First of all, can I just say, this ep wins major points with me just by virtue of giving us shirtless Clark again.
That first scene was stunning, and as you say, even better because it was a surprise. We haven't seen Tom show that much skin in a long, long time, but I think it was worth the wait. Somebody's been working out! You know, objectively I can look at Justin and say he has an absolutely perfect body, but one scene like this from Tom makes me forget his countless shirtless scenes in an instant. So sexy!
Is it just me, or did the Wonder Twins not totally suck---?
I thought the Wonder Twins were great fun, although it helped that I was already a big fan of Allison Scagliotti, who played Jayna. I loved the scene between them and Clark. Was that Superman or what?! Tom embodies the hero so well!
I honestly feel the show could benefit from doing these sort of storylines every once in a while.
I would like to see more of Clark fighting the human crime element, especially if it's in conjunction with him and Lois tracking down a story together. I like the idea of Clark cleaning up Metropolis, and it's a nice change of pace from aliens and meteor freaks.
Another thematic undercurrent throughout the ep was the triangle for two. And as much as I am not a fan of it in this incarnation, I did think it was handled rather effectively in this ep. On the whole, in fact, I loved all the Clark/Lois scenes in this one.
I dreaded the Triangle for Two from the start, but the show has really surprised me with how well they've handled it. I liked hearing Lois explore her feelings in therapy, and I liked even more that she so decidedly chose Clark, a decision she sealed with that delightful kiss at the end. Although, as you say, we need the other side of that coin, with an episode that explores Clark's thoughts and feelings with equal thoroughness.
I, too, loved all the scenes between Clark and Lois. They make a great team, whether the tone is funny, serious, emotional, or romantic. Their relationship has really progressed over the last year. I like where they are now, but I also like that they took some time to get there.
Erica Durance did a wonderful job in Idol. She showed a great range of emotions, and was equally good in the funny and dramatic moments. I was truly impressed. And Tom was, as he so consistently has been this season, perfect. Which only makes the fact that we're seeing less of him harder to bear.

I can appreciate JH' body too, but for me, nothing trumps TW'. He's built like a brickhouse and I love that.

She looked familiar. Have I seen her in anything else?
TW and ED were both fantastic, as they have been all season. In fact, I think all the actors are doing a great job this year, even with characters I have problems with, such as Chloe and Oliver.

She plays Claudia on Warehouse 13, which is a new show on Syfy that had a summer run, and she was in one episode of another show I watch called Party Down. I had never seen her before that, but my sister recognized her from Drake & Josh.
She just taped an interview with SHoE podcast. I don't know when it will be posted, but I can't wait to hear it.
