The Event, Chase, Glee, Sons of Anarchy, and more SV Thoughts

[jeannev]

I'm not sure how to do that mutiple cuts thingie for each show (one day, I might not be a LJ moron anymore). So, I'm just going to put all my thoughts under a cut.  Starting off with something I wrote about the SV ep Lazarus, with references to last seasons finale, Salvation.  Just to elaborate on a big issue I had with the episode.

Comments

Will come back to leave a proper comment, but about the LJ cut thing, all you have to do is highlight the paragraphs you want to put under a cut before clicking the "LJ cut" button, instead of highlighting everything. That way, you can put separate paragraphs under different cuts.

Are you familiar with HTML? That might make things a bit simpler, because then you just manually add the LJ cut tags (<*lj-cut text="whatever you want this part to say"> in the beginning and <*/lj-cut> at the end, without the asterisks, of course), and repeat as necessary for different paragraphs.

Hope that didn't confuse you too much! :)

Thanks. I don't use HTML, and thats probably my biggest problem. I should practice with some fake posts, just to see if I can get the hang of it.

Look forward to your comments later. :)

I think you already know that I agree with everything you said regarding Clark's sacrifice/Jor-El being a dick etc

Oh...one more comment on Quinn.

Are we supposed to think that there were truly no repercussions for her giving up that beautiful baby? Quinn and Puck had a rather touching moment there in the season finale when she asked him if he truly loved her. What happened with that? Is she sad that she gave up the baby or are we just supposed to think that she's happy being a cheerleader again. It makes no sense.

[jeannev]

I agree with you that Quinn doesn't have the best voice. And frankly, I understand why she doesn't get a lot of solo's. But what I don't understand is why they drop the ball on her storyline so often, and I keep thinking that they do that so she doesn't overshadow Lea Michele. We don't really know why Quinn wanted to go back to the Cheerios. We don't know where her feelings for Puck stand (and we never really got a straight story on Quinn and Puck last season either

The only show I watch here is Smallville, and the spoilers especially for Supergirl that is even in doubt. I stood up and cheered when Clark sacrificed himself and found a wonderful solution to the Kandorian problem. Finally I thought that these writers were behind their main protagonist silly me right. Two days after the episode aired I listened to some spec on Superverses talk radio; about how the BOR Clark used was really a boom tube to send the Kandorians away and how that could make way for Darkseid. (the reasoning was that the BOR did not look like the BOR in the drawing of it) I dismissed the spec because I thought the writers finally found respect for Clark and his point of view and would not pull a stunt like this; nope I became what I said I would never be again Charlie Brown to their Lucy

[jeannev]

I think the show playing Lucy with the football to our Charlie Brown is a very apt analogy.

I think thats why I turned cynical on this season awfully fast, and with not much information. Because the crumbs we were getting were pointing to this direction, and the negation of Clark's actions in Salvation, and that was just another breaking point for me. Much like Doomsday, and the arrow in the back, and all that was for me one year ago. I just can't watch this show and hope for anything.

And it makes me sad how much of SV fandom is fine with what they do to Clark.

I think in general you just have to learn to put your head in the sand and forget alot of crappy writing for Clark in general. You can point this problem(of bad Clark writing) way back to the first time Jor-El was a jackass and made Clark life a living hell in Exodus and it just got worse since then.

I really don't know what the producers thought they proved in Lazarus but that one scene definantly didn't mesh with the rest of the episode which had it's good points

I wish when Al/Miles left the WB just went out and got people who are more inclinded to do comic books then producers who seem better fit to write soap operas to do the show

[jeannev]

I know putting your hand in the sand is the best way to watch this show, but Damn It! I can't. Its, like, against my religon, or something. LOL

I was really hoping that other people would take over when AlMiles left. I was hoping for Jeph Loeb, or Mark Verheiden.

No surprise re: SV, but reassuring all the same. Helps me to not feel so crazy, and alone on my SV island. :) I do wonder if they realize how ironic that line from Clark was. But I doubt it. After all, someone wrote Oliver a line about always having Clark's back in Kandor, and I very much doubt they appreciated the irony there either.

I think there was a real miscalculation with Lone Star. I think they really thought that people were going to like the lead. But, really, it appears most people thought he was a scumbag. The show might've played better on cable, I think. Then they could've thrown in some graphic sex scenes, and curse words, and people might have found reasons to watch it.

THANK YOU for liking Chase. Its you and me pal :) I do not understand the nastiness aimed at this show. I'd take 5 Chase's to one Lone Star.

Didn't watch NOF last night. The premise just didn't click for me.
