Zzzz. I wish I'd stuck by my initial plan not to watch at all until hiatus, I haven't really enjoyed a single episode this season.


Clark: still a moron. But a hot one. Except for his GIANT FOREHEAD.
Can we start a petition to bring back the bangs?

I lol'ed so hard at Tess telling Stuart to RESPECT BOUNDARIES.
You know. By not reading the private medical files she ordered him to illegally hack.

I'm just saying.

I know people were bitching about the barn, but... I actually thought of all the times they redressed the barn set, this one was most successful! (Much better than in Noir when they tried to make it a parking garage!)
Also, the SWF'ing continues, complete with the shirt from the appropriate episode. Fuck you, show.
Oh, and the watch = most terrible anticlimactic reveal EVER. I was vaguely interested in Alia after that moment in the premiere, but now WHO CARES. Also note her lifting a helpless human by the throat. You know. LIKE VILLAINS DO.

"We can work on your apology later."
OH SNAP.


...

Bored now.

"My dad's a general too!"
OMFG CAN'T STOP LAUGHING.
I really don't care about Zod, but if nothing else, I want to make gifs of Callum LIEK WHOA during like...every scene.
He's so over the top in chewing the scenery and TRYING WAY, WAY, WAY TOO HARD and it's unintentionally HILARIOUS. You can totally imagine him offering Tess Australia.
Also, Lois' prom gets retconned AGAIN. In Gone, THE GENERAL apparently made her go with military escort or whatever. In Spirit, she claimed she never went. Now she stole a tank to get there.
No matter which way she tells the story, I STILL DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

A NOTE TO THE MAKEUP ARTIST WHOSE JOB IT IS TO APPLY THE FAKE GLYCERIN TEARS:
You don't cry out of the inside of your eye. You generally cry out of the outside side.
Why the fuck can you never get it right on this show? This is not the first time, and every time it drives me CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY.

Love Tess inwardly squeeing over her dogtags. I LOVE YOU YOU CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY BITCH.

At this point I realized how bored to death I had been by this episode until this moment. O HAI HBIC.


None of them can even look at each other. Ow.


JH actually had an emotion here. ngl, I was slightly impressed.

HOW DID CASSIDY NOT MOVE?!?!?!?!

Clark throws Tess around again. Greeeat.


"I still don't trust you."


I cracked up at Chloe and Ollie's faces at the end.
I would have paid good money for Chloe to tell Lois that Clark was writing a term paper about Zod.
Oh I guess around some point here Clark and Lois fucked but I was paralyzed with not caring very much.
SKIPPING AHEAD...

HAI DOCTOR GAETA


I actually think I almost genuinely enjoyed Ollie this episode.
I would have genuinely enjoyed him if I could forget, as the show wants me to so badly,
that Ollie kind of murdered Lex in cold blood for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
I do kind of want to read AU!Chlollie fic, though! Not really romantically, since I didn't get that vibe,
but just them together in this world all fucked up. IDK.

I SEE YOU, WATCHMEN SET
EVERYONE KNOWS THERE'S ONLY ONE STREET IN METROPOLIS
AND THIS ISN'T IIIIIT





And Ollie gets to go down fighting against some of the worst CG ever.
I have missed the Green Arrow costume, though. Seriously, how fine is that ass? FINE.

CAN'T. STOP. LAUGHING.
And then there was a fight sort of not really (though Clark getting thrown through that one building was pretty awesome) and everyone died and Clark and Lois kissed and it was really boring.
SKIPPING AHEAD...

And then Clark and Lois were all lovey dovey and hand-holding and decided to take it slow, though I don't think she knows "slow" means "no sex ever" in Clarkspeak, and Clark is a fucking moron who has learned nothing from seven years of secreths and lieths, if you think this is really him, which I still don't. Or at least I hope not because I have never hated Clark the way I do now.



AND THEN THIS SCENE WAS PRETTY AND CLARK CONTINUES TO BE A MORON.
"Trying to save Davis was wrong! We should have condemned him to hell while we had the chance! You are so stupid, Chloe!"
"TRYING NOT TO SAVE ZOD WOULD BE SILLY! ZOD JUST NEEDS A HUG OKAY. WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID, CHLOE?"
However, Ollie asking if Clark's master plan was to "hug it out" was the fucking best thing ever.
I love how Clark is interpreting his "mistake" in the future as not abandoning all of his friends,
but that he didn't realize then that Zod hadn't been hugged enough as a child or whatever.

And then all the bad guys kneeled before Clark. How very Justice Lord?
Most boring hiatus cliffhanger ever, Y/N?

Date: 2009-11-22 01:01 pm (UTC)Sex scene = most awkward thing I've EVER seen on TV. EVER! I was totally okay with Lois before this season, but now that they're shoving Clark and Lois down the viewers' throats I've realized the chemistry is garbage between those two.
no subject
Date: 2009-11-22 01:15 pm (UTC)I would say that was the second-most-awkward scene on SV ever for me. Lana offering herself to Jensen Ackles and him being like, "...um, actually my cryptic comment before wasn't about wanting to have sex, it was about how maybe my mom is possibly trying to kill you or something! THANKS BUT NO THANKS!!!" probably still wins, but both scenes have the most awkward shirt-unbuttoning I have ever seen onscreen in my life.

Chloe looks awesome, Ollie looks hawt, and Clark needs his bangs back. Point me in the direction of that petition, hun. Thx.
You know what was totally missing from this episode? LEX! How awesome would it have been if it were MR/Lex leading up the resistance along with Chloe? *sighs at the wasted opportunity*

I love how all you can do is bash Lois even though she shows how much she cares about her cousin and friends here. What a bitch, right? Sure, don't show caps where she was crying over Chloe or kissed her, or crying over Clark, lets just act like she's worthless. Whatever.

Date: 2009-11-22 05:11 pm (UTC)As usual beautiful pic spam, especially the coloring in particular. Didn't get to watch this one, and going by the look of the ratings, wasn't the only one. Got a kick out of your cap emphasizing that villains are shown to chock hold people.
Chloe helps David.... bad
Clark helps Zod... good
Big thumbs up to hypocritical Clark!
As to the last scene, he doesn't look shocked, but almost...righteous and smug even? Dark Zero? Eradicator? Clone? Whatever, I'm already bored.

Date: 2009-11-22 06:47 pm (UTC)And, now, Nois is Clark's girlfriend, so...HI, PENELOPE.
This was the first episode I watched all season (and I only did, out of boredom) and the whole time I was like "Shoot her! Shoot her!". Even if they didn't, I got to see Tess shoot somebody. Crappy thing was, he didn't die. GAH. Tess gets to shoot someone and she can't even get a kill shot in. DUMB.
"No matter which way she tells the story, I STILL DON'T GIVE A FUCK."
Hearing about her prom doesn't really matter since she never graduated from high school.
"At this point I realized how bored to death I had been by this episode until this moment. O HAI HBIC."
Chloe revealing herself in that moment WAS actually pretty awesome. It's kind of sad to me that at the end of the world, Clark and Nois do nothing, but have sex while Chlollie are trying to take down the big bad. I take that back...that doesn't surprise me AT ALL. But, still...Superman NOT joining in a group fighting the bad guys? JUST...NO WORDS. When he walked up and tried to start giving orders to them IN THEIR CAMP, I was like "What?! You can't just walk up and act like you're the stuff when you haven't BEEN THERE." Pissed me off.
Clark was a total d-bag in this episode and from what I understand, he's been like that all season. Glad I haven't been watching.
Seeing Ollie suit up was cheer-worthy. I was like, "Finally, an effing HERO in this business". Him going down the way he did made me proud of him.
Meanwhile, Zod dragging Clark, down the street, by one leg, CRACKED ME UP. Are we supposed to take that seriously? Because that was fracking hilarious.
Nois cared about Chloe when she died, but before then? She just LET HER DIE. That really pissed me off. Nois ran off ahead of her and then did NOTHING when Alia showed up. She could have screamed or made noises to distract her so that Chloe could try and run or defend herself. That was the most ridiculous scene EVER. Upside? Allison Mack's hair in those caps of that scene is absolutely GORGEOUS.
"Ollie asking if Clark's master plan was to "hug it out" was the fucking best thing ever."
LOL!

If we're supposed to take it seriously then that's not good since that's the biggest laugh I've had on this show since Lana's ninja training montage.

Date: 2009-11-22 07:32 pm (UTC)I don't think she knows "slow" means "no sex ever" in Clarkspeak
OMG, YOU MAKE ME WANT TO REWATCH MORTAL NOW.
"We should, ah, we should take this slow."
"Clark, we've been taking it slow for four years now."
The cliffhanger was really boring tbh. Honestly, we've had an awesome Bizarro reveal two years ago and a fake!Lex reveal last year and now we get Zod ordering people to kneel before Clark :\ I kind of got the vibe that Zod wanted to meet Clark since Kandor, so this isn't really anything special.

Date: 2009-11-23 03:18 am (UTC)Don't forget afterwards with, I JUST DIED! I HAVE HAD *~TRAUMA~*! THIS MEANS WE MUST TAKE IT SLOW NOW WHICH IS MY WAY OF SAYING NO SEX EVER EVER EVER.
Zod just keeps getting more camp with every appearance and so I can't really get excited for him as a villain. I mean, Callum is bringing the laughs, but I miss being able to take Lex and Lionel and Davis seriously as threats. :/

Date: 2009-12-03 01:06 am (UTC)So now Clark is like, totally out of nowhere, "Score! I will show Zod how awesome humans are! That'll totally work!" BECAUSE HE IS A DUMBASS. And no, I don't think this is the path he's supposed to be going on, since the episode underlined the problems in the future are still seeded now: Clark and Chloe don't trust each other anymore at all in either timeline, Chloe and Ollie are the ones who will get shit done but may cross the morally grey line to get there without real!Clark looking over their shoulders, Clark still doesn't give a crap about a single person except Lois in either timeline.
I can't really find it Clexy since Clark is like, "Aww, Zod just wants to commit genocide! If I give him a hug I am sure we can work around it!" whereas with Lex it was all, "THIRTEEEEEEEEEEN WOMEEEEEEEN, LEX! THIRTEEEEEEEEEEEN, YOU MANWHOOOOOORE! YOU ARE NEVER COMING BACK FROM THAT!" Mostly it's just underlining again how everyone on the entire planet is cut slack in Clark's book except Lex. :(
