Okay, no screwing up my joy: the shallow report

[roxy]

Call me a fool, call me crazycakes if you want but I loved this ep. Probably not the way they wanted me too, but it was completely fascinating and I feel rejuvenated--they still love each other--so much!!! So much bitterness, so much loved turned upside down.

I was happy that Clark got him some. Actually, happy as I was that Clark got laid—hey, I'm happy for anyone getting the good--but that was pretty stupid, really. I think canon established that Clark and Lois get it on with no problems and by the looks of it they get it good. This sonic boom business was the writers inner asshole little boys coming out to play. It took AliemBoy a long time to get the hint too. Me, I would have been all, "You're super? Thank fuck! Strip. Bend over." But that's just me.

It galls me beyond all belief that Clark takes Lionel into his confidence--it's stupid, it's as if the boy doesn't have a brain or an ounce of self-preservation. (Hello, SV? Being good does not equal dumb) Personally, I think in a way that Lionel warning Clark was just his version of screwing his son's woman again.

Lex, Lex Lex, I liked you in this ep. You looked gooood. You were hot. The scene where Lex confronted Clark in the farmhouse? Oh my--spit, rinse, repeat. *That* my dears was classic hoyay, even if it was turned on it's ear…and pretty darn hot even so. I took the kiss as misdirected passion. I know who he was thinking of. *nods*

As far as my girl, Hamsterina, I'm telling you, that crazy bitch is not Lana. I'm not even talking Clona--she seemed too OOC to me, almost as if I was writing her. There was nothing in her character up to this point that indicated to me that she'd behave this callously at all, unless they're finally admitting she's some kind of mutant and now it's Crazy Time. I don't like her, but still—they didn't seem to be building *this* kind of person at all. Does being mildly self-centered cause you to get like this? Is that what they're trying to say? Lex has always been self centered (though on him it was cute and consisted mostly of spoiling Clark because it made Lex feel good) and he's Evil. And now, Lana seems to be Evil. Only Clark is good and he always puts others first. *koff* I know right? They're ALL self-centered. Ah well. Some one who is smarter and more articulate than Yer Mother will sort if out for us, thanks goodness.

Anyhoo, loved it. I know, it might not seem like it, but I watched it real time with my chair turned to the TV and not the keyboard, and my mouth may have been slightly open, well, 'cause I was talking to the set and this time I wasn't screaming die bitch die meaning the whole show....

Geez…Lois was really fun and funny, and hey--better looking. Fuck, I think all the birds in my neighborhood just died and the moon is bleeding.....

Oh for serious? I watched X-Files but sporadically as I didn't have my own tv back then; what does the hand exercise symbolize? I noticed that but chalked it up to how the Luthors are typically so kinesthetically expressive. Massaging everything. Stroking everything. Rubbing things. Pool cues. Balls. This is getting dirty so I'll stop. :) Buit that's a good point that this broke the usual pattern of everyone instantly healing. Lionel's in an interesting place right now, where he can swing either way. He did just beat a woman to death without remorse and had forced Lana into a marriage knowing about the baby plot. It's like every so often they'll remind us the MB still lurks in between the advice to Clark and Lex.

Oh man, I was so unclear there--forgive me, this seems to be my woolybrain week. I only meant that it was interesting that the writers remembered that Lionel had injured his hand, was wearing the glove to cover the injury (i assumed) and then, was exercising his hand( the rubber ball thing) instead of suddenly being cured--like when Jonathan was shot in the leg and we never saw a bandage, or rehab or even a limp....also, it was just entirely weird to see Lionel wearing the Black Glove of Evol that Lex supposedly will end up wearing one day. That just caught my imagination. And let me apologize for the rambly nature of my answer. I'm just having one of those...months. *G*
