Clark returns from the Fortress of Solitude a little bit different, some would even say…bizarre.
Interesting.
Meanwhile, Chloe’s life is in danger yet again and the mysteries around Grant get a little murkier.
Sounds like a typical Tuesday in Smallville to me.
The Random:
1. So on a scale of one to Chernobyl, how pissed is Chloe going to be when she finds out Lois lied about breaking it off with Grant? Whatever the final rating, it’s gonna be epic.
2. Lois decides to employ those investigative journalism skills…by jumping and nearly concussing the delivery guy she thinks is trying to kill her. She’s just about ready for a job at the New York Times since she dove in without a fact check.
3. Chloe’s bomb is on her person due to a carefully placed Secret Santa present which is totally messed up—I’m pretty sure the rules were nothing over $10.00 this year.

The Awesome:
1. A lot of the fun in the episode is seeing Lois try to do her job knowing that Chloe is in imminent danger without being able to warn her in any way since her tormentor seems to have his bases covered in preventing her from alerting anyone. It’s Lois a bit out of her element and adds a greater degree of danger than we’re used to. And she’s got a way to go before she can match wits with Lex…who just bought the Daily Planet out of spite.
2. Watching all of the dominoes fall into place for Grant when he realizes why Adrian Cross has all of his memories and what exactly Project: Gemini was all about, especially when Lex out and out shoots Adrian in the chest is a pretty good Keyser Soze moment for poor Grant. That family is jacked up, that’s for sure.
3. All right, so the final twist of the end, that Clark is really Bizarro, is pretty creepy and well handled because it seems to come out of left field. Oh, now don’t go crying about spoilers—the episode’s four years old, your statute of limitations is well passed. And, by the way, they’ve finally figured out that Brainiac is still out there so deal with that, too…

Naturally, Lana likely won’t notice.

The WTF?!:
1. No one on any of these types of shows ever seems to set out to prove they’re not crazy by doing something decidedly non-crazypants. No, it’s always, “I’m not crazy. I’ve just set a bomb on your cousin to prove it.” Gotta wonder how much would actually get accomplished if we cut out the nutjob middlemen…
2. So, Lana has a team of people she’s managed to assemble through the Isis Foundation, apparently staffed with geniuses of the non Apple Store variety, thankfully, even though it was in operation for, what, like ten minutes. She had a few million bucks to play with, but where did the girl who failed Coffeehouse 101 and Remedial Babysitting get the know how to pull such an operation together?
3. It sure is a good thing no one needed to use the elevator in any of the time that Chloe and Jimmy were stuck in there with a bomb. I mean, it’s not like it’s the only one in the newsroom on a crowded evening, right? Either way, we get to see the one thing I was hoping would be forgotten—Chloe’s a Level Six Healer, but she has to be crying. My head hurts.

your cousin with a bomb and forcing you to hold your boss at gunpoint while raving about human cloning.” |
