1) Way to protect and conceal your top secret lab there with a flimsy iron gate that skinny women can squeeze through, Lex. Although, in your defense, most women are not as skinny as Lois and Chloe.

2) Yay! Lex is so cool he can even send unmarked helicopters off to pick up mysteriously sick little boys and this entire thing will only rate one tiny line in a police report. I like Lex.

3) Yay! Mysterious Krypton person that shows up just in time to save everyone's favorite slime!

4) Nay! What is this, turning Lionel into one of the good guys??? NAY! NAY! NAY!

5) Nay! Lex, introduce your wife to S/M by degrees, not by just slapping her at random moments.

6) Yay! Lois is dead! Hopefully, really really really dead, to lower my annoyance level with this show.

7) Yay! Lana is dead. Hopefully, really dead, to lower my annoyance level with this show. And now, Clark and Lex have lost the last barrier between them and all of this Unresolved Gay Sexual Tension! Come on, Clark; you can lose those clothes at super-speed!

8) Way! Way! Wai---t! What is this new "Chloe sheds a tear and suddenly dies" thing? More specifically, what is with her doing this for Lois? We don't like Lois! Go back and die, Lois!

9) Yay! Lois is drowning! But wait! If she drowns, Chloe drowns. That would be sad. Luckily, I sense a miraculous save in next season's premiere.

10) Yay! Lionel is drowning. Wait. I like Lionel. Not yay. But wait! I sense another miraculous save in next season's premiere.

11) Yet another argument against too much reliance on hydroelectric power: you never know when some questionable alien will, through a series of highly unlikely coincidences, create another even more questionable alien and start throwing aliens through dams. This is the sort of thing that civil engineers never think of.

12) Yay! Bizarro! And this one speaks regular English. Coolness!

On #3, That mysterious Kryptonian has been in the show for a few episodes, at least. He was in the remarkably Buffy-like psychiatric asylum episode. I haven't seen too many of the episodes lately, just a few now and then.

#8, It was suggested previously that Chloe was a meteorite-changed "freak" like all the many freaks she has catalogued and reported over the years of the show. They had never revealed just how the kryptonite had affected her... and presumably, that was it. The visual implication was that Chloe died, transferring her life to save her idolized cousin from dying, but who can say what can happen over a summer?

And #12... I must admit I didn't see the Bizarro thing coming. I really hope he doesn't come from a planet shaped like a cube. That was always silly. Now, having been released from the phantom zone, as some sort of parasite-cum-genetic-marauder? Pretty cool.

....err, that's the latin use of the word "cum," not the other usage. No matter how spoogey the thing was.

#3 I haven't seen many episodes this season, but I could tell he was a reoccuring character. Still, awfully convenient.

#8 I'm not surprised that Chloe's gained some super powers, but I have to say that if she's going to need to cry every time she uses her powers, that's inconvenient, and if her powers turn on every time she cries, then she's been remarkably stoic for awhile.

#12 I caught on when Bizarro said he was "bizarre." I must say, the black clothing looks much better on Tom Welling then the red shirt.

Yeah, I caught on when he said Bizarre, too. I meant before that he was oozy black ghostly thing, with the occasional hint of humanoid features. Nice way to spring the surprise, I guess.

...and as far as I'm concerned, Tom Welling looks even better without any shirt at all. Even when they had to use a butt-double in an earlier season.

The "mysterious Kryptonian" is not a Kryptonian. Based on his appearance, abilities and the "Mars" reference from the first episode, he is, most likely, the Martian Manhunter.

This is indeed the case.
He has been referred to as such in some media since the asylum episode.

and was reinforced in his first appearance by his leaving behind Oreo cookies, a trade mark begun back in the Giffen era JL.

It is Jon Jonn'z the Martian Manhunter. From what I can tell, I think he is much more involved with the Kryptonian story than anything they did with him in the comic.
But then, to make this more usable for story structure, Krypton has been majorly revamped. In the comics it tended towards insular xenophobia. In Smallville it doesn't quite seem that way. It definitely had more ties with Earth. (Though that seems to be changing with the comics and it's current run towards total CRISIS (add your second name here) what ever they're planning.

Ah, I missed that bit.

I just thought that when he said that Jor-El had charged him with keeping on eye on Kal-El, that he was a Kryptonian. Then there was the flight, so it came to mind.

and I of course bemoan the continued abscense of the best part of this season, Oliver Queen.

Patience. He's been suggested for a couple of shows next season.

Unfortunately, Lois and Lana are both in the cast list for next season. So is Chloe- they want to explore her power more.

The only person in this episode who is NOT on the cast list for next season... is Martha Kent. She's off the show. But at least they left it open for a sweeps week visit from dear old Ma.

I had a feeling that Lana was not, indeed, gone, when we completely failed to find a body. But maybe we'll be really lucky and she'll come back as a very, very silent ghost.

Does this mean we'll be seeing lots of a weeping Chloe?

I'm inclined to believe Lana staged the thing to both disappear and make Lex look like a murderer. There was a bit too much empahsis on the step van that drove past just before the explosion. Besides, she had time to learn deception from the best.
