another foreshadowing to the Superman legend.
