While not without its flaws (a little heavy on the melodrama, as usual), that was a very good, even great episode! The direction style was, generally, awesome. If every episode of Smallville was shot like that they'd have a ton more fans. I'm sure it was pricier, but still, very much worth it.

I don't know if it would be any pricers but yep, the "comic book" frames were a very good touch. This season overall has been some great shows.
