Just Kiss Me

This was a very good episode. It was one of the funniest of this season and there were scenes that were just laugh out loud funny. The scene with Clark and Alicia in his room was very funny, hence my title. The whole episode went smoothly without unnecessary additions and stupid scenarios, which we've been getting a lot of this season. Two annoying things though, about this episode and a lot of the previous ones. One is that whenever anyone needs help the first person they run to is Lex to use his connections, money, etc to help them out. Yet whenever he uses these, they hold it against him and that's just so annoying. And the fact that he keeps helping is, I think, silly and a bit unrealistic (though he did refuse to help Clark/Pete in the previous episode). Secondly most of the krypton-infected people turn out to be psychos with just 1 or 2 exceptions. Overall however, very good, well-written and funny episode.
