Thinking over Season 2 Smallville

[fajrdrako]

aelora has a list on her LJ of her favourite moments of Season 2 Smallville. I agree with many of her points - but there are others she mentioned that would be among my least favourite. (Lex with the golf clubs, for example.)

That got me thinking about moments I would cite as favourites. Thinking about it, I realized how polarized season 2 was for me: some episodes that depressed me and almost turned me off the show, others that I adored and which revived my love. Needless to say, my favourite moments usually appear in those favourite episodes.
