Missed opportunities & things that you would change looking back to improve Phantom

[xrayvision]

Talk about missed opportunities you spotted in Phantom here. Bring up anything you saw that you think could have been done better or something that just plainly wasn't done that should have been.

im just going to take a wild guess and say they should of had the fortress in this episode. im still hoping it will be but based on spoilers and images and trailers it doesnt look likely.

That they would introduce a young Belinda Carlisle to go out with Clark in Season 7.

But other then that no changes to improve Phantom.

The secret revelation to Lana was anti-climactic. I also thought Clark vs. Bizarro came too late in the episode. I didn't like how they used that kid as Bizarro's vessel before he took over Clark's body. It was too corny. They should have used an adult. I also wish they explained how Bizarro got a body. Did he remove an organ of Clark's & create an entire body out of it?

i think there should have been a battle between clark and the little kid.

tom welling beating up a brat? funny!

While I liked the episode, there is a thing about cliffhangers that always leave you feeling left short. The pacing in this episode felt off, because they were mashing in so much so quickly.

The Clark/Lana loft scene seemed like they were trying too much and just fell short. Like someone else said, it was anti-climactic, but considering it's the 2nd time we've seen Clark reveal his powers to Lana, I guess the shock value is lost on me.

The Phantom in the boy was done entirely for shock value. And it didn't really work for me.

The de-coding the longitude and latitude bit with Lois annoyed me. I've seen that so many times on television and movies that it was kind of boring and unoriginal.

Lastly, they should have spent more time on the CGI of Bizarro's face at the end there. It looked bad and was really not their best work.

I think they did improve that shot of the Luthorcorp building. It looked much more realistic than last week.

I was positive Bizarro would be one of Lex's supersoldiers, who I assumed to be made from Clark's DNA, possessed by the phantom. I think that would've been a better way of it happening, and it would've been a bit more accurate to the comics Bizarro, so we wouldn't have so many people throwing a hissy-fit about it now. The way they did it, the whole *WHOOSH* *FLASH* "I borrowed some of your DNA" thing... um... O...kay?.... [shrug] Not what I was expecting.

[xrayvision]

Did they ever explain how Lex got that kid who was possessed by Bizarro? Baern was impossible for Lex to stop, how come Bizarro wasn't?

i would have made chloe's power not so stupid.

I would have also had clark be more surprised when lana said she already knew about his powers. I think that entire scene should have been longer. like lana questioning why he never just told her, and why chloe knew before her (I mean, lana doesn't know how chloe found out). they needed to have a long in-depth conversation about the whole thing.
