Smallville Returns Strong
wsupsm18 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
*very minor spoilers* After the travesty that was "Infamous" the introduction of Zatanna helped to restore my faith in the future of the series. The plot line was interesting, the gimmick (Chloe being turned into Lois, at least on the outside) was entertaining, and watching Clark try to forget his powers and Chloe/Lois badgering him about it was funny.

Oh, and the casting of Serinda Swan as Zatanna was perfect, and the costume designers were at the top of their game. Throughout the episode you're never quite sure whether she's going to end up a good guy or a villain, which is how it should be. Zatanna always did manage to walk the line, though when push came to shove, she made the right decision.

Oh, and any hardcore Superman/Justice League fans will absolutely cheer at the very end of the episode, but I won't ruin it for you here.

The Dynamic Duo
saratonin2414 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed all of the scenes with Oliver and Chloe. I've always felt they did good together. Then again I love just about any scene with Oliver.

Love the rooftop scene as Lois/Chloe tries to convince Clark of his powers and double identity. Erica Durance and Tom Welling have such great chemistry together.

And not that I'm complaining but it is a little weird how Lois and Clark have just been thrown together and immediately become the "dynamic duo". We went from the annoying Lois bunking at the Kent farm to the two of them so "close" that Clark's discussing sharing his secret with her. (Never mind that only two episodes ago Clark really did tell Lois his true identity only to go back and change it.) There seems there was no real transition there. But then again I guess when you know, you know, and I'm sure somewhere deep down Clark knows about Lois.

The "best friends" moments between Clark and Chloe are always some of my favorite. And the ending scene with Chloe officially becoming Watchtower leaves me excited to see what's in store for the future.

Best moment: Clark dialing 911 for help instead of running to the rescue as usual.
