It’s Friday!!!
Man. This has been one loooooong week. I think that I got spoiled over the holidays, having three weeks in a row where I had a three day weekend. I’m still having to adjust to working five days per week again.
::: sigh :::
Requiem Game is this weekend. I hope everyone can attend. We’re at the Comfort Inn on Oxmoor Road. It’s a nice, central location for most everyone in the group right now. Plus, being right off of Interstate 65, it shouldn’t be very difficult for any visitors to find the place.
Smallville’s big hyped 100th episode last night was fabulous. I would have know it was if only by Hilchan’s threatening to never watch the show again. Someone big and important to the cast died. After four and a half seasons, I hate to see that character go… but what a way to go.
Beware the spoilers behind the cut…
I loved how they started the episode right off the bat, before the opening credits, with Clark revealing his secret to Lana and then proposing to her after showing her his powers in the Fortress. Amazing. I also liked how they followed both the comics and teven the third Superman movie with him creatinng the diamond in his own hand.
And I was so happy… Lana died! Yes! Finally get rid of that whiney little bitch. She so annoys me. Chloe makes for a better Lana according to the Superman mythos, anyway. But she died halfway through the epsode. I knew that something was gonna change.
So… Clark decide to relive the day even after Jor-El warns him… and Clark doesn’t propose, allowing for the chain of events that led up to Lana’s death to change… but Jor-El told him a life. All Clark did was save Lana so that someone else could die.
And the episode had you guessing… but you could tell by the feel of the show that it was going to be either Lionel Luthor or Jonathan Kent, even ignoring the red herring they tried throwing at you with Lois Lane almost getting killed. And it was Jonathan, again matching the original Superman mythos with the father dying, forcing Clark to grow up. It was very well done, even though you could see it coming. I almost wish that they’d thrown a curveball and Martha died. Something that you didn’t see coming.
::: shrugs ::: Either way. It was great.
So… that’s it for me. I think I may actually try and do some work today.
Tonight’s maybe seeing some friends, and printing out characters for the game tomorrow.
Drop me a line if you need anything.
Later
