RECKONING & VENGEANCE Official Episode Rewatch Mk II thread - Friday August 1st

[skully]

Man, I still struggle not to tear up for the big guy in Lana's death scene.

[MrsK]

Interesting that Clark allows Jonathan to drag him away from Lana's body. Surprised that he didn't use his strength to keep that from happening.

[DJ Doena]

Screwy Clark logic is screwy.

[skully]

Brilliantly directed episode. Welling does the whole "do-over" so well.

[MrsK]

I hate that Clark blames the fact that he told her his secret for her death. It doesn't really make sense, and that single thought has such a detrimental effect on him for SOOOO long!

[DJ Doena]

If Clark travels back in time, shouldn't there be another crystal in the past?

[skully]

KK's slow change from happy to angry was well done.

[MrsK]

Ugh - hate that he is back to the lame excuses. He could still do something special for the day. Going a bit overboard with the OBVIOUS lie.

Indeed it did.

If anything he should blame himself for loving her, since Jor-El told him that "someone he loves would be exchanged for him".

Simple answer: Jor-El lied. He knew if Clark would know he'd be able to do this again, Clark would spend the rest of his days going back in time to prevent the death of a loved one on this day.

I think he had to think fast on the spot. He didn't know how Jor-El was going to let him fix things.

[skully]

"Spin the Earth backwards". Heh.

[skully]

Slick scene at the DP.

He should be better at it by now!!
