#8-08 "Bloodline" Review.

Nov 11, 2008 21:25

It seems like I keep skipping over odd-numbered episode reviews. It's totally unintentional, because I really loved Committed and Identity. Oh well. Onto the Bloodline review!

Nice review, and I love the visuals.

I wish I could say more, but I'm tired from making chocolate chip cookies, and I'm peeved with SV at the moment. I have this terrible feelings that PS3 are going to blow my wonderful Clark season. :(

*pats* What were you making chocolate chip cookies for?

I know the feeling. I'm worried about Clark *and* Lois. :(

I had to take "Monty" for a test run. "Monty" is ny new Kitchenaid mixer. I just got him, and he's very handsome. So, we made chocolate chip cookies together.

Yes, I named my mixer. :)

Wow, first of all, I have to say ... awesome review! I'm kinda in awe of it. It's all professional looking and with quotes and pictures and everything! So cool! :D

I love that you go by characters too. :D

The Clark/Kara scenes were very sweet. I think they did a good job of explaining her absence. Clark & Lois at the Phantom Zone was adorable.

I loved how he talked her down from her freakout with the "No one's gonna mess with Lois and Clark." line. He talks about them like they're a unit!

ME TOO! That's one of my favorite lines in this episode. :D

Yay for liking Oliver and the Clark/Ollie part. They both make me ridiculously happy and I liked how Clark mentioned that everyone seems to have a key to the place. :)

I thought ED did an amazing job as Faora, although I was not a fan of the mom-hair. ME TOO! It was like Tom playing both Bizarro and Clark. You could totally see a shift in acting. I did like her hair though. LOL ( ... )

Thank you! It took me a few hours actually. I'm ashamed to say that. lol.

I look forward to "Bride" but 'm so not excited about 11-14. :\ Hopefully PS3 doesn't let us down too bad! They're doing well so far! :D

Sigh. I hear you there. I fear for the second half of this season, because I already know a lot of it is going to suck, and suck hard.

I'm loving you more and more. I actually liked Identity more, but that's just because if all of Bloodline involved Lois and Clark in the Phantom Zone and then the ramifications of them getting out in the next episode, then that would've been two awesome episodes (like Exile and Phoenix). Anywho, I did love the Clois and the Clark and Kara stuff. I'm not a Chloe fan by any stretch, but her storyline is the most interesting it's been since Season 3. I'm also finding the changes in Doomsday's backstory fascinating and plausible if it were an Elseworld comic.

And yes, Oliver is SV!Clark's Bruce, and since I'm a Clark/Bruce shipper (my comic!OTP if you will) and I do enjoy the slashiness of Collie, then it works.

Clark has a lot of rich sugar daddies, doesn't he? Lex, Oliver, Bruce... It must be because he's so pretty. The billionaires can't resist! :)

That was great!

He also seemed amused while teasing Lois about being her knight in shining armor. :)
I thought he looked amused and pleased as well.

She does seem to want into his pants, though, and that's kind of worrying.
I'm glad it wasn't just me getting that vibe.

Stay out of his pants, lady! There's only room in there for Lois. And sometimes Oliver.
Ha! :-)

I also love that she and Clark used to have Guitar Hero weekends.
My one issue with this: Did Guitar Hero exist when Lois was living on the farm during Seasons Four and Five?

I really wished we could've seen them living together again for just one episode, just for the wacky hijinx.
I was also hoping for another "catching each other in the shower" type moment...

LOL at the way Ollie waved to Clark.
I thought that was really cute.

Sam Witwer has an amazing body.
I don't know why, but he just doesn't do it for me...

And I'm pretty sure they just flat out ( ... )

I just checked. The first Guitar Hero was released on November 8, 2005. Technically, Lois moved out of the Kent Farm for good on November 3, 2005. But really, I don't think the writers bothered to check. :P

I don't know why, but he just doesn't do it for me...

Yeah, he really doesn't do it for me either, but I can't deny a smokin' body when I see one. :)

Why should they let a little thing like details bog them down? ;-) That was very investigative reporter-y of you to find that info. Thanks! :-)

//I still don't understand why Tess gave Lois a raise, though. Was she impressed by her or scared of her? This totally went over my head. Someone please explain it to me!//

I didn't get that either. Plot contrivance, perhaps? To facilitate Lois not moving in with Clark after all.

I agree with you about Kara' send off. It wasn't cheesy to me at all, and it was rather fitting actually, that her final shot of her last ep was her flying off - determined. Much like her final shot was from her first ep.

And completely agreed about Clark and Lois in the PZ. Those were some great scenes.
