sesquipedaliatic3 more eps down
Ep 9, "Rogue"
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Clark: *looks at battle armor with an s-shaped snake on the front*
Lex: You know, it belonged to Alexander the Great.
Clark: I can't exactly see myself going into battle with that on my chest.
That makes two nods to the Superman s, yeah? The first when Clark unwillingly plays scarecrow, and now this. (Tangent: that shot of him strung up with the necklace around his neck is FANTASTIC.)
Also, do we ever get to see Lex being properly honest? I mean, I'm loving him do everything but tell the truth, but I'd like to see him tell the truthabout his feeeeeellings
That's all I have to say. Dirty cop plotlines don't rock my world, and this one made me uncomfortable (not because it's particularly bad so much as I didn't enjoy it).
Ep 10, "Shimmer"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
LEX JUST GRABBED CLARK FOR SHELTERAND ALSO FOR GROPAGE WHEN THE DOOR BLEW OPEN. OMG. There was no "I'm protecting him" or "he's in the way." That was FULL ON "Hold me!"
I spent much of that scene wondering why Lex was wearing a heavily startched white shirt. It wasn't bad, just didn't have the softness or flair of anything else he's worn. And then they walked into a room with a blacklight. THAT'S why he was wearing that shirt!
I don't love Lana Lang, but she's grown on the me last few eps. I'm keeping my mind open.
Lana: That's the thing about Clark Kent. He's not always there when you want him, but he's always there when you need him.
Alina: LIKE THE TARDIS. DAWWWWWWW.
Aaand here's Lex being honest! Thanks, show, for answering my requests.
Question: do we know the story of Mommy Luthor's death? Other than that she died when Lex was young, had surgery of some sort, was on heart medication, and was sick for a while. I feel like I might have missed a salient conversation.
Smallville: Our sunsets are painted on. As are our moonscapes.
Heeeey, more Lex getting beat up! Aaaaand more honesty! This time fear, but it's genuine, unplanned (for the given actor's value of "unplanned) emotion! And Clark swans in to save Lex again. This ep, with bonus saving of Lex's not-girlfriend from drowning! MAJOR points to Lex for the "that kind of love would get me arrested; she's a little young for me" line.
Ep 11, "Hug"
I've been reliably informed (thanks serrico!) that this ep is especially good, so I think it's time for a proper liveblog. ETA: Nevermind. I'm a doof and can't read episode titles. Thought this was "Hourglass" when it's actually "Hug." Have liveblogged anyway.
Fine, upstanding Environmentalist!
Oop, nevermind. He's totally going out that giant window.
Oh, what a shock.
*is unimpressed*
Michael Rosembaum, that facial reaction to "Luthor mentioned he'd exiled you out here" was MAGNIFICENT.
"Why are you so unfriendly?" Nice tact, Clark.
"They'll [friends] always betray you in the end." Wooooohoooo foreshadowing! Sometimes this show is just so subtle!
Oh man, Whitney. I was juuust starting to like you. Way to ruin that, ass.
Nope. Nevermind. Whatever pitty I had fore you is GONE GONE GONE.
Also, I kinda really like Tippet. Tippit? Kyle.
Whoa. What is this graphic? I feel like I'm watching CSI!
Oh Lex. Referencing Mockingbird? STOP DOING THINGS TO MAKE ME <3 YOU.
OH PLEASE LEX. Please tell us the long story that introduced you andBill Bailey this doctor! Knife stabbing?
Awww, "you're the only one I could trust."
OH NOES! Brain Controlled Lex would be BAD NEWS BEARS. *is braced*
... For nothing, apparently.
AHAHAHA! Handshake win, Clark. Handshake win.
WHAT!? Does EVERYONE meddle in poor Clark's love life?
OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO!
I've got a bad feeling about this!
I'm fairly sure I'm supposed to think that Lex agreed--
Nevermind, showering the car in fuel is a pretty clear indicator. Again with the not subtle.
Lex. I almost forgive you for trying to blow up the car because the delivery of "Clark, I think you have some explaining to do" was CHOICE.
DUDE! Michael Rosenbaum! Your body is all loose, you move differently! You've even changed your voice just a leeetle bit! I love it!
Less fond of the bullet dance Clark is doing, but that's ok.
First Clark v. Lex physical conflict, yeah? Even if Lex doesn't remember. Does he?
Clark: It's still strange to think he and Rickman were once best friends. Think we'll ever end up like that?
Alina: OH GOD THE FORSHADOWING.
Lex: Trust me, Clark. Our friendship is gonna be the stuff of legend.
Alina: *DIES*

Date: 2011-05-28 07:50 am (UTC)You know how I said that Clark saving Lex's life happens a lot? Frequent handsiness of dubious necessity is also a thing that happens a lot with these two. :D
Lana: That's the thing about Clark Kent. He's not always there when you want him, but he's always there when you need him.
Alina: LIKE THE TARDIS.
Difference: Clark is bigger on the *outside*. (He is tall and can reach high shelves! And is a vast cavern of empty brainspace inside!)
You have not missed anything about Lex's mom's death. More info on that is still to come.
Lex: Trust me, Clark. Our friendship is gonna be the stuff of legend.
SV'S MIGHTIEST CHEESE ANVIL YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! (Remember this moment! It will be important later! And not the way you're thinking! *g*)
OH HEY you're rapidly approaching 'Zero'! :D!
