SV:Splinter...

[roxy]

I'm putting my reaction behind a cut because I don't want to screw up anyone's njoyment of tonight's show. there were things I liked --a lot but on the whole......Ya’ll know I'm fairly sort of patient. Ya'll know I'm willing to put up with a lot--try to look on the bright side. Ya'll know I even tried to find the Clana cute. Well, I envy you who do. I envy you guys who can look at this and get excited, who think the show is going in exciting new ways--I really, really wish I felt the same, I swear I do.
But me? I'm done. I've had enough. If I wanted a dry ass fuck, I'd ask for more hours at work. I cried! I actually fucking cried I was so mad. I actually felt myself hating Clark, and Chloe. What the fuck! That little speech in the hospital hallway? That speech about friendship at the end? I wanted to vomit. Clark, you fucking pussy mother fucker—Whoever that asshole is on Smallville, he is *not* my Clark.

Damn. I’m getting it now. The Light Switch Lex thing. I thought some of you were complaining too much but—say fucking what? SAY FUCKING WHAT???????

Enough.

I'm too fucking through.

Fuck you, Gough. Fuck you, Millar

Fuck you very much.

He's not my Clark either.

And Chloe?? Is SO dead. The neon hourglass over her head came back with a fury tonight, huh?

Thank God we can write, darling heart!

Vive Le Clex!!!

Amen to that--I will actively ignore what's happpening on the TV--this here, this is the truth!

[teot.livejournal.com]

Erm, I think I'm going to skip this one after all then. I was so hopeful after the last episode!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

No, no--some folks really really enjoyed it. You have to take into account I look at the show with a Lex-centric viewpoint. It had some marvelous moments and acting wise, Tom did a great job, and do did MR--and surprisingly, so did KK, but the writing hurt, the dialog was cruel and in my opinion, just ridiculous.

[teot.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll just wait until I can download it so I can skip through the cringe-worthy moments. The thought of just sitting in front of my tv watching SV -- which is a theatre-type room way on the other side of the house, no computer, no distractions -- might make me jittery.

. . .um . . . what happened? What did pod!Clark do?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

He distrusts Lex totally and completely, he doesn't like him at all--and just last week wasn't he at least trying to be civil? It's stupid, it really is. I have no idea why they're presenting the Rift in this way, it's like they're making charts for idiots in day-glo crayon--"Lex=EVOL, Clark=HERO, because I said so."

[emrinalexander.livejournal.com]

I'm done too - I never liked comic book Superman very much, in all honesty, and I'm not sure what this stuff is, but...well - no.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I agree. some incarnations lately have been more interesting but Clark is acting like a 1970's version of Superman--hell, he's acting like an some screwy version of Batman, without the broody maturity. I love my boys but I hate this show.

*sigh* This week....

[onelittlesleep.livejournal.com]

Oh, Chlooooeeeee! *whines* Why why why!

I just...damnit! Kill her already! Just kill her! I can't stand this heavyhandedness. It's not good suspense, it's just fucking painful.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

They give ham-fisted a whole new meaning....

[justabi.livejournal.com]

God, poor fucking Lex. This season, it's just sort of insane the way it's like the Lex they are relating to? Has no basis in the history of the past 4 seasons. Like none. And no one else, either. Hello, Lionel? Chloe? The fuck?

On the upside, I really do like that Fine is *actively* trying to keep Lex and Clark apart in a manner as subtle as a freight train. Makes me wonder what exactly it is he (an Jor-El!Lionel) find so threatening about Lex, especially Lex with Clark.

You know what is is, just like AlMiles know what it is. They're reading the slash and finding it makes way more sense then their dog/pony show. They have to pull Lex and Clark apart!


I agree so much with you about Lex--what the fuck--why are they trying to tell us that guy from those previous seasons is the guy they keep telling us is so evil?

[mkitty3.livejournal.com]

I'm going to post about this in a bit. But I didn't see Lex as evil tonight at all. If anything, he was the only person not actively lying to everyones face. Am I wrong about that? I only watched it once. It seemed to me that he was trying to help Clark and make sure no one hurt him and then Clark fucking breaks him arm! Clark doesn't even apologize!!! I really hate Clark right now. I really really hate him. If anything though, I think Lex was shown as abused and misunderstood tonight.

And they also forshadowed Jonathan's death at the beginning with the heart problem discussion. I think they are going to forshadow everybody up until the 100th episode.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I agree one hundred per cent with you. Clark is coming off as an amazing asshole, and that's wrong! I should feel that he's justified in his feeling, that he's making the right choice by distrusting Lex, but Lex is coming off as the injured party. He's like someone grabbing for straws because their world is coming apart.
I don't want to dislike Clark, it makes me sad, makes me miss the kid he was. What really frustrates me about the whole thing is that there's insufficient motivation for the characters to act the way they do.

[mecurtin.livejournal.com]

You're being metaphorical, right? Clark doesn't really break Lex's arm, does he??!?!@?

...

right?

[mkitty3.livejournal.com]

My thoughts are here Roxy. I'm just as upset as you are.

And yes mecurtin, he literally broke Lex's arm and does not apologize.

[mecurtin.livejournal.com]

Do you think Crazy!Clark breaking Lex's arm is supposed to be parallel to Crazy!Lex frightening the horsey and breaking Lana's leg, from Shattered?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It might be but still-it's *Clark* doing it! And not caring--unless they refer to it next week but most likely Lex will be healed completely and everyone will have forgotten that Clark assaulted Lex and Lana.

Flipping

[cinderella81.livejournal.com]

I am watching 'Splinter' right now, and am flipping between channels so I don't have to watch all the stuff that keeps making me cringe. The acting is really good, but it is kind of a letdown after all the other episodes. I can only hope that then next episodes redeems the show.

Re: Flipping

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I was excited by the acting too, at first and then...man. And I was enjoying the season so much.

[dawnybee.livejournal.com]

//But me? I'm done. I've had enough//
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Look, look, I feel the same way. Tonight was the first time I have ever felt my body go rigid and prickle with hatred for Clark and Chloe. My blood...I think it actually boiled! But don't be too hasty. There's a whole season yet.

C'mon down the ledge. We can have margaritas!!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

lol! I'm a little cooler now, but last night I was about to scrap everything, stories and all!
I'm just going to bite my lip and try it again.

Ahhh...Supernatural, I hear you calling my name...*g*

[quiet--tiger.livejournal.com]

I liked it, but that's just basing it totally on this ep, without looking at how it flows with the other eps. But I haven't liked Clark since season 3, he's pretty much just been a jerk since then, Lex keeps going back and forth and trying so hard but for what, because he just screws up again the following week. I think my mom said the show will be renewed, which is kinda shocking since I'm not sure where it can go since no one likes Clark and Lex isn't defined and they're going to kill off another character.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

That is a puzzle. I can't see how they can continue unless they take some cues from DC and retcon the hell out of this past few seasons. If they pulled everything into line, into a logical progression, it would be very watchable, enjoyable even. I like Clark, I just don't understand why *they* can't understand who he's supposed to be.

Retcon

[quiet--tiger.livejournal.com]

Especially since there's no continuity anyway, a little retconning to make the show not suck wouldn't be too hard. Even if they cop out and make it "all a dream" or something. I'm not sure who decided to make Clark an ass, but he should be fired.

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Ow, I'm so sorry you're so disappointed with the show and are not enjoying it anymore. :(

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I'm disappointed, yes, but since I've had a chance to cool down, I don't know if I can abandon it completely. I really love those guys so much, and I have been enjoying this season--but like I always say, it's the fans more than the show that brought me here and keeps me here. I'm not leaving. ;)

[duskwillow.livejournal.com]

Good to hear it! :)
Fandom usually is the most fun part of any show. It's not a show if you don't discuss it to death, and have fan fiction and vids and all the other things that come along. :) *g*

[pepperjackcandy.livejournal.com]

I cried! I actually fucking cried I was so mad.

BTDT. Only for me it was Rosetta.

:hugs Roxy:

yeah. I was so upset last night. I have to give them another chance I guess. See? This is what gets me in trouble all the time. Always giving another chance.*shakes head*

andthat was me. *whacks self*
