YES TO EVERYTHING except I quite like Tess now. I like that she has her mean as fuck attitude back with Lionel, I think they've been so wonky with her and there's a balance between her being inspired by Clark and then just being mishy mashy. But the entire Luthor plot is just a mess. A stupid mess that I don't even understand why they felt it necessary to go there. This fixation with the Luthors is something I've never really understood. I could write songs about my hatred for Lionel Luthor, the real one, as a character - ugh I agree so hard with you.
So much of the writing for Clois has been contrived conflict settled by trite conversations and mushy dialogue as if that covers up the fact that the conflict itself was idiotic, ill-resolved, poorly-written, take your pick. Ambush really explored the complexities of the relationship the best, I felt both their POVs respected and articulated so well, and resolved well. And it helps that that episode showed the tenderness AND sexuality that is part and parcel of this relationship in a way that they haven't done since. I keep seeing people saying that now they're together, there wouldn't be any UST and I can't understand that. Sexual tension is part and parcel of the Lois and Clark relationship, it has nothing to do with them not being together, and everything to do with who these two characters are, the ways that they are different and rub each other the wrong (right) way, the push and the pull - so in my mind Lois and Clark's sexuality is part and parcel of their characterization. They are a strong, supportive couple and they have their beautifully sweet moments, their love is incomparable but to minimize that side of their relationship is a fail on the part of the writers in my mind and I can't get over it. That's just one of my complaints with the Clois this season, sorry it's so incoherent lol.
I don't even know. I just hope that the rest of the season gives us something better.
