Lois is back and we get the first appearance of another future member of the Justice League—enter AC, soon to be known as Aquaman.But he’s not an Atlantian ruler, he’s just kind of a preachy environmental activist douche.
I think he’s like what Al Gore would be like if he had superpowers…
The Random:
1. Nothing says post meteor shower party in Smallville like a get together at good old Crater Lake which has had a reputation for causing mutations and deaths.
2. Wow, you can tell college is going to be different from high school, because Clark is actually attending a real class. Of course, it’s being taught by a future archenemy, but still.
3. They did a pretty good job at keeping AC’s origins intact, from his dad being a lighthouse keeper to his mom dying when he was young. Well done.

“Mr. Kent, this isn’t Smallville High. We have classes and no one
has died yet this morning.” |
The Awesome:
1. Lois in a bikini is almost a religious experience, and for you ladies out there, AC isn’t exactly lacking in the sexy either.
2. Buffy’s Spike makes his first full appearance as Milton Fine, aka Brainiac, which means it’s only a matter of time before it hits the fan hard.
3. Clark and AC have the classic hero vs. hero misunderstanding battle, but it’s underwater and pretty awesome. Slick reference to a JLA, also.

Couples everywhere suddenly got a compulsion to hook up with one
another immediately after this scene… |
The WTF?!:
1. AC, if you’re going to be a radical eco-terrorist, at least try and wear something a little less conspicuous than safety orange. You’re not hunting, you’re going for stealth ops.
2. After all he’s seen with Lex, how exactly is Clark willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on his Leviathan project? Clearly, he doesn’t learn.
3. It’s a good thing the military and environmental groups never decided to check on the impact Leviathan would have on wildlife, knowing the political implications and total crapstorm they’d bring on themselves. They’re s-m-r-t, smart.
