Smallville: "Splinter"

[WayneLigon]

Interesting episode.

So, Fine is .. The Eradicator? Seems like it. Very cool

That was a pretty good one. Lana now has a secret of her own, though I'm not sure why she feels the need to keep it from Clark (maybe she thinks she's protecting him the way Lex claims he was protecting Lana?). Fine "revealing" that he is a Kryptonian was pretty cool -- it will be interesting to see what he does with that leverage. Lex finally got a slightly meatier role tonight.

I really liked this episode, there was a lot of character advancement to go around. Lana got a secret of her own to keep from Clark, Lex opens up to Lana a little bit, Lionel irritates Lex and sides with Jonathan against his son in the senate race, Chloe got to cover for Clark some more and say "I'd die before I tell anyone your secret." , Professor Fine comes out of the "Kryptonian closet" to Clark, and Martha . . . well, Martha gets tossed across the room by a paranoid Clark. Guess you can't win them all.

Did everyone get the implacation that Professor Fine is silver kryptonite? My inference is that he poisoned Clark, making him paranoid, in order to drive a wedge between "Kal-El" and his friends and family. Fine wants Clark to distrust humans. Definitely an interesting track for the Fine/Clark relationship to take.

Had to re-watch it to get it but that was my take.

I had the feeling that he absorbed the silver kyptonite perhaps in order to use again at a later date. My biggest nitpick is that Clark can now drive to Metropolis whenever he wants when it had been established that Smallville was at least a plane ride away.

Drive? You said drive? Hold On...save the gas money for something else. Run Lad, run to the big M

Rationalizing (hey its the only way i can watch a show with so many inconsistancies)
I live in Detroit and I know of people that commute to Kalamazoo daily, which is 2 hours. You could catch an airplane there and get there in 20 minutes, but a car ride is more economical. Just athought....

Big difference between Smallville, Kansas and Metropolis, which is supposed to be in New York.

Not that I've seen. There is a scene where Lana and Clark climb to the top of a water tower because you can see Metropilis from the top of it. Smallville is a farming exurb of Metropolis in the show, just far enough away that it's not a simple bedroom community it seems.

Metropolis in the comics is in Delaware there'bouts, not in New York state.

Why have I always thought that Metropolis was DC's Chicago and Gotham was DC's NYC? Must just have been a misconception I picked up somewhere.
