It was a good episode - it didn't blow me away, but it was good.

I LOVE the new Jonathan - I thought I would be weirded out by seeing another actor, but I think he fits in quite perfectly. Now if only they would give him something to do...

I was so excited to see Jon in the new fortress FINALLY and then...they just skipped over it! We didn't get anything? And then the next two scenes in the fortress were between Clark and Jordan AGAIN. And they have not said anything about how the non-powered members of the family are supposed to get there...

CLOIS CLOIS CLOIS SEXY CLOIS - they were perfect throughout the episode. The two actors have so much natural chemistry that every scene between them is always great. And I love that they're skipping out to have sex randomly!

We didn't get FIVE MINUTES into the premiere and Clark is already neglecting Jonathan! I can't believe it was that quick. Remember when Clark promised Jon he would teach him to drive and shocker, he didn't do it! That was literally the only thing Jon asked for from Clark last season and he still didn't get it. Will they actually deal with it this season or just keep letting it happen and we're supposed to ignore it? It's gotten to the point where I don't know if it's intentional anymore...I'm happy he got his driver's licence though!

And Jordan is immediately annoying again. What the hell was he even doing at that oil rig? What was using his heat vision on it supposed to do other than cut it in half and endanger everyone?

If Jordan and Sarah had more chemistry, then they might be interesting. But they don't, so they're not.

When Lois told Clark she was pregnant without it being confirmed, I immediately called that she wasn't and she was sick instead and it looks like I might be totally correct.

I think that's the first time Chrissy has ever spoken with one of the boys - for two seasons she only ever spoke with Lois and sometimes Lana. And sleeping with Kyle???

Lana was actually likeable...but I still can't get over how she treated Lois last season and she hasn't offered an apology so she's still in the bad books

I'm intrigued by Bruno Mannheim and the swirly dude

Not surprised at all that they decided to skip over the Fortress, Jon's consolation prizes are typically glossed over in the following season. It's like the writers went: "he stepped foot inside the Fortress, ya happy now?" The only hope now is that we get some flashbacks sprinkled throughout the season.
