Smallville: Random, Awesome and WTF?! - S5E2: Mortal

After the events of the season premiere, Clark is left without his powers and goes about living life as an ordinary human. Yeah, because that’s going to last.

Just imagine six more seasons of teen angst on Smallville 90210.


The Random:
1. Lex looking at Lionel from the other side of the crazy glass is a nice flip from when he was institutionalized. Now the upper hand is on the other foot, Lionel.

2. Clark’s gallery of rogues gets some interesting additions with a Jersey Shore reject that channels electricity and weird little albino twins with some sort of forcefield powers.

3. At this point, I think Chloe’s constant breaking and entering of LuthorCorp facilities is being played as a running gag because there’s no way their security can suck this much.

“All right gotta get out of here soon. I gotta GTL, if you know what I mean.”   


The Awesome:
1. Chloe’s found herself a little bit of fire these days, squaring off against Lex and putting him in his place in the caves. Good for you, Ms. Sullivan.

2. The Clark and Chloe bantering while invading LuthorCorp is well done, especially when she rags on his apparent “super-whining” abilities.

3. Clark shows he’s got some moves by completely outwitting the villains without his powers…and then showing up at the Luthor Mansion and beating the piss out of Lex. I guess the honeymoon is over.

“So, wait, does this mean you’re NOT spending the night..?”

The WTF?!:
1. OK, if Belle Reve is going to insist on housing violent criminals with super powers, the least they can do is get a more secure facility and arm their guys with more than sticks.

2. Clark is getting some—from a woman—and it’s not a dream, not because either of them are mind controlled, not because of anything…and he puts on the brakes. At least he makes up for it later, and it’s about damn time.

3. The cops in this town sure are lax about letting civilians through cordons. Oh, you claim you can stop this? Go right on in. We’ll just chill out here and wait for you to give us the all clear.

“Lana, hold on. Cuddling is just as much fun. I read it in Cosmo.”
