I'm not sure what the deal is with Dr. Swann. I'm not ready to think he is a bad guy (even though he totally got villain music there at the end), so I'm working on the theory that he had some sort of plan where he would be able to call the key to him if he thought Clark was not ready to handle his destiny? He does speak the language. Plus, it's Superman and Superboy. Superman can't be evil!
I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you.

What happened to Pete?
I missed Chloe -- FAR too much Lana.
And a friend of mine has a speculative thought that Swan is Jor-El.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
OtherKate has a serious point. Superman could not be evil.
And Sumi's friend has made me jump up and down and squeal.

Well, that's a interesting thought. Whatever is going on, I have to say I'm really digging what Dr. Swann brings to Clark's story.
I missed Chloe. Considering that there was so much going on between Lionel and Clark, I thought for sure that she'd be in there somewhere. Lionel is very touchy with the boys.
I can get with the Lex/Lana scene only if I read it as Lex talking about his own relationship with Clark and his own fading trust in Clark. Otherwise, it's just impossible for me to believe that he could sit there listening to her whine about trust issues with her high school non-boyfriend when Lex can't trust a single person in his life.

Well, it may very well be that my friend's speculation is too creative for Smallville.

My reception got really static-y at the end of the episode (of course). What happened during the music-y part after Jonathan told Clark the key was missing?

They showed that Dr.Swann had the key in a very pretty box and was staring at it all hidden agenda-like.
(Psst. I sent the mix priority yesterday. I suck big time - but at least it's on its way!)

Thanks, tina.
I love that Dr. Swann might be evil.

Chiming in way too late for anyone to respond tonight, but I'm finally back up to where I first started on Farscape and GODDAMN is Out of Their Minds sooooo much better when you know the characters at least a little.
3rd episode I ever saw. First was Coup By Clam. Many moons later the second was Home on the Remains.
This is like my first Buffy being Bad Eggs. I'm amazed I came back in both cases.

Doood, yes. My pal Fi's first ep was OOTM as well. Makes no sense at all without knowing the characters.
The first episode I saw anything of was Reunion/Dream a Little Dream. Turned that sucker off but fast, and it took the Buffistas to convince me to give the show a second chance some time later.
