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

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.

It's a remora, dimwit.
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.

To paraphrase Apocalypse Now, in my experience, nit-picking Smallville is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

No kidding -- and drinking from what he gave her. How can she possibly trust a Luthor?
Pfft.
I wonder what happened to the corpses -- Lana's stiff and Lex's.

Oh, you haven't heard of our many many ports? They're all over the....plains.
I'm too tired to judge anything about Smallville or Angel last night. But one thing I liked about Clark. Right off the bat when he dealt with a bad guy in this ep - when he pulled Mortin (Mortan?) the big bad crime boss guy out of the car and told him to get off the farm/out of Smallville. He was a little darker, a little more ruthless and kind of (could it be?) scary.
I thought, for once, TW did kindabad!Clark well. And I liked it. I also liked Helen and Lex on the jet. And ooooh keep those bruises and scars Lex! Bruised!Lex - rowr.

Hey. Where the hell is Pete? He doesn't care that Clark is back and Lex is alive?

Man, when I kill a thread. I *kill* it.
Was it the thing about TW not doing a bad job? Because I hadn't had any coffee yet!
