Just watched S2 E4, Red, for the first time. Absolutely hated it.

Everything about how Clark is acting is horrible. None of this is like Clark. I read on the wiki that apparently it's meant to remove his inhibitions, but it's not even that. It's like as far away from his personality as possible.

From how he treats Lana and Chloe, to how he talks to his parents, to how he treats Lionel Luthor, to what he does to Jessie, to trying to kill Jessie's father, every single thing he does is as far away as possible from who Clark Kent is as a person and what Clark Kent would do.

Lowered inhibitions only doesn't lead to that. No one acts like the exact opposite of themselves when drunk/high/etc.

And now Clark is in the worst position with Lana he's been yet. This sucks.

I'm dreading watching the other episodes in the series that include red kryptonite.
