Hoaxed
It turns out that the uranium smuggling was a hoax. I feel better, generally, but disturbed at having been taken in.
So, Smallville. Gayer than a busload of Cher impersonators holding posies of lavender flowers. Clark isn't affected by "some" human female pheromones? I haven't seen such a lame papering over of homosexual subtext since the shock of killing his captain (and his friend) snapped Spock out of ponn far. There were some genuinely heterosexual moments where Clark seemed to desire Lana, but overall I'd say it was a victory for the Incredibly True Adventures of Two Boys in Love reading.
In other news, I actually liked Spike's Justin Timberlake hair better than this week's 'do. I was impressed by the royal blue spandex shirt, and yet glad it turned out to be a costume. But the clear winner (and justification enough for the entire episode) is the Spike/Xander glance of repressed lust when Endangered Girl asked whether there was any pairing among them that hadn't occurred.
