Ok i have 2 major problems with tonights show.

The first would be how could Lex not figure Clark is the traveler. For started he questions why his billionaire dad would be so enamored with farmboy Clark and he knows there is something different about Clark. You think he could put 1 and 1 together.

Problem number 2 is Lex's assistent should have killed Jimmy, Lois and Chloe. Once she got the info out of Jimmy, they were no use for her, same deal with Chloe. They know to much they should die.

I think she didn't kill them because she's not quite the cold blooded murderer Lex is, even though she wanted to be loyal to Lex. Was Lex the one who had her killed? I spent most of the episode worried about the things my son was hearing. All the "killed your own father" talk, I winced, I didn't want my child hearing that stuff, or seeing Lex kill Lionel. I was hoping it would be sort of an accident, but still Lex's fault. This was just too much, too dark. IMO.

My favorite part was Clark using heat vision to warm up Jimmy and Lois. Although, I'm not sure why he didn't take Lois to the hospital, or why Jimmy had that smiley look on his face.

And about Lex, I think Lex thinks Clark is involved somehow. The whole Traveler deal is now so big to Lex, maybe he feels Clark couldn't possibly be something so "big".

I dunno if this classifies as a problem (what I'm about to post).

How did Lex know that Chloe put the key in her desk?

Apparently, Chloe put the key in the desk seconds before he walked into the room. So either Lex has cameras in the room and was viewing through some portable device that could show him footage of the room while he was walking downstairs or he's psychic. :\

I think Lex does know, pretty much - more or less, that Clark is the Traveler, and by Season end, I feel well get a mind-swipe :\ or theyll just incorporate a way of Lex knowing about Clark, possibly...?

And she did try and kill all of those, and I think she thought, shooting Lois, and leaving them in the freezer, would take care of it, for the most part.

He didnt right off, but where do most people keep important items, in their desk, and not all over the top of it :lol:

I can live witht he second explanation but if i am there to cover up lex's tracks, all 3 characters should die. no ifs ands or buts.

There are two responses to this: Firstly, Lex always thought Clark was special, but time and time again he either saw Clark bleed or get injured. Usually its because of Kryptonite or Jor-el, but Lex doesn't know about Clark's weakness to either one of them, ergo, he suspects but can't be sure. Secondly, the show would lose a major plot point, lets wait for Artic to see if the solutuion or resolution, entertains us.

She was hoping to be allowed to be at the side of someone(Lex) who would eventually rule the world, though doing shady activities is a must; covering for her boss, protecting his interest. Actual murder may be distasteful for the unfortunate lass. Though her demise was telegraphed enough when she tapped Lex on the back and for a moment he looked at her as one would see a floater refusing to flush.

Yeah the fact he found it so easily makes me question it to. Even worse why wouldn't Chloe just put the key in her pocket instead of wasting time shreading a piece of paper that has a symbol on it
