Bloodline Babbling

Nov 09, 2008 03:09

I've watched Bloodline on the tiny screen of my iPod twice and once on TV. Overall, I liked the episode, but there were some issues. I apologize in advance because I think this commentary is even more rambling and random than usual.

( Because I'm me, HELLO! )

//How come when Tess saw the guy passed out or dead on the floor she barely blinked? What was that? I guess she realized that Lois wasn't herself? I'm not sure ( ... )

I can get why she was initially so stand-offish.
I can understand too. I think her thoughts and feelings were justified, but I also think that the writers could have come up with a different reason for why Kara was still in the PZ without making it seem like she was smarter than Clark.

The Davis backstory actually worked for me, as a plausible one, moreover.
I don't know enough about comic book stuff to know exactly what was taken from Doomsday's history and what's been made up by the SV people. I guess I need to do some research. :-)

And what happened with the phantoms was really Raya's fault or mistake, after all, not Clark's

That's right. Blame Raya! :-)

Nice review...Exactly my thoughts!

Yeah I think it was the same shirt but with different tie...In commited it was blue!

I also loved the Chloe/Oliver scene..."did I tell you how you shoot your arrows?, I dont think so." LOL

Tom was so handsome in the PZ...And his performance was breathtaking!

I thought Chloe's line to Oliver about shooting the arrows was funny as well. I also thought that Oliver had several cute/funny moments.

I have to re-watch--for the first time ever (or, well, since coming on LJ), I didn't do a post right after the ep. I don't know what my problem is: I'm enjoying this season, but guess I don't have much to say about it so far.

One thing remains constant, however: TW's beauty!

I'm glad you're enjoying Tom's beauty and I'm sorry that you haven't felt very talkative about Season 8. I think things on SV are always clearer after a rewatch or two.

And its more visuals. Yay!!

I think Kara can be forgiven for having a bit of a 'tude. She had been in the P-Zone for months, and I'm sure thats bound to cause some personality quirks.

Why would Clark send Kara to John Jones for help when she hates him? That was weird.

I think it was a matter of necessity. Kara could zip right over there, and I'm sure given the urgency of the situation, she and MM could put personal animosity aside. And I think it made more sense for Clark to go after Faora, as he couldn't be quite sure what state Kara was in, and how she's handle it. And he probably wanted as little damage done to Lois as possible.

Also, when Clark said the thing about Tess firing him and Tess said that she didn't want to fire him, the way she was looking at him, I felt like she wanted to add, "I do, however, want to strip you naked and lick honey off your entire body." Or maybe that was just meNot just you. I think Tess was giving off some serious sexual vibes there. And Clark, as he has all season, fends them off with ( ... )

I'm glad you like them. Most of the time when I do my review, no one has pictures up yet, but since it took me so long this time...

I think Kara can be forgiven for having a bit of a 'tude.
I think Kara was acting within her rudeness rights. However, I think the writers could have come up with a different reason for keeping Kara there. Maybe when Clark got there, he could have told her about the House of El escape hatch?

I understand the reasoning for sending Kara to see the Martian Manhunter. Maybe he could have warned her who she was looking for though?

Not just you. I think Tess was giving off some serious sexual vibes there. And Clark, as he has all season, fends them off with great maturity.
In this episode, it seems like Clark was kind of oblivious to her advances. Too worried about his secret coming out, perhaps?

I enjoyed reading your thoughts and I love the caps you chose!

Was Clark wearing the same purple shirt/purple tie combo that he had on at the end of Committed? I thought he was, but it could have been a blue shirt, it was hard for me to tell...

See? Those are the questions that I find more intriguing and I'm more willing to investigate. I'll have to re-watch. :D

I'm glad you liked the screencaps!
You're right, these are the important questions we should be picking apart frame by frame. Forget this Doomsday nonsense! ;-)
