So THAT'S who played her. I didn't pay attention during the credits and the whole episode I was thinking to myself "She looks SO familiar..."

Definitely one of the best cold opens in the shows history. At first, I thought the fight was going on at the Fortress of Solitude.

The scene with Chloe made it clear that there's more going on that what we've been let in on. Nothing we've seen so far would stop Clark from trusting Lana.

Definitely one of the creepiest moments of the series for me. Kara basically set him on the path of Pandora's Box. I hope we don't get a Frankenstein's monster version of Lara. As Lex has proved over and over and over again on this series, those sorts of obsessions never end well.
One touch I liked was hiding the photo in plain sight behind an old photo of Annette O'Toole as Martha. The symmetry was lovely.

I still don't understand your love affair with Lex.
Lionel is definitely a scumbag, but he's the kind of scumbag you want on your side. He's more dangerous than Lex can probably imagine.
I kind of dislike that whole angle of how involved Lionel is. I get the feeling that Clark flying will only happen in the very last episode of the whole series, but the longer the series runs, the more ridiculous that whole thing is.

| Still, how she put together the monitoring system in his house or tapped into it.. blah. Just let the audience know WTF is going on there or something. |
She clearly just tapped into Lex's existing camera system (a biting parallel since Lex used those same cameras to spy on her last season). I wasn't sure until the agent disabled Lex's security system and her feed went down too.
Another pet peeve: Why the Department of Domestic Security? Did they really fail to do the basic fact check that would have shown that it's called Homeland Security? Is Homeland Security trademarked or something? Are they worried about libel? It's just close enough to being right to be irritating.

| BTW, Lana's DNA story is a "so what" unless Kryptonians store their memory in their DNA, he has what.. nothing. I mean, it's science fiction, but there has to be some element of science to it, and the show has already setup through Lex what is possible. Reviving the dead isn't part of it. |
I'm wondering if the crystal has her memories stored in a similar fashion to how Jor-El's memory is stored in the crystals of the Fortress of Solitude. Zor-El had to have worked out the details on that.
Turns out there was a Kryptonian version of 'Days of Our Lives' playing out between Kara's pop, Jor-El and Lara. I also liked that Lara had been there before and now Clark has a photo of her...but will he be content with just a photo? The ending indicated not.
