'Dirty Girls'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
This is a phenomenon I've run into before on similar blog sites, and it's usually started by people who can't seem to grasp the concept of clothing that doesn't conform exactly to the body underneath it. I blame too much time spent clubbing among the spandex-clad.
Let's hope no one ever points Browder to the link. Or, failing that, that he finds it funny rather than mortifying.
My new tagline has nothing to do with that particular picture of Browder. I just fell hard for the phrasing.
And you know, there is something to the sentiment.

(And yes, I've seen it, and it's fantastic. Also fun!)
The "Merry Lexmas" episode was REALLY good. I think because it focused on Lex for the A story and the rather silly B-story was where they put Clark.
Also, I loved the decision he made at the end -- it was really the only one he could have made given his future, but it so goes against all those Xmas Redemption stories - A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, etc. -- it was very satisfying.
I unfortunately missed about 10 minutes in the middle because the local station broke away to the news room at the beginning of one commericial break and then went back to the show at the start of the next one, so I missed what happened between Clark saving Santa and Lex going to beg Lionel to save Lana. I'll have to ahem it tonight, I suppose.
That B story was awful. Who played Santa?
I...I felt it was kind of an inevitable ending, but it was nice seeing MR play all roses and sunshine for a bit, especially since it seems he'll have none of that ever again.
I doubt I'll get back into watching the show regularly, but this seems a turning point for our ridiculously-young, miraculously-healing woobie. Can he still be interesting next episode? Will the slashiness stay?
Well, I obviously missed that 10 minutes too -- but it didn't bother me.
(I mean, it felt fairly obvious that Lana went into labor, things went wrong and then the scene with the nurse and Lana bleeding out and saying something about Alex and Lily --therefore the baby survived.)
I'm still all JUST DON'T HAVE A SECOND KID, LEX, but I'm like that (and clearly it affected me. Good TV.)
Doesn't matter. He'd still feel pain again, and that's what he wanted to stop, more than save Lana, I think.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "REALLY good," especially because I think the silly B-story really bogged down the fairly interesting A story. It was so unbearably cheesy. And the A story bugged me because I couldn't get over the idea of Lex and Lana together. I mean, they've played with the idea in the past, but it never felt like a real thing. And I kept waiting for them to show Clark married to Lois, just for kicks.

I really liked that too. For a second there, I was very worried as to what they were going to do because I knew what the point was, but Lex tried to fake me out at first with this "happily ever after" bit. I love his fucked-up twist.
And his dead mother being the spectre of his ambition was pretty cool.
