Review: Smallville 9x05 Roulette
:: Real life sucked this week again and I'm here with the Roulette post, just in time before Crossfire. I have to admit the delay on this post was a mix of "a lot of stuff to do" and "I wasn't really into this episode that much. Anyway, I hope you like it
The episode starts with our typical "previously on Smallville" and, once again, we are told Oliver is screw up, he killed Lex, yadda yadda yadda...
Except this week we get a super hot make out session with Lois and their talk on Siren (one of my favorite Clois hugs btw). I didn't remember Lois and Oliver were so hot and heavy, what show had I been watching before season 8? I never remember the none-Clois parts... and before we start I have to make a confession: Lois and Oliver relationship made me uncomfortable, I didn't like it, I didn't enjoy it and I didn't ship them, just like I never liked the Lois/Bruce thing the animated series had going on for a couple of episodes. I know Lollie were good, it was a nice relationship they had, good for both of them, and they needed to have that, but it's over and I'm glad it is, it lasted long enough.
The previously on Smallville clips also made me think of how glad I am that Erica was allowed to color her hair back to its natural form, she looks much prettier now.
After trying to kill himself last week we see Oliver betting everything on a roulette game, even his awesome car and loosing, because the guy has already lost it all, you don't win games when you're on a funk. But since he has all the money in the world he doesn't care...
The girl with the cool tatoo approaches and I remember that Justice League episode Roulette was in where Hawkgirl fought Wonder Woman, I was cheering for Hawkgirl.
No one ever told Oliver not to take candy from strangers, weird things happen when you do Ollie, no matter how hot you look passed out on the street.
I think being burried alive is one of my biggest fears. Who changed Oliver's suit? why didn't we saw THAT scene? Oliver has too many clothes on.
Somebody SAAAAVE ME...
Cap of the day:
Clark and walking and the word "Superman" written in the credits, it's silly but knowing that our Clarkie will be Superman makes me feel happy.
Honey, I'm home! LOL
Is that grey t-shirt the new Blue t-shirt?
Lois: about time you got home. Shelby's great and all, but the conversation. A little one-sided
There's something so domestic about this scene, I love it
Clark: shouldn't you be riding a mechanical bill somewhere? It's friday night
I think I'm slow today, what does the "riding a mechanical bull" means?
Lois: correction. It's movie night. I hope you like sharks. We're gonna start with my favorite one.
YES!!! MOVIE NIGHTS ARE CANON!! Clark's "WHAT THE HELL" face is so sweet. 5 years and Clark Kent still doesn't know what hit him, CUTE!
Clark: you have your hands full with all your laundry. Maybe we should make movie night another weekend.
Lois: it's called "multitasking". You should try it sometime.
I've read somewhere that men can't do two things at the same time, like they can't walk and chew gum at the same time, I wonder if it's true. Although I'm sure that's not Clark's case, he's the king of multitasking, being a reporter and a superhero at the same time
Clark: I hope I have enough detergent. How do you even have anything left to wear?
I was wondering the same thing Clark.
Lois: Most guys wouldn't complain if I suddenly found myself shirtless.
I know Clark wouldn't complain either. He was totally picturing her and she suddenly realised she said something she shouldn't have. I love it when Lois' mouth runs faster than her brain, she usually says the funniest things.
Lois: Poor Clark. Here, f.y.i. that did not just happened
Between last week's thong and that bra Lois is going to drive Clark crazy, his head is going to explode. I think it's a miracle he didn't set the farm on fire.
Lois: Come on! It is called "Smallville" for a reason Clark. What else do you possibly have to do tonight? it'll be fun.
What about save the cheerleader, save the world? no wait... different tv show.
I love that she's touching him all the time, and he looks so uncomfortable. That cap, with her hands on his knees... so pretty.
We get a close up to Clark's ear. I hate when they do that, can't he just put a concentration face and hear the call for help, do we have to see his ear all the time? at least Ma Kent taught him how to clean his ears well.
Clark: you know what we need? Some popcorn.
Lois: Don't forget the extra butter.
That was such a Superman scene, like the one in Rabid when he goes to get her coffee. I love that they do that.
I know in almost everywhere in the world the popcorn is salty and with butter, but I hate the taste of it, for me it has to be sweet and with caramel, seriously, that's how we eat the popcorn here in Chile, it's delicious.
So, Clark saves the girl and destroys her car in the process, I think it would have been much better if she had been mugged, what if she doesn't have insurance?
Back to Clois
Lois: see? we're already having fun
SO.DAMN.CUTE!
That scene made me nervous. I actually thought he was going to make a bow and arrow with that metal thingy... haha, look at Oliver being all McIver.
Creepy coffin is creepy.
Lex name makes it creepier. I never thought Lex would be there though.
Voice: tell me Mr. Queen, who did you destroy?
I thought of Lex and then I thought of himself. For a moment I thought Lex was behind it all.
Is it silly that I think Oliver cutting his face when the window broke is great? I hate when people jump out of windows and end up unscratched, that doesn't happen in real life!
I screamed. I swear.
LOL! Clark has brought all the sweets he could find, it looks like it was a busy night for the Blur
Lois: Are you like this at the movie theater too Clark? These conscessions runs are really sweet, but you're up and down more often than the cubs' batting lineup.
Clark: it's all the onscreen suspense. I guess it makes me hungry.
XD
Clark: what'd I miss?
Lois: there was this thing about a boat. And then just lots of dum-dum-dum-dum, dah-dum da-da da-da-da-da-da dum.
LMAO!! I swear I was laughing for a good while after this scene. And Clark's "wtf?" face!!
Clark: all right Lois. You show up with every shark movie known to man and 11 loads of laundry when I've seen you tke socks to the dry cleaner. Are you okay?
Lois: I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be fine?
Lois: I'm totally not fine. Even if it is stupid. But it's not stupid! It's Oliver's birthday today, and we always go out for beer pong on our birthdays. But today is about to become yesterday in t-minus... negative minutes.
I love Lois and Oliver's friendship. I know I said I never shipped them as a couple but as friends I think they are great, I loved the conversation they had on Bride, and I would have loved to see one of those party celebrations. I wish she had that kind of traditions with Clark. I still think it's cute that when she felt down she went to see Clark with an excuse to spend a lot of time with him.
Lois: it's over. He totally missed it. How does a guy with nine phone numbers not return a phone call?
Clark: Probably just celebrating with someone else.
Lois: wow. Tall, dark and single. Go figure.
*sigh* Clarkie my boy... you have so much to learn
Lois: do you know something? You would tell me if you did, right?
Clark: I'm sure Oliver's just fine. But paying him a visit wouldn't hurt.
Lois: Great idea. Anchors up, captain. Let's go.
How didn't he drawn? his face was completly in the water!
I'm going to try to speed this up, I don't think there are many things to say on this scenes. Somehow Ollie survived the car crash and he tries to call Chloe, and I'm starting to get the feeling Lex is not the one behind this crazyness.
Ollie goes back to Roulette and she starts acting weirdly, everything seems fishy for me right now. The girl kicks ass and they run off.
Everything about Oliver's story seems weird to me, I don't know, it's like I don't buy it. The girl keeps asking who did he hurt so badly, and my mind goes back to Lex, but I know the answer can't be that easy. Ollie then makes a speech of hurting everyone he loves and the girl gets shot. The Police come and the once white suit is all dirty and cover in blood, Ollie gets shot with a electricity thingy and passes out. All in All, not Oliver Queen's best day.
Lois: Pants on, birthday boy. Party train's arrived
Clark: Lois, I think people would prefer "knock" over "pants on"
Look at him, trying to teach Lois some manners.
Have I told you guys how happy I am the fugly red jacket is gone? the black one looks much better, but a part of me feels like the grey t-shirt and the black jacket are the new blue-tshirt and red jacket *sigh*
Clark: we've already checked his jet and his apartment. Unless he's under the couch... looks like his party train already left the station
Lois: without me on board? doubtful
I asume they were looking for Oliver the entire night, does
this people ever sleep? I know Clark doesn't need as much asleep as the rest of us, but what about Lois?
Clark: Lois, why don't you let me take you home?
Lois: yes!
how does she know his password? the first word had four letters... was his password "LoisLane" or something?
Lois: why would Oliver want to relive the night someone tried to hidenburg him?
Clark: Lois, we should respect his privacy.
Why is it that every time Clark tells her something he says her name? that's kind of dorky.
LOL at her smacking his hand away
Lois: I can't imagine what he was going through just standing there. He looks like he didn't even know the bomb got defused. But then why is he... Oh my God! he didn't know. Oliver tried to kill himself.
Clark: Lois, come on.
Lois: and you knew.
Oh oh, not good
Lois: Clark, how could you keep something this serious from me?
Clark: I was trying to protect him
Lois: from who? his friends?
Clark: Lois, wait. I didn't think he wanted anyone to know.
Lois: well, I'm not just anyone.
Of course you're not Lois, tell her Clark... TELL HER!! stupid farmboy ¬¬
Lois: Clark, you lied to me. You lied right to my face. You said everything was fine. No, nothing about this is fine.
I don't like it when Lois is hurt and dissapointed of Clark.
Also, I love Clois banter but their real fights make me nervous, don't know why. I see why Lois feels so hurt by Clark's omision, Oliver is a close friend, she obviously care about him a lot, plus being the one left out of everything that happens in this damn show gets old at some point.
So, apparently unaffected by Lois' pain (damn you Kent) Clark pinks the Roulette napkin. I have NO idea how that made it into Ollie's office, but let's forget about it and move on.
FBI shows up and Oliver goes back to be treated as he's used to. So, this guys tells him about the game, Oliver's already seen the lengths this people are willing to go, and the guys tells him the goal is to steal the money from the wealthy. Then gives him a computer to check on his account and even I could smell the trick from behind my computer screen, it was OBVIOUS what was going to happen. Also, damn, Ollie has a looot of money. Or had.
In the comics Oliver lost all of his money once, right? I think taking that road would be interesting, but who would pay for Chloe's toys.
Clarkie finds Oliver, and Clark looks like he's wearing a dress. I don't like that coat, he should wear his black jacket.
Chloe shows up on minute 24 of the episode... wow, she keeps getting shorter and shorter screen time, doesn't she?
They ask Chloe to look into the game and she quickly finds Roulette, even Oliver was surprised.
Oliver: Chloe, get my gear
Chloe: Oliver, when you turned your back on us, I locked up your arsenal, hoping that one day you would want it back, but not like this
Yay! I thought it was weird that Oliver only had one Green Arrow suit, I'm glad it wasn't lost on that stupid fire he made.
Oliver says he's going to fix this on his own, with his lawyers, but the game is far from over, isn't it? I mean, we are in minute 25, we still have 15 more minutes of plot :P
Chloe tells Clark he has bigger problems than letting his friend go, even though he recently had a fight with Lois over said friend and he's in the middle of a life or death game. Yes, I think whatever Chloe has to say to him is more important than Oliver *sigh*
Chloe's been hacking on everybody and their mother's computers and she found the video Lois saw a couple of minutes ago.
Clark: Oliver was watching this on his laptop. It's a long story about Lois and laundry and lacy things.
LMAO, 11 shark movies, tons and tons of candies and the one thing that stick to his memory are the "lacy things". Kal El from Krypton, ladies and gentlemans, vulnerable to kryptonite and Lois Lane's underwear.
Chloe: Lois saw this video.
Clark: Not only it, but me on it (and now she's mad at me *pouts*)
Chloe: okay, so on a scale from one to chernobyl, how big was the fallout?
Clark: let's just say if there was an antilife equation, I think I found it *pouts*
Anti-life equation!? OH MY GOD DARKSEID!! for those of you not familiar with this equation from the DC universe, you can read about it here in wikipedia. That made the geek inside of me smile
So, Alia was in the party and not even Chloe understands how a person from the future who died in the present aparently is alive in the present because she still hasn't lived the future the other her came from... damn time traveling is confusing! Clark expects Jor-El explains it him and hope he does it with cute drawings.
Lois insults someone over the phone and finds Oliver's car. See, people this is why you should tell Lois stuff, when you don't she goes to try and find things for herself gets in trouble. Clark should have called her to tell her "Oliver is fine, please forgive me or I'll pout again", but NOOOO he's too busy trying to understand the time traveling issue.
Lois kicks all kind of ass again, yet is not enough because this dragon tatooed girl ends up pointing a gun at her head, cheater. Wasn't she dead? It looks like Erica doesn't uses a stun double on this fights scene, damn this woman rocks!
Ollie walks all bloody and dirty into the club while holding a gun, and I knew the woman sitting there was Lois, I just knew it.
Crazy chick shows up, she explain him the game, blah blah blah and she starts shooting.
Lois: shoot her (or soooot'er)
Oliver: she knows I won't, not if there's a chance I'd hit you.
Damn, now the girl spread the place with gasoline, this episode sure is getting thrilling, now I'm all hooked. Here I am thinking "this is when Clark will show up and save the day, show up Clark, SHOW UP!!" then I remember this last 2 episodes have been Oliver-ville, plus Clark can be a bit think so I'm sure Jor-El is bringing the apples and oranges to explain him time travel.
Lois gets kocked out, it had been too long since the last time she lost conscience. I'm not going to go on how she just passed out from falling off the chair, while two episodes ago Zombie!Tess threw her all the way across a room and she didn't faint. Move on.
Crazy chick seems to be trapped under a wall and the hero is reborn (about damn time Ollie). I seriously yelled "what the fuck" when she stood up and put out the fire.
Roulette: you kept asking me who did this to you. My question was always the answer, "who did you destroy?" I hear you're some sort of hero, one that tried to bury that part of himself. You've just proven that that hero is still alive Oliver. Now it's time to resurect him.
So this whole scheme was to bring Green Arrow back, wow!
Oliver: Nicely played. I just started asking myself who knew about Lex, about Toyman, the things I'd given up, what I tried to do. Then it all occurred to me. Dinah shattered the glass in the warehouse, Bart rescued me from the car, Victor faked the computers, and Watchtower kept an eye on the whole thing. Right?
I did NOT see this coming. So the rest of the league was in all of this?? wow.
Chloe: you were living like you had a death wish Oliver. You had to face your demons if you were ever gonna make it out alive, and I had to push you over the ledge in order to pull you back.
Who is this Chloe?! I'm stunned. I think I love her.
Oliver: did you have to push with a 3 ton truck?
Chloe: I didn't think a tricycle would be a strong enough point. You're a fighter, Oliver. You fought for yourself and for a second chance.
I can't figure out this new Chloe, I honestly can't. She's so different than the Chloe from last season, but I think I like her more, she's making me interested in the character once again, I wanna see what is she going to be capable of doing next.
Oliver: I'm not the only one you put at risk.
Chloe: if you're worried about our little club and Lex, don't be. I played my cards close to my chest.
Oliver: And Lois was what? she was just another ace up your sleeve?
Chloe: No, I never meant for her to get involved. She was chasing after you when she accidentally ended up storming the field. That's when Victoria went off script
Seriously Chloe, do you know Lois AT ALL?!
Oliver: I could have killed her.
Chloe: no offence to your manhood, but I made sure that your gun was loaded with blanks just in case.
Chloe is starting to remind me of Tess, she's freaking me out
Chloe: I trust you, Oliver, it's just... not that much.
Oliver: Did Clark know about this?
Are you kidding?, he would have had a heart attack. I wouldn't be surprised if Chloe waited to tell him about Alia 'till that moment so he had to visit Jor-El while her plan unfolded.
Chloe: you can't be serious. Clark would never, in a million years risk what needed to be done.
Oliver: well, he's lead a different life than we have, hasn't he? I can't expect him to know me like you do.
No, Clark is a sane person Ollie.
Oliver: The places that I had sunk to, the depths you must have had to go to bring me back. Thank you.
Chloe: you proved it to yourslef. Even with your face in the gutter, you still had the hero in your heart.
Oliver: you saved my life, Chloe. Both the myth and the man
Yes, alright... I'm convinced. I ship it.
The first thing I thought when Lois walked through the door was "Damn, that coat is pretty!!" lol
Lois: so, what was that about?
Oliver: Oh-oh, I've seen that look before, usually right before you sock me in the jaw.
LOL @ Ollie's face, all the Smallville men know to step back when the Lane warth is directed at them, and this are men who fight evil on regular basis.
Lois: tempted. But if you're unconscious, you can't answer any questions like who the hell was that dragon lady?
Oliver: okay, she was a psycho ex-girlfriend who watched "fatal attraction" too many times.
Why do this people keep lying to Lois?! she knows he's the Green Arrow, couldn't he invent her something more hero-related?
Lois: So what am I, the bunny? Oliver, you really need to take a dip in the sane-chick pool. I mean, that dress... that was a bigger red scare than cold war Russia.
I don't know if Oliver can do "sane-chick", if Tess is any indication of that... Dinah is cool but she put on fisher nets and fights evil, and even though there's no romance, Chloe's not that sane either.
Oliver: although I thought you wore it pretty well.
Why is she smiling at him like that? don't smile at him like that, that smile is for Clark only!! (breathe Vero, breathe, and repeat *theyareonlyfriendstheyareonlyfriendstheyareonlyfriends*)
Oliver: But you never should have been dragged into this mess I made of my life, and I'm sorry.
Lois: was the mess so bad that cleaning it up seemed harder than throwing it all away?
It usually is, isn't it? when there's a mess, right after a party, you wish you had used plastic cups to throw them away instead of having to wash hundreds and hundreds of glasses. The difference is that when we care about ourselves and the rest we want to use the good china
instead of carton plates. Look at me, making life analogies like a pro
Lois: I saw the video. That's enough to send anyone on a binge. Why didn't you come talk to me?
Oliver: Pride. Fear. And regret. Lois, the truth is, I've been fighting my demons for so long I just... wanted this war to end.
Lois: and you felt like there was nothing in life worth fighting for?
Oliver: I never felt that way when I was with you.
What is a girl to do when a guy like Oliver tells you that, while the other idiot goes around standing her up and keeping things from her. I don't ship this two, but if she wanted to get back together with him I would understand her, at least as a woman, as a shipper I'd be pissed :P.
Oliver: I mean... I just, I think what I mean is I... I lost sight of what was good in my life. I know things between you and me have changed, right?
Lois: some things haven't changed. Ollie, I will always be here for you.
Yes, I love Lois and Oliver friendship, and things are finally over, I mean... not that I thoughts things weren't over before, their talk in Bride set the begining for this new and very wonderful friendship, but with Oliver's trip to hell he started thinking about her again because, like he said, those were better times, times when he didn't feel lost. I think Oliver understood that now, that it's not that he's still in love with her, it's just that when you fall in love for real, the first time, you never forget it, specially when it was a good relationship like this two had
Lois: And if you forget that again... I will knock you out.
XD
Lois: now, I believe there's a certain birthday tradition we have to uphold.
Oliver: aaah
Lois: ready to get your ass kicked?
Oliver: I'm ready
I wonder if when Lois and Clark finally get together they'll keep this tradition
So, back to the Puppet Master and the Watchtower set (damn, i love this set, I could totally live in a place like that)
Why did Clark thought Kandor had exploded?, Kara told him last season that she had heard rumors that Kandor had survived the explosion, and how does Chloe know so much about krypton anyway, is it from her time as Brainiac?
Yes! finally Clark discovers we've been invaded kandorians! bring on the Zod/Clark face off.
I was expecting Batman. I'm so glad Green Arrow is back. I wish Ollie starts growing a bear and a moustache soon, he'd look so hot with that look... well, Ollie could put a bag over his head and he'd still look hot :P
Oliver: you do know, of course, you look absolutely ridiculous in that, right? And I got a great tailor. Hook you up with a little color, maybe.
Yes Ollie, please... drag Clark to your super tailor, he needs to be Red and Blue again! That long coat has to go.
I loved this scene with both our heroes :D, the heroes are brigning sexy BACK.
That's that, not much to say. I can't say I was really into this episode that much, even though it was a great episode, I'm glad Oliver's finally back, one more episode of his trip into the dark side would have been too much, plus Clark needs someone to tell him he has a horrible taste on Super-hero clothing. I wish we would have gotten a make outup Clois scene though, but I understand the focus on this episode was Oliver. I have to admit it's hard for me to follow when the focus is not put on Clark.
I'll see you guys next week with "Crossfire"... SO.EXITED!

Everything about Oliver's story seems weird to me, I don't know, it's like I don't buy it. The girl keeps asking who did he hurt so badly, and my mind goes back to Lex, but I know the answer can't be that easy. Ollie then makes a speech of hurting everyone he loves and the girl gets shot. The Police come and the once white suit is all dirty and cover in blood, Ollie gets shot with a electricity thingy and passes out. All in All, not Oliver Queen's best day.
Lois: Pants on, birthday boy. Party train's arrived
Clark: Lois, I think people would prefer "knock" over "pants on"
Look at him, trying to teach Lois some manners.
Have I told you guys how happy I am the fugly red jacket is gone? the black one looks much better, but a part of me feels like the grey t-shirt and the black jacket are the new blue-tshirt and red jacket *sigh*
Clark: we've already checked his jet and his apartment. Unless he's under the couch... looks like his party train already left the station
Lois: without me on board? doubtful
I asume they were looking for Oliver the entire night, does
this people ever sleep? I know Clark doesn't need as much asleep as the rest of us, but what about Lois?
Clark: Lois, why don't you let me take you home?
Lois: yes!
how does she know his password? the first word had four letters... was his password "LoisLane" or something?
Lois: why would Oliver want to relive the night someone tried to hidenburg him?
Clark: Lois, we should respect his privacy.
Why is it that every time Clark tells her something he says her name? that's kind of dorky.
LOL at her smacking his hand away
Lois: I can't imagine what he was going through just standing there. He looks like he didn't even know the bomb got defused. But then why is he... Oh my God! he didn't know. Oliver tried to kill himself.
Clark: Lois, come on.
Lois: and you knew.
Oh oh, not good
Lois: Clark, how could you keep something this serious from me?
Clark: I was trying to protect him
Lois: from who? his friends?
Clark: Lois, wait. I didn't think he wanted anyone to know.
Lois: well, I'm not just anyone.
Of course you're not Lois, tell her Clark... TELL HER!! stupid farmboy ¬¬
Lois: Clark, you lied to me. You lied right to my face. You said everything was fine. No, nothing about this is fine.
I don't like it when Lois is hurt and dissapointed of Clark.
Also, I love Clois banter but their real fights make me nervous, don't know why. I see why Lois feels so hurt by Clark's omision, Oliver is a close friend, she obviously care about him a lot, plus being the one left out of everything that happens in this damn show gets old at some point.
So, apparently unaffected by Lois' pain (damn you Kent) Clark pinks the Roulette napkin. I have NO idea how that made it into Ollie's office, but let's forget about it and move on.
FBI shows up and Oliver goes back to be treated as he's used to. So, this guys tells him about the game, Oliver's already seen the lengths this people are willing to go, and the guys tells him the goal is to steal the money from the wealthy. Then gives him a computer to check on his account and even I could smell the trick from behind my computer screen, it was OBVIOUS what was going to happen. Also, damn, Ollie has a looot of money. Or had.
In the comics Oliver lost all of his money once, right? I think taking that road would be interesting, but who would pay for Chloe's toys.
Clarkie finds Oliver, and Clark looks like he's wearing a dress. I don't like that coat, he should wear his black jacket.
Chloe shows up on minute 24 of the episode... wow, she keeps getting shorter and shorter screen time, doesn't she?
They ask Chloe to look into the game and she quickly finds Roulette, even Oliver was surprised.
Oliver: Chloe, get my gear
Chloe: Oliver, when you turned your back on us, I locked up your arsenal, hoping that one day you would want it back, but not like this
Yay! I thought it was weird that Oliver only had one Green Arrow suit, I'm glad it wasn't lost on that stupid fire he made.
Oliver says he's going to fix this on his own, with his lawyers, but the game is far from over, isn't it? I mean, we are in minute 25, we still have 15 more minutes of plot :P
Chloe tells Clark he has bigger problems than letting his friend go, even though he recently had a fight with Lois over said friend and he's in the middle of a life or death game. Yes, I think whatever Chloe has to say to him is more important than Oliver *sigh*
Chloe's been hacking on everybody and their mother's computers and she found the video Lois saw a couple of minutes ago.
Clark: Oliver was watching this on his laptop. It's a long story about Lois and laundry and lacy things.
LMAO, 11 shark movies, tons and tons of candies and the one thing that stick to his memory are the "lacy things". Kal El from Krypton, ladies and gentlemans, vulnerable to kryptonite and Lois Lane's underwear.
Chloe: Lois saw this video.
Clark: Not only it, but me on it (and now she's mad at me *pouts*)
Chloe: okay, so on a scale from one to chernobyl, how big was the fallout?
Clark: let's just say if there was an antilife equation, I think I found it *pouts*
Anti-life equation!? OH MY GOD DARKSEID!! for those of you not familiar with this equation from the DC universe, you can read about it here in wikipedia. That made the geek inside of me smile
So, Alia was in the party and not even Chloe understands how a person from the future who died in the present aparently is alive in the present because she still hasn't lived the future the other her came from... damn time traveling is confusing! Clark expects Jor-El explains it him and hope he does it with cute drawings.
Lois insults someone over the phone and finds Oliver's car. See, people this is why you should tell Lois stuff, when you don't she goes to try and find things for herself gets in trouble. Clark should have called her to tell her "Oliver is fine, please forgive me or I'll pout again", but NOOOO he's too busy trying to understand the time traveling issue.
Lois kicks all kind of ass again, yet is not enough because this dragon tatooed girl ends up pointing a gun at her head, cheater. Wasn't she dead? It looks like Erica doesn't uses a stun double on this fights scene, damn this woman rocks!
Ollie walks all bloody and dirty into the club while holding a gun, and I knew the woman sitting there was Lois, I just knew it.
Crazy chick shows up, she explain him the game, blah blah blah and she starts shooting.
Lois: shoot her (or soooot'er)
Oliver: she knows I won't, not if there's a chance I'd hit you.
Damn, now the girl spread the place with gasoline, this episode sure is getting thrilling, now I'm all hooked. Here I am thinking "this is when Clark will show up and save the day, show up Clark, SHOW UP!!" then I remember this last 2 episodes have been Oliver-ville, plus Clark can be a bit think so I'm sure Jor-El is bringing the apples and oranges to explain him time travel.
Lois gets kocked out, it had been too long since the last time she lost conscience. I'm not going to go on how she just passed out from falling off the chair, while two episodes ago Zombie!Tess threw her all the way across a room and she didn't faint. Move on.
Crazy chick seems to be trapped under a wall and the hero is reborn (about damn time Ollie). I seriously yelled "what the fuck" when she stood up and put out the fire.
Roulette: you kept asking me who did this to you. My question was always the answer, "who did you destroy?" I hear you're some sort of hero, one that tried to bury that part of himself. You've just proven that that hero is still alive Oliver. Now it's time to resurect him.
So this whole scheme was to bring Green Arrow back, wow!
Oliver: Nicely played. I just started asking myself who knew about Lex, about Toyman, the things I'd given up, what I tried to do. Then it all occurred to me. Dinah shattered the glass in the warehouse, Bart rescued me from the car, Victor faked the computers, and Watchtower kept an eye on the whole thing. Right?
I did NOT see this coming. So the rest of the league was in all of this?? wow.
Chloe: you were living like you had a death wish Oliver. You had to face your demons if you were ever gonna make it out alive, and I had to push you over the ledge in order to pull you back.
Who is this Chloe?! I'm stunned. I think I love her.
Oliver: did you have to push with a 3 ton truck?
Chloe: I didn't think a tricycle would be a strong enough point. You're a fighter, Oliver. You fought for yourself and for a second chance.
I can't figure out this new Chloe, I honestly can't. She's so different than the Chloe from last season, but I think I like her more, she's making me interested in the character once again, I wanna see what is she going to be capable of doing next.
Oliver: I'm not the only one you put at risk.
Chloe: if you're worried about our little club and Lex, don't be. I played my cards close to my chest.
Oliver: And Lois was what? she was just another ace up your sleeve?
Chloe: No, I never meant for her to get involved. She was chasing after you when she accidentally ended up storming the field. That's when Victoria went off script
Seriously Chloe, do you know Lois AT ALL?!
Oliver: I could have killed her.
Chloe: no offence to your manhood, but I made sure that your gun was loaded with blanks just in case.
Chloe is starting to remind me of Tess, she's freaking me out
Chloe: I trust you, Oliver, it's just... not that much.
Oliver: Did Clark know about this?
Are you kidding?, he would have had a heart attack. I wouldn't be surprised if Chloe waited to tell him about Alia 'till that moment so he had to visit Jor-El while her plan unfolded.
Chloe: you can't be serious. Clark would never, in a million years risk what needed to be done.
Oliver: well, he's lead a different life than we have, hasn't he? I can't expect him to know me like you do.
No, Clark is a sane person Ollie.
Oliver: The places that I had sunk to, the depths you must have had to go to bring me back. Thank you.
Chloe: you proved it to yourslef. Even with your face in the gutter, you still had the hero in your heart.
Oliver: you saved my life, Chloe. Both the myth and the man
Yes, alright... I'm convinced. I ship it.
The first thing I thought when Lois walked through the door was "Damn, that coat is pretty!!" lol
Lois: so, what was that about?
Oliver: Oh-oh, I've seen that look before, usually right before you sock me in the jaw.
LOL @ Ollie's face, all the Smallville men know to step back when the Lane warth is directed at them, and this are men who fight evil on regular basis.
Lois: tempted. But if you're unconscious, you can't answer any questions like who the hell was that dragon lady?
Oliver: okay, she was a psycho ex-girlfriend who watched "fatal attraction" too many times.
Why do this people keep lying to Lois?! she knows he's the Green Arrow, couldn't he invent her something more hero-related?
Lois: So what am I, the bunny? Oliver, you really need to take a dip in the sane-chick pool. I mean, that dress... that was a bigger red scare than cold war Russia.
I don't know if Oliver can do "sane-chick", if Tess is any indication of that... Dinah is cool but she put on fisher nets and fights evil, and even though there's no romance, Chloe's not that sane either.
Oliver: although I thought you wore it pretty well.
Why is she smiling at him like that? don't smile at him like that, that smile is for Clark only!! (breathe Vero, breathe, and repeat *theyareonlyfriendstheyareonlyfriendstheyareonlyfriends*)
Oliver: But you never should have been dragged into this mess I made of my life, and I'm sorry.
Lois: was the mess so bad that cleaning it up seemed harder than throwing it all away?
It usually is, isn't it? when there's a mess, right after a party, you wish you had used plastic cups to throw them away instead of having to wash hundreds and hundreds of glasses. The difference is that when we care about ourselves and the rest we want to use the good china
instead of carton plates. Look at me, making life analogies like a pro
Lois: I saw the video. That's enough to send anyone on a binge. Why didn't you come talk to me?
Oliver: Pride. Fear. And regret. Lois, the truth is, I've been fighting my demons for so long I just... wanted this war to end.
Lois: and you felt like there was nothing in life worth fighting for?
Oliver: I never felt that way when I was with you.
What is a girl to do when a guy like Oliver tells you that, while the other idiot goes around standing her up and keeping things from her. I don't ship this two, but if she wanted to get back together with him I would understand her, at least as a woman, as a shipper I'd be pissed :P.
Oliver: I mean... I just, I think what I mean is I... I lost sight of what was good in my life. I know things between you and me have changed, right?
Lois: some things haven't changed. Ollie, I will always be here for you.
Yes, I love Lois and Oliver friendship, and things are finally over, I mean... not that I thoughts things weren't over before, their talk in Bride set the begining for this new and very wonderful friendship, but with Oliver's trip to hell he started thinking about her again because, like he said, those were better times, times when he didn't feel lost. I think Oliver understood that now, that it's not that he's still in love with her, it's just that when you fall in love for real, the first time, you never forget it, specially when it was a good relationship like this two had
Lois: And if you forget that again... I will knock you out.
XD
Lois: now, I believe there's a certain birthday tradition we have to uphold.
Oliver: aaah
Lois: ready to get your ass kicked?
Oliver: I'm ready
I wonder if when Lois and Clark finally get together they'll keep this tradition
So, back to the Puppet Master and the Watchtower set (damn, i love this set, I could totally live in a place like that)
Why did Clark thought Kandor had exploded?, Kara told him last season that she had heard rumors that Kandor had survived the explosion, and how does Chloe know so much about krypton anyway, is it from her time as Brainiac?
Yes! finally Clark discovers we've been invaded kandorians! bring on the Zod/Clark face off.
I was expecting Batman. I'm so glad Green Arrow is back. I wish Ollie starts growing a bear and a moustache soon, he'd look so hot with that look... well, Ollie could put a bag over his head and he'd still look hot :P
Oliver: you do know, of course, you look absolutely ridiculous in that, right? And I got a great tailor. Hook you up with a little color, maybe.
Yes Ollie, please... drag Clark to your super tailor, he needs to be Red and Blue again! That long coat has to go.
I loved this scene with both our heroes :D, the heroes are brigning sexy BACK.
That's that, not much to say. I can't say I was really into this episode that much, even though it was a great episode, I'm glad Oliver's finally back, one more episode of his trip into the dark side would have been too much, plus Clark needs someone to tell him he has a horrible taste on Super-hero clothing. I wish we would have gotten a make outup Clois scene though, but I understand the focus on this episode was Oliver. I have to admit it's hard for me to follow when the focus is not put on Clark.
I'll see you guys next week with "Crossfire"... SO.EXITED!
