These are not the droids you’re looking for.
Let’s hear it for the old folks!
So. How about we just give last night a big old ‘meh’ and be done with it?
No?
Okay. Five Good Things About Last Night That I Really Racked My Brain to Find (in no particular order or fandom.)
1. The great power of a long-sleeved black shirt.
Both Lex *and* Ryan were rocking said shirt at the very end of their respective episodes and I have to say, if this is the sartorial wave of the future, bring it the hell on!
2. Judge Abby Ross
She's pretty hot, no? And after squeezing out FIVE sprogs no less! It's great to see that Pete isn't the offspring of phantom parents, as we all know how that goes. Have we even *seen* Gabe since 'Jitters'?
3. Sandy Cohen, Great Jewish Hope
Whether it’s buying an old restaurant, assuring us that Gentiles really aren’t that funny, or assuring Ryan that he’s not going anywhere – Sandy is my new favorite character hands down. Also, um, the old folks were rocking the slash last night. First Sandy and Jimmy and then Kirsten and Julie. And even without the slashiness, it was nice to see grown-ups showing the young ones how the snark should really be done.
4. Lana Lang does indeed have a personality! -- however much like Kryptonite, any sort of proximity to Superman, or Clark Kent, renders her limp and useless. Perhaps if we move her to another show entirely she’ll be really good. I heard they have openings on, like, One Tree Hill or something.
(and last but not least, even though it look me twenty minutes to think of it)
5. Marissa Dumped Ryan! Ryan and Marissa are no more! Ryan is Free from the blob! Thank god that's over for a bit!
*has to be sedated*
Honorable Mention #1: Luke. The Great Gatsby Smackdown? Who knew he was so literary?
Honorable Mention #2: The Glasses. Rock the glasses, Clark!
And now the other list. The one I like to rather succinctly entitle:
LOTS O'CRAP.
1. Danny and Summer? You must be joking.
2. Blind people generally don’t have enough hand EYE coordination to jump on the back of moving vehicles. Seriously. Most seeing people can’t even do that.
3. Ryan faking like he hadn’t thought about the female version of Seth before. Ha!
4. The night watchman catching Ryan out in the file room two seconds after Ryan broke in. Dude. A) I guess we all carry around pocket flashlights b) Why the hell did Ryan listen to Seth in the first place? C) In that enormous fucking school, you wanna tell me that the watchman knew immediately where Ryan had gone? D) What fucked up place leaves the door to the file room unlocked?
5. Ryan, you dummy, you’re already on probation practically, and then you go and start a fight, thereby doing exactly what Oliver wants? This is really the way to win a fight and make your case you know. You can protect a lot of people after you've been *thrown* out of school. *whaps*
6. Don’t you think Clark’s newfound blindness might’ve been a bit more plausible if he’d bumped into something every now and then?
7. There’s this thing, called conflict of interest and recusing one’s self from a case when things like *kidnappings* happen. Perhaps the legal system in Smallville hasn’t heard of it yet.
8. Seth? Stop acting like a little bitch. If you don’t want to be with Anna, break up, but don’t pick at little shit in hopes she’ll do it for you.
9. Chloe, sweetie, when you dance with the devil, you wait for the song to stop before you try and run away.
10. Oliver, the imaginary girlfriend schtick is getting old. Almost as old as Marissa's stupidity, but not quite.
In Three Weeks: A vase gets shot. What, you think it’s gonna be person? Be serious, we’ve already done that storyline. Also, can I just point out how *long* three weeks is now that Josh has been spoiling us for like ages. And also, we just took a three-week break, WTF!
Also, I have no WTF!icon. Will somebody make me a WTF icon?

I so agree with you. On the other hand, this is so realistic it gives me flashbacks. I suppose i should commend the O.C., but I think I prefer to resent them for it instead.
Also, um, the old folks were rocking the slash last night.
dude, that last scene at the end, when Jimmy comes in at the last minute all, "Am I too late? What if I screw up? Hold me!" and then Sandy's face lit up? Oh, the slash.
Ryan was indeed a massive idiot in this episode. A woobie still, but an idiot woobie.
no subject
*cracks up*
I was dying at that. So fucking dumb and so fucking dead on at the same time. Is Anna on indefinitely now, or what? I am sadly uninformed as of late. and jimmy I have a madcrush DON'T YOU DARE TELL.
As for SV, I hardly even watched the majority of the ep; I did other stuff and listened and turned my head only for the pretty boy in the glasses. I am so incredibly meh on all of it right now.
no subject
Did I say it gave me flashbacks? I think I meant hives. And I can tell you about Anna, but over in my journal because I don't remember how spoiled Z. is for that story arc.
And oh yes, girls do make passes at boys who wear glasses. At least, ones that look like that.
no subject
I watch, but I don't process. It's all very pretty! meh! huh! pretty! meh! huh! -- you get the point. He looked way hot in those glasses though. I mean, like, whoa.

*sigh* I know. I was just saying, still.

I know. Jimmy is such a girl though, I mean really. At least we see where Marissa gets it from. And the fact that Sandy has a pet name for him? 'Coop!' Ack! *dies from the Sandy love*
