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.)

The only production I've seen there was a Tenessee Williams play a couple of years ago

ick. not you, the playright, i've no use for mr. williams as he makes me feel ill. i saw jessica lange in 'a streetcar...' at the haymarket (?) and i wanted to pull out my own fingernails. i've no use for he nor mr. pinter.

Pinter - now, I know I've read The Caretaker but all I remember was "...drip...." etc etc. I think I may have been too young to 'get' it. Or perhaps it just sucked. It's one of those things I feel like I probably ought to like, but can't be arsed. (see also: Foucault's Pendulum and the complete works of Proust, both of which I am willing to believe are fabulous and neither of which I'm very tempted to dip into.) The play we saw was very 'Eh'. Undoubtedly it didn't help any that we were squished together into a tiny bit of space and looking down onto the tops of the actors' heads, of course - still, it wasn't exactly big with the cheerfulness or the HoYay. More like the HoAarrgh!, really.

...however, Rachel Weiss is purty. Although the top of her head? Not so much so. Pretty much like the top of anyone else's head. Sigh.

My sentiments exactly. I saw 'The Homecoming' - I keep wanting to call it The Homewrecker. All I can remember is, as you said, thinking it was extraordinarily 'blah'. And perhaps I was too young to get 'it' but I think not, I think there was nothing to be gotten.

But to completely change the subject, I see you have cast an entire assortment of HP-elders, does this mean we can expect you to write something soon?

Please? Please?

Bwah!

Oh, it's a lovely sandbox and y'all play so nicely in it. I'd like to write some HP, but it's difficult - on the whole I cleave to canon in my fanfic writing, but with HP I wouldn't really want to write in the current timeline - it'd be either Marauders or Future fic. Hmm. I do have some ideas. We'll see where they take me...
