holy..... holy shit.

tonight's episode has completely floored me. i think i'm still in shock over Pa Kent's death. (i sincerely hope the writers don't undermine this episode by bringing him back somehow).

but... wow. Clark dealt with a life's worth of tragedy in this episode, it's gut-wrenching. After finally building up the courage to tell Lana the truth, his worst fears are solidified, and he learns he can never open up to her, nor be with her. His father dies in his arms. On top of that, it doesn't look like Lionel will be wasting any time to move in on Martha.

I really appreciated Clark's reaction to Lana's death as a perfect counterpart to Lex's reaction in the Lexmas episode. Lex instantly focused on how Lana's death was a personal tragedy to himself and how much grief it caused him. Clark, on the other hand, focused on how her death was an injustice to Lana herself and offered to sacrifice anything to bring her back.

Absolutely one of the best episodes of the series.
