S5 Ep 11 - Lockdown

[Cyrus]

Was going through my Smallville video files looking for names, and realized there was no thread for this one:

from thewb.com
Lockdown

The two police officers who witnessed the spaceship land in the meteor shower take Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) hostage and threaten to kill them unless Lex reveals where he hid the spaceship. While escaping to the panic room in the mansion, Lex takes a bullet meant for Lana. Fearing Lex may bleed to death, Lana asks him to tell the officers the secret location, but he confesses the ship has been missing for weeks. Meanwhile, Clark (Tom Welling) discovers Lana has been researching the spaceship with Lex and fears she is close to discovering his secret. Allison Mack, John Glover, Annette O'Toole and John Schneider also star.

Steven S. DeKnight wrote the episode directed by Peter Ellis.

Thanks Cy

Oh Stevie boy wrote this one, did he? He can be a bit hit and miss; this one looked like a real hit. I missed the first half, so I'll need to catch one of the repeats, but what I saw was exciting. And it's always good to have reminders of Brainiac, in his absence. ;D

Lots of Lex/Lana, and damn, but it works! Better than Clana ever did, IMO ;D I still don't rate the actress, which colours my opinion of her character, but Michael makes her up her game, I reckon

Bye Bye Sheriff

Just seen the whole episode. It was cool, very cool. One of my faves so far, I reckon. I find myself hoping more and more that Lex and Lana can make something work between them, even though I am not a shipper by nature.

I always like the show's nods ot the future, and Clark saying he couldn't imagine ever loving anyone else (than Lana) in such heartfelt fashion right as Lois pulled up in her car was delightful.

I did think Lex could have furnished his panic room a little more comfortably

I was very sad about the sheriff - we didn't get to see her all that much but I always liked her pithy delivery and down-to-earthness.

And Brainiac and his ship have wreaked some havoc in the brief time they have been around - and absent, for that matter ;D Won't be too long before even us Brits have him back (we're catching up)
