[QUOTE="Cthulhudrew, post: 2616923, member: 4090"] Flipped back and forth between this and Alias. I don't know. I remember why I stopped watching it during the second season. Too much melodrama. A few things that just bugged me. [sblock] "Jor-El took my powers". Wha? I thought Superman got his powers from the radiation of the yellow sun. How could Jor-El take them away? I presume they'll explain this, but it seems to me they've been less than forthcoming about some of these sorts of things in the past. Lex is EEevil! This has always seemed so forced to me. I liked the interaction/friendship between Lex and Clark in the first season, but it seemed like the writers put themselves in a corner where suddenly Lex was too good to become the badguy we all know. Hence Lionel's greatly expanded role. Then they realized they had to make Lex bad somehow, so they shoehorned this whole "he lies and betrays Clark's trust" plot into things, that never really reflected what was actually happening in any episodes. Lex never really betrayed Clark- and he certainly hasn't lied to the extent Clark has- yet Clark (and everyone else) seemingly despise Lex all the more. I just don't get it. Clark to Lana- "No more lies." Okay, well, seems to me you're the one doing all the lying, so if I were Lana, I'd pretty much be tired of the constant platitudes. Also, is it just me, or was the Phantom Zone effect in Superman: The Movie much more effective and realistic looking than the blah cgi thing they had in this episode?[/sblock] Going to go back to not watching this, it looks like. Though I'm sure no one's crying for me. :) [/QUOTE]
