e! Clearly they have chemistry but the difference in opinions around the castle causing them to be enemies makes sense. Since they already had the mutual attraction from the beginning AND knowing that there’s a bit of a built-in timeline (aka they’re only together as long as they’re working on the castle), I didn’t mind how quickly they went from enemies to lovers. Some things that also helped the transition were that Clark became more open minded about curse breaking and I don’t think Riley ever really hated Clark.

What I Didn’t Like:
1. Some of the jabs they took at each other were a little too intense - I know it was meant to be banter but I don’t think it landed super well but that’s pretty minor30:T5c4,2.75 Stars Rounded to 3

WWTQ: Are you sure you know what you're doing?

But setting the practicalities aside, I didn't believe these people would be anything more than colleagues and I'm going to say it, Clark's dad was right. You make up a discovery, you're going to get shunned in the scientific community, or get a movie made about you. Or both.

The TL:DR is that this was just not for me. This was ligh
