The Shallow Take on SV, natch....

[roxy]

Okay, Lana--there's a thin line between love and hate. Ya'll should settle this like normal folks--you, Clark and Lex in a sex sandwich. (It'll work I tell ya!) Boy, she really turned into a lying bitch heifer. Wow. I'm kind of impressed against my will.

Good interaction between Lex and Clark--Lex is playing it so cool that no matter what Clark says, he comes across as crazycakes. If you didn't know Lex and what he's done, you'd think he was being stalked by a crazy ex-boyfriend. And on the shallow side, they both looked incredible tonight. Lex, Lex...loved every second of you on the screen.

Here's the scary thing--I think I really like Jimmy Olsen. *slaps self* He's turning out to be the most decent person on the show. Chloe is too full of self pity--she's just too much the angst hoor, and I always thought she was a lot tougher than what they've got her doing here. I want her to have more backbone when it comes to herself. She's plucky girl reporter in any other circumstance until it applies to herself. Grrr.

Kara...okay. Wow. I kind of liked her prejudice. Sounds weird, I know, but it makes Kryptonians more real--and more frightening. Aren't we happy that Jonathan found Clark, and not Lionel? Don't you feel bad about all the bad things you said about Bo?

Thomas, Thomas, you've grown, you really have grown. That look when Knox was weeping bitter tears over the body of his beloved, oh my. You could see Clark feeling that loss over and over right down to his toes. It's one thing to know you're going to lose everyone you've ever loved--it's another thing to feel it in your bones. What a horrible prospect. That's why I find stories in which Clark slowly loses his mind as the centuries pass so believable.

So, me, I liked the ep lots. It was fun, I loved Dr. Knox, and his story. Dean Cain, my word. That man could still play Superman. Handsome as ever.

that's teh shallow report--now let's see what ya'll thought!

SO SORRY!!!

Lex was fantastic, but everybody else just ticked me off. Which is not to say that I didn't enjoy the CLex scenes, but Clark was a pissy bitch to Lex for no good reason at all. Apparently, according to Clark, it's wrong if Lex studies mutants, and it's wrong if Lex locks dangerous mutants up, and it's wrong if Lex cures mutants.... What, is beating up and killing mutants -- the way Clark does -- the only good thing to do with them? Unless, of course, the mutant is Chloe, and then no rules need apply? *smacks Clark around the block* I notice Our Kryptonian Hero didn't seem inclined to apologize to Lex for accusing him of murdering Lana (not to mention nearly killing him over it), even though Lana is currently shacking up at Clark's place and doesn't look all that dead, more's the pity. And I notice Clark didn't bother to thank Lex for getting all rightful criminal charges against Lana dropped so she could come back without getting thrown in prison. The Kents didn't raise Clark with many manners, did they?

Don't you feel bad about all the bad things you said about Bo?

Not a bit. I couldn't possibly say enough bad things about Bo.

As for the J'onn vs. Kara debate...isn't it interesting that J'onn seems to have targeted Kara's entire family, even though he himself claimed that it was her father alone who tried to assassinate Jor-El? Is that supposed to be legal on Krypton -- punishing not only the criminals themselves, but their entire families as well? I'm liking J'onn less and less all the time....

J'onn J'onz--it's as if they have no real idea who he is. This weird 'family retainer' thing they have going on with him puzzles me. I like MM but I'm not sure I like him here on SV. I'm not too sure it's a good idea. I'm not as bothered by Kara being there because it affords them the opportunity to grow Clark up.

I've decided that Clark's odd behavior towards Lex is going to be chalked up to the 'bitter old ex's' kind of thing. The way Thomas plays their relationship is so that, it makes me laugh. When I'm not grinding my teeth.
