"Lucy"

[roxy]

Listen, I was a military dependent(*not* an army brat) for 18 years--I was friends with officer's kids, and no one--*no* one ever referred to their pop by their rank. Ever. EVER.
Granted, it was during the Vietnam era and stuff was different then but still--"THe General." God-- I just wanted to smack the crap out of her every time she said that. I liked everything else though, logic bombs and all. Silly episode yes, but just too pretty to be mad at.

I get the same impression--that SV is just flailing its way to the end of S5 and the Holy Grail of syndication. Certainly Mikey R. has made it explicit by moving back to LA and asking that his scenes be limited to a couple days of shooting. And thus are we deprived of the Best Thing About Smallville.

SV is one of those unusual shows--like Voyager--whose fanfic is better than the show itself, so I'm not surprised you came into the fold that way. I think the longing for what "could shoulda woulda" been in the hands of greater producers has driven the creation of some really great fiction. Not to mention smut.
