I thought this episode was like Stiletto in how I thought it was gonna be terrible, and I found it surprisingly enjoyable and meta?!














EEEEEE TWO-SHOTTTTTT.

I love how Clark is like, "Baaaaaw I have romcom hijinks to deal with! How will I ever handle the plot! Oh no!" and Chloe is like, "Chill the fuck out, I got this!"

YEAH SHE DOES.

...in Offscreensville. Bye, Chloe. Have fun with the plot. :(





This was just pretty. Boobs, blood, and backlighting: APPARENTLY A WINNING COMPOSITIONAL COMBO






Is she wearing Lana's stupid wig from Bizarro?

LOL FOREVER.






I love that they are continuing with Tess' marine biology roots and her still trying to save the planet a little bit at a time.

I bet she maimed the first person on the mansion staff she caught not recycling as an example to everyone.

Also, she looks super hot in that dress!






I lol'ed at Clark doing his sound check. It's so rare for Clark to get called on being an idiot these days, I take it where I can get it even if it's for something as minor as this.

So Clark fills out an online dating survey that is supposed to put you with your perfect match. He ends up with a hot blonde who is crazy smart and wants to save the world.

HMMMMM.

I'm guessing Cat was lying on her survey in some weird attempt to get the job? I hope she shows up again, I wanna see what SV's version of Cat Grant is really like!







Tess: still hot.






O HAI I HAVE JUST SLATHERED MY SHIRTLESS SELF IN OIL AND AM JUST CHILLING AT MY DESK. THE LIFE OF A CEO IS SOOOO TAXING.

I really keep expecting porno music to play. It's just so ridiculous!





I found AM's delivery in this episode strangely Buffy-like…?

Also digging the new shot of Watchtower, it looks less unbelievable.






Another watch? Ollie has one too!





"You've got ten minutes to explain yourself."

"Well, I'm only gonna need one. Because there's really only one reason why I came here.
I never finished saying what it is that I loved about you."

"...okay..."

"Let me just skip to the end: the thing I love about you the most is that you're still in my life.
Because you're still in my heart."

"Check, please."







"You know, I went to a really dark place, Lois.
I think it took going there and coming back for me to realize...
You're the best part of my life."





"Well, I'm happy you know what you want.
I guess it just hurts knowing it's not me."

"I am so sorry."

"Good night, Lois."


…OMG he really really really loves her. I can't get over how much. HE LOVES HOW SHE CALLS OUT FOOTBALL PLAYS IN HER SLEEP!

THIS SCENE WAS SO GOOD. I KIND OF LOVE THEM. And while so far this year I've basically been like, "lol, try harder to make me love Ollie so you can try for your stupid spinoff, show, it isn't gonna fly after the shit he pulled last year! I hate him and will always hate him!"

Except this was one of the most unabashedly romantic scenes ever on the show (the lighting! the face touching! the forehead kissing!) and she shot him down and he was totally graceful about it as his heart was breaking and and and...

HE WAS TOTALLY CHLOE IN "DEVOTED" HERE :(

DAMN YOU, SHOW! YOU MADE ME LIKE HIM A LITTLE JUST WITH THIS SCENE.

Also, I'm trying to think of a show where the couple with the most forehead kissing wasn't a show OTP. I AM COMING UP BLANK.

The fact that Clark listened to that grand speech and yet came out of it basically going, "BUT HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ALL ABOUT MEEEEE?" is…so expected, but still… *headdesk*






"I'm all about embracing life right now. Not trying to end it."

"Good."

"You know what I mean? Trying to take the right kind of chances.
And you, my friend, were definitely a chance worth taking."

"Thank you."





WTF?!?!?!






OH CRY MOAR CLARK. HONESTLY. NOBODY CARES.





Ugh, Cassidy is SO BEAUTIFUL. And Tess is SO AWESOME.








CLARK: Chloooooe! I inexplicably have all these feelings for this friend. But I also have this other friend, who also has feelings for the same person I do! All of us are friends! And we have all these crazy feelings! All three of us! It's so confusing! What do you think I should do?

CHLOE: I think you should shut up while I'm dealing with the plot.

CLARK: Oh, why am I even asking you, you couldn't possibly understand where I'm coming from.

CHLOE: …

CLARK: But, bottom line is, I know Ollie just tried to kill himself like a week ago and just poured his feelings out for his ex, demonstrating that they are considerably deeper than my own feelings for her. Do you think he might consider me mildly insensitive if I go and make out with her now without talking to him about it?

CHLOE: Personally speaking, I know I've decided to start approaching our relationship by assuming you'll be as much of a jerk as possible at every opportunity that presents itself, so--

CLARK: I'M TAKING THAT AS A "YES CLARK GO STICK YOUR TONGUE DOWN MY COUSIN'S THROAT WITH MY BLESSING."

CHLOE: Yeah, I somehow just thought you might.

CLARK: GONNA GO DISLOCATE MY JAW NOW BYE!






BADASS.





ALSO BADASS.






And yeah, I agree with chiri_chan that this was originally meant to be the final shot of the episode.

I think it would have worked so much better that way, though as it was I felt like the kiss had a kind of creepy foreboding vibe even without the montage song playing over it…

And I don't care about the kiss so this would be where I end it, except for...




VIEWERS PREFER THE BLONDE LOL.

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.

CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS WEEK'S, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE SUPER SUPER PRETTY.

(YOU GUYYYYYS! THEY BROUGHT BACK THE WINE CELLAR! THE WINE CELLAR IS SOOOO PRETTY!
I AM EXCITED FOR OTHER REASONS BUT FROM A PICSPAM POINT OF VIEW I AM HOPING FOR BEAUTIFUL WINE CELLAR SHOTS!)

[angryscientist.livejournal.com]

SO PRETTY!

Chloe and Tess, mostly ;) Then the warm lighting in the DP Chlark scene and the Watchtower, blue screen behind Chloe... and blue Metropolis when Tess raises her coffee at Zod, lovely blues!

Thank you :)

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

AM and CF look sooo gorgeous this season. CF's makeup looks way better than last year and they're leaving her hair down more, I love it. :D

[lacylaces.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous picspam. Thanks for sharing!

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

CLARK: Chloooooe! I inexplicably have all these feelings for this friend. But I also have this other friend, who also has feelings for the same person I do! All of us are friends! And we have all these crazy feelings! All three of us! It's so confusing! What do you think I should do?

CHLOE: I think you should shut up while I'm dealing with the plot.

CLARK: Oh, why am I even asking you, you couldn't possibly understand where I'm coming from.

CHLOE: …

Lol! You hit the nail on the head. :)

The Pretty Woman-like pic seems to be more of a reference to Oliver-Mia's plot: handsome billionaire rescues hooker.

The smiling pic of Clark when he sees Cat is my favorite. TW has such a beautiful smile.

Thank you for sharing. Your insights are always fun and interesting.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Lol! You hit the nail on the head. :)

He is such an insensitive asshat, lol.

TW has such a beautiful smile.

He does! I miss seeing it more often.

[steefvaniersel.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all the pretty!!

[massena1.livejournal.com]

I clicked for the pretty. I wasn't disappointed. Thanks.

[peachmacaroons.livejournal.com]

WHY IS ALLISON SO BEAUTIFUL?!?!?!?!?! So much pretty in this.

Fuck Clark. He's a Superdouche of Douchetropolis.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I DON'T KNOW BUT SHE IS.

Fuck Clark. He's a Superdouche of Douchetropolis.

LOL THIS.

[chiri-chan.livejournal.com]

I thought this episode was like Stiletto in how I thought it was gonna be terrible, and I found it surprisingly enjoyable and meta?!

That happened to me too.

EEEEEE TWO-SHOTTTTTT.

Like, s1-s7 era two-shot. If it's not building, then their directors do not know what they are doing.

Is she wearing Lana's stupid wig from Bizarro?

Yes, she is. :D Everyone wants to be Chloe! I think Mia works it better.

So Clark fills out an online dating survey that is supposed to put you with your perfect match. He ends up with a hot blonde who is crazy smart and wants to save the world.

HMMMMM.

I KNOW, RIGHT?!

I actually don't think Cat is lying. Nois si more like current, skanky Cat Grant, but this Cat I see more as a throw back to 1980's cat when she was likable and smart. Likewise, this Cat will never be competition for Nois, but could very well be competition for Chloe.

…OMG he really really really loves her. I can't get over how much.

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! It was so Devoted. I was like "But Ollie's love MUST be requited!" They had chemistry dripping off the film, so I'm hopeful.

But Clark didn't hear this - Nois turns off her ear piece before they have the heart to heart - so as far as Clark knows, she left to go get busy.

BADASS ....ALSO BADASS

This is truth.

And yeah, I agree with chiri_chan that this was originally meant to be the final shot of the episode.

Yay! It just has that tenor - plus out of the 4 closing scenes, it's the only one with any hope. I think on it's own the kiss was forboding too - but add the song and hello creepy.

VIEWERS PREFER THE BLONDE LOL.

YES, we do!

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

The wig looks SO bad in hi-def. Like you can really tell it's made of plastic. It was bad when Lana wore it too, but...

The show needs moar Chloe and Tess being badass.

[peachmacaroons.livejournal.com]

Also, just watched the Chloe scenes and it's OBVIOUS Tess and Chloe are running the show. Move over Zod!Junior and Clark Kent. The real Luthor and Superman are in the building!

[peachmacaroons.livejournal.com]

Also... because I keep staring at this. Those two end scenes were shot with the same sort of lighting... does this mean Chloe goes bad? Ideas? Of course I have no idea how the Lois/Clark kiss of WTF was lit.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

chiri_chan found the lyrics of the song playing during the final sequences:

No win
No future
No benefit
It's the End Of The World
Grab your crucifix
And fall to your knees
And beg God please
Have mercy on me

So it seems like the final few scenes are consisting of everyone making the choices that lead up to the apocalyptic future.

The kiss was lit really yellow, and they usually only light the DP yellow when bad shit is going down. It was almost like the Chlark scene in Nemesis.

CLARK: Chloooooe! I inexplicably have all these feelings for this friend. But I also have this other friend, who also has feelings for the same person I do! All of us are friends! And we have all these crazy feelings! All three of us! It's so confusing! What do you think I should do?

CHLOE: I think you should shut up while I'm dealing with the plot.

MULTITASKING IS HARD, OKAY.

This is so unbelievably pretty I want to make out with my computer screen. I'll refrain? But it's crossed my mind, I won't lie.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Chloe clearly has worked out some kind of deal where she will handle the entire seasonal arc plot singlehandedly in exchange for not having to listen to Clark whine about his internal soap opera. SHE HAS CHOSEN WISELY.

This is so unbelievably pretty I want to make out with my computer screen. I'll refrain? But it's crossed my mind, I won't lie.
Thanks♥

[khylaa.livejournal.com]

LOVE your screencaps. Your coloring is beautiful!
and your comments entertaining.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :)

[babydee1.livejournal.com]

Mia looks like a poor man's Lady Gaga in that wig, LOL!

Chloe & Tess's Pretty and Badassery deserve a separate mention. As does Clark's douchebaggery in asking her of all people about Cnois relationship advice.

Thanks for another pretty picspam, Meimi - I was beginning to think you'd given up! :-)

VIEWERS PREFER THE BLONDE LOL.

Too right! :-D

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

She looks better than Lana did in it, at least.

I haven't watched since Metally except Chloe's scenes on YouTube. I was really surprised at how much I liked this episode, it was watchable.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous caps :)

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[chaliebrown363.livejournal.com]

Oh these are gorgeous.


Ugh, this show is making me hate Clark so much.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking he's brainwashed now, I'm hoping he's back to being slightly less of a jerk when the real version comes back, lol.

[fishmoon.livejournal.com]

w.. who's the girl with Ollie in the red vinyl and yellow shirt? o_o Or do I even want to know at this point?

Also, Ollie always has that tendency to worm his way back into people's good graces. Regardless of how much of a dick he's been in the past.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Mia.

Um, he "killed" Lex last year because Lex's dad murdered Ollie's parents. Lex was like...eight at the time and had nothing to do with it, but that did not stop Ollie. I can't quite get over it. :(

[fishmoon.livejournal.com]

... t... tha... that's MIA?!

I wonder if she will wind up being the same unfortunate PSA character she's wound up under Winick's direction in GA but agh I like Mia and... and... D:

That's not Mia.

This is Mia:

[chlarkookie.livejournal.com]

oh, yay! picspam!! OMG how much did I miss?! weird new show. Ollie naked in his office wtf, and was the Lollie scene for real? I miss Lollie.

For a moment there I thought Lana was back, wig!! and a watchtower shot! at day!! Pretty... and I ship Chloe + Plot from now on--Chlot FTW.

chlark and tess are pretty, that's it. :D Awesome picspam.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Chloe/Plot seems like a pretty sure bet since she's the only person who seems to care about the plot. I hope the plot cares about her back, nobody else seems to. :(

[cifan70.livejournal.com]

Lollie ♥

I love Lollie. This picspam was awesome. Love your caps and scenes. So much Chlark too.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I love them too! :)

Thanks a lot!

[summerstar882.livejournal.com]

I didn't watch the full episode, first time I've noticed Lois's gown. On top of bringing back Lanan's wig, did they also raid Chloe's wardrobe from Sleeper?

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Lois' dress is short and bluer... Penelope blue, even? Tess wore a blue dress last week too.

[ener.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Tess has been on the HOT radar since this season started. Love her makeup and her evil wardrobe. AM has also been looking pretty this season! Too bad both of them get the least amount of screentime. Jerkbags.

Dude, are they cheap enough that they have to reuse that Lana wig? That is so ridiculous.

Pretty Woman!!! That's where it's from. I paused my DVR on that to try and think of what it spoofed/blatantly ripped off, but I was drawing blanks.

Justin Hartley is fanged too?!

For the love of God, put the bangs back on TW please.

I also had no idea that was the same chick at the end who got the job. I was too busy being like "..." that the kiss really DID have some kind of creepy vibe. I dunno.

But yeah, weren't Chloe and Tess kind of amazing? That's really all I remember from the episode, besides the Ollie stuff. Why do they make Lois and Clark so hard to like?

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

Dude, are they cheap enough that they have to reuse that Lana wig? That is so ridiculous.
THEY NEEDED MONEY FOR EVERY CHARACTER TO HAVE A 3-D HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGE GENERATOR OK.

I don't think his fangs are as cute as TW's.

Yes, the bangs are needed. :(

And she's Cat Grant! I'm really amused/surprised that they sneaked an iconic character in there with no fanfare like that.

CHLOE AND TESS WERE BOTH AMAZING. And this week's episode has no Lois and the webclip they released of Tess and Zod looked amazing (I think he has a little crush on her now that he knows she can kill his minions with her pinky finger or whatever), so I'm hoping both Chloe and Tess have lots of cool things to do this week and less Clark whining, lol.

[shop-gal08.livejournal.com]

Clark is like, "Baaaaaw I have romcom hijinks to deal with! How will I ever handle the plot! Oh no!" and Chloe is like, "Chill the fuck out, I got this!"

The fact that Clark listened to that grand speech and yet came out of it basically going, "BUT HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ALL ABOUT MEEEEE?" is…so expected, but still… *headdesk*


I am laughing so hard at this shit.


Ugh. This is so much like the conversations Chlark had about Clana. But it's hilarious.

CLARK: Oh, why am I even asking you, you couldn't possibly understand where I'm coming from.

CHLOE: …


The screencaps are gorgeous. Thank you.

[christ-chexx-4u.livejournal.com]

LMFAO i havent watched this show in years and still i know enough to know that your commentary is spot-on; especially in regards to clark and chloe. oh, show.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I know right, nothing ever really changes on this show except that it gets worse and worse with time. *g*
