A great epi but hard to watch...
I really enjoyed this episode but it is hard to watch at times. I usually don't get squeamish with epis that show violence or a lot of blood but this one got to me. Metallo's new heart is so graphic looking...it's actually painful for me to look at it. I watch Bones series all the time which have much more graphic scenes but this one just blew me away. Maybe cuz he's alive with the contraption replacing his heart. I somehow feel his pain....Anyway...a great epi but painful. I also loved Clark's growing awareness of his feelings for Lois. They way he stands in the shadows as the Blur wanting to reveal his secret to her but holding back is painfully wonderful to watch. This epi actually breaks my heart a little bit because of Clark's loneliness...but it also makes me smile because of the final scene between Clark and Lois. When she runs into his arms and hugs him...yup....made me smile....a lot. A great epi...you gotta see it. There is magic in the storytelling...but the real magic is between Lois and Clark. It's electric watching them sometimes. A great pairing of actors in Tom Welling and Erica Durance.
