Labyrinth (is that what it was?)

[roxy]

Loved it right up until the end, which was written by twelve year old fan-girls. Must they keep beating that dead rotten, decayed effing horse? How dare they make us believe that Stickie is the reason my boys come to hate each other? What a stupid idea. Even I wouldn't write it that way, and I *suck* for logic! I mean, certainly Clark understands that Lex can't be trusted, and that his personal agenda is in the end, dangerous and destructive--but what really gets his knickers in a knot is Lana? "OMFG!!! U took my grl!!!!11" He's 18--19--whatever-he's not 14 anymore. Most guys are all fuck you you creep, and keep going. They grow up and move on.

And Lex. Please. Flaunting Stickie like that, peeing on her leg and stuff. My Lex is not a twelve year old stuck in a grown man's body.

*koff*--aaaaand back to the ep...Thomas did an excellent job. I felt his confusion and longing, his anger at the topsy-turvy world he was in, poor boy! And how horrible for him to see fear in his mother's eyes. Boy, Annette did a good job with that didn't she? Besides looking absolutely fabulous! She was born to be Mrs. Luthor.

Okay, say what you will about her, but I thought Chloe was great in this ep! She does crazy so well—it was creepy to realize that she was actually loosing it bit by bit as she talked to Clark—and to see it on his face, that ‘oh my god’ look…good stuff!

Lex--ah, poor spoiled rotten Lex. Michael does that tear shimmering in the eyes better than anyone, gosh! He once again nailed it for what he was given. It’s possible he pleased me so because I love him so but, wow. He put so much power into those short scene with Thomas. Those two must still enjoy working together, their scenes are so intense, so full of emotion....

On the other hand, in any scene except those with Michael, Stickie is just…boring as hell. She looks uncomfortable talking or touching Clark. How can she have such sex appeal with Lex and be so blaaaaaaagh with Clark? One of life’s mysteries, I suppose, like why do socks disappear in the dryer, and why am I the only one who gets those little hairs caught…but I digress..

Also, Phil Morris? Weeeeeell, I am preparing a plate chock full of my own words in a light cream sauce. The man is wonderful as J’on J’onzz! Jackie Childs who??

So, I put in my vote for this as a fun episode. It didn’t move anything along, it did bring that stupid love thing back, so I imagine we have to suffer through more of that crap, but all in all, a most enjoyable outing!

Either Lana is meant to be a symbol of Clark trying to hold onto his childhood, being reluctant to take the step away from her, from Smallville and go for it as Supes, or AlMiles have an unhealthy love for that girl. Or--the guys I grew up with were harsh dicks who never loved anyone as much as Clark loves Lana. Quite possible, because I don't think I ever loved anyone that much. Could be part of the reason I'm so impatient with it. Like I say, Lex and Lana I kind of like. Those two, erg.

I kind of liked that Buffy ep, even though I admit to screaming like a banshee because they didn't put it to bed all nicely tucked in and explained--but that was also why I liked that episode.

and on the other hand,(always an other hand) I liked that they didn't do that to us with this SV episode.

I guess once you just forget about what you want to see and just focus on what makes sense for the show, its easier, the one consistant thing about Smallville is that right or wrong, Clark has always loved Lana, and they haven't had any real closure, and Clark is definitely not a dick, lol, he's a very sweet boy with a big heart. I really loved this episode, can you tell?:D
