You know, I don't think I've ever seen the aired version of the pilot. I think it was a really busy night, and I decided to skip it and just join up with ep2.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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.

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

He cut off his HAND and nearly bled out. His girlfriend came and took him to the hospital.
see! that's what i thought happened and was all confused about how they reattached without getting him to the hospital when i watched the second ep.
I never got around to watching the aired pilot either.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Another difference in the aired pilot is he never shows Simone the painting he did of her leaving him. Instead, we see a painting of the train derailment/fire that Claire walks through to use as a transition to that scene.
You can see that Simone painting in the last episode, though, which is cool.

This is an actual good episode of Smallville.
I think because it's all Lex/Ollie centric with their boarding school memories.

Ben Edlund should always write SPN.

Seriously! Now that was a good episode. And I was hugely grateful for the revelation that the good twin (forgot his name) had never used his mind-control on Tracy before, and I liked that she didn't trust him afterwards. Actions having crappy consequences, even when they're the right actions for the right reasons? Gives me the warm fuzzies, that does.

Yay Ben Edlund! I didn't realize this was one by him. The director's cut snippet from the CW website had looked promising.

It's the first episode he's had writer's credit on and it's VERY good. Funny and creepy. And arc-y!

Any episode of SPN with a song from spinal tap cant be all bad (the van was blasting "Stonehenge") Gotta love Ben's great sense of humor!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
This is an actual good episode of Smallville.
Well, it was written by DeKnight. Though his past outtings haven't always been the best. It was pretty good (though I cringe at yet another use for kryptonite) and Ollie's acting didn't even seem to suck quite so bad this time around (though he was out-acted by his younger double. Which, of all the kids, showed the biggest resemblance to his adult self, almost scarily so.)
I was so worried, when Ollie's dark-haired, blue-eyed friend mentioned getting back to Gotham that that slow pan along the back of the limo was going to reveal a plate that said "Wayne". But no, it was just him about to blow up, so it was all good.
As for SPN, I enjoyed the ep but unfortunately the sound was screwed up for the first 15 minutes for me. I couldn't hear the dialogue at all and all the background noises and music were really loud. It fixed itself after the first commerical break, but unfortunately SPN has no commerical break between the teaser and the first act so I missed out on a lot of apparent snarking and attempted Dean-seduction.
