Ummm...
Can someone explain to me how Lois didnt see Clark "Heatvision" that pipe? I mean her head was turned right towards us(camera) so there is NOO way she didnt see those beams coming from Clark...Then the fact that he was magically healed. Someone please give me a in-universe explaination? And dont say she's Lois...She's Dumb.

It's possible, like his running, his heat vision has no visual component and it's simply an effect for our benefit. (Like when he uses his super-hearing the whole world around him doesn't suddenly become overexposed).

She may also have been no looking directly at him and still had her head down, crying.
 
I'll give this one an above average. Despite the fact that I don't buy Chloe's love for Jimmy and Clois is as subtle as a sledgehammer (and Lois is about as likeable as one), I liked this episode. Good stuff from Welling and Durance (who really looks great with darker hair) and the villain this time had an interesting little set-up. Though what's with Chloe, Jimmy, Lois, and Clark running into every kind of psycho imaginable all the time? They graviate towards these four.

Good stuff also between Ollie and Tess and the scene with Ollie walking in on Clark and Lois at the store was great.

Bring on Doomsday! :techman:
 
I rated it Super. I really enjoyed it. There were a few problems though:

1. When the loser was all the way across the room, how could the krptonite still affect Clark? There have been episodes where the kryptonite was just moved a few feet away from him and he regained his powers.

2. When he busted down the door why didnt he just keep doing his fast thing and rip Lois out of the seat and run her out the building? Time practically stands still when he is going superfast so it would have been no problem. Of course Lois would have found out about him, but I think she would have been willing to keep his secret, especially after he saved her.

3. How did Lois not notice two red fireballs shooting out of his eyes, him getting out of his restraints and beating up the loser all in the space of less than a minute? Yeah you can say it was misty, but she was looking at him and she would have seen him burn the pipes with his heat vision and even if for some reason she looked away when he did it, I still would ask him how he managed to get unstrapped and beat the guy up in less than a minute.
