Tonight's Smallville

[pen37]

Tonight's episode?  Way better than last week.

Dear SV: I like my show to have a point.  Other than "We didn't give you 7 years of backstory to advance the plot in the direction we want to go.  So instead you have this piece of WTFery."  This week=win.  Last week=epic fail.

Show, show.  Don't tell.

How come you didn't like last week's eppy? I didn't think it was too bad. I'm not much of a Clois shipper, but I seem to like the development between them. I actually wouldn't mind if they got together. When they were threatened, I loved the way Lois said she did love Clark. And even though Jimmy seems a bit mundane, I couldn't help but love him in the eppy. His, "Guys like me don't get girls like you," was very touching. Mostly as I can relate to that, and also because I think Chloe thinks herself as the kind of person who isn't fairly high up in the "league" of things. The Ollie/Tess angle seems a bit weird though. I don't think I would mind too much, except Ollie seems really out of character- really incessant about getting Tess, even though he knows he's stepping in dangerous territory.

I haven't seen this week's eppy yet. Hopefully will watch it this w/end

What I dislike is something that In writing is called "Show, don't tell

When Chloe said it last season, did she say she was in love with him or she loved him? I do believe she loves Clark, but I feel it has settled into a sibling kind of love. She did feel strongly for Clark, and out of anyone she probably deserves him the most, but I think she converted that feeling into something else. But maybe a part of her will always love him like that

Yes, No Erica Durance screentime always improves an episode by my book anyway.
Maybe i'm the only one but Davis creeps me out big times. I'm not so sure about Davis/Chloe...
But Chlark+Martial manhunter was really good.
I'm always picking up lots of inconsistencies, and little details that don't fit and it's kind of ruining it for me. I just have to remember that Smallville is not known to be very real anyway, but for example, have you ever seen a paramedic alone in his truck? There is always a driver and another person that needs to be in the back of the truck with the victim. Well Davis, no hes a superhero, he does everything by himself i guess. Plus he gets all those blackouts, but no car accidents... I guess Doomsday knows how to drive :)

LOL! I actually liked the whole Chloe/Blume thing because Chloe did recognize that it was a danger to her relationship with Jimmy, and chose to do the right thing.
