sisabet | Last Night's Smallville - What Was the Ep Called

I just don't know if I can even watch Smallville anymore. Seriously - last night around 8:42 I looked up and left my house to go across the street to Dawn's cause she made soup and at that moment - Dawn's cooking was so much more appealing than the single active fandom I have left.

Granted, I went into the ep annoyed cause I wanted to think about my vid and moving fandoms in my brain is jarring and I did miss the first 10 minutes cause of said vid taking over my brain and I did not notice it was time for Smallville - but dude, I can only take so much.

And trust me - normally I can take a lot of anti-women bias from my fannish endeavors, but last night was an insult to my intelligence. Apparently, women of Metropolis have never ever heard of one night stands. This concept, along with the concept of Rich Playboy, love em and leave, et al. is completely foriegn to them because they are stupid.

And after last week and being asked to buy that both Clark and Lana are virgins (by whose rules? Clinton's???) I am fed up. I am also convinced that terrible, horrible dark things have been done to my pretend boyfriend Steve DeKnight and that it is very possible that he is being held captive somewhere and forced to watch endless repeats of "Celebrity Mole," cause dude. That is the only possible explanation.

It is not as if I don't like my heroes to be morally motivated, or even orally motivated. I just need for the endorsed morality of a show to freaking make sense and depict the larger fabric of society as a whole in which things are not always black and white, the hero is not always right and sometimes the good guys are wearing the black hats and making hard choices. Yes, I often want Giles to lie to me about it all but there comes a point where I can not take one more second of faulty Seventh Heaven Reasoning.

And how in the world can a show drop out of my favor so freaking fast? One week I am in ecstatics over Transference and now I am actually considering watching "Lost" or cutting out active TV altogether.

I am one very fickle bitch. But I am a fickle bitch with a beta draft of a vid! Su-Weet!

That episode blew several chunks. Shut up, Lana.

Dude - Lana and Jason were the only interesting things in the ep to me. When I realized that - my mind exploded.

My default setting is 'Shut up, Lana'. At least Chloe almost got some. Too bad Clark is an ass. And totally gay.

Yes. I, too, thought that I had stumbled into Little House on the Prairie for a moment. I was ready to throw things at the screen when Clark actually started to believe Lionel. I seriously beleive that this will all turn out to be Lionel's biggest, most evil plot ever.

But it was good to see Jane Seymour. And it makes that whole "Charmed" episode really worthwhile if we get to have Jane being all cool and spooky. Well, worthwhile to me anyway.

I was all "DR QUINN!!! I THINK DR QUINN IS HITTING ON LANA" and that was nice. I liked the Lana parts - it was everything else that just. pissed. me. off.

And they could make it up to me by having Lionel be totally evil and just playing the Saved By the Spirit O'Clark card for all it is worth, cause that would be a neat switch.

But good god. Yes - all women want to be married and losing that will drive us to insanity and wtf is going on?

And they could make it up to me by having Lionel be totally evil and just playing the Saved By the Spirit O'Clark card for all it is worth, cause that would be a neat switch.

I totally, honestly, thoroughly believe this is the case... probably because any other thought causes instant and severe pain, and because I am not ready to give up my weekly Lex injection. But yes. I even did huge-ass spec post of doom on it.

I loved the part in her little speech where she went off about "And then I saw you at the opera and you didn't recognize me and I had sex with you, again! and I was wearing your earrings. And it's all your fault I'm a moron!"

*snicker* "I had a fiance! That you totally didn't know about! And yet still it is your evil fault that I fucked around on him and dumped him for you! Because I had a fiance!"

Without a doubt, she was the dumbest villain ever. And, of course, Lex was just asking for it, the big ole slut.

Still, as bad eps. go, it didn't do as much damage to my suspension of disbelief as Janeway, Parris, and the pan-galactic space puppies episode.

And how in the world can a show drop out of my favor so freaking fast? One week I am in ecstatics over Transference and now I am actually considering watching "Lost" or cutting out active TV altogether.

Hey, if you're a fickle bitch, then so am I. *g* Because that's exactly how I felt after last night.

I do, though, consider it a major accomplishment of the people who make this show (although not in a good way) that it's the episode where we finally get to see Lex having sex like a normal young hot rich guy (something I've been waiting and wishing and hoping for all these years) that makes me never want to watch the show again. That takes some fancy foot work!

Really! I mean - if you told me that an episode where Lex turns out to be a big ole slut with a bad memory would piss me off, I'd think you were crazy.

Maybe that is it. There is such promise laden in the idea of Lex (already with crazy mutant-stalker attractibilty) and his slutty ways and his type and just - well if handled any way other than completely ineptly and insanely -- it could have been a really interesting and hot episode.

But right now SV seems intent on a Sexuality=Evil formula that no only is laughable, but is also harmful and just plain offensive. If I want to feel that the power of my vagina is dirty, wrong and corruptible, I will watch Seventh Heaven, thank you very much.

Dude I'm in total agreement, I picked the worst time ever to join this fandom. At 8:15, I switched over to Lost and DLd Smallville. Speaking of Buffy writers, last night was Fury's first penned ep of Lost and I gotta say that it was my favorite ep so far. The show is really good sis, come on over. Do it for the man who got the mustard out and wrote puppet!Angel. You know you want to.

I am also convinced that terrible, horrible dark things have been done to my pretend boyfriend Steve DeKnight and that it is very possible that he is being held captive somewhere and forced to watch endless repeats of "Celebrity Mole,"

I think he needs some saving. Or to just get away from the WB.

Heh - see, I have developed a new mental filter that I like to call the "WB filter." Wherein my brain just automatically ignores everything that seems like twisted, teen-drama moral reasoning. Which means I didn't actually retain any of Spell last week, and only kept the angsty Lex parts from last night.

Of course, if they continue on this Lana and Clark are VIRGINS OMG train, I might be forced to...I don't know. Give up the show entirely and live in fic. Not that that's a bad thing. At least the poor characters are *getting* some in fanfic...

Linzee

Yeah, you've...really got to wonder about the "values" the writers have at this point. Consensual sex between adults? Evil. Teens controlled by sinister foces (omg witchez!) and made to humilitate themselves for the audience? Good! Hurrah.

I'd recommend Stargate, when it starts up again in January. It's treatment of women isn't great, but there's at least one female character who gets to kick ass and not be condemned for dating someone. (Except by some parts of the fanbase, of course, but that's a whole other rant...)

Ah - not gonna ever really get into Stargate. I tried. It didn't take.

I've got fandoms. I've got stuff... just this one is icky and bothersome.
