Smallville: Random, Awesome and WTF?! - S2E19: Precipice

$

Clark plays hero…and then gets sued and summarily harassed by the new, and highly annoying, town sheriff.

Lesson learned, CK. Screw this hick town and go to the Dark Side…


The Random
1. Who goes to a coffee house to sneak some alcohol? Just sack up and go to a bar. Or a parking lot, like any self respecting college goon.

2. Sheriff 2.0 is annoying, but much more fun than crazy old Ethan. Seems more competent, too. Smallville PD may actually close a case one day. But not just yet. Lex has got this one, you guys just chill.

3. Helen has a photo of Lex in her office, which is sweet until you realize it’s the promotional photo the network did for the show. Really, Smallville? Couldn’t spring for a new photo? Because I know you didn't plug the money into script writing...

"Look, I’ve been in this town for five minutes and I already hate all of you…”

The Awesome
1. Clark cleans house on the three J. Crewshbags and tosses one into a cop car. Hey, if you’re going to get in trouble, you owe it to yourself to make it count.

2. Lex reveals he was trained to fight by an ex Navy SEAL. That’s how many weapons now in his arsenal of ass retrieval? 6,432? I’ve lost count.

3. Lex tells Clark that Lana’s “crouching tiger is about to find its hidden dragon.” He forgets to mention that it’s in his pants.

“I don’t care if you’re the sheriff. I’m Lex %@^# Luthor. I told you. I got this.”

The WTF?!
1. Clark gets slammed for a million dollar lawsuit, but Lana can’t get a case against would-be rapists? Ah, a case of art imitating life in the US legal system…

2. Helen is a doctor, but can’t tell the difference between a self-inflected wound and a defensive one? And she didn’t think that maybe the guy she was warned was abusive and delusional might be up to something crazy? Yep, she’s qualified for practice at Smallville General. Though she does get points for thinking that it was Clark, and not her, that reached Lex’s inner feelings.

3. Skintight outfit notwithstanding, I have a sneaking suspicion that Lana’s karate montage (and after like two days she was already proficient enough to beat up someone twice her size, mind you) was the impetus behind her being cast as Chun Li in the last Street Fighter cinematic abomination and for that, my soul is sadder.

I think Lex is teaching more than just karate, especially since he does get
beaten up every other episode. Just sayin’.
