Feedback folder for The Aftermath of Illusion.

I really hope I'm not alone in having this episode on my 'least favourite' list. It's a measure of how little I like the episode that it just took me three days to come up with a story that ended up at less than 200 words.

As a reward for *finally* writing it, I'm going to go and watch Ides of Metropolis

I agree it was definitely scary for Clark to lose control of his facilities like that. I could understand his guilt at handing back the kid to kidnappers, not to mention almost drowning Lois. Not being a fan of magic myself, I understand Lois's hatred of it.

Good point. It shows Clark that Kryptonians aren't that far removed from humans. I like episodes where Clark learns something new about himself and his limitations.

This episode isn't in my least favorite list, though, it's more in the middle. The least favorite episodes are the ones that don't make me excited when I have to watch them to do research for a story, usually because there's something so heart wrenching in it that it makes my chest hurt (or that there's something so out-of-character, such as freezing Lois for a SECOND time). Or ones, where there's more scenes that I fast-forward past to get to the good L&C scenes. I liked that in IoG the bad "guy" was the magician's assistant, not the magician himself. I know it's almost cliche nowadays, but it was fairly new concept back then. Plus I love Ben Vereen! I could have done without Penn, from Penn & Teller though.

Great job, Feli .

My favorite line:



Wonderful! . As I tend to center pretty much everything about the show on L&C's relationship ( ), this was such a great way to convey Clark's thoughts, and how they so often circle back, relate to Lois. The line seemed very appropiate to end with as Clark relived what he had just dealt with.

IOG isn't one of my absolute least favorite episodes, though it is significantly lower on the list . But, some of that probably has to do with the amazing episodes that precede it--GGGoH, MOSB, PML, HIM, ASU, Witness. These are some of my very favorite episodes of the whole series. They are a hard act to follow .

Looking forward fo more

The best part about that episode is Cat wearing normal clothes! Seriously Tracy Scoggins got a tiny chance to be a comedian and it worked. Everything else - beside Ben Vereen - was pretty ho hum.

Clark had a right to be afraid. This is his 'evil' side coming face to face with him.
