Smallville and Supernatural: Sneeze and Clowns

[butterfly]

Oh, the teaser was perfection. Hearing Clark speak of how he had to help 'clean up his mess' and about listening to Jor-El... he's really grown up. The change took.

I love Lois in all of her scenes. ED has such a wonderful sense of timing. She was marvelous and made her leap into journalism thoroughly believable and enjoyable (And, aw, Clark's the reason that she got her first front-page headline! Cuteness!).

I continue to find the Lana/Lex relationship extremely interesting.

And then...

"He's been abducted? My God."

That delivery was wonderful!

I've fallen in love with Oliver Queen. The actor is brilliant. His give-and-take with Glover's Lionel was absolutely fantastic. I adored him after one scene. Love!

"I guess heroes don't get sick days."
"They also don't put the world in jeopardy on an annual basis. I'm no hero, Chloe."

Oh! I love Clark so much! So much love! That's such a heroish thing for him to say.

I am, on balance, exceedingly happy.


Dude, whatever that damn secret is, I get the impression that Dean fucking hates keeping it from Sam. But he is. Which makes me exceedingly curious about it.

Also, clowns are, and always have been, very creepy.

I quite liked the new (reoccuring?) characters (Ellen, at least, shows up in next week's preview), though I find it interesting (for 'interesting', feel free to read 'distressing') that we still haven't met any female hunters, but that we were explicitly told that it was the husband/father who was the hunter.

The thing is, nobody does girls right. (The single exception I can think of here is Firefly.) I'd rather they left us out than misrepresented us yet again.

I'm the other way around. I figure practice and exposure can be good things. My current example is Smallville, which has definitely gotten better with its female characters over the years. They can be taught.
