I agree with you though I am a Clarkfan girl since season 8 though. I am not understanding this whole darkness route. I thought this was already established with the red-k when that unleashes that is darkness right there and when he doesn't make the right choice or is falliable like anyone else. I don't get it. I watched this episode and the recent one though I did like "Homecoming" better I wonder if the writers are trying to stall Clark again or this another attempt to undercut him. I don't get it, I thought Clark was supposed to be the hero not someone else showing him the ropes.
