another Thursday, another dose of S

xparrotScrubs is batting two for two. Hysterical to heart-touching in zero point five seconds. Cox/Jordan is one of my very favorite het pairs ever. Just, aww. In their own special ex-spouses way. Also the football group guy-lie slayed me.
Supernatural "Heart" was...well, first of all, it was crossover central. SG-1's Dr. Frasier didn't actually die, she moved to San Francisco and became a mortician! And Lex's not-so-dearly departed ex-wife Helen, oh we did wonder about her - she in fact survived jumping out of the plane, also moved to San Fran, became a...an executive assistant, and got it on with a junior ghostbuster!
Speaking of which, I am calling for a new law to be passed. Specifically the Jared Padalecki Enforced Barechestedness Act, which would make it illegal for Sam Winchester to wear a shirt. Covering up that body? Ought to be a felony. Yow. Holy guacamole. Bringing it out only once a season is not fair!
One issue I had with the episode (fully accepting that this is SPN and I have no right to expect the plot to make sense, and I promise not to harp too much on you, dear show, because you will always and forever deliver us the angst - if not the hugs - but still): umm. So killing her was dramatic and all, and oh Dean your heart breaking for your brother will never stop being pretty. And I get that she doesn't want to become anymore of a murderer, and I actually liked her char well enough; the BotWs in SPN alway feel like people to me, even if they are babes. (And besides, after what she did to Lex? She totally had it coming to her.)
But...in mid-lunar cycle, she managed to make it at least one night without turning. Shouldn't they at least try to investigate why? Before shooting her? Umm? Anyone? Because if she just needs to stay awake at night to avoid freaking out and killing people - then bring on the espressos and leave the silver bullet chambered.
And last but not least, Smallville "Combat". Was so very terrifically much better than last week's. Considering it was a pro-fighting/wrestling ep, I should not be saying this. But seriously. Tom Welling looking gorgeous in black leather, getting artfully bloodied by a super-powered bruiser for like 10 minutes? They could have had this be the whole ep - heck, the whole show, and dude, I would so watch. Especially if you made the bald guy he was fighting Lex! Also in black leather! --Oh wait, they have. Hee. Hey, there's a reason I liked "Zod" (even if that battle is far too short. The fight choreography on this show...rather sucks. Either that or I'm spoiled by too much shounen.)
The thing with the baby did make me wonder. I've been assuming for the last few eps that the pregnancy was totally faked, that Lex was drugging Lana to make her think she was knocked up to shotgun her to the altar. But Lex seemed...surprised by this turn of events. Maybe; it was hard to tell. If the baby was real, if he was using her to incubate some kind of clone (I vote for Bizarro!Clark!) or genetically designed mutant or the like - it would recover "Promise" for me a bit, because Lex would have ulterior motives for wanting Lana. His "desperation" might not have been over winning her hand at all, but for what's in her womb. He even might have been playing Lionel, to make sure he didn't lose her, or more specifically what was in her.
...Yeah, probably not. But I live in hope that somehow that ep can be redeemed.
Oliver is kind of ticking me off (though sorry,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jakrar, not to homicidal levels yet...) For one thing, we still haven't seen what the hell they're really doing in 33.1. Previous projects Lex has worked on include trying to end world hunger and designing a vaccine against most deadly viruses. One of those facilities Green Arrow and his merry men are taking down might have the cure for cancer. If they would just provide solid evidence that 33.1 is as evil as the alt rock and spooky lighting implies, then I might get on board with them, but for now I'm inclined to side with Lex.
The other problem is that these terrorist tactics are not only unbecoming to a young superhero, they're stupid. Oliver has Queen Industries, which seems to be, if not as powerful as LuthorCorp, then pretty close. If Ollie was serious about taking down Lex, he should be going for a corporate takeover, hitting 33.1 where any massive organization hurts - the bankbook. But he's having more fun blowing stuff up. Juvenile. Poor Lex. I feel for him, having to deal with these pesky kids when he's trying to save the world.
Meanwhile. Clark! You killed a guy by sort-of accident! Lex just killed a guy by sort-of accident! You're made for each other! Why are you not making out on my screen every week? Damn it. You know, occasionally I think I'm watching the wrong show...(If only I could figure out how to download the torrents for Luthorville...)

Date: 2007-03-24 10:39 pm (UTC)Phew. Now that I've got that off my chest -
YESS! Let's enforce the JPEBA now! I was screaming at the camera to pan out, and get rid of that annoying thing that kept getting in the way of that chest. That wonderful, wonderful, gorgeous... mmmmm~. Sorry, what was I saying? The man is built like a god - we should get to enjoy it more often! Yes.
And also AWWWW, Dean crying the single tear, and the BASTARDS, using Silent Lucidity, which can make me cry even without angsty scenes in the background. (Seriously, I've loved that song for years, and it gets to me like few other things do...) Aww. Sammy. Aww, LACK OF HUG WHERE IS THE HUG GIMME HUG HUG HUG HUG!!!
Oh, and - hey, wouldn't it be cool if this was an angst-demon plot? Not that I'm thinking it is, but if it was softening Sam up to be more receptive to guilt later on...? I'd like that! Maddy coming back, asking why Sam killed her? That'd be neat!
Now, GIMME THE HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
*snuggles*
(Will watch Scrubs later.)

Date: 2007-03-25 06:57 am (UTC)JPEBA!! OH yes. There was not a good enough angle on that! yergh! darn it! not fair!!
"Silent Lucidity"? Hmmm, don't know the song. Did like the sound of it, but...
Don't think it was ol' yellow eyes' plot, but that's not saying he couldn't bring Maddy back, at leaasat in a vision...doesn't have to be his plot to use circumstances to his devious advantage!
And huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug. Please. That is all.

Date: 2007-03-25 10:37 am (UTC)Yeah, no, it's not a plot by ol' yellow eyes, but what about the other demons? The crossroad demon was demon first, and then started taunting Dean - what about being all human first (Meg passed, didn't she? but then the audience knew, so...), and then showing up as a vengeful demon? It'd be fun! That's all I'm saying. I don't think they'd do that, because the episode ended on BAM, not on something more sinister, and there was no hint of blackeye-itis, but. It'd totally save the failing logic for me! (Because she's an evil demon and her having Sam kill her was a good way of breaking his spirit!)
Ohh, must bring you some Queensrÿche, then! They're one of my favourite bands, and Silent Lucidity is one of my favourite songs ever. (Except it's a happy song! It's on the C part of H/C, which, I have to say, SPN isn't very good at getting to...)
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
See now why I was going "OH DEMON PLOT NOT REAL! :D"?
And also, later in the song...
I - will be watching over you
I - am gonna help you see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you...
This would make a great Winchester H/C song!
...must upload it now.

Date: 2007-03-25 10:49 am (UTC)And the full lyrics:
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked tou to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over...or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it, and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, trace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimenison
I - will be watching over you
I - am gonna help you see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you...in Silent Lucidity
If you open your mind to me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I - will be watching over you
I - am gonna help you see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you...
Enjoy! ♥

Date: 2007-04-02 11:03 am (UTC)Anyway! Umm, are these lyrics supposed to be a little creepy or is it me? Which is really the dream? because it sort of sounds like it's saying that it's mostly about living in a dream world? Your dream is over...or has it just begun? Isn't it like a ghost watching over someone? or... ^^;
(rats, I want new SPN! don't wanna waaaait!)
