A new power for Clark

After alien supervillains and threats to the whole planet, “Smallville” took a breather last night (pun intended) with a bit more light-hearted episode in which Clark gets a new power: super-breath. Interestingly, the recent pilot episode of the animated “Legion of Super Heroes” also found a young Clark discovering that power. Coincidence or synergy? You tell me.

Also on the tube last night: “Grey’s Anatomy” featured a little girl who thought she was a superhero. It turns out she had a condition that made her not feel pain. But the episode gave the character of George a chance to yak about comics a bit. He even knew that Green Lantern’s “civilian” identity is Hal Jordan!
