Another episode, another Lana stalker. Just finished watching season 1 episode 4 X-Ray the first in a series of power discovery episodes of the series.
The Good: Pretty good episode with some interesting developments. I love when Smallville would do a power discovery episode and this was one of the coolest. Clark's struggle to control this power is hilarious and Martha's suggestion that he focus like a telescope was smart. Tina Greer had an interesting story and cool powers but everything good about her ends there. Overall the best thing about this episode was Clark figuring out how to use his x-ray vision. There is also an interesting Lex subplot that hints at his troubled past and reveals his curiosity over his survival of the car wreck from the Pilot.
The Bad: Tina Greer is one of Smallville's creepiest villains. Do not like her at all. I get really annoyed at scenes like the one where Tina transforms in the middle of the school hallway after getting Whitney's jacket. Anyone could have seen her! Also the stupid way she killed her mom. Oh it was an accident! She didn't mean to kill her! I hate that type of thing.
Fond Memories: I always look back at this episode as the crazy lesbian Lana stalker episode instead of the X-Ray vision episode, which is a bad thing.
Final Random Thoughts: An okay episode with a few highlights mostly involving Clark's power discovery. Interesting to note: The beginning of the Lana/Chloe friendship and the beginning of Lex's obsession with his accident.
