I lovelovelove Thursday nights! Yes, that much love! Because, first there was Smallville. Where the couples of the season were in various stages of... stageness -- Lex and Lana consummating their desires, Lois and Oliver prolonging the chase, and Chloe and Jimmy in the middle -- set against the contrast of Clark! Drawn to another alien! Yet in the end! Isolated! And Alien! My excitement can only be expressed in exclamation points!
Seriously, though, I loved it. Loved Lois and Oliver's meeting -- he was as taken with her as he should have been and I found his flirtation with her very nice indeed. Chloe and Jimmy were really sweet. They fit each other (it helps that Jimmy's a little closer to her height -- I'm not a huge fan of the short girl/tall guy dynamic. It always reminds me of Hello, Dolly! and then I'm incapable of taking the relationship seriously).
And Lex and Lana! Oh, very interesting. I find Lana infinitely more interesting with Lex than I've ever found her previously.
Gloria, I found fascinating and beautiful. I could understand Clark's attraction to her. And I think the actress did a good job of being ever so slightly alien (loved hearing an outside opinion of Kryptonians, too!).
Then, there was Supernatural. Oh, sweet Amber, I have missed you.
I adored Amber Benson in Buffy. She's my favorite Scooby significant other. Seeing her here, in a very different but still fascinating (and gorgeous!) character was so lovely.
The character work for the brothers continues to be heartbreakingly excellent. Sam was most excellent this week. "Only [Dean] gets to call me [Sammy]." Aw. "You can hit me all you want." So wonderful! I love this show.
Thursdays rock.

And later, Dean's offer to Sam to punch him. I love how that's Dean!Speak for "I'm so sorry dude" and Sam's so gentle when he told Dean he would stick around. Awww.

"Only he gets to call me [Sammy]" is probably my favorite quote of the episode. The brothers are so great together.
