Clark: Dad, something else happened to me this morning. When I woke up, I was kind of floating.
Jonathan: Floating.
Clark: As soon as I woke up, I crashed. I mean, Dad, what's happening to me?
Jonathan: I honestly don't know. As soon as you start breaking the law of gravity, we're definitely in uncharted territory.
Just finished Metamorphosis the second episode of Smallville's first season. Overall I enjoyed it and it reminded me of the good old days.
The Good: Ok so this was a pretty enjoyable episode with a B plot. Greg Arkin was a better villain than Jeremy, I felt like I actually understood his reasoning as insane as it was. The fight between him and Clark was pretty good. I loved the the Clark/Chloe investigation in this episode it really was a great part of the series for so long. Clark's flight was awesome to see this early, especially considering he hasn't mastered it yet as of season 10 episode 16. I like how they hinted that Clark's fear of heights might be responsible for his inability to master flight.
The Bad: Whitney again and Lana for forgiving him for being such an immature idiot. The lack of Lex was disturbing as well ;) Sorry but the weird purple stuff that came out of Greg's mouth had to be the worst effect the series has ever done. Not because it's badly done (it is) but I think if they would have had him do something more like what Anna in V does with her mouth it would have been scarier.
Fond Memories: I recall watching this episode with my older sister and thinking I should get bitten by a bunch of bugs so that my acne would go away :D
Final Random Thoughts: It was nice to refresh my memory on the character of Greg Arkin considering he showed up in season 10's Homecoming saying Clark helped him by stopping him. I was a little fuzzy on the details when I watched that. Interesting how little Lex appeared in these first two episodes considering his role. Way to much Whitney and not enough Lex!
