What I'm Watching: Smallville

Smallville: Season 7, Episode 7 "Identity" (B)

I'm very pleased with the Superman-style direction this show is taking. Positioning Oliver as the fake Superman works quite well, and while I thought Clark was about to mess up his plan by having to go save Lois, it turned out perfectly in the end. I wonder how this show will cope with masking Clark's face, since it seems unlikely that they would have him running around as he is during his presumably upcoming transformation into the Superman character we know and love. I can forgive the slight plot defects - Lois calls Clark out of all people to help her, Chloe is planning to hit Jimmy with her car when he could very easily recognize her and presumably her car - in favor of a positive direction this show seems to finally be taking.
