Loved it? Hated it? What did you think of Wrath?

[xrayvision]

Post your opinion of Wrath and rate it (1 = worst, 10 = best).

[AM4lois]

Hey, xrayvision, just a question, isn't the lowest rating supposed to be on the bottom? Like 10 to 1, instead of 1 to 10? Sorry, it's a stupid question, really... Just thought it was different, really... Sorry. :\

[Dodge006]

Not bad, gave it a 9. Very strong start, but bad Lana acting lowered it a point.

[Jlvsclrk]

Another wow. I won't spoil, but I laughed so hard at one point and teared up at another. Great performances from all the core cast. Clark so confused, Lana so..., Lex so convinced he's right. And I absolutely loved Chloe's resolution at the end.

[redraven]

Great episode. I gave it a 9, simply because I was prepared for being absolutely disappointed, I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was great, everyone delivered their lines well. I loved the music they used, and the good Clana scenes had a bigger impact for me than the angsty ones. (Like the last scene for example, very angsty, which was like Hidden all over again for me :\)

And I can't wait for Lex to realize how wrong he really is. :lol: But another thing that bothered me--Clark STILL doesn't know about the fake baby. :mad: Come on now, if any episode was the one where he should have found out, this one was it.

Oh, and Chloe really got on my nerves this episode. :\

[Ilovebeinglost]

Chloe was great. She let Lana know in no uncertain terms that she will not allow Lana to take down Clark in her efforts to get back at Lex.

Go Chloe!!!

[Twitch]

I gave it a 9 as well. I really liked this episode! Acting was great.

[Alexander III]

I gave it an 8 coz of the sex/earthquake scene! :lol:

[Smallvilledabest]

I gave it a 10. Lana's my Girl

[mctor]

Fantastic episode!!!!! I gave it a 10(my second this year)

I dont think I have ever laughed so hard in an episode of smallville in my life(I think everyone knows the scene I am talking about)I will never be able to look at falling leaves without a little smirk

All around the acting was Fantastic...Loved the scene with Lana and Chloe towards the end

[Overlord101]

Ill be the first to say it, I really didnt like this episode. I loved every part with clark chloe and lex, but lana just ruined the episode for me. Alot of people hated Lana last season, but to tell you the truth, I could not stand her in this episode. I dont know why. I just loved how close Clark was to getting angry at her near the end of the episode but then he just forgives her like that. I gave it 6/10. I didnt hate this ep, I just dont like the new clark + lana this season.

[Dee]

I loved it! It just made me giggle through-out the entire episode. Everyone did a really good job, but I think KK really stepped up this episode- she went from being quire sweet with Clark, to very demanding with Grant and Lex.

Job well done. The only thing that annoyed me was Chloe acting as Clark's keeper. Her confrontation with Lana was not what I expected (well that's what I get for believing Ausiello on TV Guide).

Overall, this was a very enjoyable episode. I hope TPTB can see you can Clana interaction and it doesn't always have to angsty, it can be light and a lot more fun for everyone!

[kiariclois]

Well, definitely a 1.

Ridiculous. and the only good thing about the epi was having to watch Lois.

[BeatlesRule]

I gave it a 2. The someone else gets Clark's powers has been done before. It was just silly and boring.

[cxianet]

On the other hand, it can be seen as continuity, something that Smallville is absolutely terrible at.

[kiariclois]

I remember Lois (in the comics) having Clark's power. and she never misuse her gifts. I reckon this is why Lana isn't an ideal girlfriend. *sigh*

[DreadShamus]

5... and that might be too nice.

Lana's use of the powers was too skilled, and overall it felt like a pointless story in the long run. Maybe 4 minutes of actual importance.

[xHerox]

Going into this episode I wasn't expecting much at all, figuring it was okay to have one bad episode after so many good ones the past few weeks. However, I quickly learned that my notions were completely wrong after watching just the first act of this episode!

While undeniably campy, I thought this episode was very fun. Overall, I gave the episode a '7' rating because while it started strong, I felt the end wasn't nearly as good as it could have been. Still, this episode really gives me confidence for future episodes; the plot wasn't particularly great but the writers were still able to make it important to the overall storyline and work it some excellent dialogue.

[xaosthry]

The Grant/Lois thing is irritating as hell. But LOVED Lois Joan Jett audition line. Glad to know Lois has great taste in music.

BadLana is great. This girl is slowly slipping off the deep end. Everyone can see it but BDA. (Go figure)

Clark, well he really needs to pull his head out of his @ss. Think it's coming.

Chloe is the sh!t. The confrontation was just the beginning. I have a feeling she is going to play it nice and cool, until Lana finally pushes her over the edge.

Good episode.

[MidgardDragon]

I gave it an 8. Kind of like "Cure" in that there was some very cool stuff there but it didn't immediately click with me. It was nice to have that feeling of a simple character story back again, though. Clark finding out about Lana and not knowing what to think about her was great. It just wasn't up to the brilliance of Bizarro, Kara, or Lara. I guess that's the theme this year, if it has a character name in the title then it's gonna rock. :lol:

[monel49]

For the first half hour, I would have given this ep a 7, but the final score is a 9 because of the great way Lana's character has developed and Lex's and Clark's wrestling with the changes in the woman they love. Also, the coup de grace--Chloe's great face off with Lana at the end; namely, that she's not going to let Lana hurt Clark. Great storytelling. Let's hope the writer's strike ends soon so this fine season can keep going strong.

[gategod]

8 because there is no 8.5 ^.^

Lana showing clark she is crazy and Clark seeing it!!! so great

[redeem147]

I think this is the best episode of the season thusfar. Everyone was on top of their game, from the actors to the DOP.

[Randy G.]

It's a trick to get you to vote wrong. :eek: :lol: (Just kidding by the way.)

[SmallFarmGirl]

I think it's the best epi so far too. So many great quotes, so much sarcasm. But most importantly some of the issues that needed addressing and things that needed to be said finally were.

[STFanatic]

I always knew Lana was better than Clark at everything :rolleyes:

Though there were some humorous parts at the first, the easy way they had Lana being better at having super Powers than Clark part rubbed me the wrong way.
It is like all the training Clark did to control his powers was for nothing. Maybe girls do develop faster than boys, Lana did it in seconds.

Lana must have Sylar type abilities to know how everything works when it comes to powers.

[MidgardDragon]

Um, at what point was Lana better? She used them in different ways (such as the kung fu) but I didn't see any super-jumps or amazing feats of heroism. Also, she used them in an unrestricted manner in an attempt to *kill*. That's not something we want Clark to do, is it? I certainly don't.

[Darth Pipes]

I was worried that this show had nothing left after the first few episodes but I'm glad I was wrong. The show has been really good lately and tonight was no exception.

Lana's definitely been more interesting this season than in previous. This was a good storyline to give her with her gaining Clark's powers. She also said something to Clark that I'm glad she said. How many people would have been saved if he had had the guts to take out Lex?

Clark not trusting Lana did cause a lot of problems. But it was Lana who decided to get into bed with a pyscho like Lex. So I'm not blaming Clark for that one. She knew better than to trust Lex.

Good stuff all around from all the characters.

[Markd329]

I gave it a 9, despite some glaring plot miscues, but it did a lot of referencing to a season 1 episode, plus the clever set-up for Braniac's return.

Watching Clark and Lana try to be honest with each other was painful, this will ultimately doom the relationship.

I have one other question, Where the hell was Kara?

[Mello Penelo]

Hated it. I gave it a 4/10. Each episode just gets worse and worse.

[paolinki25]

I'll give a 6. Weak storyline, though the Clex scenes were very good.

[STFanatic]

Lana used x-ray vision perfectly, Clark saw all the way to the skeleton the first time and it gave him headaches, Lana used concentrated heat vision without even practicing, while Clark almost burned down a classroom and the Talon. She also did the super speed running just moments after gaining the powers and stopped on a dime and didn't even mess up her hair.

I liked the episode, but my point is, they made it too darn easy for her while Clark had to spend time learning to control the powers. A little more time on her learning the powers and less on the wanton destruction IMO would have been much more enjoyable.

[CeeJ]

Hmmm.... Wow. I'm not sure. There was some cool stuff, like the Braniac ooze trying to get out of the jar, but then it would go straight to ???? like, since when does Braniac need a host (although the black eyes were cool) - granted, we don't KNOW that it's Braniac, but Lex all but told us when he said it was the final remains of Milton Fine's ship.
Another cool part was the transference of powers between Clark and Lana, but that was a little down because it came so fast in the eppi with little buildup, plus, it's been done several times before.
I hated all the new hairdo's.
Is Lana looking old?
Lois and Grant's lines seemed staged, but then I've never really liked that setup - I take that back, I REALLY don't like Grant and I've never really cared for Lois, especially lately, and the two of them together - yuck.
Lana's line "All you do is hide out on the farm." That was good.
And Lex confronting both Lana and Clark about Lana's feelings for him "the one thing about obsession is it outlasts everything - even love" was that a double meaning? "It will outlast not only Clark and Lana's love for each other, but also Lex's love for Lana as well."
Chloe's scene at the end where she basically (IMO) told Lana to watch out 'cause she was about to take Clark away from her - I almost cheered. FINALLY, she's growing some backbone in her love life.
So, all in all, ups and downs kinda balance themselves out and I'll give it one extra point just because I loved Chloe, so ..... um... 6.

Oh yeah, I agree with this. That aspect of this episode did bother me. Talk about instantaneous mad skills!

[double L]

I voted 5, it had some good scenes, but overall not great. It really just had too much Lana.

The Clex scenes as usual were great, and Chloe telling Lana they way it is was good to see.

Lois was good, but seeing her with Grant is bad, I just hope that ends very soon.

Everybody knows that Lana is nuts, why can't Clark just hurry up and realize this as well?:confused:

[Saber]

:lol: Well that puts a new meaning to “I want to rock your world”.

I am getting very frustrated with the clana and Lex triangle droning. They just don’t move past this, it’s a broken record in every episode. Where is the superhero man, I just want to see a glimmer of hope that my seven years of interest in this show will produce some kind of super-hero. Not just a love crazed hero and villain.
But there were some truths that were aired. Clark hiding on the farm when he could be doing so much more with his power, Lana basically called Clark a cop-out.
Lana being more scornful due to the men she hooked up with, both men using her for selfish reasons and she allowed it.
So for that, I gave this episode a 7 and a solid 8 for the... ummm…stamina. :p

[CeeJ]

I think he's starting to. well, my fingers are crossed at least. that last scene between he and lana - it was like he would almost say "get away from me you crazy woman!!!" but then he would stop himself and say "but i love you so much! you're the beautiful fairy princess!"
seriously!!! all that stepping around the issue was making me seasick!
I think all signs are pointing towards things moving in that direction, though. (clark getting sick of lana, i mean - and, dare i hope? finally noticing chloe?!!!)

[LoveHurts38]

I gave it a 5 it was okay....did laugh with the Lana super powers..best thing Chloe telling Lana...

[ClarkyBoy14]

I would give it a 9.5, but I can't, so it gets bumped to a ten.

I was very pleasantly surprised w/ this ep. Lana w/ super powers wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. The continuity was great, and I loved the mentioning of past characters. Some great character interactions. And BRAINIAC!

[Smit6178]

I gave it a 1. There were some things I liked but the things I didn't like were so bad it weighed the episode down heavily. For starters Clark was too much of a wuss, even compared to how he usually is. It killed one of the few things I did like about the episode: Lana has been exposed. The Lois/Grant stuff continues to be a storyline I loathe with each passing episode. And why would the hospital staff just let a patient walk out like that?
I also don't like that Clark and Lana had superpowered sex just to make the audience laugh.

What continuity? Last time it happened Clark lost his powers, and all they do to cover it up is by saying "the transference wasn't complete."

[spideyfan]

I gave it a 8 b/c it degraded Lana and also b/c Chloe rocked at the end...It should have been a 7/10 otherwise...

[babyluthor]

I loved this episode! Might be my favorite so far of this season. I know a lot of people didn't like how Lana was able to use all the powers as good as Clark when it took Clark years to master them, but I'm not picky about this. For all we know the lightning gave Lana the exact powers and knowledge of how to use them. It's always fun when another person gets the powers and we see what they do with them.

I love how Lana played the evil part in this episode. You can see Clark and Lana are breaking apart. Down with Clana! :) She was going overboard with her actions this episode. I was like, "Chloe get in there and kryptonite her a$$" haha.

I loved the Chloe/Lana confrontation at the end. I can tell this is going to build into some great episodes! 10!

[cxianet]

Yeah. That was a little bothersome. For me, it definitely lost a couple of points.

Still, for Smallville, the idea that something in the past is happening again (even if it's a half-assed, lame explanation) is better than what we normally get.

Or would you rather we have another FotW episode?

I gave this ep an 8. It certainly puts paid to any question of whether Clark and Lana have been sleeping with each other. Maybe in the same bed (or room), but not in a carnal way. Talk about the earth moving :lol:

But AFAIC, any episode without Kara is a great episode for me.

[CLanaF23]

i really liked it..but i dont like wat they are tryna do to clana..its such a rip off..but i loved the Clana opening scenes....the "sex part" i just love clana :)

lana is not crazy..she just wants to see lex dead and i dont blame her... lex is a jerk and he really screwed her head up...

[pleasenoclois]

-Love crazy/evil Lana though there was way too much of her in this epi.
-Liked Chloe warning Lana, would have liked it better if she had gone off on her more. People should stop complaining about her getting in Clark's business. Lana and Clark both put her there all the time and she IS Clark's friend after all.
-Hated Lana saying 'it's just Chloe' like she has no significance what-so-ever
--Like Lois with Grant but they need to show more of the two together to make it believable.
-Like the new Lex, whether or not it is for real.
-Can't stand how blind Clark is.
-And Clana earthquakes EW EW EW PLEASE make it stop! End the Clana already.

[supergirl945]

OMG i loved this epi. it was romantic, dramatic, and a little sad at the end.

[svtwamedfan05]

This was a good episode. Lionel, Lex, and Chloe rocked in this episode. Lana proved once again that she is a total biotch. Taking no regard for Lois' safety and particulary putting her in danger when Lois was even looking for it. It was incredibly noble of Lois to even go after the Project Lana was talking about especially after Lana put her in danger. Lex and Lionel building on the doubt stragety that Kara and MM has built may even start to wake up Clark. Clark is starting to use everything that everyone has warned him about Lana already and it really showed when he didn't tell Lana he loved her at the end. Lex was definitely right about Clark building Lana's evil attitude. If it wasn't for Clark, dare I say it Lana may be a decent person and hint Clark even realized :o ABOUT FREAKING TIME!!!! Clearly Lana is not a strong enough person to not let guys dedicate what kind of person she can be. Love how Chloe told Lana off. I love how they used the Samson and Delilah story and Isis Mythology story to compare to Clark and Lana's relationship. I love Chloe again she sees the true Lana and won't just sit by and let Lana make Clark fall to his knees. Despite the Clana crapfest throw up sex crap, this episode was a real good episode. Alot of cut throat stuff starting. Lex is so awesomgly evil and true as well as Chloe is awesomgly strong and determined to not let Lana ruin Clark. This may get interesting.

I'm with you but I gave it a 4.
Loved Chloe making sure Lana knew what was up.
Way tooooo much Lana.
So over Clana.

[Bosrudorfer]

I really really liked this episode for some reason. IMO it was the best of the season yet. 10

[BadToad]

I gave it a 4. It had a lot of good elements in it, but I can't help shaking the thought that things are going to be glossed over after this, and thats just totally wrong, IMO. And KK just looked very silly in her black leather and high heeled boots, trying to be bad a**. She's a lovely girl, but I just can't buy her in this type of role.

And once again, the writers use Clark's stupidity and blindness when it comes to Lana to drag him down. *sigh* He's the star of the freaking show, and I think he deserves better then that.

And Oh man, I don't even know what to say about what they're doing with poor Lois. Very much like Clark/TW, Lois/ED deserves way better.

Chloe rocked though, and I liked the Clex scenes.

[STFanatic]

The dominatrix look is not really becoming for her. IMO.
She looked very becoming in the business suit look or even the red dress (minus the wig) though.

[coasterprincess]

Some good and some bad

The Good
~bits of continuity (I'll take them where I can get them...even if it is just the "hey I remember when Lana liked to ride horses")
~the earthquake...not going to lie I giggled through that and the generally awkward "you guys talk about that" mortified look from Clark made it fun (plus it's a one-shot deal so my amusement outweighs my nausea)
~Chloe giving it to Lana...between the nice description of Isis and the "I won't let you" move...it was just a great scene

The Meh
~Lois....still not a fan of the editor....doubt I'm going to like their relationship...but at least he has a point being a lackey for a Luthor (just not sure which one)...plus Lois had some fun lines

The Bad
~Clexana triangle returns...."she loves me" "no she loves me" *gags* TW and MR can do so much better than this
~crazy Lana....I have to agree with some people saying how easy it came to her....plus (and I know I've said this in other episode threads) I hate this "super-spy" theme they have with her


Overall it was just a filler....had some fun but nothing amazing 5/10

[JEWCY]

+continuity:there were a lot of great references in this episodes;
-Eric Summers/JK getting the powers previously (maybe one other mention of someone getting the powers)
-kryptonians coming on the date the show aired (5/18/05)
-oak tree and the horses
-some other things i am probably missing

+ brainiac-that storyline is going to kick ass, plain and simple. little dissapointed how he ended up in season 5, but im sure they will redeem themselves

+ lana getting clark's powers showing her aggression. i really liked that part a lot

+ clana: the sex scene. that was just friggin funny and hilarious and they kissed ( i think i counted 3 times)

- grant gabriel-cant stand this dude, hopefully lois finds out about him

+ poker reference

this episode was everything i was expecting and really got a lot of questions answered about things like the Isis foundation, Clark finally finding out about these things, and hopefully leading us up to Brainiac.

plus, like 95% of Smallville episodes, I throughougly enjoyed it.

10/10

[Imzadia]

I can see, so far, that 'we' as part of the SMALLVILLE FanBase are Consistent with our variety of tastes in storytelling. We Love the Subject material, but we Sure have different ideas about how it should be handled. These 'Opinion Polls' testify to our Passion about the 'story' being told on Smallville, so I guess that's why for ME, "Wrath" gave me many reactions tonight. It was an emotional rollercoaster! It started out interestingly Sweet, then it was fun and funny, then I thought the 'minor tremors Thing' was Ridiculous and a bit Confusing, then it got Scary, and finally it was Sad at the end. There were Revelations for Clark & Chloe that made me feel relieved, & some Admissions from Clark, too, but still some subjects were avoided...Again. Clearly, Lana is Ruthless and stubbornly clings to her own Justifications. I wonder how Clark will Finally 'come to terms with her' when he genuinely allows himself to 'See' Lana for who she truly Is. IMO, she's Not an awful person. She's just a misguided soul who's experienced a lot of deep personal lonliness during her short life. It seems she's made a vow to survive no matter what confronts her. It's a rough and ragged interior that's deceptively camouflaged by her pretty & sweet exterior...And she's learned how to 'Work' that. It started out with us seeing Clana together in a way we haven't seen them in years, and even then it was for such a short while. I believe they truly love each other, but both are too scared to admit that they KNOW, deep down inside, that they Really ARE NOT Meant to be together. They're NOT a 'perfect fit' and never were. It felt like we are being 'set-up' for New Directions. I know that a lot of you sometimes really 'rag' on Smallville's writers and the discrepencies in continuity over the years, but IMHO, they seem to have really been Trying to create a 'Tapestry' with this series to Connect it with its Established Mythology somehow. Yes, we who are familiar with Clark's/Superman's story already know where it's going, but I find it quite intriguing how TPTB are actually getting there. Since it made me Feel so much, & I read so much more 'between the lines' in this episode, I gave it a 9.5 out of 10. It will always be among one of the 'Best of Smallville' for me. Seven episodes into the 7th season and I have yet to be sorely disappointed. Sadly, it's a season with great momentum that 'may' be curtailed because of the WGA Strike, but I'm rooting for the Writers to get what they want quickly...so we can get on with one of my Favorite TV Obsessions.
:rolleyes: PS I forgot that I wanted to mention the too loud, too young and silly new Daily Planet editor and how I've been suspicious of him since he showed up...so he's Finally shown his 'True' hand, and he's holding onto Lex's, or Lionel's, hand that's got Mr. Gabriel & his hand shoved WAAAAAY Down into their devious pocket. ;)

[loistickyfingerz]

I do not like these writers. Lana was just weak. Totally unbelivable as a character all the way through. I just didn't buy it, and I still don't. It was like it was all a bad dream sequence.

[kiariclois]

Okay, review time!!

This episode was NOT Excellent, NOT Good, NOT even Okay. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

For one thing, Clark’s back being the stupid Alien. Even after what Lana did, he still find a reason to be with her; and the reason is that she’s doing what she did because of the power and it made her that way and then he blamed Lex. I just loved in the end that he had his doubt about his feelings for Lana.

Lana. I don’t see why she gets to have most of the screen time. I have to agree with Sis Kelly on this. Kristin’s acting isn’t like what it used to be; deteriorating, I might add. And I never liked her whispery way of talking. Lana’s character seems to be more important than Clark’s these days and I really hate that! She said she wanted to protect Clark. Liar! She’s just wanna bring Lex down the most. Big fat liar she is and the end scene with Clana, it was being revealed that Lana didn’t know Clark at all. (Clark didn’t know Lana at all. His ‘I know Lana better’ made me roll my eyes… Seriously)

Lois. Well, I really missed her. Her scenes were funny and light-hearted. However, I don’t see why she can’t have a decent scene. Like what sis Kelly had said, her scenes were unworthy of her supposably great character. Really.

I love Chloe and Lionel. They’re now like the voice of reasons for Clark. I really like the scene where Chloe confronts Lana. What Lana did, somehow, demolish Chloe’s trust and I don’t see why Clark couldn’t think like her. (Well, yeah. He’s BDA) So now, I reckon, Chloe isn’t going to be a Clana supporter. Yay for that! Lionel, way to go!

Grant. I’m curious who he talked with on the phone. It could be Lex, or maybe the government people?

Well, I’m not thrilled to see Grant and Lois together. Deep inside, I was hoping that Lois might know something about Grant and planned to expose him. Well, I can dream, can’t I?

What made me go ‘HUH’ is the fact that Lana was able to control all her powers without even trying. What happened with Clark years ago? It took a while for him to get used to it. This is plain RIDICULOUS! Or is that one way for the SV people to show the viewers how unbelievably DUMB Clark really is?

And what’s the deal with Smallville Medical Centre. My friend point this out and it does make sense. Lois was knocked up in Metropolis and she ended up in Smallville? What’s the deal with that? It’s like two-three hours drive away.

Seriously, what’s wrong with the writers?

[STFanatic]

They aren't writing right now anyway.

Oh yeah, I think, with what they had came up with, I don't see why they ask for more what they deserve (for SV wirters that is)... I'm just so pissed... Sorry

[supergirl28]

wow no offense people, but man this has been one of the best episodes yet. funny, and off your seat. then again some of you people are Clark, and Lois fans. to bad there wont be any of that till after Clark becomes superman

[redeem147]

I'm a Clark and Lois fan (see icon) and I loved the episode.

[Spirit Detective]

Awesome episode.

They finally resolved the whole "How can there be Clana sex if Clark has his powers?" that plagued Season 5. That must have been a real treat for both Clark and Lana. The earthquake scene was hilarious.

Continuity was awesome
Eric Summers
The mention of Jonathan's weakened heart from his deal with Jor-El
The Black Box Ash from Fallout

Lex's projector showing:
The Kryptonian Symbol of Crusade burned in the Kent Farm (end of Covenant)
The Kryptonian Symbol of Zod (beginning of Vessel)

I love this continuity!

Grant Gabriel and Lois was funny, but I detest that ship. I have a feeling Grant is not who he appears to be.

[Son of Kal-El20]

I liked it. The beginning was very funny. Probably the funniest moment in the entire series.

I give the episode a 8/10.

[diinIN]

I loved this episode. I think it was the best of the season so far. Loved all the humor--Tom is great with that. I was cracking up while at the same time a serious plot was progressing. While it was mostly about Lana, it wasn't overkill. It was more about Clark and Chloe trying to keep her under control. The Clark/Lex scenes were awesome as always.

And I gotta say, Tom in any steamy scene is just--WHEW!

Of course, my jealous husband (not because I'm in love with Tom, but because he can't have a body like that) is sitting there saying, "I don't think he's working out as much...look at his arms."

I'm all like, "Are you out of your mind?!"

Awesome episode.

They finally resolved the whole "How can there be Clana sex if Clark has his powers?" that plagued Season 5. That must have been a real treat for both Clark and Lana. The earthquake scene was hilarious.

I thought so too. But I think it only worked because she was indestructible at the moment.

[MidgardDragon]

Well the thing about Clana sex is it's not that (utterly stupid) thing whereby they believe he'd blast a hole in her from the, uh, last part. In Smallville Clark has just always believed he'd end up hurting Lana during sex if he had his powers. Notice how the Earth shook, that's because they were both unrestrained and didn't have to worry about hurting one another. I think Clark will discover in the future that he *can* have sex with humans he just has to use the same self-control he uses to avoid crushing them in his day-to-day life, taken up a notch. Right now the restriction on Clana sex seems to be from DC's side, mostly, though. Too bad, since that whole Mall Rats "super sperm" idea was so ridiculous in the first place.

[jaydee85]

I loved this ep!!!!

I want Clark and Lana to be happy, but I know how things will end. It continues to be a wonderful journey that I enjoy each week. I thought this ep was both happy and sad at the same time.

[Yankeefan]

i gave it a 10 great episode, Lana was so hot!!

[CrazyforKal]

I loved the ep. Lighting was very different in the beginning. The opening scene didn't even look like SV. The three best scenes? The Chlana, Clex and Clana toward the end. Great performances and really intense.

[BWOracle]

I gave it a 9. I had to deduct 1 point for the overly short Clana fight.

Even Lana/Clana haters got what they wanted which is Lana admitted her responsibility for her actions…twice in the same scene.

“At least one good thing came out of the mess I made” and “I have to live with the decisions that I’ve made”

On the other hand, if you expect that the time for the end of Clana is now; that’s what is called DENIAL. Even when their relationship was all secrets and lies and started to fall apart in Splinter it took 9 episodes before it ended in Hypnotic. Anyone who thinks it will take less time this time around hasn’t been watching the show for the last 7 seasons.

The events in this episode are probably the best thing that could have happened in their relationship. Now everything is out in the open. They can finally see if their relationship is for real or not. Built on the reality not the fantasy. We know it will eventually end as per the mythology and even admitted to by AlMiles but it will probably last most of this season (which is typical of most of Lana’s relationships in the show).

I would say that the reason Clark kept his powers is that there was no physical contact between Lana and him. Only the bolt of electricity connected them. Also, Clark learned to use his powers as they developed. Now that they are fully developed, Lana got the advantage of fully developed powers…of course, it could just be that the writers couldn’t waste valuable screen time while Lana learned her powers.

Probably don’t want to leave the horses out in a lightning storm, however.

Great expression from KK while she was lifting the windmill, but wasn’t that the same windmill that Clark stood under while Jonathan was up on the ladder. Where did the kryptonite come from?

Clark to Lana: “One of those had to be there kind of things.”

Loved the whole earthquake sex sequence, especially Chloe’s reaction to the tremors in the Talon and the aftermath with Lana in Clark’s shirt. Nice legs KK. And yes, in the 21st century it’s morally acceptable for adults to have premarital sex…even Superman.

See they saved money on the x-ray FX, twice. Sound effects are cheaper than visuals.

Clark: “You guys talk about this.” Lana: “What, it’s just Chloe.” Chloe: “Awkward.”

Nice Eric Summers and Jonathan’s heart references. Too bad AA wasn’t in this episode.

SV has been consistent in one thing, whoever gets super powers tends to let the euphoria make them a bit psychotic. That’s what makes Clark so special is that he doesn’t let it go to his ego. IMO the intention is to provide a contrast between Clark and humanity.

I guess that they forgot that Brainiac isn’t affected by kryptonite. However, nice reference to the dust…obviously left from the ship’s hard drive destroyed in Fallout.

Did Lana really have to use heat vision on the safe when she could have just ripped off the door?

Nice to see Martha mentioned and that she’s doing so well. I love that in 2 straight episodes, Clark has gone to Lionel for advice. The mentor relationship should be awesome going forward (in addition to the Martian Manhunter). It was good that he believed Lionel when he mentioned that Lana had kidnapped him. Their trust is growing and Lionel called him “son” without Clark reacting.

Now Lex is showing up at Clark’s house without an invitation. Nice change of pace from Clark’s barging into Lex’s anytime he wants.

Liked Lois’ new haircut. Was the hot dog symbolic of the wiener that is Grant? I also thought Michael Cassidy’s performance was much better than any of the previous episodes. He actually conversed with Lois instead of just blurting out his lines full force. Lois is now leading Lana in the unconscious sweepstakes this season 3-2.

Can someone tell me why someone who is injured in Metropolis goes to Smallville for medical treatment? (other than to save money on sets). It happened in Noir last season.

Lois to Clark: “Word of advice, Smallville. Don’t forget flowers on Valentine’s Day.”

Love the hospital gown scenes with Lois trying to hide her opening, especially with the flowers.

Clark: “Chloe, do you know what it feels like to wonder if someone close to you isn’t who you think?”
Chloe: “Did you really just ask me that question?”

Loved the use of the Jor-El message from Rosetta in the Scion lab. Also, good reference to the air date of Commencement in the date of the second meteor shower 5/18.

Looks like Lana ended up preferring to kill Lex with her bare hands than with electricity. Liked the return of Lana-Fu. Nice to see Lana also got to experience the pain from kryptonite. She got a full taste of Clark’s experiences.

Lois to Grant: “Wow, if news of that spread through the mail room, I could have my nameplate on your door by tomorrow. That’s sexual harassment.” Kiss. “But that wasn’t.”

Terrific ultimatum from Chloe to Lana. Chloe’s got Clark’s back. I can’t quite figure out what was being conveyed by Lana’s expression at the end of that scene.

Brainiac is free and he’s coming back as a female (at least to begin with).

[ginnyfan]

Loved it... 9/9

[xrayvision]

I gave it a 1. This was a ridiculous episode and showed that even after all that happened, Clark is still an idiot and blames himself for Lana's actions. Also, Lana complaining about him staying on the farm to save her ass all those times was the most infuriating line spoken in this show. If it was Lionel, I would look the other way, but a character whose ass would have been dead so many friggin times dares to say something like that? If Lana was from another planet and deeply obsessed with a self absorbed casanova who practically came close to death once every week, she would also have done the same. And the sex scene was just distasteful. How could they soil Clark's reputation even further by having him do her after she was with Lex and when she is so corrupted?

[CallMeClark]

10/10. Smallville is really impressing me this season.

And Chloe standing up for Clark, to Lana, made my night. Wow.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

I loved Lana in this one, Yes, I said that, I loved Lana in this one.
Not because she was kicking ass and taking names, but because she told Clark that which he needed to hear, again ( get off the farm winnie) and told Clark that She is responsible for her own actions and decisions.
Well said Lana.

[Thinking Man]

I thought this was a weak episode. In fact, this whole season has been weak ... and I'm not saying that because I'm a hater! I love the show, in fact. But they're just rehashing old story lines. If I were running the show, I would have gone an entirely different direction. The whole point of Smallville is to tell the story of Superman's life before he was Superman. We are clearly at a point now when Clark should be transitioning ... and he seemed to be on that path last season. For this season, they should have:
1. Let Lana die
2. Let Chloe die
3. Let Clark begin his "training"
4. Made Lex even more evil and dangerous
5. Introduced some new super villans
6. Bring back the Justice League gang for selected episodes.
7. Lana and Chloe's functions should start to be picked up by Lois ... as in Clark and Lois slowly start falling for each other.

[udtiger]

I am surprised at some of what I have read. Despite the fact that my post count is low, I've been around for a while and one of the biggest gripes I have heard is "continuity". Well, this episode was rife with it. plus, there was a lot here that explains what many are calling plot holes;

1) Lana as a "quick study" in using Clark's powers. Do you think that maybe they've discussed his powers, how he uses them, the problems he's run into in developing them at any point this season? Now that she's "in the know" and is thinking back to everything that had happened over the previous 6 years, you don't think maybe she's asked a few questions. It is not the big a leap that she might have the "instructions" on how to use the powers that Clark never did.

2) L LOVED the hit tip to the fact that they've not been having sex up to this point (through the discussion with Chloe). Answered a lot of lingering questions.

This has been one of the best seasons of this show! I just hope the strike does not screw it up.

[samanta]

I gave it a 4.
The only part I liked was Chlana confrontation, Lana telling Clark that she's responsible for her own action and everyone was doing awesome job with playing their roles.
Other was ridiculous IMO.

[Joekur]

First, I missed the first 10 minutes, so I missed the Super-Earthquake-Sex scene...

but of what I did catch, I like it overall - 8 from me.

At first, my thoughts were, "k, I'm done with Lana now..." and that's after she totally redeemed herself in my eyes... but, I see her point, and I see what they're doing with her, at least I think I do... so I'm on for the ride.


I think the only thing I hate is they're relegating Lois to Filler... Her thing with grant is virtually pointless, IMHO. I like it when she's relevant, and interacting with Clark...

Oh, no Kara... :( :(


Chloe ROCKED, of course - "I won't let you..."

[Otisburg Mayor]

Give it a 4. The negatives outweighed the positives here:

On the good:
1) Couple of nods to continuity already detailed in earlier posts
2) Braniac
3) Chloe laying the smack down on Lana
4) A couple of good lines from Lois

The ugly:
1) Sorry, but the earthquake bit was cheesy and unfunny
2) Lana as a pro with the powers.....puh-leeze
3) Still not buying the whole "dark Lana" bit either
4) The love interest with a different agenda (Grant). Didn't we see this before with Jason?
5) Clark going to Lionel right away about Lana. Would he really trust him that much?
6) No Kara!

[kate_lang]

LOVEDDDDDDD it! I loved lana super power! Lana and clark scenes was so funny! The kitchen scene with chloe was great too. KK should to make a comedy movie!

[swedishclarkgirl]

seriously great episode!!!!!! LOVED it!!

But i do miss some lois-clark interaction....

[Izzysand]

I give it a 7. I liked the episode, but the whole lana mastering clark's power kinda rub me the wrong way. I love how Chloe called Lana out.. That's my girl!

[kavalier]

I think this episode was just fine. Some of the negative comments here had me worried, but I just watched it and I found it genuinely entertaining.

Sure, there were derfinitely some "geesh, that was awkward" moments, but they were supposed to be awkward moments, and they were actually pulled off quite smoothly. For instance, the "earthquake" thing was definitely awkward (Chloe even says so) but not poorly done.

I think the episode was well written, evidenced by its strong continuity elements, its character development (certain relationships have definitely begun to change), and of course, the return of Braniac!

I do ! Lana is going after Chloe now, because Chloe stood up to her

[superpal1]

I gave it a nine. I will hand out a ten the day Clark takes to the sky. Anyway, the beginning scene with the tremors was hilarious, evil Lana worked well, Lex believing he is right, Clark realizing that he is to blame for some of the decisions people in his life have made, and Bad ass Chloe telling Lana to watch her back. The episode even had Chloe mentioning that someone taking Clarks power was so been there done that. Nice in your face to all the take backers compaining that this plot has been used before.

[mfarhaniqbal33]

THE BEST EPISODE YET after the Premeire and wats GOOD BRAINIAC IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Perlenoire7]

I gave the episode a 9 - I loved the end scenes where Clark and Lana talked - IT was good to see them talk about what happened instead of it being brushed under a rug. I also like what Lex told Clark because I believe that he was right - Lana is obsessed with Lex and that obsession will make her loose Clark - Last but not least I loved Chloe's warning towards Lana. It's about time that those girls honestly talked - I am not sure if she disconnected Lana - that was left in limbo, but everything she told Lana was awesome - I am happy it wasn't a physical fight but I was happy that Chloe told Lana that if she had to choose between her and Clark - she chose Clark. I love this show

[Dew_drops]

I really liked this episode but I found the editing to be a bit... like the story ran for the sake of the story ( done a lot of times in other episodes).

First of all I loved the the whole seduction scene - it was so cute and sweet. Yes, I agree it lacked the element of sexuality but it was so happy and sweet I don't care.

And the tremors - oh my God - hilarious. And Chloe Clark and Lana all delivered their lines fantastically in the kitchen, Kristin was absolutely superb when she said "what - its just Chloe" with that little impish, embarassed look. A lovely scene.

Now, I've heard alot about Lois's scenes with Grant and how it was wrong for her to do what she did and hoe everyone hates Grant etc etc etc, BUT I was pleasantly surprised to see how cute those scenes were and they both looked pretty sweet and cute together. Even the kissing scene was sweet and nicely done. They did it so innocently I really couldn't look at the big picture and realise yeah, um thats wrong coz thats her boss.

Now to Chloe - I really understand why Chloe would be upset and I love Chloe., but I think she was a bit harsh with Lana at that moment, considering Lana did seem regretful over everything. It was one thing if Chloe was warning her when Lana was being all wrathful but Lana was all remorseful then. I just didn't think it suited Chloe's character to be so umm can't think of the word - when someone is smiling but delivering a threat? Chloe should have spoke to lana staight (because Chloe is a straightfoward no nonsense good charcater) Her smiling and bringing up Egyptian Gods and the god Ra had me a bit unnerved and reminded me of Lex or Lana. I really would have preffered it if she said "Clark is my friend and I will not let you mess with him" Direct and simple. However Allison is looking great with all that weight loss but I prefered her the old way.

And was it just me but while the sexual tension was great between Lex and Lana did it not look like Lex headbutted Lana when he went for that kiss. Honestly, you could see both actors were unsure how to time that kiss.

I liked the little scene with Lois escaping with the flowers from the hospital and her covering up her back, cute and ugh, I'm not going to use the word 'sweet' because I've used it too much in this post already.

I really want to know what they are doing with the Lana charcter. Ultimately I believe that they will prove her to be good. but what does this mean now - is she evil just to add interest to her charcrter and create more plots - is she good now? I mean I'd like to know the purpose of introducing all this.

The music was excellent. I especially liked the movie-type clip playing in the background with Lana holding the windmill.

Good stuff.

I give it a ten just for the excellently delivered dialogue between the main characters in the kitchen.

[shadow4486]

I was pleasantly surprised at this episode. I didn't know how another "power transfer" would work but we see how having the power is not for everyone, even those we think are good. I guess it's just how you're raised.

I really enjoyed the performances by the cast this week. I loved Chloe's confrontation with Lana toward the end. It kinda gave me chills. I love Chloe so much it was fun to see her getting tough and protective.

This must have been a tough episode for Clark because, I think, he is starting to feel as though he might have to go it alone. I still want Lana to die so Clark can leave town and become Superman. I wonder how this Clanaex relationship is gonna go.

Very strong episode. 9 out of 10!

I can see your line of thinking here, but that flies in the face of the dialogue about having powers being a "you have to be there" thing. So I don't know if I can buy this scenario.

===

I gave this episode a (probably generous) 6.

Love love love the continuity references. Seriously, that type of stuff covers over a multitude of sins for me. I remember this stuff, why shouldn't the people it happened to remember it as well?

The return of Brainiac is exciting. I can't wait. It feels like the show is treading water until the next real villain steps up to face Clark. Lex's villainy is half-hearted at best--he's back on his save-the-world-from-the-aliens kick, so it's too well-intentioned. But Brainiac will be no-holds-barred evil. Bring. it. on.

Have I mentioned how deeply I love Chloe? Because I do. Face it, Chloe--"you're AMAZING."

The more I think about the father-son relationship Clark and Lionel have developed, the more it weirds me out. There's just too much history there, it shouldn't be that comfortable.

And now, my weekly plea: PLEASE CLARK! WAKE UP, MAN! GO TRAIN AT THE FORTRESS AND BE A HERO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

Thank you.

[Super Maverick]

super lame episode

especially the super sex

[STFanatic]

Since Clark discussed the power transfer with Lionel, perhaps they can come up with a way to transfer it to others, I know Ollie wanted some of that.
I know Lionel ain't going to let it go now that he knows it is possible.

[Joekur]

yea, the only ep. that's going to get a 10 from me is when Chloe finally confesses her undying love - for ME!

"Clark, you're ok an all, but I'm in Love with JoeKur on the KryptonSite Forums... Sorry ..."

(smirk)

[Coyote]

Excellent classic Smallville ep, with several memorable scenes. Gave it a 9.

[Promise]

I gave it a 10.

Loved the Clana.

Loved all the dialouges

Don't care for Grant and Lois, but I do like Grant, and Lois's quirky comments.

Branic is back.

Loving Clark and Lex having Scenes

Loved the ending.

Good episode.

Its hard to get past the Writers Strike going on, but I will still enjoy Smallville, but you know its ending soon in like 3months, how sad

I am surprised by the postive remarks on this thread. Nice change of things

Ill be the first to say it, I really didnt like this episode. I loved every part with clark chloe and lex, but lana just ruined the episode for me. Alot of people hated Lana last season, but to tell you the truth, I could not stand her in this episode. I dont know why. I just loved how close Clark was to getting angry at her near the end of the episode but then he just forgives her like that. I gave it 6/10. I didnt hate this ep, I just dont like the new clark + lana this season.

I couldn't have given a more perfect explanation of my feelings about this episode.

[L&L]

I gave it a 9.

I loved the Lexana kiss. I wasn't expecting it at all. It gives me some hope.

I also loved and wasn't expecting the Chloe/Lana scene at the end. Something that finally makes me like Chloe a bit.

I really like the Clex scenes but I walked in half way thru the first Clex scene. Does anyone have video of when Lex was like yeah, I know I'm not welcomed part?

Did anyone notice how Lana was wearing Rock & Republic Jeans? It was a really nice touch. The wash she was wearing was Tyrant Pink. A nice choose for this episode.

The only thing that took away from it was the beginning earthquake scenes. Too Corny for my taste.

[Dew_drops]

* I forgot to add - i think it was nice that they sortof resolved the Lana situation and we come to see she is not as evil as we think so.

She did all this to try and expose evil lex, she apologised to Chloe and Clark for not telling them of her plans.

And she stalks straight to Clark - apologises and is honest and sad at the end.
No more of that smiling mechanical Lana (which btw seems to have passed onto Chloe - Chloe threatening Lana but still smiling - creeps me out!) Hmmm...maybe it's a virus going around!

oh and I loved how refreshingly honest lana was to Clark. Good one.

[samwinchestermustdie]

let me start off by saying this i hate lana. she is not welling who can play a great bad guy w/ red k. the banging of the titans was great. there was a total jurassic park moment going on in the talon. and clark finding about them having krypto sex talks was hilarious. Ninja lana just made me sick. i'm hoping she does have heart failure. ther is no doubt in my mind now that the editor has a chloe deal with a luthor, question is which one? In conclusion, one of my favorite parts was the whole chlana fight, she obviously still has feelings for him. lana, NO! chloe, YES!

[All about Clark]

I gave it a 9. Some really nice interaction and discussion relating to Lana.

Chloe/Lana at the end, WOW!

Clark/Lana at the end, YES, no I love you at the end and a very worried uncomfortable look in Clark's eyes.

Yes the earthquake issue a little overdone.

Episode showing how much Clark was trying to have a relationship with a Lana who had her brain elsewhere.

And the most shattering moment in the ep is when Chloe tells Lana that she could unknowing hurt Clark and the look in Lana's eyes says "You bet I can if I chose".

[Mysticlies]

I gave this episode a 10.

This is one of those rare episodes when everyone spills what has been on their mind for a while. everyone did a great acting job, KK was great as confused Lana. one of the best Clana scenes this season, and possibly the entire series. It focused on both of them being honest to the core, it was sad to watch the pain and confusion interchangeably switch between both Lana and Clark.

This is what every true drama show needs, confusion between emotions, the feeling of regret, the questioning of ones actions. The extent of ones love to another person, and the consequence. I guess you have to be in love at least once or twice in your life to truly applicate a scene like that.

The music was a wonderful addition. I'm happy that lyrical music has been reintroduced into this season of smallville. Music can be immensely helpful in making good television.

[moody12381]

I liked this one mostly. I was taken out a bit by Lois getting kicked in Metropolis and going to the hospital in Smallville.

[GrantZ]

5/10

There was some great stuff and some terrible crap in here. The first 1/3 was pretty pointless, but after that it was either okay or great, so this isn't the worst ep this season although not the greatest either.

[axisoftime]

Id give it a 3-1 of the poorer eps imo.
Dont like the power transfer thing-I could buy a siphoning off of some powers but not the total package-its the kryptonian physology that makes him super.
And Lana using them so well-especially heat vision-who needs training?lol
And I think Clark being on Earth for so long should really be stronger then Kara-or anyone who suddenly gets powers.

[theotherJane]

I just watched it a second time with my girlfriends and I was bored out of my mind.
I give it a 4/10.

[skylar]

I gave it a 10. Tom, Kristin, and Allison did a really good job last night. Best episode so far.

[MetroGirl06]

Gave it a 4. I didn't like this one.

[Pimson]

I think it was a great episode, with a few uncomfortable moments. I think Clark's and Lana's fight at the end soon will tear them apart once again. Lex is still convinced he's right, and Lana's cruel. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was Lois kissing Grant. If this is the last season, when are we gonna see Clois?? Of course I hope it's not the last one, but right now there are quite many loose threads.

[SVfan4ever]

Gave it a 9/10. I haven't laughed like that in awhile. Loved the Clex scenes, Lionel & Clark, Chloe & Clark. Loved all the revelations. I love Lois but could have done without that last scene with Grant. Brainiac is back - Great. And Martha got a mention. Great music too. Next week looks to be good too.

[redtee]

I give it an 8. At least 5 of that was for the beginning scene (sex/earthquake) which could have had 10 if they'd manage to steam up the screen a bit more before launching into the humour. C'mon guys I know they have tight anti nudity contracts and all but can't the writers make it a little more 'hot' without having to take everything off. I remember Buffy and how 'steamy' that got and the restrictions would have been about the same. But I digress and you all can probably see straight through my diatribe to the simple fact that I want to see Clark shirtless *again* LOL!!
Yeah well Lana....as much as her character rubs me up the wrong way she is playing the steadily growing distant b*tch to a tee. Tom was good but I felt he should be getting a little more 'something' about the fact that he no longer trusts the one love of his life. Seems kinda a big issue to me. Go Chloe! Way to lay down the gauntlet in typical sweet but steely Chloe style. Initially I thought the MB should not be told about Lana's new found powers....i don't know that I'd be reveling to too many people that if I just managed to hold a piece of kryptonite stand near something really tall and metal and connect with Clark in a lightning storm that I could get the benefit of his powers. Seems like an invite to me.
So the best thing about this ep apart from the fact that Clark finally gets to have sex (anyone else stunned that they *never* actually do it even though they've been together for 7 episodes now?? Sheesh....that surely is a form of self toture) is that Brainiac's back!!! Woohoo!!!! Oh and Lex's dialogue kind halfway made up for that fact that he got his ass kicked yet again....I don't know when it's going to happen but I ferventtly hope that in the near future Lex finally starts getting to kick some ass because he kinda looked a bit like he was still trying to be good Lex this ep. But I like that his words were pretty much a slap upside the head for Clark and his somewhat less than accurate Lana pedestal.
Anyway...I give it an 8. And I still rank Bizarro as the best ep this season followed by Action.

[clarkbunny]

Woot, I loved it and gave it a 10 - my frst this season as I haven't liked most of the other episodes. Yes Midgarddragon you read that right - I GAVE IT A 10, I ACTUALLY ENJOYED IT (these things do happen) :lol:

The earth shakin' love makin' made me chuckle - and I loved how the weather vane was bent at the end ha ha ha

I was even able to put the way Lana used her super powers like she'd always had them to the back of mind. Although it would have been good if they had made her heat vision uncontrolled and she'd just blown the door off the hinges in a massive explosion when she was raiding Lex's safe.

I loved Chloe - yay for once an episode where she wasn't being crapped on. Her talk with Lana was excellent - that's my feisty gyal :D Hopefully this is leading up to some Chlark before the season's out.

I really liked the way that the show ended before Clark said anything about if he still loved Lana - although you could tell from his eyes that he doesn't feel the same about her or 'love her no matter what'.

Brainiac is back - YAY! Loved Lionel and the Lex-Clark scenes were so dark and good. This is the first episode that I didn't want to throw things at the screen when Grant came on. Having said that I definitely don't buy the whole Lois - Grant thing, there is no way you would just kiss your boss no matter how hot they are. Lois even mentioned sexual harrassment, I don't think that would go down too well with management.

Oh and got to see what I always suspected - Grant is working for a Luthor and trying to steer Lois clear of their shady dealings. I first suspected it was Lex but now I am startin think Lionel but then again Grant was hired before Lionel was found so it must be Lex.

Best of all, there was no Kara just the core SV characters. With any luck Brainiac will catch her and send her to the Phantom zone for the rest of the season :lol:

[DANO MAKI]

I think Lana needs to be done real soon. She is diminishing the quality of the show.

No way. :lol: This is the first time I've liked Lana since the beginning of the series.

[Fly by guy]

I gave it a 9 and if we could skip the Lois/Grant kiss and have Lionel on screen more it would be a ten.

[trying2b]

Damn that episode was good. I gave it a 9. Would have gave it a 10 but the supersex/earthquake tremor thing I really didn't like. I know they were trying to get a laugh before all the heavy stuff went down (and I do mean heavy) but it wasn't funny to me at all. Now it looks like the end of Clana for sure. Clark is finally going to let Lana go.

I don't like Grant Gabreal at all and now I know he has an agenda for sure.

It's too bad that stupid writers strike is happening since we are have such a great season. There was a lot of stuff that was set up tonight.

And one more thing was if Lois got hurt at the Dailey Planet, then why was she at Smallville Medical Center? Why didn't she go to Metropolis General? Big goof there.

I thought the episode, was great, I really did like the scene, where Clark, found out about Lana's Company, My Favorite scene in the Episode, is when Clark took Lana's Power's back, I can't wait to see Next Week's episode, it is going to be awesome.

[clana4everfan2]

It was really great! And it was hilarious how Lana and Clark caused a mini earth quake! It's not Cali it's Kansas. haha Chloe really let Lana have it regarding Clark. And it was good that Lana made Clark realize that she needs to take responsibility for her actions and that it's not up to him. But now we will see what will happen now that Clark don't trust fully trust Lana due to all her secrets.

[magoo]

If this is the standard the writing is going to be then i'm glad they're on strike!

Awful, awful episode. I wish they'd just get the hell on with moving the Superman story forward instead of rehashing old ideas to put into filler episodes.

2/10

[Kal-Jor]

I think that episode was actually good, seeing how I was kind of let down in the last one. In anycase, I found some parts to be very funny, I think those who saw it may agree in the startting some parts were indeed funny. I love it, but the only thing that I really didn't get is how Lana quickly mastered Clark's powers without having to learn how to use them like Clark. Even Kara had to learn how to controll some of her powers. Maybe I missed something, but I just thought that was abit off, but overall great. =D

[KansasKitty]

I liked it. Better than some of the earlier ones this season. I think Lana is coming full circle. These were aspects of her personality that showed through in "Nicodemus" and the Isobel character and even the awful vampire episode. I wish that it had been made clearer whether Clark and Lana had already resumed their....:rolleyes: physical intimacy or whether this was the first time since...sheesh...5th season in "Hidden".

I think I read something about some fans wanting Clana to have their moment again under the oak tree however I think the scene where they both rode pass a large oak tree seemed to say that they have both moved beyond the innocence of that time and there is no going back :( Oh well, that is the fate of many first loves.

However I am looking to the future :)

Well Mr. Downloader, filler episode huh? Were you watching the same episode as I was? How is it if you live in England do you watch fresh episodes of Smallville?

lol. I have no idea what you are talking about.

If you disagree with my opinion why not try and change my mind with your own instead of using insults and insinuation?

Do you really think this was one of the best episodes?

[rundstedt2001]

Stupid stupid me....after seeing the last episode i really thought they had pulled the story together, and then they come up with THIS??????????????

ONE OF THE WORST!!!!!

[Sugarcard]

For me this episode was better than last weeks. I liked the bit of comedy at the beginning and the action sequences. I also liked how the ended the episode on a sort of cliffhanger

[Sweetie]

I didn't like it.It was so ridiculous.

The good:Chloe & Lana's discussion.I was happy to see Chloe talking down to Lana.This stupid girl had it comming.Clark & Lex's confrontation was awesome.Lois was so funny,she put some humor on this ridiculous episode.I'm not ok about her kissing her boss but,I think she wants to trick him.She's no dummy,she saw how Grant reacted with Lana.She wants to take down Lex also but,she is going to do it the right way.The last Clana's scene,Lana always trying to excuse herself in the name of love...no way!!! but,Clark finally sees her for who she really is.The Brainiac's liquid absorbed by the girl in the lab...Can't wait to see what happen next.

The bad:The first scene on horses...Can they be more cheesier?Lana having Clark's powers and able to ajust to them right away.Clark willing to take the blame for Lana, thinking that she was this way because of his powersa.Lana attacked Lex then the kiss then she pushed him away to electrocute him,Clana's sexe causes a earthquake...please:rolleyes:

[Jaded Wolf]

I gave this one a 8/10. After last week's dismal episode this one was alot better. Kristen did a good job with dark Lana with Clark's powers. I really like Chloe standing up to Lana and standing her ground when it comes to Clark. I hope this is a push to finally get Lana out of Clark's life now that he knows the truth about what she has been doing.

The only problem I had was the kryptonite affecting Lana. Kryptonite affects Clark because he has Kryptonian blood and not because he has powers. The transference of Clark's powers to Lana does not mean she should be affected by kryptonite. She is still human and not Kryptonian. It was an easy way for Clark to overpower and depower Lana. Even though at this point Clark should not have to have an easy way to beat someone who has just inherited the powers which Clark has been mastering over the last seven years. Also the whole cheesy earthquake sex scene. That was just retarded and did nothing for the show. When that scene happened I felt like I was playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and got the hook-up with my girlfriend on the game. When I go into her house the scene shifts to the outside view of her house and all I hear are the noises. It was like the director used a scene out of the game for the earthquake moment. Stupid... Really stupid...

I also don't like the way that Lois Lane is being characterized as a bimbo in this series. Does she just sleep with everyman she can find? Seriously at this rate by the time her and Clark do hook up she will transfer STD over to him...

All in all though not a bad episode.

I think the poster meant that Lana was using the powers at a more confident rate than Clark did when he first learned of different abilities. Clark had to practice his heat vision before he could usse it accurately but Lana gets them and in a few hours she has mastered them enough to break into Lex's safe.

[President_Luthor]

This was a good episode, but not for what you'd think would be obvious. The whole Lana as krypto-super-psycho-crusader routine was a mere sideshow to the fallout of Clark and Lana's 'Secrets and Lies', which IMHO was more interesting.

I'll suspend disbelief and allow that a transference 'could' happen between Lana and Clark. It's one way Lana could truly get insight into what Clark has had to go through over six years (yeah, I know - instantly). Not surprisingly on SV, the first thing both Lana and Clark think of to test out their equal status is ... a booty call? After six years, could there be any doubt? :lol: Sure, Lana could have raced Clark across the field at superspeed or tossed tractors in the air ... but you just knew TPTB had to go this way.

It was funny that Clark had to learn later that Chloe and Lana - being friends - discuss Clark's performance anxiety issues.

It was immensely satisfying for both Luthors - Lex and Lionel - to give Clark a much-needed reality check on his own duplicity with Lana and his shared responsibility for Krypto-Lana's actions. The Luthors may be conniving backstabbers, but at least they know that. Clark's been playing that game, but still likes to believe that he hasn't really mucked it up with the rest of them re: secrets and lies. Yes, Clark -- you have, and you've been doing it for over six years! Of course Lana's not going to fully confide in you.

Chloe throws down the gauntlet. She'll do whatever it takes to protect Clark, even if it means defying Lana and her own misguided attempts and helping Clark.

Lana's talk with Clark at the end also hit the mark: Clark can't assume all responsibility for Lana's mistakes so he can preserve some idealized image he has of her (likely that high school freshman dream of Lana as the smalltown cheerleader-girl-next-door). Lana will rise or fall by her own choices and decisions, and Clark can't be there to shadow her all the time. It's time he stops invoking 'I've got to protect Lana' as a reason to stall on pursuing his destiny.

Other than the cheesy krypto-booty-call in the opening (earthquakes?! LOL!), this episode was definitely one of the better ones because I think all the main characters have turned a corner, and aren't looking back.

8/10

She had a bit part in the movie Eurotrip that was funny. I love that movie.

As for Wrath, I'd have to say the best episode of the season for me. For one we get to see Clark and Lana deal with their relationship rather than just talk about it. They actually owned up to the fact that theirs isn't a perfect relationship. Nice to see Lana again hammer home the fact that she can't live up to Clark's lofty thoughts of her and that she is not perfect but flawed like everyone else. Also nice to see Clark and Lana on equal ground for once. I liked super lana much better than the vampire lana from season 5 or witch lana from season 4.

Nice to see some Clark & Lex interaction. I think the more they become enemies the more interesting it gets because the show set it up that they had a friendship in the beginning and it just erodes away into hatred.

I think it is interesting Clark has opened up to Lionel so much. I think it is pretty obvious Lionel plays both sides and not always for Clark's benefit. Why would Lana have had to marry Lex to protect Clark? I think the Promise episode showed that he still cares for Lex, no matter what Lex has done. I think no matter how much he wants to protect Clark, he will always be Lex's father.

Lana is really becoming her own character this season instead of being defined by who she dates (whitney, Jason, Clark, Lex). She's becoming who she wants to be and I think she is trying to get Clark to do the same whether it is with her or not. It makes me wonder what they could do with the character if the comics followed Smallville's continuity. I think Lana could play a tweener role (not really good but not evil either) by using kryptonite freaks to go after Lex.

I'm not really into Lois & Grant and from what I've read on the forum I am not alone. It just seems so manufactured instead of natural like Lois/Oliver last season. After last season I thought Clark and Lois would be coming closer together. I knew this season had to be one last Clana and I'm all for it, but overall it seems forced except in this episode. If Crimson (red kryptonite episode from last season) is any indication I am looking forward to Clark & Lois if there is a season 8.

This is my favorite episode for Chloe this season. She really shined this episode whether it was commenting on Clark & Lana's earth-shaking sex or confronting Lana and basically saying she better not hurt Clark or Lana will have to deal with Chloe (who's mother is Wonder Woman so Lana better watch out!). I hope the writer strike ends soon cause I want to see more Chloe like she was here and not grieving over Jimmy Olsen. I'd like to see Chloe steal the spotlight from Lois who we all know is going to be a great reporter but Chloe deserves a break for a change.

Last I don't know why, but I expected Grant to be working for the Luthors. He seems to much like Jason from season 4. Been there done that, can't wait til useless boyfriend is out of the picture and Lois is single again or becoming interested in Clark.

Overall it was nice to see all the main characters take a step forward in this episode.

Go back and rewatch the episode Leech from season 1. Also watch the episode Asylum from season 3. Watch Eric's reaction to the kryptonite when Clark holds it up. It's the same reaction Clark gets. That's why Lana was affected by the kryptonite. I don't know if it means that it affects the powers as well, or if when you get Clark's powers it makes your blood rememble that of Kryptonians. Either way, if Lana didn't get affected by the kryptonite, then Smallville would have had ANOTHER continuity problem.

Also I think Lana was able to adjust to the powers very quickly because she got them after Clark had already adjusted to them. The same thing happened to Eric. He was able to adjust to the powers just as quickly as Lana. It's also the same with Jonathan. They are all able to adjust quickly to the powers.

I think the difference is that Clark had no help in learning his capabilities, and secondly, not only did Lana know what those abilities were before even getting them, but that Clark helped her learn them in offscrene-ville. As it was we saw her practicing running with him.

[supermommy]

I loved the episode. The earthquake scenes were hilarious as was the comment from Clark about Lana and Chloes talking about "it". I do feel like Clark has become a supporting cast member this year and I don't like that. At least they weren't crapping on Chloe this episode. She was great. I loved how she finally stood up to Lana. Poor Kristin, I hope she never reads these posts. I think she does a great job with all the crap they ask her to do week in and week out. I don't think Tom and Kristin have the same chemistry they used to have. I think they are both sick of the Clana too. Clark always blames himself for everything, that is just how superman thinks. I liked how Lana told him it was her fault and not his. This is a TV show and the continuity stuff is a little irritating, but Lois being treated in Smallville really bugged me. How hard would it be to make one of the zillion wings of Smallville Medical Center look a little different so it can be the Metropolis hospital. Puhleeze. I agree with an earlier poster that the music is much better this year. That is one of the things I think that really hooked me on Smallville. I don't listen to a lot of comtemporary music, but I loved the music from this show. I actually bought both the Talon Mix and the Metropolis Mix CDs. I wish they would put out another one. :) I don't like Lois sleeping with the boss. I think she is so above that and that really cheapens her character. I love Lois and her quit wit and rushes into everything headfirst attitude. That is so Lois. I think she is the best Lois so far in all mediums. I'm really bummed about the writer's strike. I hope that since they aren't writing they are at least reading and maybe taking the time to read what the fans of the show are writing in all these blogs. There are a lot of people on this site that do a great job of really breaking the episodes down, piece by piece. Of course there are the others, but hey they are fun to read too.

I remember those episodes but that's the deal though. It should not. It's not like the transfer involved blood or gene traits. It was just the powers. Therefore the kryptonite should not affect humans who receive transfers from Clark. Unless his blood goes into them maybe but then it would have to be a good amount of blood.

Maybe it shouldn't have affected humans, but in Smallville, it does, and if they made it to where Lana hadn't been affected by the kryptonite, they would have had another continuity problem.

[Ginx]

6/10 It wasn't bad and it wasn't awesome. I didn't like Lana being the focus yet again - yeah it was cool that she was ultimately evil but in the end CK stuck with her and it was just like nothing happened at all. I mean CK found out all that bad stuff and was just like.... uhm well ok. Boooo....

The super sex was funny though - I had high hopes for the episode after that... just because it was one of those things that we always wondered about and they actually talked about it.

I was so glad that Chloe stood up to Lana in the end - she's choosing CK and it was good to see that Chloe still had his back and that she wouldn't let Lana bring him down - you go Chloe!!!

[Giggi Lex]

The scene in the lab between Lex and Lana was just great. Loved it.:D In the beginning in the whole episode was a bit lame. But in the end it got better and better. :)

[Cyn]

I gave this episode a 5. The first 15 minutes made me want to gouge my eyes out and cut off both my ears, but the remainder of the episode wasn't bad. My favorite scene was where Lana told Clark not to try to take responsibility for what she had become that she was responsibile for her own actions. That was very adult of her.

I also felt that Lois was wasted in this episode. For F's sake, she only has a limited number of episodes so make them worthy...Make them special.

So....

The Good: Clark unable to accept Dark Lana and Chloe threatening Lana.
The Bad: Lois/Grant.
The Ugly: Clana sex. *shudders*

[jesslang]

Yea i would have to say the sex EartrhQuake seen was ..welll ....ok ....it was something you dont see every day...

[malrrmustafa]

the worst episode ever.....am sorry but i have strong averson to this Clark Lana thing...i always skip those corny scenes...cant wait to see it end...i know it will definitely...

[faith_may]

Amazing episode

[Mw511]

Ill be the first to say it, I really didnt like this episode. I loved every part with clark chloe and lex, but lana just ruined the episode for me. Alot of people hated Lana last season, but to tell you the truth, I could not stand her in this episode. I dont know why. I just loved how close Clark was to getting angry at her near the end of the episode but then he just forgives her like that. I gave it 6/10. I didnt hate this ep, I just dont like the new clark + lana this season.

I gotta agree with you!! I'm kinda bored of clana... I'm fan of lois and clark! hehehehe :D

[Mr. T]

It was great in the end with Chloe standing in defense of Clark, letting Lana know that she will not allow her to hurt Clark in anyway. I gave this episode a 10 (as I always give smallville episodes that)

[lana 9]

love it go lana

[Meteror Freak]

Not bad, gave it a 9. Very strong start, but bad Lana acting lowered it a point.

excuse me? Lana rocks! Anyway, I gave it a 2 cause they're making Lana seem like a psycho. One minute she's in love with lex, then she's just obsessed, then she hates him. It's like they can't make up their minds about what do to with Lana so they decide to do EVERYTHING with her character. (At the same time, I might add) And the result is...sudden multiple personality disorder. One minute she kisses clark, then she kisses lex, then she throws lex against a wall, then she fights Clark! Then she tells Clark she loves him at the barn! Wow, great writing. Poor Kristen, she must be so pissed off at the writers for being so stupid. :mad:

[yoxodo]

Not one of the better SV episodes. The only good thing about it is that everyone gets to see what an evil, crude, insensitive person Lana really is. I did like the deleted scene, though, when Lionel whips out the big chunk of K.

[Bane]

Awesome episode, loved every bit of it. 9/10

[Nimkong]

This was a good episode.Liked the one where clark transfers his powers and the brainac storyline.But lana being evil is a little bit over the edge

[SGuthrie27]

Ugh. Double-ugh. Triple-ugh. Me not likey. Super-powered Lana... no. Super-powered Lana and Clark creating earthquakes... no. Super-powered Lana tossing Lois across the Daily Planet and knocking her unconscious... no. No, no, definitely no. "Wrath" generated a lot of wrath in me, to be quite honest, so I give it 1 out of 10 Project Scion bottles. The only thing I DID like was the brief scene where Chloe warned Lana that she wouldn't let her take Clark down with her.

[Bingo]

I gave this episode a 10.

This is one of those rare episodes when everyone spills what has been on their mind for a while. everyone did a great acting job, KK was great as confused Lana. one of the best Clana scenes this season, and possibly the entire series. It focused on both of them being honest to the core, it was sad to watch the pain and confusion interchangeably switch between both Lana and Clark.

This is what every true drama show needs, confusion between emotions, the feeling of regret, the questioning of ones actions. The extent of ones love to another person, and the consequence. I guess you have to be in love at least once or twice in your life to truly applicate a scene like that.

The music was a wonderful addition. I'm happy that lyrical music has been reintroduced into this season of smallville. Music can be immensely helpful in making good television.

I agree,this episode was powerful and KK did such a brilliant job,she should be credited the most for the success of this episode(viewership-wise).
They should`ve explored this new layer of Lana further.

[clark_superman]

Just rewatched this episode today, I think it was the second time seen it. It wasn't bad, and It was a good viewing.

KK did a good job in this episode.

But you know looking at where we are now and this episode, was a good set-up for saying why Lana wasn't right for Clark with Lionel and Chloe giving there points.
