jinx

 
  • I'm getting kind of bored by the football thing.
  • It's idiot boy from The West Wing, with yet another comedy accent.
  • Do they have 'Wheel Of Fortune' in Eastern Europe?
  • If Betfred does in-running odds, he should be able to
  • She never bets against Clark doing what?
  • Jonathan's absolutely determined not to enjoy these games isn't he?
  • The other team are far more stylish than the Smallville team
  • I swear there's been a guy in the stand at Leicester doing that for the past few years. It would explain so much
  • Martha doesn't seem overly concerned about the guy who was just headbutted by the Man of Steel.
  • Oooh, we haven't seen that blue sweater in years. I'm sorry, I'm becoming oddly obsessed with knitwear this season
  • Shouldn't Jason have considered this beforehand?
  • Throwing bales of hay must be far more difficult than throwing footballs
  • They think steroids increase your head-butting ability?
  • Lionel pays for foreign teenaged boys to enter the country?
  • Some people just don't test well
  • Shouldn't Lex have someone to do that for him?
  • Lex has no idea how to cut a lime. What's he cutting a lime for anyway, I never had him down as a gin drinker
  • That was going to happen whether Mikhail told him to or not
  • Illegal bookies don't usually have hours, and they always make house calls since they can't exactly have an office
  • Don't fall for it Chloe.
  • Given the amount of money Lex has wasted on Little Miss No Potential, you'd think he would've offered to pay Chloe's college fees. Especially since them having no money is something he's just a little bit responsible for
  • Clark is actually getting more immature with each episode.
  • This is one of those things on which I'm forced to agree with Jonathan Kent. I don't like it.
  • Of all the possible superpowers in the world, having the ability not to fall over comically in public is incredibly under-rated
  • The footballers are worryingly interested in jewellery
  • Cake!
  • How much did she win? There's a limit to the kind of odds you can get on a two team game
  • And she's been on a couch with Clark. I'm not allowed to sit on couches during sporting events in case I get over-excited and fall off.
  • Just occasionally Smallville does something really disturbing in the middle of a straightforward episode. Clark turning to self-harm is one of them.
  • Normal people can't throw straight when they're sick and in pain either, and they can still hurt people as well
  • Chloe shouldn't be so forgiving.
  • There's more than one illegal bookie in the school?
  • Oooh! A subtle comic reference I understand (if anyone else would like to know, you destroy Mxyzptlk by saying his name backwards)! Google never gives me helpful suggestions like that
  • Surely you'd change your name to something easier to spell
  • Lex is similar to a plague of locusts?
  • Lex is playing really awful pool today
  • Clark seriously expects Lex to deport him without giving a proper explanation.
  • Why would it be more complicated?
  • I still don't see why his feelings for Lana make reporting illegal activities to the Principal more difficult
  • So, not only is Jason dating a student, he's also passing on confidential information. I can't believe he told her that!
  • Of course he's responsible for his students
  • I need to watch the previous episodes again, is it actually Clark who knows, and not just Lionel?
  • Lex is so easy
  • Hasn't Lex worked that out yet?
  • Like Lex can refuse betting on Clark Kent.
  • I'm not sure Clark is listening, what with the lack of oxygen and all.
  • Has she tried e-bay?
  • I like the idea of a locust pile-up
  • Why hasn't Clark turned the light on?
  • Where's the rest of the team?
  • This would be a very affecting scene if Clark was doing anything but getting ready for a game of American Football.
  • None of those players were in the changing room when Clark was there.
  • Clark should check which father Jonathan actually meant. I'm not sure that comparing him to either of them was particularly complimentary
  • That was a very sweet scene.
  • If Chloe's in the PA control room, where's the announcer sitting? And why is he still being broadcast?
  • Does the shouting in the middle mean anything? It's code for where he wants people to run to so he can throw things at them.
  • Chloe should've at least closed the door.
  • They always underestimate how dangerous people can be even if they don't have superpowers
  • It's always Blue 32.
  • Clark's taking a big chance there, considering the sports editor records every game
  • Martha is a little over emotional about a High School football game.
  • How long is a High School football season? Clark's only been playing for six weeks
  • Jonathan is taking a tray of condiments to bed with him.
  • He's probably not supposed to steal them though.
  • Well, that's Chloe having worked it out.
  • Ooooh, what's Lex up to? Wow... That's incredibly sinister and intriguing, even for Lex. Has he broken some of the other mutants out of Belle Reve?
  • Hands up anyone who cares.
  • He dated a student, lied about a drugs test and divulged confidential information to his girlfriend! Of course he was fired!
  • It looks like pissy!Lex is here to stay. And about time too.
  • Is Clark Kent actually lecturing Lex about confidentiality?
  • If two people as amazingly oblivious as Clark and Lex have figured it out, then it wasn't going to stay secret for all that long
  • Lex doesn't really have a reason. He just does these things sometimes.
 

spell

 
  • France 1604. Oh dear, this does not bode well. It’s like a Highlander flashback.
  • Oh, good grief, I'm watching 'Charmed'
  • "We will rise again..." I can't believe I'm hearing this. I think it’s the falling now bit that’s worrying Isabelle’s minions.
  • Smallville has an hysterically funny view of the French.
  • The Frenchman is called Wilkins? Did I hear that right? Wilkins?
  • I'm sorry, was that meant to be threatening?
  • As if being burned at the stake wasn't bad enough, it turns out your fearless leader can't even cackle properly.
  • Yeah, but they're all going to be dead, they won't really care if you take out your vengeance on someone else
  • Well, a man on e-bay has to be a reliable source for important historical documents
  • "Max out my entire credit card." I bet she hasn't had to sell the car though. Even if she is eighteen, there is no way that a credit card company would give her a card.
  • It could at least be a DVD
  • "That's kinda spooky." What, that a symbol on her tomb would also be on one of her possessions? That seems fairly logical to me. What’s not logical is that a woman who was burned at the stake would have ended up with a tomb inside a cathedral.
  • How disappointing would it be to wait four centuries and then end up awakened by Lana Lang?
  • TI They're having a dreadful continuity problem with those boxes
  • I'm quite surprised she didn't just steal a jeep
  • Do people from American Universities really go to the students? I find it unlikely that Princeton admission tutors do home visits.
  • You can't do spells in Le Creuset cookware! Why does Lana have expensive cookware anyway? Has she stolen that from the Talon?
  • There is no way that Lana is a virgin. I somehow doubt the boyfriends stuck around for the sparkling wit and conversation.
  • This is actually one of the more likely 'science projects' we've witnessed
  • Why can't Lois get her own phone.
  • I love the “Get some traction!” line.

  • God, this is just embarrassing. I've given Kristen Kreuk the benefit of the doubt over her acting abilities for a long time now, considering the material she's been given it would be hard for anyone to be impressive, but this is horrific
  • Poor Lois is going to be checking the mirror every morning for months now
  • Oil of Mushroom? She got Feet Of Lizard but she's having trouble finding hair?
  • That's a wonderfully wrapped gift. Men can't wrap presents. It's a genetic problem. And I do love his attempt to hide it with a big sticky bow. I can’t wrap presents to save my life, but my Dad is great at it. No such thing as a ‘woman’s touch’, just the touch of someone who doesn’t lose patience after three and a half seconds.
  • Lois and Clark went shopping together? No, she went shopping and charged him for half
  • How does Clark's hair get cut given that there's no Fortress yet? The Fortress cuts his hair?
  • I love the way Clark doesn't question the fact Chloe wants a scrapbook of his DNA.
  • He spent three months in Metropolis with money, cars and satin sheets. How on earth is he a virgin?
  • Lex can't play the piano. Lex has said on at least two occasions that he can't play the piano.
  • If she's looking for virgin hair, she's come to the wrong place
  • I'm not sure Lex can disapprove of underage drinking
  • Yes! Fob Lana off with cheap German wine!
  • Why does Lex keep wine in his study when he has a perfectly good cellar?
  • What happened to the security system?
  • She didn't, but you just told her.
  • I'd be so tempted to try and make MR giggle in that scene.
  • Her magic is pink! How utterly predictable
  • Did Lana steal the decanter on her way out?
  • Moonlit nature walks would have me suspicious as well.
  • This episode just got three times worse.
  • Would they have knocked it back like that?
  • "We're in Kansas... Toto"
  • They've done a fine decorating job on that barn
  • There are a lot of people at that party, considering Chloe's not all that popular
  • Why couldn't Lana turn Lex and Clark into leather clad witches?
  • You'd think people in Smallville would be more alert to the signs of possession by now
  • Well, it makes you look like a prostitute.
  • High school students have harder bodies than people who actually worked for a living?
  • Do they have a nudity quota to fill this season?
  • Oh, my, I think that Clark's dancing may be the funniest thing I've ever seen. Oh, that's not character bad dancing, that's an actor trying his best.
  • Why are they calling Clark's mobile if they know he's at home?
  • Clark is spectacularly unobservant
  • Oh, Lex...
  • Wow. Watch Jason reach a sensible conclusion with a minimum of thought. There are people who've been living here their entire lives who wouldn't have figured out the possession that quickly. Jason, Jason, if you want to fit in around Smallville you have to drop 20 IQ points.
  • There wasn't a lot of her to begin with.
  • Jason, don't anger the evil witch.
  • It's nice she took time to summon a wind machine
  • She wrote a threat in pink shiny writing... Perhaps Lana's not as buried as we thought. The pink... It hurts...
  • How does heat-vision knock things aside?
  • Perhaps he should try hurting Lana just once, he might quite like it.
  • Oooh! Chained-up!Clark... My second favourite kind. Clark looks oddly unattractive for a naked guy chained to a beam. I have to confess I am slightly disappointed too, I was expecting more from naked, chained up Clark. It's the unsightly underarm hair
  • I should probably be asking why Clark keeps chains in his barn, but I'm pretty sure I can imagine the answer
  • I think that's the cheapest special-effect I've ever seen
  • Fringedwelling brain...overloading... too many... evil witch jokes... Mayday! Mayday! I'm going down... *Kabooom!*
  • He doesn't think Clark should go to a hospital first?
  • I'm fairly sure she's further away than that
  • Where's Jor-El when you need him?
  • Did Lois just have those thigh boots in her travelling wardrobe?
  • Please tell me there are bullets in that gun. Or animal tranquilisers of some kind, that could be quite funny too
  • Get them all out of the cave!
  • Why is Lana so embarrassed? She's worn more revealing tops than that to school
  • I was ready to announce this as the worst episode of Smallville ever, and then Jonathan Kent appeared holding women's underwear. Look at the delight on Martha's face! "Clark! You undressed a *girl*!"
  • I'm not sure Martha should be allowed to describe her son getting laid as "magic"
  • "I was going to come see you... And yet, I didn't bother."
  • And Lex definitely shouldn't be allowed to say phrases like "Evil Dead action"
  • Lana's bed is a pink four-poster! How utterly predictable was that?
  • I'd have paid good money for it to have been Lex walking up those stairs then. Especially if he still had that line
  • Clark says "aggressively sexy" like it's a bad thing
  • Do they really think the evil witch storyline is helping Lana?
  • Damn it! Lex wants to know how to turn into a witch. He just wants to get in the PVC thigh-boots and the basque
 

bound

 
  • Oooh Tuxedo!Lex  *dies happy* Almost all of last week's travesty is forgiven if it means we get formal Lex as recompense
  • He’s checking his watch because he’s wondering if he’s remembered to set the video for Stargate.
  • Oh dear, she may as well have Femme Fatale tm stamped on her forehead.
  • Tall, leggy, brunette. Remind you of anyone?
  • American women just can’t stand gracefully! Put your legs together woman.
  • The red dress symbolism didn't work out so well in Schindler's List.
  • I'm surprised Lex didn't run at the sound of that music. That’s not a song, it’s just a noise. I disapprove of the music, but I do like the way they pair Lex with hardcore techno, completely unlike the hippy-drippy indie rubbish they tend to play for Clark and Lana
  • She knows *your* name, that seems to be enough.
  • That must be some of the most passionless kissing I’ve ever seen.
  • This *never* happens to me at parties. I think I missed out on the lecture that tells you how to end up in a lift with attractive men two minutes after you met them.
  • He took his bowtie off after his shirt?
  • I think someone didn’t explain “ladykiller” thoroughly enough.
  • Lex has hairy forearms. That just seems wrong
  • You'd have thought at least one of his lawyers would have bought Lex a tie
  • They should be the same thing.
  • "It wouldn't be the first time..." Poor Lex. I've written exactly the same thing...
  • “She had a pink MP3 player.” And that should have been his clue that she was evil.
  • Lex really shouldn't be commenting on other people's bedside manner at the moment.
  • "You want a hug, call your mother..." or Clark...
  • Who's *right* there. How excellent a piece of timing was that!
  • How did Clark get past the ‘media circus’?
  • I wouldn't bother trusting that, Lex.
  • Clark leaps at the chance to be moralistic.
  • He managed to leap into Clark's body from jail, I can't see how plotting a set-up is any harder than that
  • Oh god, a flashback to last episode. Pray that they end soon. What part of last week could *possibly* make them think it bears watching again?
  • He went to Lionel *again*. Clark needs to be locked away for his and everyone else's safety.
  • Ah, Clark’s not dumb enough to fall for the concealed-consciousness-switching-ring thing twice.
  • Perky Lionel is very unnerving
  • Oh, Lionel knows just how to play Clark: Feed that outstandingly arrogant god complex.
  • Clark actually believes he healed Lionel doesn't he?
  • Is he saying Lex isn't capable of passion?
  • She didn't get to go in Lex's car? At least half the fun of Lex sex would be getting to do it in the Ferrari
  • They remind him of Lillian? Not so much.
  • I really want to see the episode where Lana gets fatally attacked by the espresso machine
  • Pale? Under all that slap? Perhaps if they stopped coating her in makeup she'd look more pale.
  • Jason's mother is British?
  • I can, but it has to be a china mug. Unless it's a specifically mug-suitable tea
  • The Smallville Inn doesn't sound very classy.
  • "You are so Beautiful" and I have to say that twice, because you have no other redeeming characteristics.
  • “I see now why he had to be with you.” Well, we don’t. It’s not for the scintillating conversation, anyway. It's been four years and I still don't
  • Community service doesn't generally allow you to mix with convicted criminals.
  • Can you get time off school for prison visits to non-family members whom you helped to convict?
  • That's not a lot. 13 doesn't actually seem that high. This is Lex, a human being so emotionally stunted he has to be best friends with a teenage boy who insults him at every opportunity. Long term commitments aren't really his thing.
  • He meant "never happens" in the metaphorical "you don't ever speak of it" sense, not that it just does happen, since obviously it did
  • Most things Lex does don't make any sense.
  • "I didn't ask you to show up." He did quite clearly ask him to be an accomplice though
  • Lex has a point, he did actually ask for her name. If she doesn't want to give it to him, that's hardly his fault.
  • A database of stalkers! How the hell do you organise one of those? Only Lex could have so many stalkers it requires an actual database
  • Clark will download that bit later. Clark quite clearly doesn't think that's gross at all does he?
  • Because he's Lex.
  • She slept with Lex *and* she got earrings? That's not consolation, that's a bonus prize.
  • Un-feminist comment of the week, but if Corrine was happy to give it up on the basis of a five minute conversation, then she damn well doesn't get to be snooty with Lex about his casual sex habits
  • I love Clark’s “If I was an earring...” It’s an international locating tool, apparently.
  • Chloe's having way too much fun with this. Go Chloe, you shamelessly use the situation to your own ends.
  • "We were only re-enacting a murder scene!"
  • Uses for Clark Kent number 42.
  • Okay, sorry. I must have missed something. You get sex with Lex Luthor, no awkward morning after chat, and you get $50,000 worth of diamonds. I'm not seeing the downside.
  • I think it's mildly disturbing that not only is Lex copying his father's sexual habits, but that he took the time to find out about them in the first place
  • Clark's just pissed he didn't get earrings.
  • Lex, get the hell out of there. Don't touch the obvious corpse... Twice in one week? Lex, this is getting embarrassing.
  • All lines are busy? That's not what you want to hear from the emergency services.
  • No, I don’t think he does.
  • How many times can one man wake up duct-taped to a chair? Lex should just carry his own duct tape and chair around with him.
  • ‘Note to self; hire smarter security guards.’
  • See, we should get to see the office sex.
  • Honey, that's your own fault. Don’t blame Lex because you can't keep your skirt on.
  • I'm sure Lex sex is mind blowing, but I'm not sure it's worth going nuts over.
  • Jason's mother, whom he never speaks to, asks Lana to do something bad, and she's upset with Jason about it? Is Lana getting pissy with Jason for no good reason? It must be Monday.
  • That's not that unusual either. I dream about places I've never been yet all the time
  • I have this wonderful image of a diamond earing hiring a detective- "There's this person I need to find..."
  • I would've thought they'd automatically come as a pair.
  • He's tied down and gagged, and now they're making him wet. I swear, they do actually read those letters I send...
  • She had sex *twice* and she's still complaining. I'd be mildly insulted about not being recognised, but in a hiding shellfish behind all his radiators way, not in a setting him on fire way
  • Bollocks he did. If she's dumb enough to dump her boyfriend over a one-night-stand then she deserves everything she gets
  • How did that... Okay, that doesn't make any sense. Clark's obviously never read the fire triangle.
  • Cunningly Clark manages to rip Lex's shirt open in the course of the rescue.
  • For once I'm with Martha and Jonathan.
  • If you try very hard, maybe he'll buy you a pair of diamond earrings.
  • Walk away, Lex.
  • Oh dear, the writers really do expect us to see casual sex as a turn to the dark side don't they?
  • Brooding, wet!Jason! They're reading my letters too!
  • Look at Jason's mum trying hard not to say "beautiful" again
 

scare

 
  • I've had this dream several times, only the person climbing the barn stairs in red stilettos has never been Lana
  • Ah, someone who is supposed to be interesting and sexy, and yet isn't; it must be Lana.
  • *Yawn*
  • "The way he got a job at my school..." It's nice to know Jason's subconscious finds that slightly suspicious too
  • This had better be a dream sequence of some kind. It is. Lana's wearing something that isn't pink, so it must be
  • Whoo hoo! Go dream!Jason!
  • Jason's nightmare is about Clark cheating on him!
  • Where did real Jason fall from? Did he just fling himself over the balcony railing?
  • Jason pretends to be unconscious until Lana goes away.
  • What revolting jewellery
  • Sleepy, unconscious Jason is very cute
  • Shouldn't there be more machines?
  • I'd have a panic attack if I realised I was going to have to spend the evening in the company of Lana.
  • It's dissociative behaviour! *Feels proud of behavioural knowledge*
  • Why are Jason's important documents in Lana's apartment?
  • So not past that
  • Aren't they there precisely to go through Jason's personal things?
  • I adore Lex's extremely pissed off face when he realises Clark broke in again. Oh, poor Lex...
  • Shouldn't a restricted area have had guards on the gate?
  • Well, tell them where from, Lex.
  • I have a lovely mental image of Jason being interviewed by Catbert now.
  • Is anyone else finding Clark extremely irritating this season? Well, anyone except Lex. You find Clark irritating every season
  • We should get to see Clark taken away in a golf buggy.
  • Chloe's nightmare is seriously creepy
  • Ha! Clark advancing slowly in a golf buggy just completely ruined the dramatic tension.
  • It's a building full of gas pipes, naked flames and vast amounts of chemicals, I think the real puzzle is why most labs *don't* explode
  • LexCorp has a very well equipped first aid room. Ours couldn't even give out aspirin
  • With so many people bed-ridden or milling around, why was the car park empty?
  • It's a good point.
  • I think I'd call CDC anyway.
  • Why on earth would it take five hours? You can heat something to that temperature with a fire and some bellows in less time than that
  • "Haven't found anything in common?" Apart from the fact that they all have the same condition, you mean
  • If it's passed in the water, it isn't strictly contagious. The LexCorp man just explained that. Why bother using these terms correctly if Jonathan's going to misuse them in the very next scene? *stomps off in scientific huff*
  • So much for Lana's 'I can't bear to leave Jason'. She's such a coward
  • Do Prison Governors usually hold meetings in the corridor?
  • The short hair either looks good or really, really bad.
  • Shouldn't Lionel have been present for those kind of proceedings?
  • Surely you're not allowed to just stay in jail if they don't want you?
  • They're letting him out just in time to save the season.
  • Maybe he just hates you.
  • "Do you really think that I'm that shallow?" Yes, you are. Get over it. Notice how Clark studious avoids answering that question.
  • Lana barely has a conscious mind, I'm not sure her subconscious is worth examining.
  • JA didn't have many lines to learn this week did he?
  • We should get to see the test mouse's nightmare.
  • Why inoculate someone who already has the condition? Surely that wouldn't work
  • Those Hazmat suits aren't very hardwearing are they?
  • How has Lex not noticed the corridor full of comatose patients?
  • We've been asking ourselves the same question.
  • Clark has caused so many other terrible things to happen, and yet he's still only concerned about Lana's parents. Why does everyone in Smallville have such psychologically apt nightmares? Do none of them dream about giant cockroaches or inappropriate nudity like normal people do?
  • It's such a shame we missed the scene where Clark keeled over and Lex had to try and manouvre him onto a gurney
  • Lex really should be wearing a lab coat for this...
  • I know Lex is fond of dumb heroics, but there's absolutely no point trying out a cure on a person who doesn't even have the disease. Maybe I've been spoiled by Stargate, in which they at least make the effort to make the science make sense, but Smallville really ought to try a little harder.
  • That's a pretty cool dream sequence considering it was put in at the eleventh hour and made up from the shots from 'Hourglass' and Terminator 2.
  • Wow, they share the white suit... Where did the white suit come from? He wasn't wearing that when he went in
  • I'm betting on Genevieve Teague. I think it's possibly Bridget Crosby, but I also think it's more likely we're not seeing the other person because *they* have no idea who it's going to be. I wonder what odds I could get on "We're never given a satisfactory identification"?
  • He's walked in there and seen them unconscious on the floor before, hasn't he? You'd think he'd be used to it by now
  • Why has he been getting close to Lana "lately"?
  • "...He might be a strange, strange man who dresses up as a rodent for kicks, but one day there'll be *someone* who'll understand..."
  • Well done Jason, run while you can!
  • This seems a very odd revelation for Chloe to have now
  • Poor Chloe's doing everything short of poking Clark with a sharp stick. Just tell her Clark!
 

unsafe

 
  • Why is Clark doing his homework in the middle of a party? And since when did the Talon become a nightclub?
  • "Help! Girls! Girls are hitting on me!" Bless him, Clark wouldn’t know what to do with either of those girls in the hot tub.
  • Okay, maybe it is a little difficult to respond to offers of hot tubs if you know your Mum is watching you do it.
  • Bitter!Clark is grating to say the least.
  • I'm not sure either of those girls were looking for a relationship
  • Cut to crazy girl?
  • Yep, there we go
  • That’s ridiculously dramatic lighting for a mental institution.
  • It's good to see Belle Reve has embraced some more ethical methods of treatment.
  • Hopefully they're going to let her shower first. And possibly use a hairbrush
  • I’ve forgotten – who is this again? Why is she important?
  • "...and Lana" Don't hold that against her
  • Releasing lead into someone's bloodstream can't be safe
  • I like Clark's use of the word "think" in that sentence
  • Maybe he was waiting for someone to drop by.
  • There were quite a lot of people in there like her too
  • "So they just let her teleport..." Jonathan hadn't been listening to Clark explain about Alicia at all, had he?
  • By that argument, Clark, and Jonathan for that matter, should be in there too.
  • Don’t worry Clark, this is Smallville. Any second now a meteor freak is bound to knock at your door. It's happened at least three times already
  • Those are suspiciously flattering pictures for medical records.
  • "Who's he?" Dr McBride perhaps? Clark really should take the time to read those helpful captions
  • “More degrees than a thermometer.” I like that.
  • Ah! Perky Clark, welcome back.
  • She's come to be pissy with you for no reason, what do you expect?
  • He couldn't exactly say it afterwards, could he?
  • Clark, not one of the world's natural ice-skaters. Clark's ice skating! That's just... I don’t have the words.
  • Please tell me Lex appears in a bobble hat.
  • She made the buns of steel joke!
  • I know the creepy, hairy psychiatrist is both creepy and hairy, but he is sort of making sense here.
  • You've got to love a woman who's willing to use Clark's powers for minor domestic tasks. It seems such a waste if she doesn't
  • Don’t sip it, it's boiling.
  • I don't know why they bother putting dialogue in this show if they're just going to drown it out with crappy, out of date pop songs. The music department need to get over this awful Dido fixation
  • He went to Florida with Bart, and they hadn't even kissed
  • If she wants to go where nobody knows her, then doesn't taking Clark kind of defeat the point?
  • Just how easy is it to break into this school?
  • Go Alicia!
  • How many of those rings did Chloe stash in the Torch office?
  • Ooh! Fencing!Lex! He's still pretty bad at it, but he does look extremely hot in the gear
  • It's not a sexy look
  • I so thought Lex was going to take his shirt off then.
  • Poor Lex, "So, trying to kill me is a full time job." I do love the idea that trying to dispatch Lex is a full-time job. There's probably lots of paperwork and filing to do and everything
  • I like that Lex is giving this reformed act the credence it deserves.
  • That's a beautiful Lex expression, slightly hopeful, yet deeply paranoid at the same time
  • Clark has way too much faith in the Belle Reve management. Yeah, because we all know Belle Reve is strictly bound by procedures and ethics.
  • "I'm not..." No, but you're far more devious.
  • Is Clark blind as well as stupid? It's got giant red stones in it! It's also hideous
  • How does Alicia know about the red K anyway?
  • I actually don’t blame Lana for skipping out on TS Eliot. God knows I wish I had.
  • Any kind of face isn't really her strong suit. I'm not sure Lana has any other expressions. "I'm hurting, ask me how!" seems to be her default setting
  • Yes, because you have no other interesting characteristics or capabilities.
  • If three months alone in Paris didn't do it, then she's definitely not ready
  • If he wanted an adult relationship, he wouldn't have gone anywhere near the girl.
  • It's nice Chloe had that statistic to hand
  • Chloe slept with Jimmy Olsen! Big question is, was it First!Jimmy or Second!Jimmy? Ha! Chloe lost her virginity to Jimmy! I always thought she made that intern up.
  • Why are the writers on such a crusade against casual sex? This is the second episode that's entire theme revolves around sleeping with people being A Very Bad Thing. Smallville really needs to get off its moral and incredibly hypocritical soapbox.
  • It should be one of his abilities... Am refusing to think about the possibility of staying power being one of Clark’s abilities. Yup. Look at me, refusing to consider the possibility.
  • Alicia is very principled in the face (and other parts) of naked red!Clark. I'm not sure I'd hold out for a wedding ring. I'd only hold out as far as a bed because I know my back would complain if we squashed onto the couch
  • 'No one's more committed to making this happen than me'. Red!Clark is just so refreshingly straightforward.
  • Classy, very classy. This is *so* the way Clark should get married. There's something about him that just screams Cheesy Vegas Wedding
  • That's a gorgeous dress. Look, I’m peripherally involved in a wedding at the moment and there’s no way that she would have got a wedding dress that suited her so well that quickly. It’s just not in any bride’s nature.
  • Is this marriage legal?
  • I so want my husband-to-be to say "hell, yes".
  • Wow, Clark's wearing suspenders... Although, sadly not the English kind.
  • Christ, Lana’s either going overboard on the romantic candlelight idea or she’s forgotten to pay the electricity bill again. How romantic can such a blatant fire hazard be?
  • I love Jason's complete lack of reaction to the candles and the nightshirt.
  • That should be easy enough. Say it! Say it!
  • Please don’t make me watch this.
  • "No, I just had to stop you..."
  • Lana really did think Jason was that shallow, didn't she?
  • "Well, you know all those meetings I've been having with Lex..."
  • Because you're a paranoid, clingy, whiny lunatic!
  • Turn the bloody music down!
  • Idiot girl. Leave the necklace on! No, No, do that afterwards...
  • Are unexplained appearances at violent crime scenes really hallmarks of a troubled teen?
  • That's it, show the powerful and crazy doctor your powers...
  • Why hold the jokes? Is there a chance they won't release her if they find out she's funny?
  • This is the first genuinely emotional scene Smallville has managed to pull off in a while.
  • Is security just letting Lionel wander in and out as he pleases?
  • Not every penny. There's still $2.79 in that Swiss bank account
  • Oh Lex, such a soft touch...
  • I love that they’re showing the aftermath of the ‘telling the parents’ scene. What I love more is that it’s Jonathan that’s stamped off in a girly strop and not Martha.
  • Yeah, because getting married is the worst thing Clark has even done. Why is Martha more pissed about Clark running away to get married than she was about him running away to consort with gangsters, break into corporate buildings and live a life of crime paying for Lamborghinis with money he stole from cash machines? Which he did that voluntarily
  • Martha's a little harsh considering her son was drugged.
  • Who fixed that back onto her wrist?
