Alicia Lets Chloe In On A Little Secret - 
by J-Unit
So it looks like the writers of Smallville have decided to take us on a little bit of a Superman hiatus. Early on in the season, it looked as if we were doing to be deep into Krypton mythology for a long time to come. We had ancient stones, ancient maps, ancient 17th century relatives who were reincarnated, and even an ancient actress trying to make a little bit of a comeback (hello Margot Kidder). All of that has been put off a little bit and we have been recently focusing more on the lives of our Smallville characters outside of their involvement in ancient prophecies. It might not be the direction the comic book folks would have like the show to turn, but if you like your high school melodrama, you are in luck.
Clark is a pretty forgiving guy, but you would think there would be some limits to how forgiving somebody would be. For instance, if you were drugged and taken to Vegas to get married, you would think you would be a little apprehensive about starting a relationship with that person. Maybe the sight of Alicia in her wedding night lingerie told Clark he should try and stick around a little longer, because there was nobody who thought that Clark should be with Alicia, except perhaps Clark and Alicia. And really, aren't they the only one who matter?
Yes and no. It is perfectly fine for Clark to believe that Alicia is changed, but you know that it is going to take a little getting used to for some others in Smallville. You could argue that Lana might have trouble coming to terms with the idea that the guy she thought she loved had no problems going out with an attempted murderer. Especially when you consider that the attempted murderer had tried to kill Lana. Oblivious to the notion this might cause problem, Clark waltzed into karaoke night at the Talon with Alicia in tow. There was that awful silence, broken only by a wisecrack from Lois (who had been singing "I Love Rock and Roll" with Chloe). Jason's not happy, Lana is *really* not happy, and even though Alicia attempts to apologize, I think the possibility of double dates in the near future are remote.
If you are sick of me talking about how hot Kristin Kreuk is, you are not going to be happy with this week's show. Jason and Lana are back on speaking terms and they return to her apartment after the run-in with Alicia. Lana is taking a shower (and we get two very nice views of her through the shower curtain), when somebody comes in and tries to suffocate her using her shower curtain. Jason breaks down the door just in time to save her from death.
Now I am not sure who wrote this episode, but this scene has to be better planned. Lana and Jason don't sleep together, but they've seen each other naked. I have a hard time thinking Lana would lock the door when she is taking a shower. The only reason why Lana locks the door is so that somebody has to sneak inside the bathroom while the door is locked. Perhaps somebody who can teleport! Instantly we think of Alicia. And I know Lana has all of those tea lights left over from when she was trying to get Jason in the sack, but do you think she really lights twenty candles before she takes every shower. Is this a normal thing?
