last kid standing up against the wall
I have been watching a truly awful amount of Smallville. It's not even as though I started out watching for Lex and stayed for something else (although if I were to stay for something else, it would be for Chloe and, to my surprise, Lois); no, I've been watching truly awful amounts of Smallville just for good Lex episodes. I didn't really realize the depths to which I'd sunk until I looked in the mirror yesterday and discovered that I'd absently put on a blue shirt and a red jacket. Today, with resignation, it's a red shirt and blue plaid flannel, hell yeah I own blue plaid flannel. I am sad I do not have any absurd purple shirts.
My point is, I think I can officially add Smallville to the List of Things I Am Ridiculously Overinvested In. I am still resisting the urge to actually just break down and genuinely watch ALL THE LEX (it wouldn't be too hard; I have perfected the art of skipping through episodes in search of Lex and of avoiding Lana almost entirely -- see also Reasons I Hate Season Six) but so far I have found it more expedient to just track down lots of vids. Say what you like about the plot, but this show's visuals are often completely gorgeous.
Therefore: vids! ( Seven vids under the cut. That's seven ones. And that's TERRIBLE. But not as terrible as Lex stealing forty cakes. )
There are also two vids that don't exist (to the best of my knowledge) but really, really should. The first one is a vid to Handlebars; I know that nothing can top the Tenth Doctor version, but I really, really want the one about Lex (and Clark) becoming awful people. It would be all fast cars and Warrior Angel comics and saving each other and LuthorCorps experiments and stumbling through tunnels and nuclear missiles! And it would probably make me cry. It would be great.
The second one is ... kind of cracky? It's to Jessie's Girl, and is about how Clark and Lex use Lana as a proxy. Did I mention how angry I am that they use Lana as a proxy? And all the musical bridges of the song would be Lana nearly killing Lionel and faking her death and generally getting her goddamn agency back.
Yeah, the vids-in-my-head folder is getting pretty full.
