Top review. Terrible episode. I had intended to give a long lengthy breakdown of how awful this episode was but length constraints from the site prohibit me from getting into it in depth.

This episode of so full of plot holes, superman mythology errors, and in the end Clark ends up looking like a moral degenerate murderer. Just leave her out of the series if you were going to do that. Gotta love Clark's selfish and cognizant choice to end the life of someone else so he can save Lana.
