What did you love about "Persona"?

[Nospam]

Thoughts?

[BadToad]

The performances of TW, AM and JM

The Brainiac/Bizarro scenes.

The Bizarro/Chloe scene

The Chlark scene

And I do believe the last Clana scene was very effective.

[tariksam]

Where is the last scene??? I think the bed scene was really good...and I am not being sarcastic

[samanta]

Chlark scene, Chlana scene but most of all I'm just happy Grant is gone.
I loved performance of AM, KK and TW. They were excellent IMO.

[Smallvillebabe08]

The Bizarro/Lana scene where she put the pretended she loved him more than Clark, and then BAM! put the blue kryptonite in his hand! =]

[Eri-El]

Bizarro in bed.....OMG.....His muscle cleavage had me in a trance:p

I also liked when the real Clark showed up at the farm, and Lana had no idea what was going on.......and then she was trying to get him to remember by bringing up the "when we were in bed" part................I loved that she felt like an IDIOT because she didn't know the difference.

[MidgardDragon]

I voted for everything but Grant being dead Lana getting "pwned". I liked the way Grant died and everything it meant for Lex and Lionel, but disagree with the attitude of "yay he's dead" so I didn't vote for that one. I liked the way Lana is finally realizing her feelings for Clark are feelings for a version of him she cooked up in her head, rather than the real guy, but I disagree with the attitude of "yay bad things happen to Lana and she is teh suck!" so I didn't vote for that one.

[oldblackmagick]

well lana does suck at least til her redeeming episode next week ( i mean if we have to have clana til the end they better at least be talking right?):D

Sorry, I'm not on the Lana hate bandwagon, and feel no need to jump on at this point in time. She is what she is.

[Nospam]

...but I disagree with the attitude of "yay bad things happen to Lana and she is teh suck!" so I didn't vote for that one.

It wasn't so much "Lana is teh suck" as "Lana the arrogant b!tch." She disregarded Chloe's counsel that something was wrong with Clark out of hand. Honestly, how many times does Chloe have to prove her loyalty, insight and intelligence before she is taken seriously?

Then again, we have to recognize that the characters on this show are often portrayed in the manner they are simply to facilitate the story, and without regard to prior events. :\

[rissaroo689]

i voted for everything brainiac.
but TW was my fav part. he was amazing in this episode. and sexy as hell.

[Dustmite]

- Brainiac was awesome. He spotted the difference between Biz and Clark straightaway, was suitably evil and had the cool snarky lines. Oh and JM looked good :D

- TW was great in this episode. He pulled off two different characters very well. I liked all the subtle differences between Biz and Clark. Very well done.

- The Chlark scene: I loved it. Clark all happy to see Chloe, her skepticism, his hurt, she backs away, he convinces her and then they hug.

- Biz making faces as Chloe talks :lol: I love it when TW does comedy and that was so funny and well played. I love Chloe (far more then I should a fictional character, I suspect) but she sure can talk and Biz making fun her was so cool.

- Chlana are all wary and stand-offish. I like it.

- Awkward Clana at the end.

[lillie_poo_pod]

Brainiac.

Brainiac/Bizarro

Bizarro/Chloe

Chloe/Clark

Chloe/Lana- I did like that scene only because it showed the they aren't on real friendly terms since Wrath. Which is good.

[minerva73]

I voted for everything except Lionel accepting Grant as his son and Bizana sex. I actually liked the Chlana scene because it showed that Lana can't let her insecurities guide her and the Grant's death scene was kinda my wish because I hated him... Brainiac always makes an episode good and Chlark scenes seem needed sometimes. The end of the episode scene was great too. All of that Clana drama and emotion in 59 seconds yet they don't speak once.

[TKFlash]

Brainiac coming back.

Chloe, Jor-El, and Brainiac knowing that it was bizarro.

Lionel and Grant having fun with his son.

Dax-Ur was cool too, loved that he had a family and stuff.

Bizarro was cool too, a lot more confident than Clark and can fly too.

[Alexander III]

The return of Brainiac and the murder of Julian Luthor. Who wouldn't have loved it?

[theotherJane]

Absolutely nothing.

[xrayvision]

These were my choices:

We finally saw the real Lex Luthor.
Lionel accepted Grant as his son.
The confrontation between Grant and Lex.

[Alexander III]

The confrontation between Grant and Lex.
The confrontation between Lional and Lex.
C'mon, those were GOOD scenes man!

[Clarkgirl8]

Chlarky scenes and Chlana (Shame on you Lady! :lol: )

[susangail]

Wow... Lex finally fully turned to the Dark Side... Clana in shock at the end of the episode.

[SVfan4ever]

TW's performance. one word-Fantastic
Lionel/Lex
Lionel/Grant
Clark/Chloe
Clark/Dax-Ur
Clark "I'm Kal-el"
Final scene: the song...perfect

[Bizarro345]

Bizarro trying so hard to be Clark that he accidently began to feel something for Lana without realizing it at first.

[borednow]

Brainiac and Grant kicked butt in this episode.

[jazel]

Brainiac and Grant kicked butt in this episode.

YES, they did.:D
which is why, I don't get, ALL the Chlark moments, this epi had.LOL

[Humdinger]

Ya hit it dead on with both these thoughts, Nospam. Chloe is definitely the most underappreciated character in the top line up.

Overall, I liked the episode, but I'm sad to see Bizarro gone (or is he?). I just love all those super baddies. Wonder how far Lionel will push Lex with this last act - is this the end of Lex, too?

[Welling_is_pretty]

I pretty much voted for everything on the poll (except the sex; the Bizana whatever you want to call it sex--just couldn't vote for that!).

This was an excellent episode (I gave it a 9/10 on the love it or hate it thread).

[redraven]

I voted for evey option that wasn't blatently for Chlark fans. :rolleyes:

[CallMeClark]

Lana getting pwned by far. :lol:

[Nospam]

I voted for evey option that wasn't blatently for Chlark fans. :rolleyes:

I admit there are a lot of Chloe options, but that has nothing to do with Chlark or any other ship for that matter. Chloe simply had a number of pivotal moments this episode, and in a number of past polls Chloe doesn't even appear once. The poll options are simply a function of the episode's storyline.

[theotherJane]

Chloe simply had a number of pivotal moments this episode, and in a number of past polls Chloe doesn't even appear once.

Oh the horror! :rolleyes:

[redraven]

Oh you're right, there is actually only 1 Chlark option. :lol: Whoops.

[Mello Penelo]

James Marsters back. Everything else was forgettable.

[Sweetie]

Brainiac
Lionel & Lex confrontation

[kentfamily]

I loved that Lana and Clark looked extremely hot this episode. I thought KK looked very beautiful and TW well you know, hot hot hot:):););):)

[umm]

Yes, but is that good writting?
And now that we are talking about the writting, aren't the same writers who write these inconsistent storylines and character development, thus proving that they have long forgotten the things they learned in writting classes during their college years, the very same writers who are now on strike so that they can gain fairer wages?
So the question is, do they deserve more money if their work can't be described as quality work, and in this instance it really can't! Far from it!
I mean if you know that people who watch your show are the very same people who provide you with work and a monthly paycheck, shouldn't you feel some kind of obligation to provide these people with a quality show where the storylines and character development are consistent, not to mention well written! Lana's character and storyline, or rather the latest of many awful storylines, is just one example, there are pleanty more which can be used as a questionmark in connection with the writers body of work and the question do they realy deserve a bigger paycheck?:confused::\

I think the problem is the writers are given a basic outline from AlMiles as to where they want the episode to go and then take things from there. It seems that each writer works independently from the others, so that could account for some of the inconsistency, but I think the larger cause is AlMiles themselves pointing the story in pre-determined directions without any consideration as to how those decisions will reflect upon the characters or previously established storylines.

[jimmyolsenblues]

I thought persona was good writing.
I felt bad for clark, dax-ur.
I hated lex for killing Grant.
I felt bad for lionel losing grant a second time.
I liked Bizarro and Brainiac they are great bad guys.
I thought it was a good ep.

[Zod in my pocket]

Lionel accepted Grant ridiculously quickly, but still the Luthors stole the whole show this time. Everything else was weak gravy.

[Ladyalchemy]

Im glad Grant bit it. liked Lex coming into his own. The nasty sparks between Lana and Chloe made the show for me.

[Mr.White]

Persona did have good writing in it. James Marsters was fabulous in the episode. As was Tom Welling, having to play two characters in this episode. His acting was great here.

[dean0090]

i loved the part where (just after grants death) and lex goes out onto the balcony thingo and screams in the rain and it has like a monstrous sound when hes yelling, i thought it fit very well there.

[alejandrita439]

hahaha
i liked everything
liked when the real Clark showed up , and Lana had no idea what was going on and then she was trying to get him to remember by bringing up the "when we were in bed" part then she felt like an IDIOT because she didn't know the difference.

[davidbrenton]

I loved Persona, and w/ Bizarro's love for Lana, I finally saw a glimpse of the amazing Bizarro story arc from Superboy series. I thought bizarro's love for lana and lana's love for him was of the top romances of smallville because it epitmizes what Superman is not...Bizarro and Lana. The two outsiders found their way together, and loved each other despite of the larger story.
