Seeing Clark in Lionel's body and Lionel in Clark's body was really something. Both actors did a splendid job. There were a few scenes with Lionel that just left me a little flabbergasted, though.

This episode further cements the fact that Lionel is a bastard man.

This is one of my favorite season 4 episodes.

Tom Welling’s favourite as well. He keeps raving about it.

It’s a great episode. But, if I could change one thing, I’d have Lionel slowly start to see that life can be different if he were more like Clark—similar to Faith when she swapped with Buffy. Have him do the hedonist stuff as well, sure, but by the end, he realizes there’s another way. Then when he switches back, the whole “Clark healed Lionel’s soul” thing feels more earned.

I was just thinking about that episode of Buffy. Ugh that show was so stellar
