Going to write a little bit about one of my favorite shows, been following this since the beginning and with it now in it's final season (although it sucks to see it go..going to have to find something else to do or watch Thursday's at 8pm EST now!) storylines are wrapping up, and things are really getting exciting with Clark embracing his destiny.
Last night's episode was entitled "Identity" and it was a good one! (just like all of them this year, kudos to the writers) Going to start recapping what happened in the episode now, so if you haven't watched it yet, and instead have it PVR'd/recorded to watch later YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
In this episode of Smallville, Clark is worried that his secret will be revealed by Jimmy, who finally put the figures out that Clark has super powers. Unfortunately, Clark is also sly (although not a great liar, anyone can see that he's sweating trying to cover something up!) and likes making people who are smart look like idiots (how long was he doing that to Chloe??).
Jimmy attempts to talk Lois into taking this "Mystery Hero" story, but she's not buying it. The two get mugged on the street as they're walking, but Lois fights back because that's just the kind of woman she is!!. She orders Jimmy to take a photo of the guy, but the mugger shoves Lois into oncoming traffic. Clark happens to get there at that moment, speeding in and saving her, but unfortunately for him, Jimmy listened to Lois and snaps the photo.
Luckily super-speed causes a blurry photo, but Jimmy still thinks it's a person. The blur is red and blue, which should make Clark the obvious suspect now since he ALWAYS wears red and blue.
Meanwhile, A guy named Sebastian starts his first day at the Daily Planet and instantly starts flirting with Lois (some guys' just don't wait huh?). He can see people's memories when he touches them, and it turns out he's secretly a part of Tess Mercer's Evil Justice League, Tess had sent him there to find out if Lois stole the Blue Crystal from her. He's reluctant about doing bad things, but Tess can be very convincing.
Clark goes to Chloe for help, but she responds by saying that she thinks a news story about a good samaritan will boost the morale of the people of Metropolis. She wants Clark to have a secret identity. Hmm, I wonder if they can come up with a good name for the alter ego. Maybe Superdude... Superguy....Super Samaritan....hmmmm
While trying to steal Jimmy's information on the good samaritan (now I was wondering, why wasn't Clark using his super-speed right here? get in, find it, get out..no one would need to know...), Clark is busted by Lois, who is busy busting out of her dress (which she looked great in...hey i'm just saying) She goes on a date with Sebastian. On the date, he touches her and sees her memories, one in which is Lois doing a search on Sebastian and figuring out he was in the Black Creek facility "for the meteor infected" . How can someone as smart and resourceful as Lois Lane NOT realize that Clark Kent has super powers by now?.
Sebastian goes to Tess and tells her of this and his concerns, Tess doesn't care since the Black Creek facility was dismantled, Sebastian freaks out because Lois knows how dangerous he is, so he proves her right by threatening her life unless she gives him the Black Creek flash drive.

Jimmy knows that Clark is the good samaritan! Finally, someone on this show displays even the slightest bit of intelligence (and it only took 8 seasons). Clark runs off to get Chloe's help, and when Jimmy arrives shortly after, he is even more certain that Clark has super powers because it's the only way he could haveve beat him there. Chloe has no problems lying to her fiance. That marriage is already doomed.
The next person Clark goes to for help is Oliver Queen, who is chilling on his private jet with a bunch of (very) attractice women and some booze. Wow, Oliver is taking that break-up with Tess thing hard. Clark plays a deep guilt trip on Oliver about how he's no longer taking his superhero duties seriously and how Jimmy knowing his secret would put him in danger.
Clark and Oliver concoct a "genius" plan in which Chloe tries to run over Clark in a car and Oliver will save him wearing a stupid looking red and blue costume. It's like when Clark dressed up as the Green Arrow to protect Oliver's secret from Lois, only instead of getting to kiss Lois like Clark did, Oliver has to wear a cape. The plan fails when Clark gets a call from Lois asking for help.
Rather than give Sebastian the flash drive, Lois fought back, because she loves getting into fights with guys (this is one tough woman!!) . She does a decent job until Sebastian starts gains the upperhand and throws her through a table (is that any way to treat a woman? COME ON) . It's pretty uncomfortable watching some guy beat the crap out of a woman, pick on someone your own size man!!!. Clark rushes over to save his damsel in distress.
Back on the street, a real bad guy (and I think it was the same one from earlier in the episode too? correct me if i'm wrong here... hire at least a couple more extra's guys!!) tries to mug Jimmy. Oliver swoops down and saves the day, and the plan works when Clark comes back and they look at the guy in the flowing red cape.
The newspaper headline the next day is "Faster Than a Speeding Bullet," which is sort of stupid since Oliver used a zip line and wasn't very fast at all, in fact, he was pretty slow there!. Jimmy apologizes to Clark for almost incorrectly outing him.
Having been saved twice, Lois is now a true believer in "Superdude." Lois now has her target set and she won't rest until she gets the first exclusive interview with Superdude.
In the aftermath, Oliver jets off for a Justice League Summit in Europe after realizing that the Green Arrow is who he really is, and Oliver Queen is the alter ego.
Chloe pays a visit to Sebastian at Metropolis General Hospital, wanting to know how much he learned about Clark when he knocked him down to save Lois. Sebastian answers by saying "He shouldn't have touched me" To protect Clark's secret, she touches and kills Sebastian. Whoa, I like this bad-ass Chloe, this power is much better then the one they originally started her out with..On a side note though, when Sebastian was flatlining and doctors were coming in, no one saw her leaving the room and thought anything of it? I'm just saying :oD
Loved this weeks episode, loving this season... I'll definitely be tuning in next week (Same Smallville Time, Same Smallville Channel!) I'll be recapping the episodes as I watch them, with some comments here and there of what I thought of the show... what am I going to do after this season is over?? If there are any other Smallville fans out there reading my posts, (first off, thanks for reading) I welcome your comments, and your opinions on my comments.
