Episode 2.11: Visage

This is a much needed improvement after the last stinker of an episode. Visage sees Lana-obsessed meteor freak Tina Greer return to Smallville posing as Whitney Fordman.

There are many highlights in this episode. The fight between the two Clarks at the end is very entertaining and the reaction by Whitney's mum to her supposed son's attack against a military officer is very well played, making the scene feel quite brutal and very believable. There is a cool moment where Clark's ship comes to his aid, revealing that it's purpose may not be entirely fulfilled just yet.

Lana's emotional outpouring at the end is very touching and I felt sorry for her. Much praise should go to Kristin Kruek for her performance here. The same can be said, as usual, of Alison Mack, who gets the chance to play it slightly creepy, as she goes all lesbian on Lana when Tina takes her form.

My only minor criticism about this episode is that, when Pete takes a pretty serious beating, there is nothing said about it later on. He takes one for the team and apparently no one seems to care. I realise that they only have so much time for each episode to put everything in but just a mention that he was okay would have been nice.

Back on form. 10/10
