Discussion of 5.07 "Splinter" - Airing 11/10/05 (WB-US)

[Vilandra]

Clark (Tom Welling) is exposed to silver kryptonite, causing him to have paranoid delusions. The silver kryptonite makes him believe that Chloe (Allison Mack) is going to reveal his secret, Jonathan (John Schneider) is scheming against him with Lionel (John Glover) and Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) are having a secret relationship. Chloe and the Kents frantically search for a cure, but it is Professor Fine (guest star James Marsters) who comes to Clark's rescue - but not without an agenda.

Erica Durance, John Glover and Annette O'Toole also star. Steve DeKnight wrote the episode directed by Greg Beeman.

Pretty good ep - I was glad they didn't do the "I put you in danger so we can't be together Lana" thing. Like the Clark-Lana-Lex going on though :)

It was. It had a darkness that worked and gotta say this season of Smallville is good. Think this is one of my favs so far this season.

But don't like the constant lies that the Clana brings with it. However the love triangle does seem like a promising way to play it.

Didn't really like the Superman song (the stereophnocs version) in the beginning cause somehow that ....well you can't have a song with Superman and Lois Lane in it when you're having them in a show, it somehow felt wrong.
