I really enjoy their new approach. Even though a lot of this is filler, it's still all connected to the Kryptonian army. I think Clark should fight one or two of them an episode though from now on.
Who directed this episode!? The Directing was freaking amazing!!!! The angles, the cuts, the music, the imagery...my God it was beautiful (especially Clark and Lois hugging as everyone walks around them).
Based on music, again very well done. Nice to see the Lois and Clark theme re-occuring in a new way.
Continuity wise they made a mistake with the Katana. The Katana that's in the mansion is supposed to be a prop sword from a Japanese movie Lex really liked. He told Clark it was really blunt.
Other than that, I liked it. And might I suggest that maybe the Kryptonians get their power by killing people? The more they kill, the stronger they become? Kind of like Mr. Hyde.
