Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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?

Art Crawl!!!

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!)

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

Well, c'mon. The real Great God Pan couldn't be a Manhunter.

That is the only part of that particular series that I remember with great fondness.

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.

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

I thought the same thing when it happened, but the bit with Alicia at the end sort of made me forget about it in the face of a new annoyance.

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

No kidding. It took her a good 10 seconds to pass out.

Well, c'mon. The real Great God Pan couldn't be a Manhunter.

I really think they would have done better to have Wonder Woman's turncoat be Mindi Mayer, or someone at her agency, or maybe even one of the other amazons. As it is I'm left thinking "We've replaced one of the Greek Gods with Folger's CrystalsTM. Let's see if Athena notices."

Okay, I just read that Krypto will make an appearance in an upcoming Smallvile episode. That hurts my brain, no matter what the explanation.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hopefully it'll just be a stray white dog who eats Kryptonite.
