Next episode will be March 16th!

I really like this episode (aside from the ending....)

I feel like the whole "abduction" could have been scarier though. It was pretty creepy at the time...but I remember when Scully got abducted on The X Files and that terrified me.

Favourite scene:
Lois meeting Starr. Actually, all scenes with Starr, she stole all the scenes. I really liked her.

Favourite quote:

Jonathon: I hate alarm clocks.
Martha: It's the phone, Jonathan.

Clark: That's what makes it so difficult. When I'm catching some bad guy, I'm thinking, is Lois okay? Or is somebody slowly boiling her in oil?

Plot Bunnies:
Clark pondering why he is so darn attracted to Bob Fences secretary.

Lois giving Clark a piece of her mind for breaking up with her (I'm sure this has been done?).

Starr using her abilities to figure out CK=S

A prequel...what was the whole airport luggage theft thing about? Did they say?
