Nice! You picked up on a few things I didn't. I was all in the Clark-is-maturing-emotionally-OMG!! bit.
if Chloe had really been having a breakdown rather than being possessed by an evil spirit, she'd probably be dead by now Uh... yes, and I was a little uncomfortable with that. His methods were validated by the outcome within the episode. It could have been otherwise. Still... I tried to go with that in my review.
Lois was good! Yay! I'm glad you thought so. I think Erica's acting was reall strong and I loved the girls saving one another thing. It's rapidly becoming a more female-dominated show! Lois in protective cousin mode is always always good.
I *love* that he's the one persuading Martha to take the senate seat Yes! I love the way he is maturing. I also found it very interesting, though I didn't talk about it in my review, that he says it's what Jonathan would have wanted. Because I'm not so sure... yes, Jonathan really wanted someone to take on the Luthors. He believed in the cause, not just himself doing it. But would he want *Martha* doing it? Wouldn't he want to 'protect' her more? I love that Clark thinks Martha is strong enough to do this. And I think it's interesting that we've got this developing myth of there being a lot of Jonathan in Clark. But what Clark *tells* himself his dad would want and what his dad really would have wanted... could be different. Or am I just too cynical about Jonathan?
I'm really excited by Martha/Lionel plot too, but I don't want her strength taken away from her. *crosses fingers it's done well*
