“I give you leave to like him. You have liked many stupider a person.”

I took a shower. I washed my hair. I unplugged the phone. I had beer *and* chocolate. And then the night got even better:

Smallville

+I *liked* this episode of Smallville for the first time in ages, ostensibly because I was expecting it to suck and it didn’t. I have decided that this dude was really a mutant upgrade because the writing people have actually learned something. Or not.

Okay, I really liked this episode because the X-Men Reject was named SETH, dressed like the *real* Seth and liked comic books. Did you all catch that mad ferris wheel action? [laughs like a hyena].

Okay.

The real reason I adored this episode of Smallville is because I decided that Lana was actually symbolic of fans everywhere who have been wooed by The O.C., and this was the AlMiles (TM Tigress35) attempt to win the fans back by proving they have the better show. What. Evah.


The O.C.

The Good

+Slutty!Ryan. Because, dude, I see he’s attended my school of dating. Relationships? What relationships? Sex is good. Lock the door behind you when you leave. (Who hasn’t has issues trying to keep tally before? C’mon.)

+Lots of Ryan kissage. I may not like watching him kiss *Marissa*, but I like watching his mouth, and that’s good enough for me!

+Seth working a pinstripe suit, with a tie that also had *opposing* stripes, and pulling the whole thing off. Who wanted to marry Seth last night? Yeah, exactly.

+I dub Julie Lady Deathstrike, because every time she was on screen I kept waiting for her claws to come out. In my head I even had the Wolverine special sounds. V v cool.

+I heart the parental love. Kirsten + Sandy 4 Eva!

+”I like Seth Cohen!” We know you do, baby.


The Bad

+That dress Marissa was wearing looked like a patchwork quilt made by Cher and Liza Minelli. I've seen the same number on Paris Hilton, and it didn't do anything for her either. (Unless Marissa's about to do a grainy sex tape with Shannen Doherty's husband.)

+Anna’s earrings at the benefit were like doorknockers. Why do they persist in giving her those craptastic earrings? Having short hair does not mean you should be wearing small caches of metal in your ears.

+That nasty polka-dot dress they put on my Sekrit Girlfriend is was WRONG. Summer is hot, why did wardrobe put her in some dress left over from the Regan administration?

+Rachel, the skank. We need no words, you know what I’m thinking here.


WTF

+Since when does Thai food come in Chinese carryout containers?

+How was it Ryan’s place to rat out Lady Deathstrike to Marissa? Dude, that’s family business, never ever *ever* fuck with somebody else’s family business. Especially somebody you’re trying to get next to. That’s just stupid, and Ryan should be smarter than that.


Next week: Seth gets his mack on! Twice! Ryan gets *his* mack on, now that we know that’s totally what he does. (Clearly this superhero isn’t a virgin.) Lady Deathstrike comes to dinner and makes shish kebab of everyone. Zahra’s head explodes from all the vicarious mackage.

> +I dub Julie Lady Deathstrike, because every time she was on screen I kept waiting for her claws to come out. In my head I even had the Wolverine special sounds. V v cool.

I swear to you, I did the exact thing when she came onscreen. Ask amyth71, she was there. Called her Lady Deathstrike, did the little Wolverine arm uncross he does to pop out his claws, with accompanying 'zhing!' sound effects. She is lethal. Obviously I'm not a fan of that character, but that actress does ruthless and manipulative pretty darn well.

Not only did I think it was dumb of Ryan to tell Marissa (I'm a fan of telling Julie that if she doesn't tell, he will) but I can't believe she'd tell the whole damn community at a charity function. It was unbelievably hurtful to her family and also out of character for She with Downcast Eyes.

Great episode, though!! No other show makes me squee, literally, so frequently.

Ack, you taunt me by using the icon of my girl!crush. I heart Kiera. Wait, what are we talking about? Oh, Lady Deathstrike. Dude, talk about seperated at birth, I could *hear* the metallic noises every time Julie crossed the screen, and every time she was nice to somebody I kept waiting for the nails to stab them. When she hugged Ryan, I totally thought she was going to stab him in the back. Literally.

Completely aside of OOC actions and all that, dude, who purposefully sabotages their family in the eyes of a community like that? I mean, unless it's about a felony or something.

I doubt I'll get to it today, and I don't have photoshop at home so that means next week, but I'll make you one. Any special requests?

Whatever you want to make is cool by me. Although I have a special adoration for JRM's forearms in those white shirts, and their soccer practices. A little OT3 action never hurt anybody, either. (What? That was totally some repressed whatever happening there.)
