Crosseyed and Painless

Whew. I dodged a bullet today.

Oh yeah, last week's Smallville was another goddamned classic that more than made up for last week's cheese fest: they Smallville-ized Cyborg (from the Teen Titans) properly and made him cool, bottomed out the Clark - Lex friendship further as they grind inevitably towards the roles of being each other's arch nemesis, added another layer of intrigue as it appears that Lionel Luthor (father of Lex) has designs on the widow (and now state senator) Kent and knows all about Kal-El, and beautifully underlined a welcome addition to the Superman mythos: making the Clark - Lana relationship that's been (achingly) central to the show a tragic romance that can never go any further than Clark saying "I've always loved and always will love you, no matter what happens" and leaving it at that because to be completely truthful to Lana will doom her utterly (as we saw in the titanic 100th Episode). God I love this show.
