It's more like him getting blitzed than just having his switch flipped from good to evil.
So Bo did raise a son who steals and lies, but he seems very unbothered by it.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, a serial killer is really just a nun without a superego, right?
Okay, that didn't come out as mellifluously as I'd hoped. Actually, the red kryptonite seems to work a lot like PCP, with the complete loss of inhibitions, the "I'm indestructible" chestnut, and the random taking off of clothing. Clark always talked really really slowly, however.
Eh. Episode was kind of boring, and I'm glad I had baseball to distract me. Maybe it's just not a fun show when 8 people aren't snarkingon it actively.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I think Bo figures that stealing and lying aren't so bad compared with patricide, unless it's extraterrestrial patricide.

This is how I saw it, too. Clark knows what he's doing -- he just doesn't care.

There are gradations of wrong, sure, but he's still acting like Clark never did those things. But like it was Clark about to kill him.
It's sloppy.

Bo's not exactly famous for his incisive logic. Mr. Never Waste a Neuron Twitch when a Platitude Will Do.

Yeah, and neither are the Smallville writers. I just wanted him to get punched in the head, really. I'm channelling my disappointment where I should know better.

Clark has done dishonest things before - and Bo is used to the lying. I think he was just so relieved that all Clark had done so far was steal, that he wasn't killing, or, god forbid, having sex (gay or otherwise) that it seemed like a forgiveable sin.

I have a plan.
The episode was a rather off-pace.
Which was amazingly un-related to my utter confusion as to how Kansas has a port city. Unless Metropolis is so tall, you can see it from Kansas and the Smallville travel agency has REALLy good deals to the coast (or Great Lakes).

Or why Helen would so readily get back on a plane after the recent crash. One would think she'd suggest a train or boat instead.
