    Funny scene

    Right at the end when Lois is outside the lift her Daily Planet folder is upside down. When she enters the lift it's blank. Next second it's the right way up.

    Committed

    The plot in "Committed" is about as far fetched and tacky as it gets in Smallville. Some of the dialogue is extremely corny. The actor who plays the villain of the week comes across as completely lifeless and bland at times, and then goes really over the top at other times. He also never really sells the motivation for his character's actions. Despite these points, I can completely forgive the negatives thanks to the overall execution of this episode. The dialogue between Clark and Lois is absolutely hysterical at times, and made even better by the delivery from Welling and Durance. Chloe and Jimmy's section of the story is more dramatic, but it helps to finally put the annoying jealousy behind their characters. We also get to see some interesting scenes between Oliver and Tess, which thankfully gives Tess something more to do than be the female clone of Lex. While the plot would seem on the surface to be quite dark, this is actually one of the few really entertaining episodes in season 8, thanks in part to the show taking a break from the weak Doomsday story.

      This is the first time that Lois admits the way she feels for Clark.
    • Goofs
      Near the end where Clark and Lois are waiting outside the elevator the folder Lois is holding says 'Daily Planet' on the front. When she enters the lift the folder is blank. In the next shot it shows the daily planet on the folder.

      Lois Lane: [wakes up hungover on Clark's couch wearing his football jersey] Smallville?

      Clark Kent: [enters the room loading up a glass of water with alka seltzer] Good afternoon, Lois. I thought you might need one of these.

      Lois Lane: [looks at the disarray of the room especialy the random articles of clothing laying about before looking at Clark] Please tell me we didn't...

      [At first Clark looks Lois in confusion but then it dawns on him what she is talking about]

      Clark Kent: [chuckles] You're hysterical when you're hungover, Lois. Don't worry you got changed all by yourself. In the middle of the kitchen for like an hour.

      Lois Lane: [attempts to take a sip of her drink but grimaces and puts it down] I take it I took a little drive on the porcelain highway.

      Clark Kent: It was more like a cross-country trip.
