In this week's EW:

'Small' Order
Superhero Dalton Ross explains how Smallville can get its momentum back

[yadda yadda] Hence my kryptonite-proof five-point plan:

1. Have Clark and Lex go at it.Forget Lana Lang. Smallville's real attraction has always been the delicate relationship between Clark (Tom Welling) and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum). What was cool at first -- seeing these future enemies as best buddies -- is much less cool now. This intergalactic odd couple needs to start locking ...

and there the signal breaks up and the article ceases to make sense. I think he wants them mad at each other or something.

But I was excited for a minute.

But I was excited for a minute.

yes. Me too. And then, nuthin'.

Except I'm on board for the Get Rid of Pete suggestion. I thought they had.

I'm on board for the Get Rid of Pete suggestion.

I stopped reading before that.

I don't think they should get rid of Pete before Lana, but sadly that'll never happen.

He'd be a better character, I opine, if he were ever on the show.

Nah, they need to pair off Pete and Lana and subplot their storyline. Sub Sub plot, maybe.

Or, you know, give Lana the red hair she should have.

t /traditionalist grumbling

Well, I should have figured that Buffy would have made its way to Stargate ... just saw Principal Snyder (not playing himself) on a season 1 episode, The Nox. Sorta cute to see him all pacifist and in such a foresty little outfit and do. The Nox were a soothingly pretty and peacful lot. Am watching Vol. 3 of season 1 on DVD. I really must not have started watching at all until season 2 -- it is SO MUCH fun seeing all this previously unseen stuff.

I thought Snyder's Nox was kind of a prickly jerk. But I was never sure if that was carryover from my impression of Snyder.

I suppose this is the place to report it -- I had another one of my bizarre multi-fandom dreams. There was an episode of Stargate that was ridiculously like fanfiction, and then there was a Sentinel fanfiction which had actually gotten Maggart to act in it. Jim was sort of drifting town to town, going progressively crazier (in fact, I'm quite sure he was wearing an Elizabethan ruff at one point), while Blair accepted a job offer from, essentially, Anjelica Huston's character in "The Witches". There was a dance number. It was very, very strange.

Man, I never have wacky multifandom dreams with dance numbers.

With a quick-change and a slinky dress, no less.

Although the Stargate part was just lame. I was sitting there thinking (okay, lying there thinking), "Who wrote this crap? This is like really freaking bad fanfic!" Which I guess means I've read too much bad fanfic. I was embarrassed to be watching it! Which means, actually, that I'm even more embarrassed to realize I came up with it!

Can somebody please televise Emily's dreams? They sound far more fascinating than 90% of what's on TV these days.
