Once again, the Kawatche Caves cough up an ancient artifact with ties to Clark’s heritage, prompting in a Luthor pissing contest to see who gets to the truth first and a lot of stunted, obscure ramblings from a Native American elder.Those caves sure are kooky that way.
The Random:
1. We should consider doing a drinking game every time someone or something explodes or is otherwise injured in the caves. Just for fun. And alcoholism.
2. You know Pete’s feeling down when he turns down covering the girls’ gymnastics match. Don’t worry, Pete, I’ve got you covered on this one. You take it easy.
3. All right, truck explosion! We hadn’t seen a nice one in a while.

“Don’t worry about him, Jeremiah. White boy’s crazy.” |
The Awesome:
1. Clark’s “Oh crap” expression when he finds out Jeremiah can’t be hurt by Kryptonite is priceless. It’s then wiped off when he’s decked across the room.
2. It’s nice to see Clark able to cut loose and have a nice comic book style throwdown for a change.
3. We may know the answer, but the intentionally ambiguous “reveal” of which Luthor will become Clark’s arch-nemesis is done in such a way that it almost makes you think they’re taking this in a different direction than we’re used to. It’s even better when Lex suggests maybe the real villain is Numan and that he should be stopped.

So, whichever one grabs the glowing phallic object…wins? Uh, not it.” |
The WTF?!:
1. Jeremiah Kill the White Devil smashes open some cookware and uncovers a magical blade that starts glowing and Lionel’s security detail just stands there with their hands in their pockets? No wonder LuthorCorp is infiltrated every nine minutes.
2. So Lana wants to leave for Paris, but she doesn’t want Lex to sell the Talon, even though he has the business acumen to know what’s profitable and what’s not and, oh yeah, she’s planning on not even being there to run it anymore.
3. How do Lex and Lionel see pretty much nothing during Clark’s fight with Jeremiah, or just accept that the blade falls from the sky and Jeremiah is defeated. “Oh, crazy guy got his ass kicked? Huh. How ‘bout that? Want to grab a bite to eat, dad?”
