As long as he's Lex's old guy, I'll be happy.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.
'Serenity'
Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

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

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre
Y'know, they are working so hard on keeping Clark and Lana apart, that they have totally blown any idea of "sexual tension", "relationship tension" and even "these two people are hetero" tension.
John, that's fantastic. And y'know, you can actually apply it to a lot of fandom couples with just a bit of tweaking. Cordy/Angel (and what I loved most about that special couple, was how they had a bit of chemistry, until they were supposed to be in love, at which point it vanished into the ether), Max/Liz (yes, I watched Roswell), etc etc

I also hope for subtext, for it is our friend.

Perhaps we'll finally see what's at the root of his Michael Jacksonesque compulsion to take in young boys and dress them in revealing circus acrobat togs .

Matt, for a second I thought you were talking about Lex's compulsions, and figured I'd not only managed to miss an ep, but that it was the good one.

IIRC, Miller & Gough did say that there would be no spandex tights on Smallville, but they could be lying...

Perhaps they meant only on Clark? (But they also said no flying . . . and hasn't he been flying?)

It's a remora, dimwit.
No, he's just been running fast and jumping high, like the original Superman. He wouldn't have been leaping over tall buildings back then if he could just fly over them.

I have a plan.

They've shown hints at it a couple of times throughout the series. Each time it's been a case of sleep-flying. One time hovering over his bed and another time he woke up in the middle of some country road.

Sleep-flying isn't a Superman aspect, it means he's a Shaman, well, if "Northern Exposure" is to be believed.
