thursday S-tv roundup

[xparrot]

Non-spoilers: Scrubs just felt good and comfortable and like a regular ep; the last couple have been inhaling from the crack-pipe a bit but this one had the right balance of LOLs and aww.

SPN "Roadkill" also made me aww, in a 'oh, show, you're so cute when you're being obvious' way. (They gotta watch those 'previouslys,' they keep giving stuff away...) Also I <3 Tricia Helfer, though I love her more when she's bleached and crazy-hot with Baltar.

And then there was Smallville "Promise." ARGH. Okay, here's the thing. I don't mind Lex being evil. I've got a lot (lot...lot...) more to say about his possible motivations, and how I really don't think the SV Lex is the villain at all. But honestly? I like evil. It's cool. It's hawt.

I don't mind Lex being evil. I mind him being pathetic. And stupid.

SV writers? This is Lex flippin' Luthor. Like, the smartest and most ruthless man in the world. He is totally gonna pwn your punk asses for character assassination.

gnine, meanwhile, is still frothing with anger at Chloe for being the Worst Best Friend in the Universe. Standing by your bride is one thing for the maid of honor, but you honestly think your best friend is "marrying a pathetic git monster"? And you're gonna wait for Clark to do something and not say a word to your friend yourself? Uh, no. That's not a job for a superhero. That's a job for a best friend.

Is that pregnancy totally faked or is it just us? Because that would be kind of awesome. Playing the babycard is traditionally the woman's way to shotgun a wedding, hysterical if Lex has flipped that on its ear.

All I can say is, I hope Lana is proved to have magic meteor love powers. Because that would explain everything about Lex that we've failed to explain. And then Clark can comfort him through pangs of Lana-withdrawal! With lots & lots of sex!

Oh well. At least Lionel is still scary sociopathic manipulative obsessively paternal eeeeevol love.

ETA: Is Lionel watching & then erasing all the video Lex's hidden cameras around the mansion should be catching? It would explain how he knew about Lana finding out about Clark. Also would explain why Lex wouldn't have that on film later...be an interesting wedding montage. "Oh, there's my one-time best man, ripping a door off its hinges..."

ETA2: I take back everything I said about Lex. This is what really is going on!

someone said when Lex finally kills Lionel he should be standing over his father going, "Who's good at murder now?"

Oh, that would ROCK! *squees wildly at the thought*
