Indeed we do, sir. "not to mention the DP thing(rolleyes)". That DP thing is kind of the meat and potatoes of Superman. "now all of a sudden their friendship is strained(again eye rolls)". Well, Chloe *did* just lose the man she loved because of a decision that Clark made...and then he refused to bring him back on top of it. You ever been in love, Peez? "lois seem to be second choice for clark". I do agree that you have a point here. I've addressed my own concerns about this very thing in my review(s). "it’s all comic book crap anyways". Wait...when exactly *did* you like this show? lol "just because these guys use the characters from Superman,doesn’t mean it’s great". That has never been argued. "no wonder the rating/demos or low". Say what you will, but people do have lives, and the casual fans who would watch Smallville on Thursdays when they're at home watching television anyway aren't necessarily also the hardcore ones who will sit at home on a Friday night so as not to miss it like myself. It does make a big difference. Also, DVR ratings don't count, which is how most of us are watching these days. "me i’m done". We shall observe a minute of silence here at SVPH. "for the ones that are still loving it enjoy(thumbs up)". Thanks, man. That really means a lot to us. Peez -

“not to mention the DP thing(rolleyes)”. That DP thing is kind of the meat and potatoes of Superman.

I really appreciate the feedback so much! Azhar - Wow, that really means the world to me. I'm glad you got so much out of it. Reading comments like yours really makes me feel a part of the fan community. And how dare you point out that Greekboy has a name?! Blasphemy! Now who am I gonna make fun of? lol Pete – Thanks once again. I really appreciate the feedback so much!

So there you have it, a name :P Also, I was rewatching some parts of the episode and I stumbled upon the fact that Tess refers to “Greekboy” as Stuart/Stewart. So there you have it, a name :P

You've got a great engaging style and you read the characters really well, as well as the acting abilities of the actors portraying them. It was so great to read this review because each point in this review was one which I completely agreed with or had very similar feelings. Especially your highlighting Tom's subtle acting style which I've come to appreciate since the beginning of Season 8 and Lois-Clark. I know Smallville has a lot of love for Lana, but come on, after Season 8 and this wonderful scene they had in this episode how can you not root for Lois-Clark. This was the way it was meant to be always, it was always Lois and Clark. I've been a fan of this show and this site since the beginning and I'm really glad I decided to come back and watch season 8 because I had almost walked away from the series after I declared it to have become stale past season 5. I really enjoyed some of the episodes last season and I'm loving this season so far. Mainly because I am a Superman homer and I love when the mythos is done justice. I had so many concerns on how Doomsday, Metallo and Zod would work in a world pre-Superman, but Smallville has done it with the charm and the unique style that only Smallville could do. I'm so hooked on this season, that I am actually looking forward to Smallville episodes more than Heroes! Hey Dan,

Glad to hear that Julian Sands will be in the show later this season as Jor-El. I loved him in the Warlock movies. He plays a great serious character. This is starting to shape out to be the best season of Smallville yet...not necessarily the last but definitely one of the best. Between Lois' dream that they are keeping us in suspense about until mid-season, Tess finding about the House of El Kryptonian symbol on Earth, the budding romance between Clark and Lois, and the what will be fractured friendship between Clark and Chloe, this season will be one of those ones we as fans will re-watch all summer to gear up for Season 10. If there is not a 10th season, then this season will certainly be a fitting ending to what has been the WB's/CW's greatest and longest running series. Pete Dan,

Well, I admit that I do devote quite a bit of time to retelling the plot line. The reason I try and do that is that, while probably anyone reading this has, as you say, seen the episode, many don't have it in front of them or remember it scene for scene. As such, I think it's important that people know exactly to what I'm referring in what I write. In any case, my writing structure is such that you can probably skip the first sentence or two of each paragraph (which typically set up the scene for comment) and save yourself about 90% of the recap material.
