What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha! This is from the TWoP recaplet of the Smallville episode before last week's:

Things taken an even stupider turn when we find out that Boy Editor is actually Lex's dead brother, Julian. Now, here's the thing: if Lex had cloned him from his dead brother's DNA, cool. That's interesting.

And now I'm watching last week's, and THANK GOD. The writers aren't completely antagonistic toward their own continuity.

ETA: I just finished! What the fuck?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hadn't he? I kinda watched an episode by mistake, and I thought that what was happened.

Yeah, TDZ got very flat for me, but 4400 had both interesting events and characters.

Yes, but we only found that out in the episode after. When it was first revealed, they wanted us to believe Julian had never died. Which was ridiculous and stupid and mildly infuriating.

Oh. Okay.

So....how long has Chloe had powers? Does she take on the injury/illness? And Lana knows everything?

Art Crawl!!!

Chloe got infected by meteor rock sometime last season but only exhibited powers at the beginning of this season and yeah - she takes on the injury. (Lois died and Chloe saved her with her tears and then Chloe died and came back to life in the hospital morgue.)

Chloe's had powers since...some time last season when they kidnapped her and injected her with meteor rock. And I think she does take on the injury/illness somehow, even though they didn't show it, because when she healed Lois with her phoenix tears in the season finale, she died.

Lana knows about Clark and stuff, but I don't think she knows about Chloe having powers, and I honestly can't even remember whether she knows that Chloe knows. I don't know why that would be a secret, but you never know with this show. They love their secrets.

She knows that Chloe was interested in that project so she must know that she has been somehow hurt by meteor rock experiments.

I think that Chloe was keeping it secret from Jimmy because Jimmy was being very anti-meteor freak.

This is all very weird.

Well, Clark stuff bores me so much that there was a significant hint that the person we were watching last week wasn't Clark and I completely missed it because I tend to tune him out. (He was wearing the Bizarro blue jacket rather than the Clark red jacket.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Actually, I'm kind of liking this season. It's had more interesting and convoluted things going on in the superhero realm than recent seasons.

I suspected Clark was not really Clark last week when he *flew* up the stairwell to save Chloe and then didn't seem to notice.
