Y para que luego acusen a algunos... ¡Me algero de ver que no somos sólo nosotros los que pensamos igual!

Me quedo especialmente con estos párrafos:
...his all happened in one single night. (Where was Lois when all of this was going on? In my mind, at home taking a bubble bath, safe from the insanity and uneven writing.)
...One of the biggest problems with the episode was the fact that it completely marginalized Clark and his growth this year. For one, he was barely in the episode.
... Secondly, he was forced to apologize to Chloe for basically behaving as Superman has for 70 years: acting as an independent and solo hero. Superman doesn’t have a sidekick and doesn’t primarily work through the Justice League. To have him apologize for not following Chloe’s orders only served to elevate Chloe’s importance and once again make it seem like Clark was making a mistake.
Which he wasn’t and didn’t. Clark has no reason to trust Chloe or Oliver, two people who betrayed him last season and have never apologized for what they did (in addition Chloe’s continued spying and hoarding of Kryptonite weapons this season). Clark’s independence and forward progress this season was undermined by the need to make him grovel when he wasn’t in the wrong. It was the wrong move and I hope, like the odd out of character writing with regards to Lois and Clark’s romantic relationship in “Warrior,” that it is a one-time deal and we see a return of the mature and Supermanly Clark next week and beyond.
... The episode could have been a lot better if the characterization of Clark as some pseudo angry Batman-esque character were different.
...He was angry and violent, particularly towards Tess, brooding, and, at the end, stuck with his tail between his legs as he groveled for being a successful hero and not needing the guidance of Watchtower.
... Whenever Smallville deviates from a show about a young Superman to focusing on and giving undo attention to characters that are meant to be supporting characters it fails. It failed in the back half of season eight and will again if the sow continues to thrust ancillary characters to the forefront. There’s a reason why episodes like “Idol” and “Metallo” are so highly regarded—Clark is the hero and the focus.
