Red Kryptonite - What fun!!, November 17, 2010
This review is from: Smallville: The Complete Second Season (Amazon Instant Video)
I have to admit I enjoy seeing Clark lose it when he is exposed to red kryptonite. He's just simply fun to watch even though he gets into situations that are sometimes heart wrenching. You,of course, want him to always go back to the "normal" Clark...but the red krypto Clark is fun...and yes...mean...full of darkness that you don't normally see.
I think this is epi where I really begin to dislike Lana Lang. What? A person actually dislikes Lana Lang...when she's so central to Clark's life? Yes...in that she's all black and white with no gray in between. How many teenagers do you know that are quite as judgemental as she is when it comes to a guy like Clark? All evidence points to a good guy Clark...a Clark that is always helping people and yet she can't abide the fact that he keeps certain things to himself...that he is private about his life. It's all or nothing with her...you tell me who you really are or else you get nothing is her motto. Which I quite disliked. Dont' get me wrong...their romance on this series was quite something to watch...but only after all the years of her not trusting and believing in good guy Clark....a real romance was only possible after she "learned" his secret. If she had been supportive of him from the beginning...maybe he would have learned to trust her eventually. Nonetheless...I watch in spite of the angst...because I enjoy seeing Clark mature. These high school years in this series are to set us up to learn 1) what his abilities are 2) what kind of values he has 3) how truly sensitive he is to his family 4) how life for Clark Kent may just end up being a lonely life. The first half of this series really, really does show a lonely Clark...and that's what makes these seasons important because they contrast to what we'll see at the end of the series with Lois Lane.
