Another good episode i thought.

Lex returning to Luthorcorp. His dad welcoming him back, but he's plotting something, i just know he is.

The swimming pool scene. I kept waiting for Clark to appear as always whilst gill-boy tried to drown Lana. That took me a little by surprise as one moment he seemed to be all moony and crushy on her and the next, he was trying to drown her?... i'm assuming he just went crazy through his exposure to kryptonite.

It was nice to see the Chloe, Clark and Pete back together (and Pete was actually in more than one scene this time!). And Clark actually doing some reporting/article writing.

Clark rescued Lex from the bullet shot by Van, his realisation that kryptonite was his weak spot and using it to his advantage. And Clark being shot. The look on his face when the kryptonite bullet went through his hand and then into his chest. There was blood flying everywhere and it knocked him clean off his feet.

I thought one of the strongest scenes was between Martha, Jonathan and Clark on the kitchen floor when they extricate the bullet. It was a very powerful scene. Clark is in agony, they're trying to get the bullet out, trying not to panic or hurt him any more than they have to. And Martha calling her son "baby"... awesome scene. Very believable speaking as a parent. Also the look on Jonathan's face when he manages to get the bullet out and he looks at it and sees Clark's blood on it.

And we had Lana going all Buffy on Van. Made a nice change to having Clark save the day. Though if she hadn't, i wonder what Clark would've done to sort Van out.

And Chloe is starting to realise just how deep she's in with Lionel Luthor whether she wants to be or not.

And next week's trailer looks promising too. A pretty solid start to the season IMHO.

Thoughts? opinions? anything?
