Well, well, Tom Welling….

He done good last night, no? How does one go about directing himself? I’m no Steven Spielberg, but as far as I could tell, Tom did a darn good job of doing exactly that in last night’s episode, especially since he was in so many of the scenes. Perhaps we have another Ron Howard on our hands: from Opie Cunningham (as Eddie Murphy called him on “SNL”) to a big-time director?
The romantic tension between Clark and Lois was so strong during the part of last night’s show when Jor-El had sent him to Earth during a time when he had never been born. OK, so maybe Clark wasn’t all that taken with Lois, but she sure was a smitten kitten. She obviously dug having him literally sweep her off her feet. As the Superman mythology goes, they will end up together anyway. Right now, as adversarial friends, they’re just going through a long—really long—courting ritual. But as they say, the best romances are friendships that caught fire.
Can’t tell you how bummed I was last night when Jonathan and Martha were on a cruise! How convenient! Acatually an in-the-know source told me that Annette O’Toole left the show on lukewarm terms, and John Schneider has obviously moved on to other projects, such as the porn guy on “Nip/Tuck.”
Is Brainiac REALLY dead? We didn’t see Kara kill him—such as smush him to pieces with that big rock or chop his head off and have it role down a gulley. I betcha a cuppa joe at The Talon that he’ll be back some day. As on daytime soap operas (witness the recent resurrection of Jesse on “All My Children”), he could very well return from the dead (even if he truly was killed by Kara).
Why was Lex wearing that silly all-white outfit as president of the United States? Was he trying to stand out from the previous presidents? His chrome dome would have been enough for that! And I think he would have been the youngest person ever elected U.S. president. I believe that the current record is 42. Lex is in his early 30s, tops.
The show ended up so much like “It’s a Wonderful Life”—”No, Clark, the world would NOT have been better off without you”—that I expected to hear a Christmas ornament bell ring and a little girl announcing, “Teacher says that every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.”
Next week, on “Quest,” Lex is attacked by a cloaked stranger who carves Kryptonian symbols into his chest that are messages for Clark. (Yowsa, that will hurt!) Also, Chloe and Clark find out that a member of Veritas is still alive and hiding out. That sets off a race between Clark and Lex to be the first to find the mysterious member, who holds the key to young Mr. Kent’s future.
There are only a few more episodes before Miles Millar and Al Gough are no longer helming the show. Things in Smallville should be interesting come the fall.
