Teen Fatal Attraction
claudio_carvalho13 May 2006
The Smallville High School is visiting Luthor Corp., and Clark Kent is left behind with the science geek Alicia Baker (Sarah Carter) to get the next elevator. While in the lift with her, the cable breaks and Clark uses his heat vision to melt the security camera first, and his powerful force to stop the vehicle with his hand. Alicia in return "teletransports" Clark and herself to another floor. She discloses her ability to Clark and he tells her about his strength and heat vision. When they date, Clark finds that the girl is indeed obsessed for him, jeopardizing his privacy and Lana Lang's life, and not accepting to end their short relationship. Meanwhile, Lana finds that Adam keeps a journal about Clark and her, and she decides to evict him. When Adam uses the tenant laws to get more time, Lana asks for help to Lex Luthor.

"Obsession" is one excellent episode of "Smallville" and I do not qualify it as one of the best because again the resolution of the situation of the secret of Clark Kent is flawed. He told his powers to Alicia, arrested her in the end, and nothing happens, i.e., the girl does not expose his abilities to everybody. The promising conclusion, when the mission of Adam is disclosed, is great. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Obsessão"("Obsession")

Just Kiss Me
preciouschild25 February 2007
This was a very good episode. It was one of the funniest of this season and there were scenes that were just laugh out loud funny. The scene with Clark and Alicia in his room was very funny, hence my title. The whole episode went smoothly without unnecessary additions and stupid scenarios, which we've been getting a lot of this season. Two annoying things though, about this episode and a lot of the previous ones. One is that whenever anyone needs help the first person they run to is Lex to use his connections, money, etc to help them out. Yet whenever he uses these, they hold it against him and that's just so annoying. And the fact that he keeps helping is, I think, silly and a bit unrealistic (though he did refuse to help Clark/Pete in the previous episode). Secondly most of the krypton-infected people turn out to be psychos with just 1 or 2 exceptions. Overall however, very good, well-written and funny episode.

3x14 - Rewatch (Clark-centric)

Clark & Alicia are stuck in an elevator. She witnesses him using his powers in the elevator & in return she reveals her powers to him.

Since they reveal their powers to one another, they share a special connection & you see Clark happy for the first time when they go out on a date.

I, actually, liked Alicia & Clark together because it was free from all that nonsense he has with Lana. I just want Clark to be happy... preferably with Lois Lane. Haha. But, then she started becoming a crazy psycho & I am thinking... Can Clark or Lana have a normal relationship where someone is not crazy?

Lana needs to stop going to Lex for everything.

Lana is spying on Adam after he threatens her in the last episode. What is Adam's deal? Well, we find out & of course, it has to do with a damn Luthor. Those people are so damn sketch. When anything goes wrong, it is either a Luthor or Clark Kent. Smh... that's Smallville for you.

I loved Lex's dark humor. This Smallville re-watch is bad for my health because I like Lex too much. Also, I might me crazy because I hoped Alicia might have finished Lana off... finally. The girl is annoying I tell you & I am hating that girl more & more with each episode. Ugh.

We meet a Clark-obsessed Alicia...

I really like Alicia and think she could have been a reoccurring character. It would have been good for Clark to have a proper relationship with someone and if they didn't decide to turn Alicia into a psycho stalker then she could've been that someone. Her and Clark had great chemistry.

That being said, the episode was enjoyable! The first two acts were good, the awkwardness when Jonathan caught Clark and Alicia (although I thought his parents were way too harsh on Clark), even the quick psycho trajectory of Alicia kind of worked. The last act which involved Lana lost me however, and felt like it was just another pointless excuse to have her be the damsel in distress.

The last scene with Lionel though! Really love seeing snippets (and sometimes more than snippets) of his evilness.

Meet Alicia, the stalker
Rcwilkinson12327 November 2007

Clark infatuates a girl and can't get away from her in "Obsession."

When Clark and a girl named Alicia get caught in an elevator failure at the LuthorCorp building in Metropolis, Clark has no choice but to use his powers to stop the elevator and escape. Because of this event, Alicia, who also has a power in teleporting due to the meteor infection, feels like they have something special in common. She figures Clark has been dramatically affected by the meteors, and feels a bond with him. Initially, Clark appreciates Alicia, but not after she stalks him by teleporting wherever he is.

This episode is kind of sappy, and certainly not one of the stronger episodes of the season. But it's good to see Clark, at the end of the episode, stop Alicia and her tremendously annoying teleporting, and to see Alicia struggle, weep and wail in return.
