[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 1988497, member: 4779"] Point #1: Sarah Carter's Alicia was ADORABLE. I liked her the first time around and I loved her in this ep. She is so girly without being annoying that I just can't resist her. Doesn't hurt that she is smokin' hot (as are all the female leads on the show, including Erica Durance and Annette O'Toole). Point #2: Alicia and Clark had awesome chemisty. As mentioned, I really wish that she could become a semi-regular on the show but I think she's gonna get offed next week (note that I have no idea if this is true or not). :( The great thing about chemistry is that it made all the romance scenes actually work. The two characters actually *desired* each other and you could see the longing in Clark's eyes. He was crushed when she betrayed him and he still forgave her. Point #3: I so want to believe that Lionel has turned the corner and believes what he says. But like Lex, I am untrusting. The beauty of the situation is that the writers could go either way and still make an excellent story out of it. Any way you slice it, there is no good to come of the situation for Lex. He's too far gone to ever really trust his dad. His emotional walls are build too high and he's cultivated a healthy mistrust that will only be broken by his father's ultimate sacrifice (the inevitable death where he saves Lex's life and drives Lex further into his villain persona). So little screen time and such a wonderful plot line. Point #4: Lana's romance scenes were ackward and a little forced. I'm pretty sure that was done on purpose to show the contrast between her situation and Clark's but it still made me feel uncomfortable. Kinda like walking in on a mother/sister by accident while they are undressed. Ew. Ew. Ew. [color=DeepSkyBlue]Final Grade:[/color] 3.5 out of 4 stars. I really liked this ep overall. High marks for making me really feel for Clark, Alicia, Lex, Lionel and Chloe. [u][size=1] The Ratings Breakdown [/size][/u] [size=1] 4 = Classic. Blew me away from start to finish. 3 = Very good. Entertaining and a worthwhile experience. 2 = Average. Watchable but flawed. 1 = Terrible. Unwatchable dreck. 0 = I wish I had that time back. So bad that I may never watch the show again.[/size] [/QUOTE]
