My current SV project = involving a lot of rewatching along the way.

I have never seen the entire exploding baby episode. I've fast-forwarded through it and I know I just cannot handle the entire thing. I'm not that strong. But when Lex was like, wah, I would be a bad father because of my own traumatizing childhood! And saying he wanted to leave behind a different kind of legacy?

I was like, "'THAT IS WHY EVERY BABY I HAVE IS GONNA BE FAKE. SAVES A LOT OF TROUBLE, CLARK. NO EXPLODEY MESS.'"

...GUYS. GUYS. GUYSSSSS. THIS SHOW HAS HAD BOTH A FAKE BABY AND AN EXPLODING BABY. WHAT OTHER SHOW IS THAT MUCH OF A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE? (Thankfully, none.)

ALSO I HAVE SOMETHING TRULY DISTURBING TO CONFESS WHICH I DISCOVERED LAST NIGHT.














I ACTUALLY MISS THIS.

AND I NEVER LIKED THEM. OKAY EXCEPT MAYBE HERE, I THINK EVERYONE LIKED THEM IN THIS EPISODE EVEN THEN.

I was rewatching Arrival (for the first time in a loooong time the whole way through) and Clark was like, "NO MOAR SECRETS!" and I yelled out, "NO MOAR LIES!" and then he SAID IT and I was like, "...WHAT? REALLY?!?!? THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED? I TOTALLY FORGOT."

I MISS SECRETS AND LIES. AT LEAST THEY WERE FUN TO MOCK.

And really, the above scene just demonstrated that they did kind of deserve each other. Sometimes.


CLARK: Really? You didn't sleep with Jason?
LANA: Nope!
CLARK: That is so implausible! OKAY!
LANA: And obviously it is appropriate to bring up this topic casually when Jason was shot and fell off a cliff and was washed away in the current and then had a house dropped on him. Speaking of, hey, did you and Alicia do it before she was violently murdered?
CLARK: Nope!
LANA: ...weren't you, like, married for an episode?
CLARK: I HAVE KEPT MYSELF PURE FOR YOU AND ONLY YOU, LANA! EVEN WHEN I WAS IN THE VEGAS HONEYMOON SUITE WITH ALICIA ENGAGING IN SUPERPOWERED FOREPLAY! EVEN THEN!



...I'm still getting through Mortal now and am dying of glee at the Chloe/Lex scene. THE FIRST TIME LEX STOOPS TO THE, "WELL YOU DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND! SO THERE!" INSULT IS SO GLORIOUS. WHY SO JEALOUS AND BITTER, LEX. <3



Also, it's snowing like crazy and GUESS WHO DIDN'T WEAR A COAT TODAY. I thought we wore done with snow! I am so glad I wore my boots, I had to shuffle all the way to the station in the icy slush ahaha.

Isn't the exploding baby episode the one where Glover and Jane Seymour spend the entire time flirting and/or trying to kill each other? Oh, good times.

I also valued the part where they completely ignored the sibling Clark killed in S2 and, um, let him look after the kid instead of getting his Mom to do it.

...unless I'm thinking of a different exploding baby episode? THERE ARE SO MANY.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

That would be the one!

Well, Clark and kids is usually a recipe for adorable, but with the exploding baby it was like, "We already did this episode and it was better when it was Ryan kthx."

Hey you around on AIM? I got insomnia on that lovely East Coast.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I'll be on in a little bit! I just got in the door and I wanna take a shower first.

[legendarytobes.livejournal.com]

showers are good. Smelling bad is not.

I quote Hitler in the parody vid:

"This (Cnois) shit is even making me miss Lana. You have no idea how much I despised that bitch. That's how much I hate Lois!!!"

I hope you're back home now, where it's nice and warm!

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

YES THAT IS IT EXACTLY though I do love some of Lana's personalities very dearly. <3

Clana were cute in Mortal and Hidden! It makes me sad that they wasted so much time on secrets and lies barn scenes that Al somehow thought that would be more compelling to watch. Looking back it's ridiculous that they only dated in two episodes at the end of season 2, and were very briefly happy at the start of season 5, yet the writers somehow managed to get years and years of drama out of their epic starcrossed love

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I think it helped that they were pretty good friends for the first two years; that sold me on them for a long time. S3 was really the only season where I felt there was waaaaay too much drama when they'd only dated for two episodes. But the brief episodes of happiness they got was more than most other couples on the show did once they became official, lol.

[marikology.livejournal.com]

Girl, you need to put a Clana warning on cuts. MY EYES!

Exploding baby >>>>>>>>> Clana

and yeah- what *was* up with Lex reverting to a 6th grader and taunting Chloe about not having a boyfriend?

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I WARNED FOR DISTURBING IMAGERY!

Because he's bitter about Clark not wanting to date him either, and knows that's Chloe's weak point too, I think, lol.

....I think we should join a support group. Watching KK on Chuck asking Chuck what his ~secret~ was made me go "OMG LANA COME BACK TO ME! THERE ARE STILL SO MANY SECRETHS AND SO MANY LIETHS!" I think the great thing about Lana and Clana in general is that even when it made me want to stab my eyes out it was a.) hilarious and b.) you knew the relationship was dooooommmmeeeddd anyway. But seriously, I never thought I'd miss secreths and lieths so much.

(Also ngl I actually didn't mind them in the beginning of s5. Had the writers put them together earlier I don't think fandom would hate them as much.)

FAKE BABYYYYY!! Oh man I sort of completely forgot about the exploding baby episode. I think I've repressed it. I do love how even back then Lex was like "The only good baby is a FAKE ONE! BWAHAHA!"

am dying of glee at the Chloe/Lex scene. THE FIRST TIME LEX STOOPS TO THE, "WELL YOU DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND! SO THERE!" INSULT IS SO GLORIOUS.

YES! I love when the Chlex fights turned from being verbal banter and turned into total Mean Girls territory. He was like "Chloe, girl, I don't hate you because you're fat, you're fat because I hate you."

I really want to know what this giant project is now though! I'm so curious!

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I MISS THEM SO MUCH. I WOULD RATHER HAVE CLANA TOGETHER FOR ETERNITY AND LANA WORKING AT THE DAILY PLANET TAKING ON LOIS' NAME THAN THE SHOW AS IT IS NOW. IT'S A BIG BUILDING, I'M SURE LANA COULD FIND SOME SECRETHS AND LIETHS TO KEEP HER ENTERTAINED FOR A LONG TIME THERE.

I forget about the exploding baby episode every time until the disc is in my DVD player! I loved how DeKnight APOLOGIZED for that one. He was totally like, "I signed up to write a kryptonite zombie episode, I went to Vancouver to direct Justice, I come back, and suddenly the zombie story is about an exploding baby and now I'm stuck with it. I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT HOUR OF YOUR LIFE YOU'LL NEVER GET BACK!"

I'd say it's on par with my big as-yet-incomplete Chloe wardrobe chronicle project and takes almost as much work. :( I dunno if it'll be fascinating to the world at large though. It's about a meta thing where everyone will be like, "Oh that is interesting but I am sure it means absolutely nothing despite your zillion caps demonstrating its repetition! Crazy delusional Chloiser, we know this is how you roll!"

Exploding baby and fake baby. LOLOLOL. That's all I can say about that.

Man. Clana was cute at the beginning of S5. They look so happy. I actually can believe it there.

CLARK: Really? You didn't sleep with Jason?
LANA: Nope!
CLARK: That is so implausible! OKAY!
LANA: And obviously it is appropriate to bring up this topic casually when Jason was shot and fell off a cliff and was washed away in the current and then had a house dropped on him. Speaking of, hey, did you and Alicia do it before she was violently murdered?

Lana not sleeping with Jason makes no sense. Oh, the crazy sentimentality of Smallville writers. Ha.

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

I was rewatching Scare earlier in the week, and Lana asks Chlark to go to her apartment and get Jason's insurance card. WHO LEAVES THEIR INSURANCE CARD IN THE APARTMENT OF SOMEONE THEY'RE NOT SLEEPING WITH? IDGI.

[dtotheaisy.livejournal.com]

I love this show like I love my hoard of crack. *shifty eyes*

I miss Lana/Clark too, but mainly not because of the actual characters, but because Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk are adorable together. Have you ever seen the blooper "Its our song!"? I LOL EVERY DAMN TIME.

p.s. I HAVE SUCH NOSTALGIA FOR THE EARLIER SEASONS. *I CRY*

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

OH I LOVE THAT ONE SO MUCH. The S2 blooper reel is gold. "Do you believe in ghosts?" "NO." "...DAMN!"

[startredder.livejournal.com]

... /WHAT/?

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

WHAT ARE YOU QUESTIONING? YOU KNOW EXPLAINING SMALLVILLE NEVER GOES WELL.

[startredder.livejournal.com]

I am used to the alcoholism, and I am used to the fake babies, and I am used to the secrets and lies, and I am used to houses being dropped on the short Winchester brother, and I am even inexplicably used to actors too good for this shit being mentioned ...

But.

EXPLODING BABIES?

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

There was a baby. It was a MUTANT baby that kept aging five years every few hours. Eventually it grew up so fast that it exploded all over Clark. Something like that. I've never sat through the whole thing.

AND I GAVE UP DRINKING THIS YEAR BECAUSE I KNEW I'D NEED A LIVER TRANSPLANT SINCE THE SHOW HAS GOTTEN SO BAD. I HAVE GONE ALMOST ONE YEAR SOBER FOR SMALLVILLE. I SHOULD GET A STICKER.

[go-clo.livejournal.com]

I NEVER thought I would miss Lana and her relationship with Clark but I definitely do now! Like you said, at least we knew they were doomed to fail and at least they were fun to mock while we waited for them to!

To be honest, I didn't really hate Clana, I remember watching episodes when they were together and I was actually really surprised to be enjoying them after loathing them for so long! They actually could be really adorable and likable! It was just the build up to that point with all the SECRETS AND LIES and the crappy storylines surrounding their relationship (exploding babies! Worst. ep. ever!) that turned most, including myself, off! If AlMiles and just quit being dumb asses and let them have an actual real, mature relationship, maybe people wouldn't have turned on them!

But when they were together, they were at least believable as a couple and didn't make me completely gag.
