So I have never done a review before. This episode seemed like a good place to start, so without further adieu let's begin.

First we start with Lois in Egypt for the Daily Planet. She runs into Carter Hall and they talk about love and destiny. Lois doesn't believe that she is important to Clark's destiny, but Carter says other wise. Pretty good scene between the two especially the part about Nietche's Ubermensch aka a Super Man.

Cat's anti-hero stance is a fairly new take in the Smallville universe. It's fueled by a radio host named Godfrey. Given this season's Big Bad is Darkseid. It's a given that this is Great Godfrey, Darkseid's propaganda minister. It is in Darkseid's interest to put the emerging heroes back in the shadows, thus Godfrey is part of that plan.

The (re)introduction of Cat Grant on the show as an anti-vigilante activist is an amusing development. In the comics, she's become a thorn in Supergirl's side. With the return of Kara next week, I wonder if Cat and Kara will throw down on Smallville?

The portrayal of Deadshot as a cowboy type was interesting. I don't know if I like it that much. We'll see him again, and he may grow on me.

Finally, at the end of the episode, we see the end to the Batman-esque Superman. We see Clark rocking a red leather jacket with the S shield embossed on it and a blue undershirt with a Superman hair style.

All in all a solid episode. It did have its fault. Hey it's Smallville, so comment below and please no negative comments just what you thought of the episode. Please no Smallville sucks comments.

the ending was so [frick]ing awesome. When Clark finally came out and revealed himself as the nearly Superman he supposed to be destined to become, I chocked on my [frick]ing candy corn. Im still surprised and I can still feel the sweetness from the candy logged in my throat. Geeked out!!! For real!!! Epic shit

I prefer this over the black outfit. Was getting tired of seeing it.

Obviously it's temporary. It speaks more about Clark stepping out of the shadows and more into the public eye. Putting color and appeal to being a hero.

People griped about the black suit, they'll complain about this one and I'm sure they'll whine when he dons then cape.

For me, I'm glad with the change.

As for Deadshot . . . I was satisfied. Thought he came across well. Look forward to seeing more of him and the Suicide Squad.

So something ive never really understood is,is Lex actually dead? Or is he just hiding? Is a clone going to take over as him in the show later in the season?

@ Anil Wait I'm confused,so there pulling a Jimmy Olsen on us? The Lex that's been on the show isn't gonna be the one from the comics? The new clone will be?

He should have gone to this as the Red-Blue Blur, not to the Matrix look.

I just hope they will put Deadshot in his suit later on in the season. Smallville CANNOT go cheap on Deadshot's iconic look.

Or, and this is much more likely, the Lex that Green Arrow blew up will be revealed to be a clone sent by the original Lex.

@ Pauul See that sounds soooooo much better but I don't think thats true because the clones were meant to heal the real Lex and then he got blown up

He was healing from the collapse of the fortress, he could easily have sent another clone to hunt down Clark and his friends.

Plus the clone in the tube reminded me a lot of the Lex that got blown up.

And last season we had a flashforward which showed Lois working at the Daily Planet looking no older than she does now, reading how Lex is running for President. No way the kid Tess has taken in could grow up that fast.

I didn't like how they protrayed Deadshot. I did like the scene with the Sucide Squad. And I'm also loving the ending but after looking at the fan pic's by these cats in the other article, I would have preferred the jacket with the following.
