Oh, another dumb thing about paying for the $240,000 car with cash? In the real world, all cash transactions above $10K get reported to the IRS, unless the dealership is crooked, too.
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why couldn't Lionel find him? The boy's leaving fingerprints everywhere, for a start.

I know!
Plus the Metropolis Police have the same stupidity/denial thing going that the Sunnydale police did.

I love how shooting at Kal produced feathers everywhere. Is that a Kryptonian thing? They didn't hit that many pillows.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Clark was following the standard rules for a WB bad girl - wear leather or slutgear, drink, dance in clubs, want-take-have, etc. But only Faith actually sleeps with anyone.
I am wondering if Lionel was just keeping Lex hidden on the family island with an employee to watch over him and duck out at the last minute until he could announce his "death" and draw out whomever he considered responsible for the plane crash.

Madrigal -- I was totally thinking "Want Take Have" -- but he forgot the leather or the slutgear -- damn him.

See -- the leather was lame (jacket only), and they never showed him dancing.
Basically, his evil was smiling at inappropriate times.
Lame.

Well, he was still hanging around in bar, so maybe he had like a fake ID or something. And since he has to wear red or blue at all times, it was taking him a while to find red or blue leather pants in his size.

the Lamest of Lame?
Big Bad Crime Bossy Guy: "I'm the biggest crime boss in Metropolis."
Can't you just see the writers' meeting - "but how do we get the audience to really believe this guy is bad?" "hmmmmm." "HOW????"
And "How do we show Helen is a money-grubbing evil black widow?" "I know, I know! - Shopping bags!!!"
Smallville can't do evil. Which is not a good thing for a show about a superhero.

Do we know that he has fingerprints, though? I mean, the way people do?
Come to think of it, does he have DNA, even?
