Smallville and Supernatural -- Wither and Bloodlust

[butterfly]

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.

I know, the brothers moments were great in this episode.

You can hit me all you want."
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.

The relationships were cute and great in this episode. I always find Lana more interesting with Lex although he has that effect on most people. It was also very cool to see Tara Amber again. And I looved the "Sammy" quote, too funny and cute.

Lana is definitely tons more interesting with Lex than she was with Clark. She has more shades and I think that KK steps up her game a whole bunch. And she looks more natural when she's kissing him, too -- she always seemed so stiff with Clark.

And seeing Amber in Supernatural was just wonderful! I adore her so much and it was great to see that she was still fantastic in a role that was nothing like Tara.

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