Let's see, a sexy new biology/sex ed teacher,with an evilsecret agenda and overpowering pheremones pheremones....
Why do I have such a strong feeling of deja vu?
Isn't it convenient how everyone turns their head just as Clark is doing something extraordinary? I tell you, timing is everything.
It was funny that the heat vision was tied into Clark's sex drive, but considering that the first time it happened he was watching a movie about animals, what does that tell us about his preferences?
But he wasn't watching the film. he kept staring at the soon-to-be Mrs. Lex Luthor and her sweaty pheremones.
Next time I'll put the smiley icon there. It was a joke. Humor, ar ar.
Oh I knew it was a joke, but the nitpicker in me couldn't let it go without a comment.
Animals aside, I like the comments the girls made about the implication of clark's immunity to pheremone-girl.
I liked the new look of heat vision instead of the old standard pinpoint red beams (although the purist in me would've also liked to see that). However, I'm sure Clark will learn to eventually control that power to where he's able to narrow them down to red pinpoints if or when needed.
At first I wondered why Clark didn't use his super speed to catch or block his dad's bullet, since he's more used to the super speed and had just discovered his heat vision, but then I realized it was so he didn't reveal his super speed to Lex, which would then lead Lex to realize early on who Superman really was, if this show ever goes that far, but I remember hearing something that the producers don't ever intend to do that.
Okay... this "teacher"'s pheremone breath thing was the same thing Hathor did to the SGC people on Stargate SG-1.
I remember telling a friend of mine after seeing this episode about how Clark learned to control his heat vision... "He just thinks about baseball."
Whoa. So his heat vision is turned on when he gets HORNY???? Great. There goes his sex life.
Video store clerk: "What? This is the third porno tape you’ve brought back here melted! What caused this?"
Clark: "Beats me."
News Reporter: "The West Ridge Cinema Eight Theater behind me erupted into flames yesterday during a Russ Meyer festival. Although the fire department says it has not yet determined the cause of the fire, witnesses say the fire erupted in a manner that can only be described as ‘suspicious."
Witness1: It’s divine retribution, I tell you!! God is PUNISHING us for the pornography we revel in! What do you expect in a state with so many zip codes that begin in 666?"
Reporter: Some suspect this may be the work of a fundamentalist serial terrorist targeting theaters showing such films, especially after two similar fires in the past two weeks, one at the Fox Whitelakes Cinema 4, where a fire started in an auditorium playing Femme Fatale, and another at the Liberty Hall Cinema, in the auditorium playing special re-release of Basic Instinct…"
Witness2: "It was the weirdest thing, man. I was staring up at the screen, and Sharon Stone starting crossing her legs, and BAM! The whole screen just went up like the Fourth of July!"
That bullet-melting shot done in Matrix-time? Cooooooooooool.
Pheromones do not cause a person to lose all reasoning and sense of reality, as many sci-fi stories like this episode imply. Sure, it may cause one to do unwise, even dangerous things, like one-night stands, infidelity and such, but it certainly won’t cause someone to lose all sense of logic and reason regarding their friends, their business, etc., as it does with Lex, and it certainly won’t cause them to become a murderer, as it does with Jonathan.
Given how quickly fire can permanently scar, maim or kill you, I would’ve attended to putting out the fire consuming Lex before attending to Desire, even if it meant letting Desiree getting away, especially since she couldn’t get far from Clark anyway.

True, but it has lomg been a fantasy and sci-fi -- staple the seductive siren who steals men's hearts, saps their wills and turns them into slaves (or pigs). The use of the word "pheremones" is new, but that's part of the "plausible techno-babble" atmosphere of today's sci-fi. (Though maybe it would have been better if they'd made it a psychic power.

No pun intended?
Why, Darth, have I no idea what you mean.
Maybe he'll develop the red beams either. It could be a matter of precision-training. Sure, he can just set things on fire now, but I believe in the comic Supes has used the thin-beams heat-vision to perform long-range, partial (but very precise) lobotomies through a person's pupils.
Just saw an episode of Mutant X (forgive me) where Krista Allen (who plays Desiree) appeared as a mutant who has the same pheromone abilities as Desiree. Unusally tight type-casting.
Krista Allen? The busty girl that punches Jim Carrey for making lewd remarks to her in the elevator in Liar, Liar? Cool. She's also in Anger Management. She and a blonde hottie play a couple of porn stars that attend the same anger management class taught by Jack Nicholson that Adam Sandler does.
That's her, I did notice that she didn't look quite so (ahem!) dress-filling in this ep. She was also in the X-files in the episode 1st-person-shooter (or something like that). Not that I'm obsessively following her career ;-)
Me neither, but I collect photos of celebrities, and I noticed that that was her in Anger Management when I wrote my review for it.
