Wonder Twin Powers, Activate!

This week on Smallville two new characters were introduced, Zan and Janya. They both had super powers that allowed them to change shape into anything else. The two characters were based on the wonder twins from the cartoon series, the Superfriends. The two characters are supposed to be aliens who came to Earth without their parents, much like Clark. Their story is that they are originally from Sweden and that is why they have strange sounding names. The two twins have the ability to change into anything they can think of individually and they can change into much bigger and stronger things when they combine their pow errs together. The Wonder Twins were a good addition to the other heroes who have been on Smallville such as the Green Arrow, Cyborg, Aquaman, the Black Canary, The Angel of Vengeance, the Flash, Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, Zatanna and and Supergirl. I thought that this episode was good because it got away from the story with Tess and Zod and was more focused on Clark and Lois.

The Wonder Twins, Zan and Janya, decided that they were going to use their powers to help their idol, the Red-Blue Blur. At the beginning of the episode a crate with 5 undercover police and bags of drugs is delivered to the Daily Planet with the symbol of the Blur on top. After that there starts to be a series of accidents around Metropolis that are all credited to the Blur, but the one making the mistakes are Zan and Janya. At one of their saves Janya dropped her cell phone and when Clark found it he called her house and used his super hearing to listen for the ringing once he heard it he superspeeded to their house and brought them back to watch tower to talk to Chloe about being a superhero. After Clark decided that he should call Lois, as the Blur, and tell her that he was not responsible for the mistakes that his fans made. When Clark calls Lois as the Blur he uses a voice changer so that she does not realize that it is Clark that she is talking to. When he calls her this time is voice changer stops working and she recognizes his voice and she starts to think that Clark is the Blur. When she confronts him about it he denies that he is the Blur. A leader of the city decided that Lois is too much into his business to have her around and he decides to kill her by throwing her off of the roof of the Daily Planet and when he does Clark tries to save her without using his powers to show her that he is not the Blur. He can not save her the normal way and she fell and the Wonder Twins came to save her. After she was saved she got a phone call from the Blur while Clark was standing in front of her and Clark later found out that it was Chloe who called Lois.

I thought that this episode was good because it introduced two new heroes for Metropolis. The two new heroes had to learn that they had to find their own way of doing things instead of following others. When Chloe called Lois, Chloe was listening to all of the cell phone calls in Metropolis and watching all of the security cameras, this is the wrong thing to do because it is a total invasion of people privacy and Chloe was overstepping her place. I think that it is ridiculous that Lois Lane has been in the show for almost six years and she has not yet realized that Clark has all of these superpowers, they lived together for two years and she still doesn't know. The ending of this episode was not very good because it ended with Lois having memories from the three weeks that she was in the future and than she started shaking and she passed out and it was over as soon as she fell. I think that this episode was very good because of the lesson that the twins had to learn. I would give this episode of Smallville a 4 out of 5.
