Poor Lex

Smallville's back (phew! I can breathe again). Fairly satisfying episode. I like the Clark/Lana split--it'll be temporary, I know, which is part of the reason I like it. Reason #2 to like it is Ma Kent's meddling . . . great mom.

The Lex storyline was interesting, a little on the silly side, but I can live with it. Gave Michael Rosenbaum some great stuff to do tho' . . . best actor on the show--hands down.

Best part of all was the Blast-from-the-Past trio (or is that quartet?)...Clark's vanquished foes going for a little revenge. It was great to see them in the opening scene, nice to see that Clark learned enough from his previous exposure leech-boy that he could take care of him in a few minutes . . .
