Smallville

[capnzebbie]

I got off work early enough to see Smallville tonight without having to tape it. I'm so happy! my sister and I got to watch the show together for the first time since last season's finale. We enjoy watching the show together because we have lot's of stupid fun. :) We call ourselves the Smallville Ladies Choral Society and sing along with the theme song at the top of our voices. It goes something like this:

"Somebody SAAAAAVE ME! I don't know the rest of the words just SAAAAAVE ME!" And we do all the Ooooohs on various pitches that don't really exist in western music. Anyway, we enjoy it. :) I holler out rude comments about the HoYay and the BDA and about how certain characters make me crazy. The rest of the family just roll their eyes and laugh at us. And yes, we are grown women. Middle-aged, even. But really, watching Smallville with my sister was one of the highlights of my week all last year, and I've missed it this season.

No deep commentary on this episode. I just enjoyed it. It generally made me laugh and scream and beat on the table. I don't know if I'll comment on this one at the WB site. It was way too gay for me to avoid mentioning it. I was able to avoid The Gay last week (although I think I pulled something avoiding it). But this week? Can't do it. So, here's what I thought:

Bart, talking about Lex: "You can't get that rich from playing it straight."

Cracked. Me. Up.

I thought, "Okay, now they're just fucking with us."

This episode was even gayer than last week. I didn't think that was possible.

Loved all the Clark/Lex scenes and the smoldering stares between Clark and Lex AND between Clark and Bart.

"If you can catch me, I might stay." HOLY SHIT!

Kick-ass Lex makes me hot. That was a scene for screaming and applauding.

Loved the Bart/Chloe interaction. So funny.

It was great to see Martha and Jonathan being all cuddly.

I didn't hate the Lana/Jason scene in the cave. I'm disappointed that I didn't hate it. I feel like I've developed a character flaw.

The Lana/Martha scene? Should have been Lex and Martha. Lana should stay on her own separate show with Jason and leave the rest of the cast alone.

Also? I am completely freaked out by the scenes from next week. I'm not sure if I'll be able to stand it. I just keep thinking, "NOOOOO! It should be Lex, not Lionel! Eeewwww!

I'll just have to wait and see if I'm permanently damaged by it, I guess.

Well, last week did have the group sex in the locker room thing. Oh wait, I think that was just in my head. ;)

Really, last week was group gayer, this week was twosome gayer, with Clark having two boyfriends now. More of an intense, one-on-one gayness.

Last week was makeup sex gay, this week was angry sex gay.

And practically-pedophile Clark gay.

Clark must have enjoyed the change in roles, from being a boytoy to having a boytoy.

You're right. It's hard to say which ep was gayer. I love my big gay show!

Re the Lionel thing, I've been freaking out at just the hints of it for a couple of weeks. I've been trying to avoid spoilers, but I saw this bit on K-site where they said that the MB, in Clark's body, checks out Clark Junior and looks very impressed. I so, so hope they've missed the mark on that one. I don't know if I can stand it. I'll be taping the show next week because of work, so I'll ask my sister if that happens before I watch it. If it does, I may have to FF through it. Or just scream real loud.

The only thing I'm kind of looking forward to is the interaction between Lex and the MB in Clark's body. That should be creepily interesting!

What is really creeping me out about the whole thing is the thought of a teenage boy suddenly finding himself in the very vulnerable body of a dying, elderly man on murderers row. I don't know how the PTBs are going to handle that. [sarcasm]Of course, they usually have impeccable taste in these things.[/sarcasm]

Well, we'll find out in four days! *hugs dogpoet for emotional support during this difficult fangirl time*

Do you remember in... Prodigal? There's this scene where the MB is playing the piano and Lex comes in and caresses the piano. Do you remember this? Anyway, I TOTALLY think that scene supports the theory that the MB sexually abused Lex in some way. The interaction totally freaks me out. Seriously.

You're not going to believe this, but I haven't seen Prodigal yet. *hangs head in shame* I didn't come to the show until the beginning of season three. I have the S1 and S2 dvd sets, and I've watched all of S1 but only part of S2. I want to watch them in order, so I have nine episodes before I get to Prodigal. Dang! I've read all the recaps at TWoP, so I know the the plots and some of the action, but you have to really see bits of business like that. I'll keep an eye out for it when I get to that ep.

Lionel is a bad, bad man. But highly entertaining as a villain. I remember reading a little backstage bit somewhere in which a director is rumored to have told JG that Lionel shouldn't look at his son as if he wants to fuck him. JG reportedly said, "Why not?" So, I'm thinking this subtextual incest dynamic might be something that JG and MR came up with themselves.

I know there's all kinds of Luthorcest fic out there. I can't read it. *shudder* Luthorcest, non-con, that sort thing ain't my thing. Give me clean, wholesome Clex sex, please. :)

JG is a great actor, and I think he really GETS that Lionel totally WOULD look at Lex that way.

But I'm with you. I CAN'T read luthorcest. I can handle a tiny bit of Lex with chintzy girlfriends, but BARELY. Lex with male hookers is tolerable. But there's nothing like the clex.

I was going to post something here, but I'm emailing you instead.
