Maybe the Jor-El AI is just giving Clark some kind of weird mindfuck and the super powered dad thing is all in Clark's head ? :\

At least I hope it is. The writers have been doing good over the last two seasons to all the sudden be so uncreative as to just have Pa Kent pound the red K ring off of Clark. There has to be other means of juking out a Superman , right? Lex Luthor has been doing it for decades it the comic books..

Why not let Kristin Kreuk flash the guy :eek: and then just yank the ring off him ... :lol:

I've been watching it since the beginning and it's been pretty good so far. With the way they've had Lex for the longest I was wondering what could actually trun him into the dark person that he becomes in the comics. If what happened in the during the end of last season doesn't do it, I don't know what will.

I don't like how they are potentially presenting Lex as developing multiple personalities or something though.

In a way the corrupted AI thing could make since (except for the power transfer thing). Isn't that where Brainiac came from in the comics?

I don't think that' s the direction they're going. When we first see Lex in the seaon premiere, it's mentioned that he's in the pitch of a fever induced hallucination because of malaria. The 'alter-ego' guys says it to him

I've enjoyed this series since episode one. I really liked the first season and thought it was great. The second season blew the first season's socks off, though! Clark's relationships with Lana, Lex, his parents and now Jor-El's AI are where this show really shines. And yeah, Kristen Kruek is a hotty!

And I think a lot of you are jumping to conclusions about Pa Kent's new found powers and the storyline's suckage. While I'm sure what it looked like was actually so, we only saw, what, 1.5 seconds of him going ballistic. If there's anything this show has done consistently the last two seasons it's to set something up and give the viewers expectations of what might happen and then do something completely different with it. So I think it's a little early to say that the end of the show sucked, since there was barely anything there TO suck and because we don't know what's going to happen yet, so... This is one of the few shows I make sure to watch.

So... anybody wanna help me find season 2? :)

I am so tempted to pick this up on DVD, but I'm not sure. My wallet is already hit hard between Buffy, Angel, Babylon 5, and Alias, not to mention upcoming stuff like Firefly and I-still-need-to-buy stuff like 24 and South Park. I don't know if I can afford another show. Christ, especially one that I've never watched an episode of. Not sure if I can justify to myself that much of a blind-buy...

That's exactly what mine was. A Blind buy, and I love it.

I don't get why every superhero who was made famous by having integrity, being stoic and honorable and all that, has to be remade to angsty, angry, corruptable, and all that.

It sells, I know. But still...the Clark I read about was never like this.

I think it's meant to make the character look a little more realistic/human. If you've seen the show you should know that the Clark character still has integrity and honor (except for last Wednesday - when he was supervillian extrordinare thanks to the red K ring) but he wasnt born as this perfect Superman, so I think the writers are trying to show the path Clark took to get there.Same with the Lex Luthor character. Who the hell wouldve thought that Lex could be written to be a likeable guy, and a good friend to Clark. Should be fun to see how Lex turns into this evil bastard all Super fans love to hate...

That is what really draws me to Smallville. Starting off I KNOW Lex is evil, we all do. Now it's time see how it all goes sour.

Actually, if I remember right. In the old comics (pre-Zero Hour or Crisis I think), Lex turned evil when Superboy blew some chemicals on him while putting out a fire and the chemicals made him bald.

Of course this storyline definitely wouldn't work in Smallville though.
