Beacon Screentime Totals, and Thoughts
Well now, that was a big improvement over last week. Of course, I'm not sure how much that says considering what a flaming pile of poop I thought last weeks episode was.
Overall, I'd say Beacon was a solid episode that had some very good moments, and scenes, and performances, but also had a few problems.
Anyway, we'll get to that, first we make ( Read more... )

Yeah, thats a pretty good way of summing it up. But how sad is it that I'll take it, because I don't expect anything much better?
I know that Clark in the comics does need a cheerleader from time to time. But I don't think its needed in every issue of the comics, so why does it need to be an element of nearly every episode of SV at this point? Also, at some point, we're going to need to see Clark dig a little deep, and find a way to be his own source of strength and motivation. These qualities are essential to believe that he's going to become Superman.
Honestly, I think putting Lois in cheerleader mode, and sort of ignoring her own rather renowned ambitions is also making her out to be a little too perfect. And my impression was that part of the appeal of Lois is how NOT perfect she is.
I think at this point, the show has made their point that Lois is very, very supportive, and that Clark could not be Superman without her. I think its time to move on from that now.
I think they could've given us some impression of how Clark might be having an impact on the citizens of Metropolis just by showing scenes here and there of Clark saving the average citizen. Like, think back to last season, when Clark saved the lady from being attacked. Or when he saved the little kid from the bullies. This season, we have gotten none of that at all. Its like they decided that they just didn't need to bother with that anymore, and I think thats such an essential part of Clark's story.
And Tom Welling is just ridiculously handsome. No matter what else is going on with SV, Tom always bring the Pretty on a consistant basis. God bless 'em!
