Clark and Chloe sure had an amazing interaction and banter, seems like they're really on a good path despite Lana. Seeing them more grown up than in the past seasons is probably the onle good part in this episode.

Well okay, I found it interesting how Clark can be a hero despite his normalness; his whining was a good addition too (lol by the way - super-whining, great Chloe!).

The rest of the episode was boring as it falls back to known territory. Some meteor-mutant or -experiment finds Clark, attacks his friend(s) and family and he has to save them. Sure, there are storylines to follow up in the next couple of episodes like the quarrel with Lex or when James Marsters will be on screen. In the end, this episode showed nothing more than Clark and Lana smooching.
