Get bent.

I have a mate ::waves to T-Bird:: who has no association with SV fandom but whatever drivel I write and the show itself. Her entire recap of Tuesday night consisted of ‘down with the Clark/Lana’ and 'Also! Hay. There was lots of hay in this episode.'

She was right. But you know, she got me thinking and considering that we’re about 20% of the way through the season, there are some burning questions that we need answered...


1. Where is the scene where Lionel rips Lex a new one about Desiree? How the *fuck* is Lex going to get hitched, get it annulled, and Lionel says ‘nada’? I think not.

2. When did ‘being honest’ become Lana’s new catch phrase? I know she got tired of talking about her dead parents, but really this isn’t a vast improvement at all.

3. Lionel and his redheads. Dude, he’s got good taste. You’ve gotta give the man credit, blind or not.

4. When are they going to give us some Lillian love? M&G, c’mon and get with the program. It’s not like Gillian Anderson is doing anything right now, and she is Lillian Luthor.

5. Why is Chloe this season’s Pete? Is there some clause in the contract that says only one stellar supporting actor can get screen time per season? If I was AM, I’d call my agent.

6. Has AOT always been this hot? Damn.

7. KK has improved over last season. However, is this because we can actually *see* her face now that they’ve removed 75% of the war paint?

8. Is it my imagination or has Bo Duke been cutting down on his platitude vitamins?

9. Where’s Dominic?

10. MR. Did he get better looking over the summer? Is that even possible?

11. How many of us think that Nell’s new beau is going to be a future MoTW?

12. Who’s taking bets that Hamilton will be the big bad at the end of the season? (cos as i forgot to mention, he's um, so not dead.)

Lana is this season's Lex, only less subtle about it. Although I prefer this approach to staving off the Clana than last season's, wherein they just pretended that Whitney was some sort of actual obstacle, I really am getting tired of hearing the same conversation every week.

4. When are they going to give us some Lillian love? M&G c’mon, and get with the program. It’s not like Gillian Anderson is doing anything right now, and she is Lillian Luthor.

A-fucking-men.

BtVS and SV both suffer from having more cast members than they know what to do with. BtVS handles it by leaving unnecessary characters just wandering around in the background with nothing to do, or by giving us long pointless "research" scenes. SV handles it by giving minor characters thirty seconds to deliver exposition (two birds, one stone). Both approaches are equally lame. At least we got a good bit of Chloe last season, and I hope we'll see more of her in the future. Preferably not wearing the same shirt for three eps in a row.

6. Has AOT always been this hot? Damn.

Yes. But farm life repressed the hotness. Now it can run free. :o)

8. Is it my imagination or has Bo Duke been cutting down on his platitude vitamins?

Only because he's been replaced by the Magnificent Greek Analogies. ;o)

9. Where’s Dominic?

I think he's still in the trunk.

10. MR. Did he get better looking over the summer? Is that even possible?

It should be illegal, looking like that. It probably is.

11. How many of us think that Nell’s new beau is going to be a future MoTW?

Either that, or just another excuse for Lana to whine every week.

12. Who’s taking bets that Hamilton will be the big bad at the end of the season?

Oh yeah.

Sorry, I just had to publically adore your icon, Jess.

Hee! Thank you.

It's the only reason I can ever tolerate Lana at all, really. The producers might think she's a perfect little Mary Sue, the other characters might think it, she might even think it... but we know the truth. ;o)

I figured I couldn't be the only one annoyed by this. Dear god, make that stop! People this intelligent do not have to keep quoting shit they both know they know. If it was a pissing contest for who has the better memory for literature, then they would be going for more obscure works. This is just on my nerves.

Problem is, they want them to sound all intelligent, but they also assume we won't get any of the references. I was screaming about this last season on Angel when Wes and Lilah had that endless rehash of Dante's Inferno. "Lilah, he's read the book. Stop recapping it!" ::sigh::

Going for more obscure stuff would mean that the show's writers would have to read the obscure stuff. Yeah, right.

first of all, right on to the icon. she is so right out of an edward gorey story. secondly, i'm half-past tired of the 'keeping secrets is bad' anvil. you can tell how young they are by this approach alone.

maybe clark has a STD, she needs to piss off.
