Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've never seen her in anything where she wasn't kickass capable

I've seen her be "normal" in 24, the Matrix sequels, and I think The Guardian, although I'm not sure. Some series I don't really watch.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh, I'd forgotten that I saw her in the Matrix sequels. I think those scenes must have been accidentally repressed in my memory along with the 25 minute slo-mo the-machines-are-coming-to-kill-us-but-that-won't-stop-the-rave-we-had-planned sequence.

Art Crawl!!!

The rest of that Smallville spoiler:

Yours truly just received a truly Super tip that's so good I'm not waiting for tomorrow's Ask Ausiello to report it. Aaron Ashmore — aka Veronica Mars' former beau, Troy Vandegraff — has been cast as Jimmy Olsen on Smallville! Amazing, right? Well, the news gets better. My Super mole confirms that Jimmy is being groomed as a love interest for Chloe! I've got another eather-shattering Smallville scoop, but that one I am saving for AA. (Hint: It's really good.)

So, predictable. (Well, I may only think so because they've been speculating about Jimmy/Chloe for weeks at the TWOP Smallville spoilers thread.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I forgot to mention it before, but Greg Germann leaves Eureka after the pilot. He gets replaced by a younger model, the better to be the third prong in a love triangle between Colin and the DOD woman whose name I can't remember because I didn't have time to rewatch last night. The new character is her ex-husband.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Is this a "we've secretly switched X for Greg Germann - let's see if anyone notices" or does he leave the show as a plot point?

No, the new guy is a different character. The press kit didn't include the second ep, so I don't know exactly how Germann gets fired.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Well, nuts. I like Germann.

Me too, much better than the new guy. I think he was far more interesting.

But on the up side, the writing for the rest of the cast improves drastically once the show moves beyond Pilot Expositionspeak.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's too bad about Germann. I like him.

From the previews, it looked like the ex-husband could have been Mark (McSteamy) from GA. Is it the same actor?
