  • Aw, what were they thinking? :(

    "Mediocre"

    Lana with Clark's powers? Ridiculous. She's awful enough as it is. The way she obtained the powers was stupid and the way she lost the powers was so dumb, I can't believe they wrote that in a script and got these actors to act it out.

    I'm being harsh. I did like a couple of things about this episode. I think Lois and Grant would make a great couple. They seem to have chemistry and I love it. I don't like the idea that Lois got her great start because Grant is attracted to her. I always thought she became an "ace reporter" based on her great investigative skills. I Loved Loved LOVED the scene at the end where Chloe warned Lana. I had to cheer for Chloe. I'm glad that Clark and Chloe are finallys starting to realize how horrible Lana really is. It's going to take a little more, though, to fully open Clark's eyes. That sex "scene" of Lana and Clark was so ridiculous. I could not stop laughing. They made the whole city shake. I was bugging out when the leaves fell out of the tree.

    I didn't like most of this episode. I am eager to see next week's ep.moreless

    The best and funniest part had to be Clark and Lana having sex in the tree, then Chloe coming in and seeing Lana in Clark's shirt. Also when Lana used her x-ray vision to check Clark out. Lana seeks her revenge on Lex by taking him hostage and torturing him. Making him pay for everything he put her through. Clark finds out what Lana has been hiding from him and shuts down her spying on Luthercoop. I like how Chloe warned Lana to not break Clark's heart. Clark is now having second thoughts on whether or not Lana is the Lana he wants to be with.moreless

  • Even though the power switching has been done before, it was entertaining to finally see it with Lana. It was a surprising enjoyable episode.

    Thought the episode was written well. It was nice to see the lighter side of Clark for once (the beginning scene with him and Lana). It was cute. Clark finally got a chance to see the real Lana, which only showed she was human. It was nice to see someone go the length for Clark once, even if it was a little twisted. It was great to see interaction between Lex and Clark again. I enjoyed the end when Lana said to love her no matter what. Can Clark love her with flaws? Hopefully he will try until he becomes Superman, after this episode it might be a fun ride to watch it. And isn't it about time we get Pete back, he's been gone long enough!! Don't get me wrong, I love Chloe but so far this 7th Season needs something more and I think it's the friendship of Pete and Clark.moreless

    My rating and what I'm about to say may seem contrivercial, but for the record it's my opinion that's just how I feel. Personally I feel this episode is a bit underrated, yes it's not entirely perfect but it still works for what it is none the less.

    It was just a great concept seeing what would happen if Lana ever got Superman's powers. And at first it starts out light and funny, just seeing the reactions Lana has in the basic training of her superpowers. My favorate moment in this half and it's no supprise is the superpowered sex scene, I though it was both erotic and funny both Lana and Clark destroy the barn, cause an earthquake, and the aftermath on what Chloe discovers Lana wearing Clark's shirt was comic gold. I always wondered what would happen if superpowers were utilized during sexual activity, I wasn't disapointed the results were dynomite.

    But then it gets dark as we see Lana abuse her powers even though her intentions were good. And that's basically the theme in the episode how wrath is like a disease you never know it sickens your soul until it's too late. The superpowers Lana inherited weren't just an opportunity to take revenge on Lex but they were a key to unlocking a repressed internal beast within her that is obviously hungry.

    What is interesting and a little sad at the same time is Lana believes despite unethical liberties she has taken they lead to a right. But what Lana fails to conceive is sometimes villians and supervillians aren't always villianess because their evil but because they can't see clearly the corruptive nature of their actions despite good intentions. Lana as we see like Anikin Skywalker in "Star Wars Episode 3" is starting to fall into the darkside fo the force.

    Another of the examples are she's starting to alienate people that care about her. Like Lois when she would help Lana, this of course results in an interesting moment when Lana attacks Lois, always wondered what would happen if the two got into a fight. Or when Chloe presents the discovery of the monitors, we see look on his face which is one of sadness knowing the love of his life has lied to him and more. Clark is beging to fear that Lana is becoming a stranger, and he might not know her as much as he thought.

    Soon Lana gives Lex the asskicking he's been asking for the day he hit her, the interplay between the two is psychologically suspenseful, as we see there is a suspense where we fear she might take it too far which will lead her to becoming a villian and that we know that's not who she is and she knows that's not who she wants to be. Clark knows this as well and proves it to her by protecting Lex and then of course it comes down to one of my favorate moments ever when both Lana and Clark physically fight. It was awdsome,suspenseful and intense never have the two in the Superman mythology fought. Only disapointment was didn't really last long enough but then again I wouldn't want it to get brutal, the two love each other I don't want to see my favorate couple severely hurt one another. The only bad thing about the episode (for me anyway)is one moment when Lana kisses Lex, that moment felt completely out of place (let alone cringe inducing)it just sort of happened for no particualar reason. But this is a minor flaw that I can get past and after that action she felt disgusted with herself.

    Thankfully Lana does come to her senses in the end but the events that took place have made the relationship between the two more complicated and has given both characters Clark and Lana something to think about. Clark wonders from if Lana truely is the one if she is still the same person he knows and loves, while Lana evaluates herself wondering if she is becoming her own worst enimy and losing her own identity.moreless

    This was friggin' funny! This episode made me laugh, cry, get angry. It really toyed with my emotions. Kara wasn't in it. Hoorah for that. Lana & Clark's relationship develops immensely, once she gets Clark's powers. They have sex which causes an earthquake, I wouldn't of expected that from Smallville. Another thing that I liked about this episode, is all of Lex's lines to Clark about Lana. He really is clever. My favorite part is when she attacks Lois. "Someone needs to switch to decaf" I'm really starting to like this Grant character. The end was typical, Clark saves her & it leaves off all awkward. Great cliffhanger. Amazing plot!moreless

    • When Lana is in Clark's room and throws her picture into the mirror, the picture falls out of the frame and lands upside down. However, as Lana goes to pick it up, the picture is facing upwards. Edit
    • Even if Lex's car was many years old, it should have an ABS braking system on his vehicle so his vehicle should not have skid like that. Edit
    • Even before Gabriel hit the emergency stop button on the elevator, the elevator took a really long time to get anywhere. It's doubtful that any elevator with only five levels to go between would take that long to get to the bottom level. Edit

    • Chloe: (to Lana) I want Clark to have that kind of loyalty in his life. But I'm just not sure it's from you. Edit
    • Chloe: Isis seemed to make a lot of sense when I thought you were just set to help people. In textbook talk, Isis is the goddess of love, and life, and healing. She even marched to the ends of the Earth to help the man she loved. Lana: I would do anything for Clark. Chloe: Even kill. What a lucky guy. But what the textbooks left out is that Isis is also the goddess of the underworld. She's responsible for bringing the Great God Ra to his knees. Lana: You believe that I would do that to Clark? Chloe: Not intentionally. But I realize now you're capable of it. You should just know that I'm not going to let that happen. Edit
    • Lex: Lana, wait. Killing me would almost be a release. The only person who would really suffer is you. Lana: From guilt? I think I'll get over it. Edit
