From Zap2it:

I'm in love with this season.

I loved this episode. When did Chole have the Meteor Powered support group? Did I forget about them from a past episode?

It doesn't strike Clark or Chloe that even though Conner-Clone (seriously he looked like Conner from Angel) confessed to the killings, that he couldn't do all that damage in the club? Clark doesn't think that someone that allowed Davis to get away for a little bit, would not be able to do that damage. Bravo show, Chloe's got the intelligence of Brainiac, and Clark is freaking Superman yet neither one questions that.

I love the storyline with Tess' group. Please Smallville let this lead to Tess' army vs the Justice League. It's not too much to ask.

I did like this episode. In particular the Clark Davis confrontation in the hospital. Put them in more scenes together. They've really worked well together. So far they've rocked with Davis' storyline.

WHY CAN'T EVERY EPISODE JUST BE THESE THREE?

Chlark arguing and sparkage

Davis creepy and the beginning of a worthy foe

MM is <3

They CAN do good stuff when the ICONIC & MYTHOS isn't being shoved down our throats.

God, every episode needs to be a Prey-episode.

Wow! Never pegged Superman for being such an extreme conservative. Could he have been a bigger douchebag in this episode? That last scene with Chlark probably pissed me off the most, even though he was technically supposed to be apologizing.

And what the hell was the point of "Reckoning" if it wasn't for Clark to learn that he couldn't save everyone?

Loved Detective John Jones, and I thought everything with Davis was really good, until that last stupid detail with the crucifix. Way over the top and heavy handed. Ambiguity is a good thing, show.

I even didn't hate Jimmy Olsen in this episode, which is the benefit of separating from all the romantic crap and writing him like Jimmy Olsen is supposed to be, I guess. I am slightly disturbed by the fact that he's a better reporter than Lois, but I suppose everyone is on this show.

*sniff*

Oh SV. You guys are capable of churning out great episodes. Episodes like these are what you're show should be about.

I for one am happy. No Lois journalism anvils. Chlark fights and makeups. Clark being reason for Chloe to pull away from Bloom and possibly cueing up the reason for Bride.

Jimmy Olsen, instead of the great Lois Lane, being the one to vow to find out all about the GS.

Overall very happy.

It had a few parts I didn't like, but overall I liked it. No Nois(monstertrucks!) which was really good. Man, they're really tugging on my heartstrings with the Davis story. I just want to hold him to me and make it all better. The acting tonight from AM and SW was really good.

What was with the weird color desaturation in the street scenes? I felt like I was watching Sin City, without Jessica Alba.

I hated Sin City. Except for Jessica Alba.

I thought she pulled away because Davis was obviously thinking more than friendly thoughts about their relationship.

Am I hallucinating again, or was tonight's episode actually kind of kick ass?

1. Chloe being awesome and calling Clark on his crap.

2. Nekkid!Dooms

3. Proactive!Clark

4. Detective Jones!

5. Twisty plot twist was twisty.

6. So much Chloom I might die from squee. GO CHLOOM!!

Oh show, every time I try to walk away you pull me back in.

This was a very good episode.

I loved Clark and Chloe's dynamic in this episode. I'm glad that both Clark and Chloe were both presented as being in the wrong and right, and each one was able to apologize to the other one. I really didn't have too much of a problem with either one. Oh, and thank you, show, for letting Chloe admit that Jimmy is not the one whom Chloe finds easy to talk to.

And proactive!Clark. I loved seeing him listening to the police blotter and going after criminals in the city. That's why I want to see.

Also, Detective John Jones rocks. Glad to see Phil Morris again.

I don't have time to give a whole huge rave for this episode right now....

But... THANK GOD!!! THIS is what this show can do when we're not being beat over the head with ICONIC! ICONICNESS! in every scene! Episodes like this are the reason I'm still (stupidly?) clinging onto hope for this show, despite the Nois crap.

Maybe not the greatest episode ever, but compared to the last 4 weeks... This is the closest to an A+ episode in a LONG time.

I love that he still carries that burden. Because that's completely fitting with Superman. Despite knowing he can't save everyone, he still tries to, and carries the burden that he can't do it. That's the only angst that Supes might have.

Everyone is going to gloss right over this post in the on coming squeeville of Chlark.

General thoughts:

Clark--since when do you care about running around trying to rescue people through the night? You've done this stuff before, in "Venegence" and "Combat" (I think), but this is the beginning of "Superman" of sorts. He's the Good Samaratin now. And he's notoriously sloppy per Metropolis detective J'onn J'onz. Also, you can hack into Met Gen?? Way to Go! I guess you hang around Chloe because he like her, and not for her hacking and computer expertise.

Martian Manhunter-- You get all my love for smelling the fart that is Jimmy Olsen. Also, extra points for seeming to like Chloe and dislike Lois.

Chloe--You're not qualified to be a counselor. Granted, years of handling Clark does give you onsite training, but I don't think you should be leading this Isis group yourself, when you're the freakiest Freak out there. Let's just add another religious reference to the list: angel, Buddha, saint, Isis. I get is SV, Chloe's a god that can bring people back from the dead, that is if Brainiac will let her.

Jimmy-- You will have another opportunity to get pulverized. Too bad Clark saved you. The Climmy scenes weren't as bad as you'd think. There was probably more Climmy time in this episode than all other episodes combined.

Davis-- Sam Witner, you're too good for this show. Honestly, you had me with Chloe/Davis at Isis. Great job for making me care about your character. The chemistry between AM and SW is through the roof.

Chlark fight--okay, both are idiots. I don't like that Clark went around Chloe to get a list of her clients when she said no. That was wrong and he admits it. He also called on her to use her Brainiac ability and they did scooby at the Planet. I saw tension and I like that Clark said once again that they've been friends for eight years. And I like how Chloe mentions that she would have done anything to save Clark back when she thought he was a meteor freak. (Makes me think now that Chloe learning Clark was an alien was a huge relief for her). Chloe tells Clark about how she's tried to save/help 300+ MFs since 9th grade and she couldn't save any of them.

And I have to admit, I enjoyed watching the show open on Mary and her cup of coffee. I knew immediately, she was doomed, doomed, doomed.

Honestly, I have to rewatch the villian here, because I thought it was a phantom from the zone, and not a Shadow Man/Copy Cat.

I think that could be part of it. But I think Clark telling her that his worry is that she's going to put the wrong trust in people greatly played a part in why she pulled away from him. SW said as much in an interview that Clark might try to wedge apart the new found Chloom friendship.

I liked proactive Clark and the Chloom, but I thought it was kind of boring. I don't much like Mother Teresa Chloe.

I see everyone above loved it, though. Maybe it's me and not the ep. I must need a rewatch.

I LOVED that. He's going to lead the way and the apparent "Lois Lane" is going to follow him in finding Superman. Oi. Maybe a monster truck rally will distract her again

First episode I watched in real time as it had no loathesome Lois.

Yay for MM, loved his advice.

I thought THE argument was real and well played on both sides. Neither was all right, neither was all wrong. I think they overplayed Clark's obsession a tad -- it was OOC IMO for him to immediately go around Chloe. And the leap to accuse Davis was both premature and without a net.* It made him look like the bad guy. On the other hand, Chloe was pretty reluctant to change her willingness to trust strangers. I think it diminishes Chlark a bit for Clark that she does. I also thought her protection of Davis' blackouts was OOC but I'm not sure it's Brainiac.

*MM is right, Clark needs a better gameplan. Presumably next week it's the main focus but "I'll be more careful" was pretty weak.

I'm really glad they brought up her motivation is the failure to save meteor freaks. Clearly they are foreshadowing she trusts Davis and gets burned. These two are just out of sorts right now and now more than ever, they need to talk. I had NO sense of Brainiac at all this week. To me, that means Brainiac is not in charge and last weeks flat performance where she declares her love for Jimmy was just a flat performance.

Shadow dude part of the Tess gang. He was creepy but a little lame.

Can I say how much Davis' lipstick bothers me? I know they are trying to make him pale looking but --- yuk. And I like his torment but I thought it was too quick for him to be in love with Chloe --- even with the Doomsday/Brainiac connection. I also thought he was a little over the top at Isis. BUT, I like how he proactively was attempting to figure out if he did it. I think, emphasize think, he also believes he's innocent but clearly he's not.

For a moment I thought that Davis was going to go on the lamb when Chlark clearly had painted him as the killer and Clark was off to rescue Jimmy.

And what's up with admitting to Davis that she felt that way about someone but not Jimmy. A real disconnect after last week's perfect man speech. It's not that it's not true, but Davis clearly had already outed himself with her and she needed to pull a "stand by her man" moment. At least she beat a hasty retreat when she realized that Davis may be right about an attraction. But it doesn't endear me to Davis that he seems a little desperate for Chloe and put himself out there so rapidly.

A few final comments -- puhlease, the Metropolis backlot shots are really starting to wear. They must have spent all the location money on the sets. Also, boo-hiss to Clark blowing off Chloe for dinner. They really are working that wedge. And what's with the kryptonite bracelets?!?!?! How lame. That only works on Superman, not the meteor infected. Someone from the prop department needs to get spanked.

And an overall comment: YAY! for no Madame Obnoxious. Back next week in full force I see so that'll be a youtube or DVR episode for me.

I'm thinking that with all the knowledge of Brainic in her head she could be a good counselor.

Let me start off by saying I love Phil Morris. I think my favorite part of the episode was when he switched to that different persona in front of Jimmy. It was so subtle and so well played. Can we get him back for every episode?

Also, love for Sam Witwer. Very nice touches in his performance. His doubt and fear of himself, how he challenged Clark, warned Jimmy. Wonderfully layered.

I’m not so happy with Chloe as guidance counselor. She doesn’t seem very good at it. Isis has all this money; couldn’t she hire someone with training?

It’s interesting to see how Clark and Chloe’s relationship is continuing to erode. It’s actually got a good, natural build to it and is much more interesting then sudden revelations of love and crap like that. I’m okay with the growing distance between Chlark as long as they get their closeness back before too long.

But Chloe is acting really weird, and it’s not just the counseling gig. Davis confessed to her that he didn’t know what was going on, that maybe he was killing people during his blackouts. Then later Chloe says to Clark that Davis has the perfect cover, like she thinks he’s planning the murders. I thought that was kind of cold and two faced of her.

The last Chloe/Davis scene at the end was good. They have an easy connection the way Chlark have an easy connection. But Jimmy and Chloe don’t have that connection. Figure it out, Chloe.

And this episode was so much better for not having and Chimmy scenes. I like them separately, but not in the same room.

And Clark, Clark. He still doesn’t have the hero thing down very well, but he’s trying. And he’s looking really good doing it. His “The moment I stop believing that is the moment I give up” was the kind of obsession that a young Superman should be dealing with.

Also, I’m very much enjoying the male nudity this season. Who gets naked next week? Was that in the preview?

My main comment is why are they making Chloe so incompetent?

Chloe has no qualifications (education or training) to counsel troubled kids. And the fact that one kid she's tried to help was murdered by someone else in the group and the two main kids they've shown Chloe trying to help so far have ended up turning to Tess and her budding Injustice League only make it more obvious that Chloe is not called to help people that way. Yes, the path to Hell is paved with good intentions.

Not really. Brianiac would want whatever furthers his plans, which won't necessarily mean he's going to make her a good counsellor




Because she's reflecting Nois' incompetence at the dP in a place she doesn't belong?

Sam Witwer did an amazing job with some very trite dialogue. No actor should have to say "There's a darkness inside me..." with a straight face but he aced it (just as MR did in "Devoted.). He did a great job playing the tearful woobie with Chloe, then showing some menace towards Clark. I was pleasantly surprised that Davis confessed to Chloe right away that he was scared he was the killer - didn't see that coming, which is rare on SV.

On a more shallow note, I hope we see Davis enjoy many more showers. Lovely to see the sexy Phil Morris back too.

Chloe being suddenly vehemently invested in people she doesn't know is very Lana-esque. But the closing conversation with Clark, with mea culpas on both sides, was good. I also loved seeing Clark's rescues - the little kid shadow-boxing his muggers was very cute.

How dickish is Jimmy to use Davis's affection for Chloe to get himself a ride-along? Jeez!

I definitely think this is what the show is establishing between the two girls. How both are not where they are suppose to be? Lois at the DP. Chloe at Isis. I would be more concerned if Chloe was all of a sudden so good at helping the meteor freaks because it would clearly be moving further away from the DP.

Now that was good. By far the best ep of the season (not that there was much competition).

No matter how hard they try, PS3 cannot kill the Chlark. Even when they're fighting, the spark is still there.



It's not the first time the douchebag has pulled that crap. He did the same thing in Fallout to get into Lex's mansion.

I think it's more of Chloe over-compensating because she doesn't have the DP and reporting anymore--she's throwing herself into ISIS and helping her "kids." Too bad she isn't any good at it.

I thought Chloe really came alive when she showed up at the morgue to investigate the girl's murder and discovered Davis. That was the Chloe I know and love, the woman who wants to find the killer and expose the truth.

The Chloom was gorgeous, and well played by SW and AM. They have a connection and she isn't about to ignore it, but she isn't going to ignore the warning signs either.

And I liked the Chlark interactions as well--Clark was way too quick to jump to conclusions, and Chloe berated him for it. I did like that she confronted him directly at the DP and then helped him to investigate, and that she didn't close her mind to any possibilities, including that Davis might be the killer.

But the best part of the episode? No EDLois :) And is the show for real: she was on assignment at a monster truck rally? WTF?!

All is all, not a bad episode.

I have to say, I voted Excellent. I really enjoyed the episode tonight. We had...



1) Pro-Active Clark. Clark does it too ways. Resist being a hero tooth-and-nail or throw yourself into it to the point of being an annoying pain in the ass. That being said, I like pro-active Clark. There's less whining and more superhero stuff and that is a good thing. His scenes tonight with Manhunter, Davis, and Chloe were all really good.

2) Davis! Really like the build for his Doomsday persona. I thought his confrontation with Clark at the hospital (where everyone can go see the corspes!) was the best scene of the night.

3) The return of Martian Manhunter. I can buy him pulling some strings to get on the police force and I think this is putting him to good use. He gets bonus points for suggesting that Clark wears a mask, which should be an obvious thing. I guess Pretty Boy doesn't want to hide his face.

4) Good tension between Clark and Chloe, who looked smoking tonight. As stated, both were right and wrong. It felt like a logical story progression.

5) No Lois! This episode was a lot better without her. Hell, even Jimmy the Weasel was used well here and at least we didn't get another reference to him being a sex perv.

I am of two minds about this episode. On the up side: no Lois and Clark being a hero. (YAY!)

On the down side...I don't know. I like seeing Clark being a hero, but it feels like just more ICONIC bullshit to me. It wasn't that many episodes ago that he was sitting and moping around and doing nothing because Lana was more important than everybody else on earth, and now all of a sudden, he wants to be Superman and save the world. I feel strangely cheated. After all the damned stalling, we still didn't get to see him become Superman, he just all of a sudden is Superman.

However, did I see a guy with a cape in the preview for next week's episode? I may have SQUEEED a little at that.

You know something if off when I'm feeling sorry for Davis and wanting to spit stones towards Clark. Could he be any more a asshole? Based on one thing Jimmy told Clark suddenly feels inclined to go ahead and give Davis the third degree and break into his locker? Steal names without Chloe's consent WTF? Are you Superman or Lex dude? Yeah I get Davis is ultimately revealed as the real killer in the end but still from Clark's POV at this point, he has no basis to get all smug and bitchy towards the guy. Chloe had a point in the end and though they sorta made amends at the end. Which was nice, as a bitter Chlarker needed to hear the jerk apologize, so he grew some. Wow, that's an improvement. First adult conversation of the season and it was between Chloe and Clark. You know partners that can agree to disagree might even come into frequent impasses, but in the end put aside petty bulls shit and tell it like it is. Like some adults. Take a pointer Nlois. Still, it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

Go Chloom. Speaking of Chloom though did I hear a Chlark anvil in the end of their scene?

Any episode without Nois is an automatic win and I'm going to make sure to watch whenever that moron isn't on my screen.

P.S. Get Chloe back at the Daily Planet, this mother Teresa crap doesn't suit her, at all.

An episode this season that I enjoyed. Clark was being a major ass tonight, but other than that, I thought this was a good episode. It was nice to see the Smallville that I've been watching since 8th grade.

I loved Chloe in this episode. The Chlark tension was great. I'm so glad Chloe called Clark on his crap, even though the killer was one of the kids from Isis. Speaking of which, this is the second time someone that Chloe has tried to help was involved in a crime. I don't think this whole Isis thing is meant for her. It's not going well and she needs to go back to reporting asap.

Glad that Clark was being proactive with helping people, but he needs to listen to MM and not be careless about it. He identity is at stake. Also, I didn't like him going behind Chloe's back with those names. That was just wrong.

Davis may be a killer, but I am enjoying his character. And Sam is doing a great job with him. I loved the Davis and Chloe scenes, but I am glad that Chloe is realizing that being around him may complicate things and is backing away from him a bit. Although, I don't want it. =(

Jimmy didn't grate tonight, which is good. And I'm so glad that MM is in Metropolis. I was so happy everytime Phil was on screen. I love him. And his reaction to Jimmy at the DP was hilarious!

This is what I've been waiting for this season.

I think the acting was really on tonight, especially in the scenes between Davis and Chloe. The actors did a fantastic job. I felt so bad for Davis and I was creeped out by the way he turned things around on Clark. I must say, Davis looked so good in that shower. More naked SW, please.

Chloe needs to get out of the Isis center. She sucks as being a counselor, I start to zone out whenever she goes on about meteor freaks. Seeing her back at the planet felt right, it's where she belongs. This episode felt very Chlarky and just like that TPTB pull me back in. :/

Glad I tuned in for this one, since there was no Nois. I like heroic Clark, but sadly, it does feel a bit like another lightswitch. Also, obsessed!dickish!Clark was not too appealing. Profiling is wrong, Clark, and considering your best friend is a "freak" and you're an alien, you should know that. The fact that one of the kids happened to be a criminal is immaterial. I liked that Clark apologized in the end, but I could have done without the "you were harboring a criminal" line, or whatever it was he said. Not thrilled with the breaking into Davis' locker on scanty evidence, either. I get that superheroes operate somewhat outside the law, but I like them to have solid justification for their actions. Clark was sort of dickish in blowing off Chloe for dinner, too, but I could overlook that-- clearly he's having trouble balancing his life, and that's to be expected for a while.

Chloe totally sucks at therapy. First of all, in what universe is she qualified to run therapy groups? Can't she find someone qualified to do it? Second of all, people keep getting killed/corrupted by Tess while under her care. Just go back to reporting, Chloe. It's your destiny. You kind of suck at the whole Mother Theresa thing, I'm afraid.

Nois is still billing the Planet for non-work-related stuff like monster truck rallies? Last year it was concerts. Awesome. Why does she never get fired for this stuff? Is she sleeping with Tess or what? And I love that it's Jimmy who's first determined to find out who the red blur is. Hee.

Martian Manhunter rocks. Love the shoutout to his ICONIC! identity as a detective-- only in this case I'm really not mocking the iconic, because it makes sense in the context of the story and finally gives him a role where we can see him more often.

The ending Chloom scene-- Chloe says it's only been this easy with one other person, and that person wasn't Jimmy. Clark, I presume? Why keep bringing up the Chlark if you're not going to do something with it, guys?

My daughter insists there was a cape in the preview, too, though I missed it. Exactly why does Clark think wearing the cape (I guess it's the Warrior Angel cape) is going to fool anyone? MM is right-- the only thing that makes sense in this universe is a mask.

Overall, not a bad episode, and vastly improved by the absence of Nois. It felt like Smallville again.

I thought it was nice of him not to put up any kind of shower curtains that would obstruct our view.

So Lois loves metal, monster truck rallies, and hard drinkin.

She should just move on over to My Name is Earl as Joy's long-lost twin.

Oh, golly, I forgot to mention Davis' shower scene. Y'all excuse me while I paddle around in the shallow end here-- WHOA THOSE ARE SOME NICE ABS!

That is all. Good night.

Finally, a really good episode. I could criticize a few lines of lame dialog, but why bother when everything else was right. The really surprising thing is that I can’t recall a single scene that Lois ruined. There was absolutely nothing objectionable in her performance tonight.

To me, it's worth noting that the show is purposely pointing out that EDLois is acting unethically, and that Chloe is the worlds worst counselor. This is the second one of her "kids" that's lost to Tess' Legion of Doom. This has to lead somewhere, right?

And I loved that Chloe was back in investigative mode and that her tracking the meteor infected has been something she's been doing since the 9th grade--S1 of SV. This has to lead to Chloe's being involved in exposing 33.1 right?

I was hoping that Chloe would have mentioned to the ISIS group that she's actually been rounded up and treated as a usual suspect because of her meteor infection--why would she keep that a secret from the group?

I just keeping hoping that this will all lead to Chloe's writing the 33.1 story and getting back into the DP.

And on a shallow note: SW needs to show off that muscular chest and arms more often--WOO HOO!!

Yes. It was also considerate of him to run his wet hand over a firm pec to make the nipple jiggle.

This reminds me that I am aggrieved Lex never had a shower scene.

Heh, no to mention she knows she is hot and uses her looks to get stuff...Imagine the who is the hotter catfight between them, still Joy is smarter than her so she will lose.

IA it has to be on purpose. If they were rebooting she'd be off covering...something and not mooching off the planet.

Second, from the way they're treating Davis, coupled with Sam's interviews, they know how to write a journey for a character, and they know that's what the audience wants to see. Why would they give that care to Davis, and not the character that's been on the periphery of the storylines since she appeared, yet should apparently, reach her ICONIC position of the DP's top reporter by the show's end?



They're not being subtle, are they? Like the SWF-ing, it's got to be a reminder to the audience of Chlark who did everything first and did it better.



*snort* Yes, her "appearance" tonight was definitely Emmy award-winning.



Me too. I think they're saving it for the end of the season, however I have to question the pacing of things. Speeding Nois ahead and seemingly sticking the knife in to Chlarkers? People are sick and tired of it of the ICONIC and the MYTHOS when we can see they can do good episodes like this was.

I feel like I'm in some sort of alternate reality having actually ENJOYED an episode of SV.

Clark was a dick with taking the names of the group members but I did like the fact that he apologized for that later. And Chloe got right in he face about his hypocrisy. I'm getting the sense that Clark is terrified for Chloe's future and I am too.

Jimmy didn't make me crazy with rage. I've accepted that he's a dickhead so maybe that helps. But damn it if he's less annoying than Nois.

Davis (and SW) rocks my world. He might be a psycho killer during his blackout but I see the way he looks at Chloe and how she in return just GLOWS being around him. I see the connection between them as clear as day. I think he's in love with her already and Chloe is feeling something too. The chemistry they have could power an entire country.

And THANK YOU for that shower scene. I am a VERY happy girl now. My God, Sam is just ripped and so built that he makes the brick shithouse jealous.

MM came back!! More joy!!

It is a PLEASURE to write about SV without ranting, swearing like a sailor, and craving either drugs or alcohol to kill the pain.

When the ICONICness is gone the stories are great. No forcing Clois down our throats in this ep.

Not a bad episode. I enjoyed all the character interactions, especially the Chlark and the Chloom. And on my shallow note, Chloe looked amazing tonight and I hope the future storylines call for a Davis shower scene.

Okay, yes, Clark was a colossal jackass in this episode, but in all honesty, this is a crisis that Superman should go through: putting saving people above anything else, including his personal life. Just don't keep doing it. Smallville, I know you love the one-episode redemption, so stick with it.

And, my gosh, that last Chlark scene struck me so much as a married couple making up after a fight. That's the only problem with Lois being gone: it fills my Chlarky heart with joy so that it can be stomped on the next week.

I rolled my eyes at the sympathetic Doomsday plotline, but I'm beginning to like it. And I loved the conflict with Chloe not being able to help him get through his issues because it compromises her faithfulness to Jimmy/Clark, which made lead to Doomsday eventual transformation. Smallville, that is the kind of conflict that works well and builds stories, not the random just-because-it-is crap that you usually try to pass off.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Lois, come back, so that my heart can be cold, hard, and cynical again, and I don't have to care about this damn show.


That's a big problem this show has. Clark is always beating down on the so-called villains. Even though he's correct in suspecting them for some nefarious, he will never find out he's right, and he should feel back that he thinks he was wrong. It makes him a jackass when he continues to think he's justified for his dickish actions.

And for the record, I think Chloe was wrong to withhold the list. If her reason had been that Clark was obviously on a blind crusade, then it's a good point, innocent metas could get injured or profiled. But had she sat down with him and marked out all the people whose powers couldn't be responsible, she could make up a shortlist of suspects to do surveillance on. Honestly, Clark and MM would probably be the most understanding people she knows. If she wants to see someone "holding up a pitchfork," try telling the uninformed world that there are people among us with dangerous powers. She must be skipping out on Heroes Season3 .

And had Clark told her the problem and asked politely for help, I think she might have done that. But instead he just strode in and helped himself to the list without asking. He was being a giant economy-sized jerk, and I don't blame her for reacting defensively.



Word.



All future episodes should include a Davis shower scene. PS3, make a note of it, please.

Yeah, Chloe should have given over the list. Also, Chloe does suck as a counselor.

Nitpick...it seems anyone can go into the Daily Planet at night or go into Metropolis General and look at the corpses.

I do think that Clark’s actions have been unduly criticized. Once it was determined that people were being murdered by someone with super-powers, the likely suspect list contracted from about 5 million Metropolis citizens to about fifty meteor freaks, leftover escaped phantoms, or an alien Artificial Intelligence. Chloe’s clients were the logical starting point. I completely understand Chloe’s feeling of betrayal, but Clark was right in his actions, and has it happens, in his suspicions.

I loved "Prey". The pacing was good. The acting was great: Phil Morris, Aaron Ashmore, Tom Welling, Sam Witwer, and Allison Mack! Perfect. Could we have that every week?

Sam Witwer had me feeling sad for Davis - even knowing he's Doomsday. Who'd have thought? SW is an excellent actor.

I liked proactive Clark. He obsessed over being normal and Lana - now he's obsessing over being a hero. Very in character. He needs Chloe to help him reach a middle ground.

Chloe really is lousy at this Mother Teresa stuff. Why does she think she's qualified? And how is she helping them? I think what she needs to do is go back to journalism; write an article/a series of articles to help the metahumans be accepted into society.

Jimmy is still a weasel. Nuff said.

And since it can't be said enough - No Nois!!! The episode flowed nicely; no cheesy Nois-wacky-hijinks music; no momentum coming to a grinding halt for one of her grating monologues; no Clark rolling his eyes at her idiocy. Woohoo!

I liked it! It went quickly and had action.

Another wet!man scene. Yay!

Clark was dickish and Chloe was a little self-righteous but damn it if it didn't work. Loved the contriteness in their make up scene. They may actually be developing!

Chloom was lovely angst. Poor woobie monster.

Yay Phil Morris.
Loved the scene at the DP with Clark, MM and Jimmy. Cute and funny. Iconic without being ICONIC. Jimmy was bearable in this episode.

Lois was bearable in this episode too *snerk*. This is all the screen time she needs.

Chloe didn't come across as a competent counsellor, even if she did seem caring. It was nice to see her after the DP globe shot, but it would have been much better to have her look like she misssed the DP.

OK..I'm 30 minutes through it...

And I want to cry, scream, smile with happiness...I'm so conflicted!

This..[b]this[/b] is what SV should be. I know PS3 can do it-have episodes of absolute greatness. Why do they waste their time with crap..when this show can be so good?? This is why I have been here for 8 years.....

No shipping crap..no randomness...real characters in real conflicts in a real plot! OK...more after the last 30 minutes.

Oh..and Chloe...Real!Chloe...it's good to have you back. I love how she gets all up in Clark's face in the DP!

Quoted for truthiness! ;)

I loved this episode. I really do think it's the first episode I've truly, honetly loved this season. It flowed rather nicely and there wasn't much filler. But most importantly...

Clark. You see, writers? You do NOT need to shove the epic!love of Nois and Clark down our throats in order to tell the story of Superman. All you need is exactly what he did after the credits. Running around, saving people, a red blur roaming the streets. I loved seeing him do that!
