I haven't read any other reviews yet, so this might be a little butchered. and chaotic.



I'm absolutely not sure how I feel about last nights ep.
I'm weireded out in a way, cos nothing makes sense to me.

Mayb it's because I'm spoilerfree now that I miss stuff. Frankly, t's also greatly, next to me diploma, diminished my interaction in fandom, which makes me very sad.

Anyways I thought Alicia wouldn't return and I found myself happy that they just didn't drop the storyline like I thought she did. But Alicia is really fucked up.I liked the way she showed Chloe Clark's secret, but she also said she'd never tell, that she'd protect it. It was a promise and she broke that. However, I'm glad Clark didn't give up on her.

I don't get why Momma Teague wants to break them apart, or does she know about lex's involvement in the *myth* and just wants to play him?

That said, I like that Lex is playing her too and teaming up with Jason. Btw, what is MR's buisnes with calling Jensen, that Jensen guy. aybe it's a joke?

Anyways, Clark needs to let go of that anger, because really..he cannot be superman like this. I was really scared when he started throttling the guy. I would have expected him to be revolted over that, over this use of his own strength. And i#m not sure i like this side of him in regard to his developement. Yes, he wanted revenge, he was deeply sad and angry, but he's also a superembowered alien. And in that loft scene.. I was expecting him to say, he almost killed him, and that he was scared of his own strength, but he only talked about alicia. does this mean he is a vigilante right now?

I understand he was pissed and sad and angry at himself, and at ALL the people who made him doubt Alicia, because although he told said he trusts her to every person challeging him, the doubt still seeped through more and more. and I fear that this breaking point will happen through Lex's downfall. No, that's actually not right, I want it to be by Lex getting evil and Clark realizing what's he's done and growing at that.

It was obvious right away that sand-guy, boring mutant, was the killer and not alicia, I think it might have been cooler if we doubted her too. Just a little bit. And I juist didn't get his reasoning. not at all. Can someone explain why he tried to kill Lana and Jason???

Lana freaked me out.I think she should trust clarks judgement buy now, but she *doesn't wanna see him*.

I liked the way Chloe finding out about Clark's abilities was bein handeled. I'm not satisfied with it emotionally though. Let my explain. I think, from a story-telling idea it was a really good move. Chloe knows, but doesn't tell clark. Clark will never ever tell her, especially in light of what happened to Alicia, I think. Therefor, although he is not alone, he will always be. And Chloe is going to bereally frustrated with this knowledge. she might either be extremely tempted or sad becasue she doesn't confide. I think it's interesting how she sees her wall of weird in connection to finding out, that she puts it all into perspective. But it's sad, cos clark will never really tell. He's so alone and so alienated at that point. He saw how everyone treated Alicia. He misses her. she knew.

And there's this thing that greatly pisses me off. It's the... THEY KNOW CLATKS SECRET buisness!!! Fact is THEY. DON'T. They only THINK they do, but in reality they have no idea about the impact of that secret.

Oh...and what really really pisses me in retrospect? and I didn't notice this while watching, cos I enjoyed watching mostly. In scare, Clark sort of sees Lex's good side. He realizes that Lex isn't really after his secrets anymore, or maybe that he doesn't need them, or already kows, or whatever, and I expected them to have a clean start. They did have one before. So was it just laziness that made them disregard that in the last two eps? Was it that there wasn't enough time? cos really, I would have expected Lex to be interested in the Clarks relationship with alicia, to at least talk to him about it. Or the other way around, for Clark to seek out Lex's guidance. It's like they are just far away aqaintances and that pisses me. I want to see something bad.

And more Lex please. This is ridiculous.


I know this might have been confusing for some and I'm sorry for that.

Actually, this review makes perfect sense. Because the episode was exactly that jumbled and confusing.

Ya know, after reading reviews, spoilers etc, I'm not too sure if I can be bothered downloading eps. I think I'll just go read Lanning's series for the Nth time.

The only reason Tim was so morally opposed to Lana and Jason and wanted to kill them was because they dated as teacher/student. I don't get it. I mean, sure, there are rules against that but... worth killing over?? I don't think so.

Unfortunately, the lack of Lex continues in the next episode as well. I'm wondering if he'll be down to 2 minutes, instead of 3. Poor MR.

that's the reason he tried to kill Lana and Jason? That's so lame. god..I was giving them way too much credit. bah-

I even have a problem with lex scenes right now because lex means lionel and that storyline pisses me. and if he is truly good I'm gonna puke. not giving up hope though.

I cannot stand the lack of Lex, it makes the episodes so ... boring, to say the least. It's even worse that there is very little (if any) Clark/Lex interaction anymore [sigh] Stupid show [kicks it] :(
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on February 5th, 2005 09:22 pm (UTC)
I'm not bored..that's not my problem..it pisses me off.
that's worse right?

the only thing that bores me again, and it didn't bore me for 5 eps or what, is Lana. Can't she move away???

but yeah..no lex and no clex equals yack.
[identity profile] by-crikey.livejournal.com on February 6th, 2005 09:51 pm (UTC)
Yeah, Lana does really have the market cornered when it comes to boredom ;) She really should move away. Or maybe Smallville could explore the concept of spontaneous (sp?) human combustian with her character [scratches chin] that would be cool ;) And the show pisses me off too so I understand how you feel :) I guess what I meant by "boring" is that the episodes seem to empty without Lex, he's always been so essential before [sigh] and I'm really missing the Clex.
