Hee. That's exactly where my brain went as well. Because Faith vs. Lana? No contest.

I dunno - it's possible that poreless, frictionless skin could be a big advantage in a fight,as the blows of one's opponent slide off harmlessly.

Eh. Lana dumb. Swimming alone at night? At least during the school day there might be someone around besides the homicidal freaks to help. And actually, I thought that scene would have been much creepier if it had happened with a swimming class going on. There'd be the suspense of wondering if a classmate will look down and see Lana being drowned, and wondering who Miguel shot. I mean, anybody can shoot into a swimming pool in the middle of the night. It takes kryptonite cojones to do it during the middle of a swim meet. And Chloe, also dumb for storing her private information on a school computer. She could have at least kept it all on disks and CD's and zip disks if she didn't have a home computer.

Or a diary. No one else could possibly open the lock...

All I can say about Lana is that I take great glee in the knowledge that Clark eventually loses all interest in her for the immenently cooler Lois Lane.

A diary if she knew how to hide it - glue the cover of your copy of "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" over it. And then don't leave it at school where anyone could open it up. They established that Chloe knew Lex Luthor bought the school computers and had them installed. She'd been suspicious of him for quite a while, so putting confidential information on them in the first place comes off as Roswell-level stupid.

And the "barbwire accident" - Jonathan would probably have been better off saying that someone had been shooting at their property and hit an animal which bled on Clark's shirt when he bandaged it. That works with getting a call about the place, and fits with Miguel's MO. Though that would have been practical, just like telling Lana that he was just changed by the meteors would have been. That way he doesn't have to worry about her seeing his special abilities, and it'd stop her questions and she'd never think he might be an alien.

But that would have kept the cops at their place, potentially. Their excuse was lame -- if you have a farm, there are tons ot trivial reasons for blood.

Yeah, but Jonathan was best coming up with something that went along with current events - the cop seemed to take his excuse the same way she would if he'd claimed the family was putting on their own production of "Carrie."

Oh, I always side with "your tip came from a lunatic". That way the cops don't hang around investigating or protecting you.

Mostly, you don't put a bloody shirt on the railing. What kind of house does Mama Kent keep?

Martha was busy trying to find the right canister to stick the bullet into, since she'd already used the flour one for the bit of the ship.

What I did like was having Clark just fall down and yelp and cry when he got shot, just like he always has a huge reaction whenever he actually gets hurt. Since he doesn't have years of experience with pain, whenever he experiences it, it just floors him every time.

What he has had makes up for that lack, I think. An injury that scars one's entire torso up, not to mention getting shoved into a blast furnace while the invulnerability's still flickering back into use certainly outdoes any pain I've ever had to keep a stiff upper lip about.
