SV: wha? Hunh?

[roxy]

Okay, what the hell was that?

I missed the beginning so when I tuned in, Lana was just sitting there like a biblical curse. A one woman plague of WTFness. Did I miss the climactic conversation between Lana and Clark in which he compares her perfidious actions to Lex's and puts them in the same boat—oh, wait, that wasn't TV, that was tobywolf13

I was feeling pretty bad about my crappy plotting skills until watching this show tonight. Thomas continues to make me sing, but Mikey was definitely chanting "Countdown to freedom" in his head. Not even his talk with Kara, full of slashy overtones, made me smile. My poor boy. He'd hurting--look at him!

One thing that made happy was the Clark&Kara bit. Oh my! Thomas is SO good there--he's wonderful, funny and adorable but everything else is such *bullshit*. Clark has wrestled with being alien on earth for almost a lifetime, has had to work hard every day to fit in--and this girl has the nerve to compare her experience to Clark's? She just woke up--she hasn't suffered loss and hurt like Clark has trying to be human. Lord--let me put my hands in my pockets before I have to choke someone. So help me, I want to like Kara, I'm like *desperately* wanting to like her…please SV don’t kill it.

And why is it open season on Chloe?

I'm off to see if smarter folks than me can explain just what the hell we watched here tonight.

We watched the writers being unable to come up with new material, so they just recycled a lot of old stuff. It was the first six seasons in one compact package.

>Lana was just sitting there like a biblical curse. A one woman plague of WTFness.

haven't seen the episode yet, but she always hits me that way. :D

I guess she hasn't suffered from trying to fit in, but she doesn't like it, and she HAS suffered losing ever person she ever loved. I'm amazed she can function.

I don't KNOW why it's open season on Chloe. Sigh.

Ah, hell. And here I'm just heading downstairs to watch it. I guess I won't be saving this episode, huh? ;)

I got your note! You're a sweetie! Have you watched all the episodes I sent yet? Do you like it? Is Captain Jack to die for? Do you want me to do you the rest of the season? :D

Ms. Roxy, I may have to marry you. Hope Mr. Roxy doesn't mind. ;)

It did occur to me Smallville = Superboy. Sure, there's better cinematography and SPX, but tonight, I finally realized that's all it ever was. Sigh.

I can't remember hating an episode this much since Season 4. Even the detestable Green Arrow didn't get as much hate from me as this poor excuse for an episode, to me.

Chloe is a turncoat who deserves no love, but she IS getting it from all ends this season. OUCH.

God bless Michael. The writing for Lex only keeps getting WORSE and WORSE, especially when PERFECT!Lana is in the room.

How I wished that when the bitch told Clark she had come back "for us," that he would have told her, "No way, ho. This is not about what YOU want anymore."

*sigh*

I HATED IT.

Hee! That is the absolute, hands-down best description of Lana I've ever read. *applauds you*

I am not fond of open season on Chloe. And I (mostly) like Lois, but what the hell is with her randomly being off in Europe persuing important stories there? She did one story about a spaceship and she gets shipped off to cover foreign affairs? Craziness!

I will say this...Kara telling Clark that she was wasting the best years of her life...that kind of made me chuckle. I mean, it's not like she aged...or was awake. She had a really long nap, and woke up sparkly fresh. *giggle*
And, I really did like Lex telling Lana that even Clark wouldn't approve of some of the stuff she's done.
*sigh* If the producers would just do ONE episode with a eensy-weensy little sliver of pink K, I'm telling you...they think it'd be all whatever, but their ratings would go insanely crazy! Just one episode...a little bit of Clark and Lex throwing it down like they fell into a vat of alien Viagra...it'd do wonders in getting the show super sparked up again. Hmm...sorry...I went into cheesy-fantasy mode. Again.

"Lord--let me put my hands in my pockets before I have to choke someone."

I am right there with you, what is this thing about desperately trying to hold on to the Lana character. The time has come, past, and swung back round again to say bye bye to Lana Lang!

"And why is it open season on Chloe?"

In my opinion, Chloe has gotten the bums rush for the entire series. She never gets anything that is just about her for too long. Clark, was never gonna happen (but her cousin, sure, why not.), they call her name to walk for graduation, the state police break up the ceremony before she can get on stage, starts to get some recognition as a journalist, toss the spotlight Lois's way instead. Finally, finally she gets a steady boyfriend not out to kill her, he ogles another girl in her face!
Seriously, they crap on that character every season, it always ticks me off!

I'm sorry for all the Clexers and huge Lex fans on my list. I like Lex but I've never been in love with him or MR, but watching what he's been reduced to this season makes me mad. Lex Luthor doesn't FUCKING beg anyone to love him and if he did, it wouldn't be Lana Lang.

MR must be so painfully, painfully bored.

Oh, yeah, it is open season for Chloe:

7.01: She dies.

7.02: Cousin gets promoted AHEAD of her with no talent and she gets insulted repeatedly.

7.03: Clana are back together in full force with the new secret-keeper and Jimmy insults MF's and makes googly eyes at Kara.

7.04: She almost gets murdered by old Supes.

Yeah, she's having a stellar year. BTW, thanks for the shout out!

Well, we definitely agree that TW was wonderful in this!

Just remember that Kara has to play annoying to allow Clark to be the wise mentor. (Also? Just found out she lost her whole planet and everyone she ever loved. So maybe this desire to stand out, and her general brattiness, is just a deflection of her own grief?)
