wasn't kidding when I said I'm not sure how I feel about this episode. I felt like there were scenes missing. Maybe the way it was edited. There was a lot going on and while I appreciate the moving up of the plot (finally). I don't think they were all the successful. It wasn't a bad episode but it didn't gel.
A couple weeks ago I inadvertently came across the spoiler that Tess is a Luthor.
I didn't come across that spoiler but i heard we were going to find out Tess is a _ and I was like Luthor duh. And I figured Pamela was going to be her mom. I don't think in any way diminish her character. It does however make me wonder if Lex knew.
I also wasn't entirely comfortable with Lois taking it upon herself to find the key and go to the FOS. I love how close her and Clark are and that Clark has chosen to share his heritage and roots with her completely, but it still felt intrusive to me. But maybe that's just me and my weird privacy issues, and I've shared a home with someone now for years and years, heh.I personally didn't like

I know I'm in the minority in regards to this but I'm really starting to resent Rosenbaum not wanting to come back. Like you get Teri Hatcher to make a cameo and you can't show up. I'm like what are you so busy doing. Then all the Rosenbaum fangirls are like they must have treated him soooooooo bad. And I'm like seriously. I don't know at this point if they recast him it wouldn't bother me at all.
I don't know if I resent him, personally, but I don't seem to understand why exactly he can't reprise the role. Unless of course, he had an absolutely terrible experience with TPTB to the extent that he just wants to stay away from them now as far as possible. In which case, it's his choice, his preference, I can understand. But I do wonder, like yourself, about the schedule thing.
Having said that, I'd hate a recast. My sincerest hope is that MR does agree to return.
A couple weeks ago I inadvertently came across the spoiler that Tess is a Luthor. Heh, me too. Got to be careful out there on the internets! We're very much in agreement on this development. Not only does it add to her back story it helps her introduction make more sense.
There were certain elements I found were off, such as just not feeling as if there was enough Clark in the picture. There were several scenes where the conversations were one sided (and long running) I felt. The tape of Lois' mom, Lois talking to Jor-El, and then the (tape?) of Clark's parents. Granny seemed to talk a lot to Tess too, filling in the back story. I think it knocked off the pacing.
Quite honestly, that entire part of the ep did very little for me, and in parts, annoyed me.Lois butting into matters that are none of her business is very much in character but I can't believe they're trying to smooth over all the crap the AI put Clark through all these years. Jor-El claimed he was going to send all his knowledge with Clark without his ego. Heh, seems to

//Lois butting into matters that are none of her business is very much in character but I can't believe they're trying to smooth over all the crap the AI put Clark through all these years. Jor-El claimed he was going to send all his knowledge with Clark without his ego. Heh, seems to me the AI's ego is about ten times bigger than flesh and blood Jor-El's was.//
Smoothing over the AI' crap is exactly what it felt like to me too. And y'know what, maybe I'd have been OK with it at some point - redeeming him. Perhaps even up till S6, I might've desired that. But now? No way. I don't want him redeemed, understood, or anything. I just want him/it off my screen.
Like I was saying to jwm, maybe even as late as S6 I might've been OK with some sort of redemption, but that desire has since long passed. I just want him/it off my screen now.
GG was so perfectly cast. Finally this storyline picks up!
//Lois has always respected Clark's need for space and it seemed like she completely disregarded that in her quest to 'fix' his relationship with Jor-El. I'm glad that Clark has been willing to share everything with her but I think in this episode Lois overstepped her bounds even though her intentions were good.//

It really didn't, did it? The pacing was all off.

Oh, I think he totally knew. Really, MR not returning feels even worse now - how I'd love a scene between him and CF.
And yes, I agree, Clark is the best bf - certainly the most understanding.
