Um...
To be honest, I'm not even sure I should be wasting words on this mindless crap. I mean, it's not even entertaining mindless crap, it's just a mind-numbing, vomitous mass of WTF?
It was boring, for starters. And the boring just kept repeating itself to the point I thought I was going to get my eyes stuck back in my head from rolling them so hard.
I don't know what happened to that tiny, brief period where it seemed like Clark was totally over Lana, but, by God, I want that back. It seemed to be going so well, and then all of the sudden it was over. We reverted back about five years where Clark's an obsessive freak, and Lana can't stop playing him like a fiddle, and if this is love then I don't ever want to be in it. Because it's kind of petty and creepy. I've seen love, and sorry, kiddies, this ain't it. Why they're so obsessed with each other when there's no connection there, and there has never been a connection there, is beyond me.
Now, I'm not on crazy, murderous Lex's side here, but I think in his own sick, twisted little way, he loves her. I mean, it's truly a psycho kind of love, but even that turns my stomach far less than the show Clark puts on. As far as I'm concerned, he's got nothing to back it up. He's got more of a case of wanting what you can't have, because Lana's always been emotionally or physically unavailable, and it's when she's at her most unattainable state that he seems to want her the most. That's a whole other sick psychological condition.
If Clark really wanted love, he's had a girl available to him for the last seven years that would literally do anything for him, love him unconditionally, and not screw around with his emotions the way Lana has always done. And before you say he doesn't love Chloe, that's bull. I think he would if he had ever pulled his head far enough out of his ass to see that Lana is in no way, shape, or form the perfect person, much less the perfect partner.
I have never known what's wrong with the writers, but they were on some serious crack cocktails when they dredged up this unholy mess. From Martha and Chloe convincing Clark to wreck Lana's wedding day, to Lana planning on calling off the wedding to meet Clark, Clark planning to propose to her on the same day she's supposed to marry another man, not to mention the fact she's carrying another man's child, Lana being a complete bitch and trapping Chloe in the wine cellar to trick Clark into revealing his powers, and let's not forget the cheesy 30s horror movie organ music playing as Lex "accidentally" murders yet another person, it was just worse than bad. And I had imagined bad. I have a really good imagination for bad here, people, and this shocked even me.
I'm still trying to recover from it, I think, because I just don't believe it happened. I can't believe they've dragged Clark Kent to this kind of absolute low, because it was very, very low.
I wish I didn't even have to get started on Lana, but my God. This IS her fault, people. Totally and completely. She's led Lex on, she's made him believe that she loves him, she was dumb enough to get knocked up, and all of the sudden she wants out? Too bad, idiot. All she had to do was warn Clark that Lionel wanted to kill him, and Clark could have taken care of him lickity split. But nope, she's just not smart enough. At this point I'm shocked she's capable of basic motor skills, like putting one foot in front of the other.
I don't know. To say I'm appalled is far too mild for how I actually feel, but I don't really know what else to say. Except maybe EW.
I don't really know if I can say anything about this episode that surrexi didn't already say, because she summed up the plotting and filming of this episode pretty much perfectly.
I liked it. It wasn't one of my favorites, but after a month without Dean, even Route 666 might look good. Um, okay, not really.
Somehow, even with years of sci-fi training, I didn't see Molly being dead till the end. I felt like a total failure when that got past me, but I think the farmer ghost distracted me. After all, I wasn't expecting TWO ghosts at once. That would just be silly! lol
But after the reveal, everything that went before it made sense. Which was good, because Sam and Dean just driving into an episode without any conversation or research didn't make any sense. I think I was completely thrown off from then on.
Next week = werewolves! Woo! Looks good.
