What I'm Watching: Smallville

Smallville: Season 8, Episode 5 "Committed" (C-)

I don't really see the need to have these kinds of episodes, especially since this show already did a similar thing like this with the Lionel-"Saw" episode from a few years back. I like the fact that it's not really clear whether Lois was actually still under lie-detector supervision when she said she loved Clark, or not. I'm eager for them to get on with their romance, since it's been a long time coming and now it actually seems to make sense. I like seeing Oliver and Tess try their relationship again, but I'd like to see more of their history and what really went wrong. Next week, it looks like the recently-absent Davis will be taking center stage again, which is very exciting!
