This was a weird ep. I didn't like that camera thing, either. If only because SV is usually so pretty and the colors usually so rich. And the barn was weird. I had this feeling, 'couldn't they afford a nicer place?' You are right the Talon would have made much more sense.

Erica's acting was wonderful and she really made me feel Lois's wistfulness, loneliness and confusion.
Erica is so wonderful in this role. She's been making me feel Lois' pain for several episodes lately. It is so uncomfortable. She is so tough and self-sufficient, but here she is falling in love with Clark. Wait, you are right! She was the guy! That's it right there on the head! And now she is being most unguylike in her emotions and it's so very sad. I liked her teasing him and punching him on the arm. I am glad she can feel, though. But I am sorry she hurts.

And I thought the added pathos in that line was that Oliver knows because he kind of needed her too...
Aww, no wonder this ep made you sad. Lois had friends but loses potential/former boyfriends all around.

No, it's not easy for either of them, but they're both very much their 'own' people now, and I'm proud of them.
Well said. It all seems very resolved, even in my mind. I was so glad to see Lana. I wanted to hug her. The old gang is briefly back together.

The hiatus will be long because I'm so curious about Chloe and Davis. Has she turned evil? Will they rule the fortress together? What about Jor-El?

I have really liked this show this season. Better than last. It's fun and schmoop sometimes, but I really like the characters. I will miss it the next few months.

Hugs to you, Boppy dear. It is hard when a show lays a ship low. And if you get that cocktail, go easy. ;-)
