and why do i find myself saying things like "holy crap, he is acting like someone who will grow up to be superman"???

spoilers

Last night was excellent, clark lost his powers to some anti-social trenchcoat kid.
best line
"What would you do Clark, if you had the power to do anything?"
"I would stop people like you"

when will he get the suit?
when do they stop calling kryptonite "meteor rocks"
when do clark and lex kiss....uhhh, i think i have been here to long

He'll never get the suit. This is about CLARK and how he deals with growing up..."special". What's wrong with calling them meteor rocks? They can't be called kryptonite, nobody knows about krypton or any of that.

As for when we get to see Clark and Lex lock lips in a fit of passion....well you're just going to have to wait with baited breath like the rest of us.

"Bated" breath. "Bated".

Bee. Bonnet.

As for why you can't stop watching Smallville, I really thought we would have sorted this out by now.

It's because Lex and Clark love each other very much.

*thread-rot* Say, what if in an episode they *did* kiss each other and all that. Would that be hailed by all slash writers or they would have their fun spoiled? Is slash fiction a paliative for something a lot of brit.. I mean, people wanna see, or the intrinsic fun is just in the *writing* process, in creating something kinky with well-know characters....
Er.. messed up what I wanted to say. Simple: Lex and Clark do kiss. HUrray or Boo-hoo?

P.S.:Haus, I know you just want the best for them. But try to analyze the matter coldy.

They have locked lips. They just haven't kissed properly. Yet.

My favourite moment of that episode, Trijhaos, is when he disobeys his parents and heads off to fight the new superkid without any powers of his own.

haven't really been watching, but wouldn't the whole "suit dilemma" be a perfect final season? i mean, we all know how the story ends, so why not segue into that at the end of the series? maybe even do a new superman series like the classic one (no, not Lois & Clark!!). as it is now, more people respond to the tv supes and bats than the comic ones, might as well give the people something entertaining while re-telling these stories is acceptable...

why don't you guys start a petition to get the love fest going?

Bah! The only episode I want to see is the one when Clark leaves Lex in his room and stands outside the door ,in the clasic hands on hips Superman pose, wearing nothing but Superman Under-roos. Actually the only episode I want to see is the one when NOTHING HAPPENS!!! Like smallville should be..boring corn town...and lana lang nekkid!

I'm falling in love with this Welling guy myself. Him and Rosenbaum, the guy who plays Lex, show a lotta care for their respective characters.

Am I imagining things or is the Smallville Clark afraid of heights? I thought I heard something like that in one of the early episodes. When he starts leaping tall buildings I'm gonna poop. I'd like to see the end of the series have Clark flyin around in a corn field and Lex spying him with a suitable evil genius laugh as the camera slowly takes a shot of Luthor the Elder's obit in the Daily Bugle.

And while the whole homoerotic Lex/Clark angle is very interesting I'm waiting for Lana and Chloe to bump uglies. Patiently.

Planet. Daily Planet.

Daily Bugle is where spiderman works, and does he ever work it...

I liked the little touch in the last episode on C4 (UK) when Mr. Kent was driving in his truck listening to the theme from the Dukes of Hazard - excellent

No I meant the Bugle!! Duh, brain fart. Anyone know what happened to Lex Luthor's father in the comic book canon?

*SIGH*
Will you kids just stop it with the whole LexSlashClark thing ? Just because Warren Ellis says they’re watching each other’s mouths all the time, doesn’t mean it’s true.
And since ya know he’s gonna grow up and marry Lois Lane too… I mean, come on.

Anyway: why can’t you stop watching it ?
Simple. There are many, MANY far worse TV shows on: some nice lines, it’s often written by Mark Verheiden, who used to (and maybe still does ?) write comics, so knows what he’s up to, the performances are pretty good, and the effects are all right too. And Mark Snow does the music. There are worse ways to spend your time, let’s face it.

is Krypto the dog in this series at all? if not he should be. it is superboy after all.
 
 
Trijhaos
17:12 / 15.04.02
Nope, Krypto isn't in the series. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any animals on this supposed "farm". What exactly goes on there?
 
 
Saint Keggers
21:03 / 15.04.02
There were cows on the Kent farm. Maybe he'll get a dog in a later episode. One where someone find a piece of comet rock and mystriously gets turned into a flying dog...im just sooo damn fed up with kryptonite.

What about Krypto the Super-Cow? That'd really mess with the continuity in new and exciting ways? Maybe it could be a gay cow, then Clark could go out with him, after all he has been chasing Lana around for the season so far...

DBC: No, we won't stop. Some sort of reasonably mature understanding of the sexual tension between Clark and Lex would be a great step forward in educating the fatbeards on how emotions and relationships work in the real world.

Not quite sure what they'd do then, but a state of self-aware self-loathing must be an improvement.
 
 
DaveBCooper
10:17 / 16.04.02
Are ya sure ? I thought one of the things that made fatbeardness bearable was the unlikelihood of them reproducing. Why enable them to enter relationships where that might happen ? What about recessive genes further down the line ?

And is self-aware self-loathing really better than blissful ignorance? I dunno… and I’m oddly happy that way. Hmm.

Last night's episode, Lex pulls up in a limo at the Kent farm, gets out and presents his good buddy Clark w/ a...sword. It was about as subtle as a Red Hot Chili Peppers video.
 
 
Trijhaos
16:30 / 17.04.02
I had wondered if I was the only one who noticed that. We all know what Lex really wanted to give Clark, right?

i mean what kind of gift is a foil, such a light sissy weapon, even among fencers they make fun of it...
