xparrotFirstly, there was Supernatural 2x20 breaking our hearts. Oh, Dean. You're a pathetic alcoholic prom-date-stealing asshole in your dream world, but that's okay, because your mom is alive and your brother is happy. Also, it's saying something for this show that though Dean has been my favorite from the beginning, I was twitching from the lack of Sammy. It's both or nothing, with these boys...
And when everyone is advancing on Dean at the end, Jessica stands alone, while Dean's random girlfriend is just behind Sammy - Dean met Jessica only once but she's still that important to him, because she's that important to Sam. ...Even if that meant, darn it, he was hugging her instead of Sam. You are playing with us, show. This hug we're all on tenterhooks for better be worth it.
Then, Smallville 6x20, which should have come with a surgeon general's warning, because everyone was smokin'. Literally, in some cases. Lex in particular. Wowza. (I cannot stand the smell of cigarettes. Fortunately, on TV, I don't have to smell them. And anything that gets MR's hands near MR's mouth is a force of good in the name of the sexy.) And Clark in glasses is fantastic and gorgeous. And Lana is evil! And Lex is wearing a hat! And is with Lois! (yays for Lexis, and for Lois period! Have missed her!) (And then Lex is...dead. Oh, Lex. Even in random dream sequences you're still a pathetic loser who gets out-eviled by everyone around you. Sigh. In my mind, naturally, noir!Lex&Clark are running a sting operation together and Lex's death was faked...)
The non-noir portions weren't nearly as fun, mainly because Lana didn't actually get shot by Clark and die. Pity, that.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gnine is also frothing at the about-face of Chloe saying that Lex couldn't have hurt Lana because he luuuurves her, when in "Progeny" two episodes before she was agreeing when Clark said Lex would throw Lana to the wolves. Not to mention the discrepancy about Lana's terrible "loveless marriage" in which apparently even Chloe believes that Lex does love her, so the love is only lacking on Lana's part. Dear Show, I am so baffled. I thought we're supposed to hate Lex for playing evil baby-faking mindgames. So why are you making us feel sorry for him for being in love with a woman who is plotting against him, for the love of another man? Whose side are we supposed to be on? Throw us a bone, please! --Konfused in Kansas
Has anyone noticed that Lionel's evilosity is inversely proportional to the length of his hair? His mane was remarkably tame here, when he's supposedly going good (I am confused as to how Lionel could possibly be seen as 'good' by any definition, but that's a matter to be taken up with the spoilers). In 4th season, he gets his head shaved and goes totally good for a time, then as it grows back, so does the darkness in his heart. So what does this say about Lex, hmm?

Re: Woops!
Date: 2007-05-05 03:11 am (UTC)Actually, spoilers indicate that the writers might now want us to think Lionel has gone good! Will have to see how that turns out because, um, yeah. No. Flippin'. Way. No good man turns so completely on his own son...
BTW, in Nemesis, when Chloe said Lex should die for what he did to Chloe's mom, what did she mean? Anyone know? Was she blaming Lex for her mom's illness? For her mom trying to make her murder Lex? For the fact that the experimental drug didn't work permanently?
This is an excellent question, I've been trying to figure it out myself! Moira was the greater evil in "Progeny"...Lex might've done a few not-so-nice things, but he was quite the lesser. Of course Moira is insane...(I have this mental image that Moira comes out of the coma years from now, sanity restores, and goes and thanks Lex for not letting her wreak havok before...)
