sisabetCutting for Smallville and Angel and hell if I can even bother with titles anymore
Smallville:
Okay, I grew up on a farm. Bo Duke - destroying your tractor is a big fucking deal. Those are very expensive machines. You don't just total a tractor like you do a truck, every fucking week. Or at least it seems every episode of Smallville that I have ever seen, feature the Kent family truck becoming a total loss. I only hope they carry full coverage, although considering they have a teenage son, I would not want to see the Kent's auto insurance premium. Hell - they had to have been cancelled at least 3 times in the past year for frequency of claims alone. But that is beside the point. A truck is not the same as a tractor. You keep tractors forever. If Bo is just waving off the loss of one, no big deal, well no fucking wonder the Kent's are losing their farm every fucking week.
Sorry. That tractor bullshit bugged me.
Lana also bugged me. She is trying to put the meteor shower behind her? Wha-huh? Since when? I know that I have not seen every episode aired. I missed most of season 2 and I'm only 3/4 through season one. I'm already sick of hearing about her frickin' parents. I get it, Lana. You are an orphan. Okay. Hearing you loud and clear. Now get a new hook, cause that one got old and you've squandered any good will I might have had for you. Seriously, is this a popular character? Does anyone even like her at all?
Lex in therapy. I want transcripts of the sessions. I also liked Lex in crazy!protect mode. That was...well, it was hot. When he yelled at White to stay away from his "friends" Dawn wanted to know who else was his friend besides Clark. We figured he meant his imaginary buddy Lewis from the island. I love insano!Lex and not only because he had pretend malaria. Well, the pretend malaria really helps. I feel a connection. It is very special. I need a moment.
Perry White is walking in Memphis!! Shout out! Okay, maybe not. Shut up. I refrained from all sorts of Squiggy jokes tonight and I so could have gone there.
I think Clark kept his clothes on for the complete episode. He was still sweet. I must be growing as a person.
Angel:
Oh My God. They Shot Lorney-tunes!
I have no idea where to start. Okay - let's try here: my boy is so very fucking sweet even as he is losing his grip. There is innate goodness in Angel, there is, there is. He just doesn't know it.
I'm sorry, I was just really moved by the last scene and his tenderness with Lorne. Although, I was kinda getting nervous with the way Lorne was muttering in his sleep and Angel was hovering. I was afraid that Lorne would mutter "Connor" in some kind of mystical dream convergence and Angel would kill him right then and there. Didn't happen, but I was still on edge.
I loved Harmony dancing by herself - she looked beautiful. Also - did Lorne tell her to dance earlier in the ep? I was distracted by the dog during their exchange.
Angel can have all the meaningless sex he wants and I am a-o-kay with that - seriously, but I think he had more chemistry with Cordelia than with Eve, which is just...sad. But, if that had been Lilah... damn, that would have been hot. Still, I'm glad he got off. It will help relax him.
Oh -yeah - Angel's Shower is Brian Kinney's Shower! I feel victorious in this. Almost like I helped willed the shower into being with my thoughts alone...Hot sex with Wes in the shower, Hot sex with Wes in the shower, Hot sex with Wes in the shower... Poor Angel. In there all alone. Thinking thoughts. Alone. It just ain't right.
Speaking of ain't right: Wes, your dealio with Fred is creepy. Stop it. (I think he heard me this time. Oh, and Knox is very, very evil but I can't say that I blame Fred. Wes is all sorts of creepy around her while Knox is nerdily charming).
Gunn marking his territory was just embarrassing. Although, I am 12 and I laughed like an idiot. It was still embarrassing. I did love Gunn's initial reaction upon learning Lorne had his sleep removed. Of course it is the bestest thing ever! Why W&H are the bee's knees. They should have gone to work for them years ago. Everyone is so seriously fucked right now, and I love how the show is still dancing around that topic.
I liked Spike this episode. We both are interested in Angel getting laid. I feel a kinship. Plus, he stuck around to watch. As did Lorne. That's my perverts! I love those guys.
I'm gonna let everyone else pick this one apart. I'm sleepy. Pretty Angel naked. I'm happy. Night.

But we love Thlana!
Date: 2003-10-31 11:47 am (UTC)I'm on the hetero side of the sexual spectrum, but even I acknowledge that Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are far better looking than wrinkly ol' James Marsters and David Boreanaz. Surely most of you realize that Clex is the best stuff not on Showtime.
Okay, I hear your argument: Smallville is lacking in gay pants. Understood, but the cameras spend too much time on the upper (bare) torsos to worry about bulges down below. Um, anyway...
Lana also bugged me. She is trying to put the meteor shower behind her? Wha-huh? Since when? I know that I have not seen every episode aired. I missed most of season 2 and I'm only 3/4 through season one. I'm already sick of hearing about her frickin' parents. I get it, Lana. You are an orphan. Okay. Hearing you loud and clear.

There's a fun thread on Television Without Pity about Great Lines You'll Never Hear on Smallville. There's a recurring theme about how self-centered Thlana can be. The most basic:
Lana: Let's talk about you.
You had goodwill toward Thlana? Truthseekersara and I have tolerated her for only so long, mostly because her lisp is funny and we like it when the sparks fly with Tina or Chloe. But this season she seems to have lost the speech impediment and isn't as much of a damsel in distress. Giving Thlana a spine is important, but only shows her shortcomings in trying to carry her weight in this show.
But we're in the minority. People love Thlana.
Yes! Thank you. Bi Duke should have been devastated.
Really? I never thought of Jonathan Kent as swingin' both ways. Excellent typo.

P.S. I'm not sure I appreciate Pete referring to himself as an UB.
