I had high hopes for this one. Red Kryptonite + Lois looked like it had potential, then halfway through they brought the whole episode down with the umpteenth "pining for Lana, Clark makes a fool of himself and Lana is upset by Clark not confiding in her" story.

I'll give the episode a plus because it laid down the groundwork for some potentially interesting story lines; i.e. Lana grabbing the bent farm implement Lex used on Clark. Also, this episode did confirm what I thought all along, that the baby is Clark's.

I want tights and flights!

It was fun. I liked the revealing Lana is pregnant to everyone, that was cool. Hopefully with Lana starting to figure things out it will lead to some good episodes with her.

Eh? Where'd you get that from? The baby is Lex's but engineered in some way.

I think this was the first time I found Lois hotter than Lana. I approve of this episode!

My timeline might be off but wasn't Clark mortal (for lack of a better word) just before the he broke up with her and she then took up with Lex. I'm fairly certain Clark and Lois did it during that time.

 

[Fast Learner]

Perhaps, but even if so that doesn't seem like it would have anything to do with Lex's comment. That definitely seems more like some kind of experimental thing.

I really enjoyed it. It moved the season's plot along on several fronts while giving Clark some time to be a bit of a free spirit and have a few laughs. The loft scene was heart-wrenching, and the Lex/Clark confrontation was delightfully to-the-point. The hints about Lana's baby were spooky. Lana ... her time is coming. It looks like she will finally know the truth about Clark. One of the most satisfying episodes of the season.

Wasn't that back around Halloween though? Seems like she'd really be showing if that were the case.

I really didn't like this one. Aside from two things (the bent farm tool and Lex talking about Lana's baby, neither of which are surprising), we had seen everything done before.

Red Kryptonite - done
Clark pining for Lana - done
Chole still loves Clark - done
Clark shows someone his power to only later have them forget/go back in time - done

I understand that every episode can't be as cool as the episode with the foundation of the Justice League, but this one really disappointed me.
