Bizarro was good. Better than I expected, much better than mess that was second part of season 6, but not one of the better premiers.
Still, if they keep it this way the season just might turn out to be OK.
The Good:
- Bizarro. He was awesome and it was obvious Tom had fun playing him. BTW *love* his voice!
- Effects were cool. Especially Bizarro's face.
- Clark saving the kid and his Dad. How Superman was that? Loved the little smile and nod before he took off.
- New credits looks shiny! A bit disappointing that Justice power walk isn't there, but I guess they wanted to keep it purely Smallville/Superman, no other superheroes.
- First Kara scene - she really did look very angelic!
- Shirtless Bizarro. >:) Cool healing scene.
- Clois and Bizarro. Mwah, that was fun.
- Music over the scene when Chloe died and they called it. Gorgeous score.
- Superhearing and Chlark morgue scene.
- CLEX! It's alive. Nice to see Bizzaro with Clark's memories spell it out.
- Lex refusing to turn against Clark.
- Martian Manhunter!! \o/ "While humanity is your greatest strength, it's also your biggest vulnerability." Great scene! "The yellow sun."
- Clark vs. Bizarro. Especially Clark healing in the sun.
- Lois not giving Clark a hard time, hugging him, but then threatening him if he ever grabs her ass again. lol
- Last Clark/MM scene. Clark finally started to sound like a guy who will grow up to be Superman one day.
- End montage wasn't bad.
- Supergirl!! The flying looked cool.
The Bad:
- Story was all over the place, many things weren't explained. They could have tried a bit harder. For example did Lois knew Chloe died? Came back to life? Did she see her after that? Was seeing Chloe at the Kent house the first she saw her after she left hospital? If so, why no hug or better reaction? I'm guessing a lot more happened in between but they didn't tell us. Meh.
- Lex's religious experience and change of heart. Please don't make that last. I want the evil badass.
- Chloe waking up in a morgue. EEK!! I'm claustrophobic, that was creepy!
- That Lex/Lana tape where he slaps her - it wouldn't be an evidence. The court would not allow it.
- Chloe not wanting to talk to Clark about what happened to her.
- Fake Lexana picture. Couldn't they use a screen cap or something that didn't look Photoshopped?
- Very fake looking Shanghai. And Lana strolling in a very bad wig. OK seriously, what? I know the effects must have cost a lot, but they could have at least tried to make it look convincing.
The Ugly:
- All those bodies floating in the water filled secret lab.
- Stop moping Clark. You're nothing like Bizarro. Just get your anger under control and stop bullying people when you're pissed.
The What the Huh?:
- Who saved Lionel?
- Clark showing almost no emotion over Lana being dead, when he reacted to everything else. WTH?
Extra Points:
- Two hilarious LOL moments:
1) Chloe wakes up in the morgue and wants to know why is she there, but Clark is just happy that she's alive. Chloe looks confused and panicked, notices the tag on her toe. WTF look. Priceless!!
2) Lois telling Clark that he's dead if he ever grabs her ass again. lol
It was mostly serious episode, humour was welcomed.
- Bizarro The Badass doing a little hand wave before the last fight as in saying "Bring It Bitch!" to Clark. I giggled.
