What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Same here, Daniel.

But as to recent events: damn. They made Alicia sympathetic, made me like her, and then killed her. That's almost a bona fide arc there. And Clark's murderous rage would be interesting if I thought they'd consider it in future episodes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My only problem with Smallville is Clark didn't check for a pulse, didn't try CPR, didn't rush her to a hospitial but instead just sat there screaming "No!" over and over again. I mean, I guess the body could have been cold but it just felt out of place for Clark to not try something.

I think it will be interesting to see where they go with Chloe now.

With you on the murderous rage most-likely getting dropped, P-C.

All is well that ends in pizza.

He probably did a quick scan, and her blood was congealed, and...

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

Clark wasn't in a murderous rage -- it was more a torturous rage. If it had actually been homicidal, dude would have been well dead. In fact, he must have been fighting to keep his anger in check, in order to not kill him.

Or the writing was sloppy.

Speaking of your problem, Kalshane, I wouldn't want Teague boy to rescue me. He did a lot of staring and talking and very little checking of his girlfriend found slumped in the tub.

eta: I have no idea why I whitefonted that.

But! Big Gay Luke!!! I'm so excited for next week.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

It's sad when you get more out of the teasers for next week than out of the episode preceding them. Yay, it's Luke! Welcome to Metropolis U., bitch! And could they have kept Clark and Lex further apart without one of them crossing state lines? I mean, I know the show isn't officially about the HoYay, but it is supposed to be about how Clark and Lex went from best buddies to mortal enemies. You'd think there'd have to be, you know, interaction of some sort for that to happen. Hmph.

ita -- I felt the same way about Jason and his lame girlfriend saving.

I wondered why Alicia couldn't just dissolve to get away from evil guy.

I'm so glad that Chloe knows Clark's secret.

Strawberry disappointment.

Just fyi.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

So that means that Chloe has effectively taken the place that Lana Lang occupied in post-Crisis comics? The (unwillingly)platonic friend/confidante that knows Clark's secret from the early days?

Does Clark in the comics know that Lana knows?

Yes. He told her when he was a teenager, the night he left home.

Back in '87 they used this to good effect by revealing that Lana was a Manhunter sleeper agent that knew Clark's identity and was prepared to use it against him. I thought it was the most effective of the Manhunter reveals. (Partially because it really was Lana, and not some robot duplicate as was the case with Commissioner Gordon and the Great God Pan!)
