Now that I've had some sleep....
I liked both these episodes, espescially "Crimson". If memory serves, this was the first episode I saw where it dawned on me Lana really wasn't needed anymore at this point, unless she was going to become the third point in a love triangle in storylines I wouldn't be interested in seeing. Lois was just plain fun to watch. Watching her annoy Clark was fun. Watching her expresioons of clarity when if occurs to her that, yep, maybe she did like Clark in ways other than a pseudo-stepbrother.
Also great with "Crimson" was how effortlessly the mood changed from near camp to drama. Great job by all.
As for "Trespass" I thought it was a solid drama. What I'm not getting is why Lana had decided to scam Lex around this point. He had just saved her life twice, in two recent episodes. Very similar to how Chloe turned against Lex even though he had saved her life at least twice by my count.Comment

But Jimmy had the feeling first. In fact, he seemed to have had some kind of intuition as one can see in "Noir".

Oh, yes.

In a cut scene she wanted to bow out but both Lex and Lana kind of "forced" her. She gave something from he own mother to Lana saying that Lana was the closest to being a daughter to her.

And we see Clark's true feelings about Lex for once!

Though I wonder why he didn't damage his own hand...

And the way the scene was shown he immediately goes down when Lex stabs him. That means Green K was active (we see Martha). But then the chisel should have actually stabbed him.

I think he pointed the gun at Clark to cool him down. If he had shot Clark and Clark was not wounded his secret would have been out in the open. I think, he hoped Clark would stop because his secret was more important to him than hurting Lex. Didn't quite work. But Lex could have shown up with half an army of bodyguards but he chose to just take a gun with him.
Quite the threat: "If I ever let you slip through my fingers I have no idea what I'd be capable of."
So... exactly when did Lana take the chisel?

But Chloe never had problems with snooping on anybodies computer.Comment

All three start with mere curiousity about Clark and all three supress it at some point. But both Lex and Lana have very personal reasons later in the seasons to know it for sure and don't hold back then. I don't think Lana would have snooped and tried to find out if not for Clark telling her again he loved her.

Something. Anything.
And does she realize that the clear necklace was actually originally her green one?

Hehe.

In fact she smiles at him the very same way she will do later smile at Lex after finding out about the pregnancy. AND even later when Clark tells her that he wants to be with her on the farm.

He behaved with the irrationality of a meteor freak.

Nasty? He was fishing for clues, because he wanted to decide whether to invite him to the wedding.

"When I thought you mattered." OUCH!
And as usual, if Lex wants somebody to not think logical he uses an attack to divert.

What surprised me first time watching was that Lex actually tried to encourage Clark to want Lana back, right? I mean, a short time ago Clark shows to him that Lana is some kind of prize for him. And now, Lex even encourages Clark in it???
Another point for my theory that Lex actually wanted Lana to return to Clark some day. She just returned earlier than he had wanted (or hoped).Comment

Yes. Her reaction at the end when he told her he loved her was kind of a first for her. Was it his reaction to Clark in Crimson (pulling a gun on him and refusing to apologize for that) or her getting some inkling of Clark's secret when she found the chisel that made her start to question her feelings for Lex?

In Crimson, and you need to look at the deleted scene, it's interesting to see how nice Lex is to Martha, and in earlier epsidodes when his an Lana's relationship is beginning, hear him insist to Lana they show enough respect to Clark to tell him themselves of their relationship....then to make a point to denigrate Clark to his face. Over and Over.

In a twisted way you could see his pattern of thinking. With the whole fake baby he wanted to make sure that Clark stays away (that's why he's told him in Hydro) and Lana actually marries him. And when the dust is settled and she's married to him, then maybe they can try for a real baby and Lana will be happy.
Without the baby Clark would maybe more inistent than he already is and Lana would have no reason to not jump ship (pun intended ).

I liked her, but only the second time around. It was interesting to watch her development.

One would think, though, that Chloe and lois both would tell the world that Lois had some bad lipstick that made her go off the deep end, and it affected Clark. It's not like weird stuff hasn't happened to them before. Heck, Clark and Lionel switched bodies, Lex was possessed by Zod, and Lana was possessed by a witch. The lipstick thing was a slow day in Smallville.

I agree. Clark has decided to play soft-ball with Lex and Lex does now, too.Comment
