Smallville - Kinetic - 02/26/02
Still playing catch-up with the reviews.
Whitney hits bottom, and finds there's an easy way out. Sorta. (See, I can do a summary!) And Chloe gets hurt in Lex's mansion, and Clark starts blaming himself for not being able to save her.
This was a decent episode. I have to admit, Whitney (Mr. I Am The Reason Young White Male Car Insurance Premiums Are So High) has never been one of my favorite characters. So an episode focusing on him won't be a favorite of mine.
In fact, I preferred the B-plot on this one, the one where Clark realized he can't be everywhere and can't save everyone. He'll have to make those choices, and learn to live with the consequences.
I did like the tattoo Kryptonite (oops, meteorite) ink giving the "bad guys" powers. Lex was underplayed in this ep...he has been better in other eps, whoever wrote this didn't seem to have a good handle on what Lex would or wouldn't do.
Rating: 6/10.
