When I saw this thread, I had a momentary attack of "Oh no! Smallville started up again last night and I completely forgot!" And then I read your post and I'm relieved I didn't set my VCR. <g>
I'll be curious to see what the rest of the Smallville fans here think of this one, if you are all in agreement. But while I'm waiting, I won't lament the fact that I missed it! I don't do 'disturbing' as a general rule, whether in fanfic or TV, so this sounds like it was a good one for me to miss.
