- There's nothing like making out with your sweetie after blowing something up.
- We definitely got a bit of angry nineties Aquaman.
- Mera's not too hard on the peepers.
- I liked her way of talking, sort of Kirby-esque.
- I really like the effects for Aquaman's swimming, it's nice the makers of the show get that he swims very fast. Even in the Spidey movies they didn't seem to convey that his wallcrawling is supposed to be quite fast and scrambley. As Jeremy Piven said on Entourage, Aquaman is Spider-man underwater. I'm just free associating, but hey, it's Friday.
- Just me or were Justin Hartley's line readings at the beginning quite stiff? He improved a bit as the episode went on. He seems to act better in scenes that are more action oriented.
- "Squidlips" "...we got off on the wrong fin." Oh, that Lois!
- I like the idea that when Aquaman's been depowered by lack of water, getting hit with a splash is almost like a Banner-into-Hulk kind of moment.
- I'm glad we saw Mera's powers in action.
- I like how in Smallville, the return to the farm is always symbolic of a return to peace and happiness, however temporary.
- I feel silly for not seeing the ending coming! At the same time, it was nice to be surprised, I'm glad I usually avoid material on upcoming episodes.
- I have a feeling before the season is over, the line "an eye for an eye" will be uttered.
