There was nothing very special about this one either. It was just the regular Dickens tale adaptation, you saw on every WB series. And those old seasons bits, only reminded me how larger than life the show used to be. Now it's just so bland, with characters you barely care about. And got sillier than those early seasons overtly targeted to teenagers. The Lois and Clark romance is forced fed on us, when it should've had a true buildup for it to give justice to the eponymous 90s series TV couple. On Smallville, it just felt like writers remembered they were endgame, and recycled plots written for Clark and Lana in mind, before Kristin Kreuk decided to leave the show. And adapted the script a little, so it would fit the Clark and Lois dynamic more. And why bring back Brainiac? Was James Marsters the only one who agreed to come back for this very dull reunion? Not even the bug guy's return left a mark, and reminded me too much of Jonathan's BTVS prom speech. And the Clark/Chloe wannabes, what was that about? To me it is the worst season 10 episode so far. Even worse than the one with « kitty Cat ». The rest was good, better than most of season 9 even. But Clark really is a moron, and I tend to agree with Jor-El and Kara that his martyr complex, is a big risk with this year's big vilain. Oliver came out as Green Arrow and Chloe disappeared, which are two things that make me enjoy season 10 more as well.
