Coming from the royal house of Almarac, Maxima busts into Metropolis looking for a mate capable of keeping up with her…and becomes smitten with Jimmy.
Seriously. What the hell?
Uh, Your Majesty? I was right there. Jeez.
The Random:
1. Holy crap, I was just talking about Shelby like an episode or two ago. He hasn’t been eaten by wolves or slaughtered by Kryptonians after all. That’s a relief.
2. Without Lana around, man, has the chemistry between Lois and Clark skyrocketed. And, yeah, she’s totally jealous of Maxima. Clark totally missed his chance to have the most interesting interspecies threesome this side of the Milky Way.
3. All right, so you gotta give Jimmy a little something for his heart to heart with Clark about Chloe. It takes a lot to admit your insecurities to the person you’re feeling insecure about in the first place.

| Clark, this is the droid you’re looking for, trust me. But go grab Maxima, too. Just in case |
The Awesome:
1. Is it wrong that I found myself getting dizzy and a bit breathless every time Maxima came on screen? I’m going to go ahead and say it’s not just so I feel better about myself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need a cigarette.
2. This variation of Maxima is a lot better than some other interpretations, namely the shrill annoying one that was on the Superman: The Animated Series years back. She’s beautiful, but she’s also clearly someone you don’t want to mess with and can more than handle herself in a throwdown, not to mention smart instead of being some vapid bimbo. I don’t know how Clark found it in him to send her on her way.
3. Tess is really no throwaway character. She’s here to stay, moving people around like chess pieces, kickboxing, running a multikazillion dollar corporation, hiding Kryptonian artifacts, the works. I miss Lex, but Tess owns. But her best moment—knowing that she’s not the only game in town as someone has the crystal and is taunting her with it…
The WTF?!:
1. All right, Chloe, far be it from me to really defend Jimmy’s bumbling, but you seriously still have a love letter you wrote Clark when you were fifteen, back when he had that mysterious Kryptonite fever? And you don’t get why he might feel insecure about it? Didn’t you just get smarter or something?
2. I know it’s been said before, but either Jimmy has a Kryptonite power that makes girls blind, or he’s hung like a mutant horse and word travels fast. Either way, something has to explain why Chloe, Kara, and now Maxima are on his jock like itch.
3. I know Chloe wants to do the right thing, but does she really think it’s a good idea to consider working for Tess? On hacking a computer? Remember how her predecessor tossed you in the clink for that? Of course you do, you just said that. So, what the hell?!
