Huh, this episode was pretty entertainging - I hated it at first (aside from the funny moments) but that was because I had high expectations for SV coming off of season 3. With my new lowered expectations, I can enjoy it
Some points:
Interesting how Clark immediately asks for Chloe's help first, when the witches are trying to take his powers in the barn - he obviously thinks she is the one most likely to be snapped out of the possesion because of their closeness.
It had become a joke how often Clark turns up at Lex's only to ask for something by this episode, hadn't it? I mean, he's blathering on about a Princeton favour while Lex quietly bleeds all over the piano. Does Clark ever visit him just to talk?
KK did a pretty good job, I thought. I mean, you can't exactly bring a lot of gravitas to a partying witch role, but she drew a convincing line between Lana and Isobel.
Kudos to Lana for the apology to Clark. Shame he ruined it by lying to her again.Comment

[QUOTE=wellinglover66;7787561]Considering that Lex had investigated him ever since they met, rightly so. Besides, those favors were usually to help other people.[QUOTE]
Doesn't make it right, IMO. Lex was a good friend to him at other times, and frankly, I'd expect better of Clark than to use someone just for favours (beneficial to others or not) He said he'd be friends with Lex again - how is it fair for him to just take advantage? (<---not directed at you btw - just general musing )
I also have issue with how much Lex was actually investigating Clark past Leech versus just um...collecting things to do with him (kind of like Amy's Lex shrine in Shimmer) but some of that is to do with writing problems regarding Clark's secret.
Cool that the Chloe thing was Tom's idea - thanks for sharingLast edited by Arbar; 06-18-2012, 12:04 PM.Comment

What I never understood is how Clark was able to not only walk in Lex's house unaanounced, but his office (ok, library, but he used it as an office) as well. Not just when they were buds, when it was plausable, but after they became bitter enemies. Someone I don't like walks in my place, I'm calling the police!Comment

Silly episode for sure but some very funny moments. Isabelle/Lana pulling Lois' hair and claiming it to be grey rather than the real reason that Lois is not a virgin. Brianna/Lois exclaiming "I'm gorgeous, look at these!", Clark's dancing and the whole "it was magic" convo near the end.Comment

Pretty boring episode. Okay, so it introduced the concept of magic and that it can harm Clark. Thought Isobel was an uninteresting character. Not sure if they had planned on making her the big bad (that Clark would have to face off against, in the season finale). After all, they introduced her and Lana's tattoo in the season premiere and then had it last the whole season, only to then have her be vanquished in the opening scene of the season finale. It does feel like they had plans for her, but changed their minds at the eleventh hour.Comment

I enjoy the episode for what it is - a big dork fest. Everyone gets to be goofy in this one.
On the other hand I never liked the introduction of actual magic. I know it's part of the comic books but you don't need to import every aspect from there. The show had such a good start being a science-fiction-based story but then they introduced the Naman prophecy and Isobel and suddenly you can handwave anything away.Comment

Sadly, they never explored this possibility and just left her as a witch, in possession of Lana.Comment
