Smallville Series Rewatch: Episode 1.17-1.20 (Day Nine)

My mom decided to join me, so my thinky thoughts aren't so thinky (I didn't have the opportunity to pause and refllect while I type).  But she's kind of adorable because she kept saying "where's the next one [episode]?  Come on, you got me started, might as well keep going."

I just wanted to chime in and say that I'm enjoying reading your commentaries and walking down SV memory lane again. I'm finding it really interesting to hear your perspective on Lana (good or bad) particularly in instances where I see the situation very differently. Ah, the diversity of fandom.

As far as the Chlark, I just never saw it. What I saw was a Clark who tried to return Chloe's feelings after accepting that Lana was off-limits (at least as long as Whitney was in the picture) and realizing that Chloe had these feelings for him. I think he gave it an honest shot, but from everything we saw happen, and the things he directly told her later, I never felt the Chlark had any "real" depth in terms of love from Clark's perspective.

I won't expound on how I saw the Clark and Lana situation because I don't want to come off as argumentative in your LJ. And I'd likely babble a lot. :)

I really am vicariously enjoying the show again through your entries though. Wish I had time to rewatch them all as well, but this is the next best thing. Thanks!

You can honestly give me your POV about Lana and I will listen because I'm honestly finding her character enjoyable in the first season with two exceptions, and even then I forgave her after I let my rant out because she apologized for that one glaring one. And truth be told I'm throwing Chloe a bone in the last two reviews because I just can't stand her obnoxiousness that I felt I wasn't being very objective after awhile, so I attempted to be nice. But really, maybe your perspective will help me view the Lana thing in a different light.
