First time I ever did this with the sound turned off on my computer. It made the episode marginally better.
Running Time: 41m, 40s
"Previously On": 1m, 4s
Clark: 15m, 2s (his season low so far)
Chloe: 8m, 17s
Tess: 12m, 8s
Lana the Holy: 20m, 15s
Season To Date: (# of eps)
Clark: 264m, 25s (13)
Chloe: 162m, 46s (13)
Lois: 104m, 46s (8)
Jimmy: 67m, 29s (7)
Tess: 74m, 29s (9)
Davis: 52m, 45s (7)
Oliver: 71m, 8s (7)
Lana the All-Knowing: 48m, 53s (4)
Now, I need to go delete this from my hard drive, and run a Virus Scan to make sure it didn't leave behind any icky residue.
I love that last line, and the "Lana, The Holy" reference!
Thanks for doing this, Badtoad! Along with Cedric's review this is what I look forward to seeing after every episode!

Thanks Kalista, that's a great point.
The reason they won't shoot anything in Star City is because it means at least one new set, which is more money, for a character that they obviously don't care that much for.
To all those who wished Lois was there instead of Chloe, I imagine the story would go something like Clark pining, still in love with Lana and Lois being ignored. As a Lois fan I'm glad she's not in these eps- besides she's been mentioned about as much as Jimmy, so it's obvious how much they care for her character.Comment

Chloe's not in Star City cos apparently the showrunners don't give a flying flip about Chloe and Jimmy's relationship. Can't say I blame them.Comment

That is why I didn't vote for him FOR THE FIRST TIME at the favorite character of an epi. I consider he was not in "power", not where he is supposed to be, so no vote for Clark because no Clark

Clark was almost not in the episode at all. And when he was there it was to be the Lana's stooge

I totally agree, Karine! I certainly hope that we see a turnaround this week. It's been so disappointing to watch Clark's character dress like a 15 year old and act like one.Comment

Her character isn't being sacrificed. In Legion, she baked cookies and went to see Jimmy. In Bulletproof, Clark said he was glad to catch her before she left (for Star City) as she was packing a bag. Chloe told Clark she wanted to get back before Jimmy wakes up.
So, she's obviously traveling back and forth between Star City and SV probably to pick up things she needs while away. Stopping by to briefly see Clark during one of her return trips to SV does not make her a neglectful wife. The writers have given plenty of hints that she is with Jimmy on a routine basis.
Thanks for the screentime minutes.
Thanks for the times.Comment

Agreed Dustmite. There is no need for Lois to take care of Jimmy. We've seen in the last two episodes, minus this one, that Chloe has been going back and forth busting her ass to see Jimmy. Lois isn't around because Lana is around. And if they were both around Clark would choose Lana over Lois likes he's done with everyone else on this show.Comment

Personally I would have liked a mention of Jimmy simply because it makes sense but I wonder if people would have the same problem and to such a degree with Chloe not being with her husband if Lois wasn't in Star City. At this point I refuse to believe that Lois is nursing Jimmy or any such thing. She's keeping away from home because of Lana and Clana.
Thanks for the times.
Now in fairness maybe between the cookies and the scene in Isis in Bulletproof where Clark was glad to have caught her, is in a matter of a few hours. Is she wearing the same clothes? Little odds, but that's one scenario. And there's no time frame given from Bulletproof to Power so to suddenly have her back in Metropolis with no mention of Jimmy is again bad writing. One line. One little mention or explanation and it would have looked better IMO - even without mentioning Lois.Comment

Badtoad, I admire your brave effort. In the days of yore you'd be given two Log Boats, Yak's fur, and a Goat's sacrifice amid the town's people for able to withstand such garbage as this episode. But in 2009, we're a civilized people. So thanks for all of this.

We are all assuming Lois is there with Jimmy but the truth is we don't know where she is. For all we know she can be out on an assigment in the Niagara falls investigating fraud on newlyweds or following a lead in Star City. Personally, I'm glad she's not around during the Lana arc, that would have messed with Lois' character.Comment

BadToad, are we going to get the screentime minutes for Lex this week? Alright, you have permission to slap me now.Comment
