Smallville: Random, Awesome and WTF?! - S7E5: Action

Hollywood comes to Smallville in order to film a live adaptation of Warrior Angel, and Clark gets a glimpse of what a well done movie featuring him could be like should he choose to go the hero route.

Hint: Nothing like Superman Returns…

The Random:
1. Chloe’s just plain old adorable when she’s talking about comic books.  And for the record, I’ve never seen a girl like her at the comic store.  Ever.

2. Anyone else catch the Wonder Woman logo on the bullhorn?  I sure did.  Although it was easy to miss since we were getting the 619th vehicular explosion in our faces and that always takes precedence.

3. Whoever thought to have the villain of the piece by a militant comic fan is either a douchebag…or a genius.  Because, seriously, go check out some comic book websites.  Some people who take faithfulness to the source material waaaaaaay too seriously…

Doesn’t he just scream “Mom’s Basement?”

The Awesome:
1. Hey, guess who’s finally awake?  Lionel Luthor is conscious at last and finds himself stuck in a total Misery type situation.  So what does he do while weak and bear trapped to a strange woman’s bed?  He makes threats.  Because that’s just how he rolls.  This is, of course, but a prelude to him escaping and then beating his captor to death and topping it off with warning Lana to check herself.

2. Lex’s speech to Clark about being destined to be alone if you’re destined to save mankind is plain chilling, as is the delight in his eyes when he’s describing the villainy of Devilicus and how Warrior Angel failed in stopping him.  Also, bonus points for being able to recall issue numbers of the top of his head.  Reminds me of someone I know…

3. So it’s not quite the Reeve/Kidder helicopter scene, but Clark diving head first off a building to catch Lana and then bring her safely down to Earth is fairly badass.  He just needs to get that flying thing going, especially since he just got a cape from his not so secret Hollywood admirer.

“I just pulled my hand out of a bear trap and beat an armed assailant with my good hand.  Don’t think I won’t pimpslap you something fierce.”

The WTF?!:
1. Let’s add creating “Google proof” backstories of people she just met to Chloe’s amazing Where The Hell Did She Learn This Crap arsenal.  Now Kara is officially Clark’s cousin as far as any authorities are concerned.  Not bad for a girl who never went to class on account of being kidnapped and breaking the law.

2. Clark’s awkward scene with Rachel and Lana is actually pretty funny because, even though it’s Lana, at least he has a real excuse for not hooking up with Rachel, but still, dude.  C’mon.  But honestly the biggest shock is that Lana didn’t automatically fly off the handle and cry.  Guess she’s moving up a bit.  Orrrr, she’s just distracted by the fact she’s behind Lionel’s abduction and is hypocritically hiding it from Clark.  But Lionel knows…

3. Ben’s whole plot involves killing Lana, which normally we’d all be for, in order to make Clark become a hero…because he read it in a comic book.  And yet somehow he’s managed to outsmart tons of people along the way despite just oozing crazy.

Clark, Lana’s crazy AND she’s still lying to you. Open whatever this chick’s giving you.
