sesquipedaliaticI'm home now from finishing 2 shows (of the it's-my-day-job variety, not the I-watch-on-teevee variety) and have fortified myself with leftover Chinese food (mmmmm, broccoli!) and mint chocolate chip ice cream. It's time to start season 2!
(Broccoli and ice cream is a totally acceptable post-show snack, yeah?)
Well, the preview's off to a good start, as it gave me Lex yelling "cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" again.
Why hallo thar, spaceship! Ahh, Octagon of Doom is actually the key! This tornado effect is both ridiculous and awesome.
Question time! What this intro scene filmed at the same time that the last ep of season 1 was filmed? Or did some poor sod have a SHIT TON of continuity work?
Was that intro credit or John Glover new? Or have I not been paying attention.
For a brief moment, I almost didn't hate Daddy Luthor, thanks to the way Lex was talking to/about him.
I don't think it was weakness, Lex! I think the fact that you hesitated and then acted makes you a more well developed and interesting character! ETA: in post-ep retrospect, this scene is even more well played given the whole blindness thing.
Ooooh man. I really don't want Daddy Kent to kill STUPID HEAD NIXON because of the emotional and narrative fallout it'll cause. But.
Yeah, Lex, you deserved that. You SHOULD feel guilty.
Wow. This tornado plot is hitting closer to home than I expected. Tangent: I had to put Supernatural on hold because I am a wimp and EVERYTHING scares me. I had no problems with aaaanything in Smallville (what with the lack of horror and gore) until the tornado in "Tempest." Which (likely helped along by the tornadoes in Mass. yesterday) gave me nightmares last night.
Clark Kent: A lying lier who lies. "I found you in a field, Lana!"
Wait, hang on. If that was Nixon's car, where did the blood come from? ETA: Only after skimming this for typos did my brain catch up. It was oil, not blood that dripped from the car onto Lex and made him look up. Way to totally miss the point of that scene, self.
Awww, shit. Meteor rocks.
Awww, Mommy Kent! I <3 her. And I really like that she can have a comfortable (tragedy aside) conversation with Lana.
Awww, Chloe. Less makeup! (I mean, more making up and adorable kisses with Clark. But less foundation and eye liner.) I still want to give you hugsand maybe kisses, though.
Hey look! This line doesn't start with "awww!"
I love that Mommy Kent ran interference with Pete so Clark could run SOOOOOPER fast.
Yup. AAAAANYTIME anybody wants--
Ah, that's the Nixon facesmashing I was looking for.
Oh thank god he's dead.
I mean, I'm glad Lex did the killing, too, but GAAAA Nixon drove me mad.
Or maybe BOTH OF THEM ARE TELLING THE TRUTH!
I LOVE the acting choice there! Well done, Rosenbaum. A brief moment of TOTAL confusion that Mr. Kent was actually thanking him. Poor man, he doesn't know what to do with honest, deserved thanks!
AHAHAHAH CLARK FLEW!
HOLY SHIT. BRILLIANT narrative choice there, writers!! Blind Daddy Luthor, so blinded because Lex chose action over inaction. Woof. So many layers of conflict and guilt and.... *happy flails*
Aaand here begins the chapter of Alina Headdesking Over Secrets! I'll try not to say this too much, but just to get it out of my system: JUST FUCKING TELL LANA ALREADY!
I suspect this'll be the last ep for a few days, as my wee (well, comparatively wee) sister is visiting for the weekend (GAAA HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS FOR SO LONG) and there are lots of sights we much check out. Sites like the cheese shop. And the ice cream stand. And the library. And... the post office? Ahh, tiny town.
