Smallville and Supernatural: Arrow and Dead Things

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.

I'm vastly amused that Lois and Clark were united in their strong dislike of Oliver's methods (though Lois didn't know that).

*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.

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.

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

Oh my goodness yes. I loved Smallville to tiny little bits. The only complaints I had was with the directing, at times — there were a few reaction shots that were held just a little too long. But the characters? Damn. There was so much tremendous character work in this episode, I'm bringing it together in little pieces. Lana's scene in the elevator made my jaw drop. And I have so much love for Lois after last night, it's unreal. And yes, absolutely, to Lois and Clark having the same instinctual world view. That's Important, in terms of this show and the different characters' moral codes, you know?

I totally dug last night's Smallville episode! It was one of my favorite. We get to see more Lois being who she's meant to be and everything! I loved it! And I love Oliver. :)

I just finished watching it, and ouch, my heart. They just kept ripping it out this season!

Let us not forget when Oliver said that line about living under the same house and hiding their feelings with sarcasam.

That was gold. Especially their reactions.

Doesn’t it make you feel for Dean? This is the second time he’s lived on at the expense of someone else. And while he doesn’t remember the reaper telling him that spirits that cling on past their time go on to become troubled souls, that was ringing in my head as I watched Dean struggle with the weight of the situation.

//There is a side of Clark that Chloe doesn't share and vice versa. They really aren't well-matched.//

See, that's what I find interesting. And even Clark starts to question his morals with his "it's not as clear as it used to be". Lois is the only one at the end of the episode that isn'r re-evaluating her morals/ideas/

Arrow was great, I love Oliver way too much. It's funny to see him and Lois interact.

Oh, Dean. Aww.
