I thought this was a really good episode. The only flaw that really sticks out to me is the usual back and forth between Smallville and Metropolis, but it wasn't as bad as usual. I've never been a fan of Cyborg, but he worked pretty well in this episode.
Best of all, we ended it with 2 great things:
1) Lionel finally knows that Clark has superpowers FOR SURE. The only way they could change this is if he's actually Jor-El, but that has potential too.
2) Lionel doing mysterious/possibly evil things to choir music. That was one of the best things about the earlier seasons of the show and I've missed it dearly.
I also liked how instead of some forced lame references to the comics, we had a cool one in the form of Clark seeing Cyborg's half-bionic face when he X-rayed him.
And when Clark and Lana were watching Cyborg and Kathryn hugging I was afraid they were going to look at each other and think "Aww, and we're in love too". But they didn't! It was a "why don't we have that?" look! Hooray!
This is the first time I've been reminded of that old Smallville feeling(the one from the first 3 seasons) in a long, long time.
The show maybe getting back on track after all. I sure hope so.
4.5 out of 5.
