Smallville and Supernatural: Arrow and Dead Things

[butterfly]

I am continuing to just have so much fun with Thursday night television! I adored Arrow. Lois was so! Eee! Lois-y. Her interaction with Oliver (and totally not clicking that he was the Green Arrow) was so perfect. I'm vastly amused that Lois and Clark were united in their strong dislike of Oliver's methods (though Lois didn't know that). And I loved Oliver giving us some set-up for Superman in the future. And Lana continues to be absolutely kick-ass. I simply adore her now.

So much fun!

First, Sam was stealing my heart for the first half of Children, but then Dean totally ripped it out of Sam's hands. "Things that are dead should stay dead." Oh, Dean.

You know, last night was the first night I really saw Lois be Lois. I mean, I've seen glimmerings of it before, but this really hit me for some reason. And yet, I still see people that I otherwise respect wishing that Chloe could be Lois. I love Chloe, and I thought she was wonderful last night, but she wasn't Lois, and can't be.

*snicker* That was great, wasn't it? Even though Clark understands better now, he still disapproves of Oliver's "ends justify the means" tactics, which is just so Superman-y, it's awesome.

And I loved Oliver giving us some set-up for Superman in the future.

I squealed when that happened. Literally. See, I absolutely adore the Superman mythos, and any push in that direction Clark gets I'm just all over. It doesn't hurt any that Oliver was being all hot and intense while doing it. Yum.

And Lana continues to be absolutely kick-ass. I simply adore her now.

If someone had told me 'round about 2nd season that come the 6th season I would absolutely adore Lana, I would've suggested they possibly needed therapy. But I do. I love her so much more with Lex than Clark, I can't tell you. I think she and Lex may well be the beginnings of a great (morally dubious) team.

*sob* That was my main reaction throughout: "Oh, Sam." "Oh, Dean."

She really couldn't. Durance was just pitch-perfect as Lois last night -- tenacious and impossible to drag from her story, fierce in her self-confidence, and (as pre-crisis/pre-knowing Lois) causing the men in her life to be baffled as to how she can have such different feelings for the real and undercover versions of themselves.

*snicker* That was great, wasn't it? Even though Clark understands better now, he still disapproves of Oliver's "ends justify the means" tactics, which is just so Superman-y, it's awesome.

He was incredibly Superman-y. Clark is never going to be an 'ends justify the means' kinda guy -- it's part of what makes Superman Superman. It was lovely to see.

I squealed when that happened. Literally. See, I absolutely adore the Superman mythos, and any push in that direction Clark gets I'm just all over. It doesn't hurt any that Oliver was being all hot and intense while doing it. Yum.

It was lovely. I like that it's something that Clark really has already been doing (like cleaning up Metropolis), but that this maybe will help him realize that he can't do what needs to be done all at night.

If someone had told me 'round about 2nd season that come the 6th season I would absolutely adore Lana, I would've suggested they possibly needed therapy. But I do. I love her so much more with Lex than Clark, I can't tell you. I think she and Lex may well be the beginnings of a great (morally dubious) team.

She's been amazing with Lex and a joy to watch. And (like Clark with Lois), she matches his morality -- we might need the alien weapon to defend us against more aliens and when you love someone, you should be willing to do whatever it takes to defend them.

*sob* That was my main reaction throughout: "Oh, Sam." "Oh, Dean."

Supernatural has just been so good this year, character-wise.
