Rapid Reviews - Wednesday Night TV

Smallville [3-21]: Forsaken: Ah, the return of Emily. We knew she'd come back some day, didn't we? We just weren't sure when or how. (spoilers)I still think, that despite Pete's comments in the heat of the moment, Clark should have told Lana the truth. However, telling her to try to keep her in Smallville was the wrong reason, so I guess it came out for the best.(end spoilers) I've tried, desperately, to avoid information about next week's episode. Unfortunately, I've stumbled across a few tidbits. Still, I'm eager to see what happens. At the moment, the show's cast seems to be shrinking, so it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out in the season finale.

Angel [5-21]: Power Play: So it all comes to a head... more or less. Angel has decided how he's going to finish playing the game, and now he's acting on it. There was a nice bit of misdirection at the start of the episode, and the villains of the piece came across as appropriately frightening. I just wonder how it's all going to wrap up.

Comics to review this week: Thieves & Kings, Aquaman, El Cazador, Smallville, Fallen Angel, H-E-R-O, JLA, JSA, Green Arrow, and Neo Dawn.
