Compared to last week's episode I thought this week's was weak. I enjoyed bits and pieces of it but the story didn't hold up well. The two kidnappers were bumbling and it was never clear what they intended to find out or do with what they found out. Clearly Lex didn't have the powers he had exhibited or they would not have been able to nab him. If the serum or whatever it was restored the powers then they would be at his mercy.
Other parts were entertaining like the relationship between Chloe and her cousin Lois. Martha and Clark. The little Superman references. The sneezing.
So why can't Lana continue to room with Chloe? What made her have to move in for a while with Lex? It seemed forced and unnecessary given the closeness previously demonstrated with them sleeping together on the couch. A bit heavy-handed on making Lex look lecherous seemed like to me. It works better when it is more subtle because I see Lex as much more devious, sly, and sneaky to be so easily exposed as a cad.
After the wonderful continuity of the previous week, this episode seemed choppy. Guess not every episode can be seamlessly written, at least not on Smallville. Let's see next week...
