SV, 5x09: Lexmas

[elli]

OMG!!!!!!!

I don't believe one episode can redeem an entire TV show, but this came pretty damn close.
I didn't get into it expecting too much. Cos quite honestly... Lana.

But alas..I liked Lana in this... especially the first few scenes with Lex waking up and....
Well, this is one of KKs bst performances, I kid you not.

I wish she had this much chemistry with TW.

Anyways... that said... Michael Rosenbaum is god! acting god. He was so damn good, you could tell how much he enjoyed it.

Although the I love you freaked me out a bit. This was so perfect. MR.. you rock. Majorly.

It was all so good... the waking up- the tree dragging, the party..the Lana dying scene.

Fuck, I can totally get behind Lexes reasoning in the end. It isn't even about Lana. but it makes sense that, to get security you need capital today. And when you have that, you can do anything. The thing is, how much do you have to sacrifice of yourself to get there.

This has, by no means restorned my faith in the writers. Cos honestly, there was some pretty shabby stuff in recent eps even though this season was pretty good. Especially the Lois going after Lex thing and the Chloe not mentioning that Lex being in Belle Reve had not been his fault at all. Pissed me off quite a bit.

B story? There was a b-story?

Anyways, I cannot wait to see how this will continue. And I gather it will be really painful, too. But it IS the fandom of pain after all.

I actually fastforwarded parts. ;)

because omg.. MR!!!!!! I think I actually like him better in realistic roles than in comedy. my MR love hasn't been that great in some time.

Wasn't it a good ep? I thought KK did a really good job. The only place she got tripped up was expositioning about Lex's gift from Luthorcorp. And MR totally rocked this ep. He is so amazing.

She surprised me totally! I mean, she was never this good.

MR made her shine. And I do think she does happy best.

MR was perfetto. So so good.

I watched it through for the second time today, and it only improved on a re-watch! I'm glad we had one last chance to see what a happy Lex would be like, and decent scenes with Clark, even if it was a fantasy.

Funny how TW and KK just don't have a spark. Too bad TPTB have tried to push that relationship for so long when it's not workin'.

I won't, however, forgive the writers OR the "real" Kents and their friends for not even mentioning Lex once in this episode.

And, yeah, IMO, the B-plot wouldn't have been missed! even if Clark did look cute in his Santa hat.

Exactly. It was completely lame in comparison!

It IS kinda sad that it now REALLY will go downhill. I'm so gonna break.

And unfortunately, all the kids watching the show want the clana. Spark or no spark. It is just sad.

And yes, they should have KNOWN what happend to Lex. They should have inquired how he is. That pissed me off a bit too.

Yup! It IS the fandom of pain. But it's great to have the ups with the downs and this ep was a real emotional roller coaster.

LOL at: B story? there was a b-story?!

[elli.livejournal.com]

It WAS. It almost had Shattered proportions.

*sniff*

And I do not remember a b-story either.

I really liked the episode too. MR really is an acting god. How can he be so good.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Really...he should share his talent..with us. *g*

He needs to do loads of movies.
