Did it look like it might have been interesting?
Possibly. The only direction I think it could have gone would have been the Alias route, with a super-powered Sydney.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm going to set my TiVo to catch it. I've read one comic with her in, and liked it muchly, so I was rooting for the series.
Unrelatedly, I was talking about the clueless gay, referencing TW's cluelessness and MR's willingness to pump up the slash, and my friend told me of a party where he witnessed Kevin Spacey giving TW his number with a knowing smile, and TW being all "Okay! I'll call you!" similarly cluelessly.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Wow, ep 13 of Atlantis was much more exciting than ep 12. Never would've picked Caldwell as the Go'auld .

All is well that ends in pizza.
Indeed it is. It was nice to see the continuity.

I worry for that boy and what must have happened back when he was an underwear model around dozens of fashion photographers. Oh well, maybe if they dangled a colorful mobile or squeaky toy in front of him things wouldn't have been too traumatic...

Maybe they set what he thinks of as het-normal, and therein lies the kernel of the thing.

Thrive to spite them
Dad and I just watched Nerve. And then the dvd was damaged so we couldn't watch the second part (I forgot the name), it's fun watching all of the pieces start to move into place. Dad was very disappointed about the damaged dvd and I'm going to see if the library has it, but so far I couldn't find it listed anywhere.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
The Lex/Lana thing didn't bother me because I've been picking up that vibe from Lex since season 1, when it was rather squicky (early 20-something Lex vs. 14-year old Lana) so I wasn't surprised in the slightest that Lex would dream about that.
you know what's wierd? When I read Clark/Lex slash, with Clark being 15, it doesn't bother me. But, if there is Lex/lana or Lex/chloe, it feels wrong. Even the one where Clark turns into a girl bothered me. I wonder why that is?

There's a much bigger societal tradition of young girls being pressured into sex or marriage by older men with no regard for what's best for them?
