"Smallville" sizzles

Forget about the plot: another stalker after Lana Lang. The meat of last night’s episode of “Smallville” was in the relationships: Jimmy and Chloe, Clark and Lana, Lex and Lana. Lana has become much less annoying as she has come to realize that Clark still means something to her and isn’t a bad guy — even if he did mess up the party the week before at the Luthor mansion and almost kill Lex.

The last scene, between Clark and Lex, was dead-on as Lex gave Clark an invitation to the Lex-Lana wedding. It would mean a lot to Lana to have you there, Lex told Clark. And it would mean a lot to Lex to have Clark there suffering, seeing what he had missed out on. Great stuff.
