'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
MTV Sets Premiere Date For Pauly D's 'Jersey Shore' Spinoff
Smallville: Wrath
(S07E07) Okay, this was the first time I ever watched Smallville and had my jaw drop. Seriously. Why? Well, I'm glad you asked. Let's examine the facts: Lana and Clark are deep into dating mode. Plus, she's been staying at the Kent farm with him ever since she's returned from the dead. However, they've apparently not be able to um ... consummate that relationship because of Clark's superpowers. I guess if he gets amorous with someone, he might accidentally hurt them. Not to mention burn the place down, which he used to do when he'd get turned on.
While it's not clear how they've been getting around this, they sure didn't have to worry about it on this episode. Clark gets struck by lightning while close to some kryptonite, and his powers get transferred to someone else. Yes, again. However, this time he gets to keep his powers, and Lana is the beneficiary of the souped-up abilities. How do they celebrate this event? By knocking boots. Literally. They have such powerful sex that it causes seismic waves across Smallville. In fact, they practically destroy the Kent farm in the process. Holy cow.
Anyhow, besides Clark and Lana getting it on, we also find out that Braniac himself, Dr. Milton Fine, might be returning to the show. One of Lex's crony scientists presents him with some findings that some of the "dust" left over from the last encounter with Fine, and it's slowly been liquefying and becoming sentient. He leaves Lex with his findings, and a beaker full of the liquid, kept in check with vials of Kryptonite.
So Lana gets Clark's powers, and along with it comes an amped up dose of aggression. She goes on the warpath against Lex hardcore in this episode. Not only is it finally revealed to Chloe and Clark that Lana has been spying on Lex all this time, she also decks Lois in the process and sends her to the hospital. She also beats the crap of out Lex and uncovers all of the research he's had going on tracking the Kryptonians and Fine's spaceship.
Of course, Clark stops her in the process, and she whips out some super-powered karate on him, kicking his butt a bit in the process. However, the beaker full of black goo and kryptonite rolls near her, and brings her to her knees. Clark smashes it open and shoves an electrical cable into his chest, which sucks the powers right out of Lana. Glad it's so simple, right Clark? Why doesn't he just charge up and zap his powers into someone like Chloe, who he trusts, or use it to take Kara's powers away when she's acting up?
Besides the superpowered shenanigans, you've got Lois in the hospital from her run-in with Lana. Luckily it only left her with a wrenched shoulder, although wrenched badly enough so that she has to strip down and put on a hospital gown. Grant visits her with some flowers, and a warning to stay away from the Luthors. Plus he and Lois do some hardcore flirting. Was this just a hormonally charged episode or what? They revisit this flirting at the end of the episode, while Grant surreptitiously deletes all of her Luthor files. Plus he had a mysterious phone call with someone, assuring them that everything was taken care of. Lex? Lionel? I'm sure we'll find out soon.
The things we found out about Fine and Lex were decent, but did we really need an overcharged Lana to come into the mix? Not only was she mega-aggressive with Clark, telling him, "You can do anything, and all you've done is hide out on a farm!" but she also made out with Lex for a bit. Something is clearly going on with her beyond simple revenge, and now that her little surveillance operation has been shut down, we'll have to see what else she has up her sleeve.
