"Smallville" 7x1

SMALLVILLE 7x1 "Bizarro"

Man, how can a guy miss what's been right in front of him the whole time.

All I cared about for this episode was that Chloe wasn't dead. They could do whatever they wanted so long as they didn't bump off my Chloe. I had to not think about this show all summer in case it was true.

I was secretly hoping that Lana would really be dead, but they'd never kill her off. So she's decided to hide in China. With a blonde wig. 'Cause that's how you blend in in China.

It's always good when we get evil Clarks to play with, and after Chloe regenerated or whatever, then it was somooth sailing. I was surprised to see that Annette O'Toole is actually gone from the show now. I guess she's permanently moved to Washington, but it's odd that they wouldnt keep her on. I'm hoping for some guest spots - we all know how often congresspeople actually stay in DC right? Aaron Ashmore has also been bumped up to regular along with the girl playing Supergirl, err Kara.

The real fun of this season will be seeing Clark deal with another Kryptonian in more than just one episode, and they didn't really get into that at all in this episode, as is so typical of these first shows it's all about putting away the mess you made last finale so things can be all neat and tidy and ready for this year.
