They do great with making Lex sympathetic - the one good man in his life, that he loves, is keeping major secrets from him and insists on keeping his beard.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

It's a remora, dimwit.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Finally got to see Smallville. It was, indeed, both good and gay.
I kept having the same reaction that I sometimes have had with Angel and Buffy, "Are they really doing all this in one episode?"
Lex didn't trust his father before the murder thing, so he's got to be faking, right? I mean, if his memory is spotty, it's entirely possible that he thinks that Clark's the enemy, and, thus, is faking with him. He was pretty pissed in the rec room.
Anyone get a good look at the painting? It looked like it might mean something, but I have ye olde unresponsive VCR.
Also, Clark gets a big old "idiot" award for not turning off the power, but, you know, par for the course for Smallville CK.

Oh, and did the constant dark blue lighting bug anyone else? Or in Kansas can they not afford to light mental hospitals?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The industrial lighting was kind of dank, but they did go to some effort to light Clark naturally in comparison when he was in the hospital.
Also, lovin' the Massive Attack! Go Smallville with all our Eurotrash faves!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Hee. I'm watching rerun Stargate. They are planting C-4 charges. In one shot, you can clearly see the words "Face this side towards the enemy". Hee.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Claymore mines. They're directional.

Oh, that's what a claymore is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, that and a honking great sword.
Hey -- how do you spell tecmateh? As in "Tecmateh, Master Bra'tac."

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Hey -- how do you spell tecmateh?
Oh, God, who knows? Arduinna thinks either tec'ma-te, tek ma te, or tek matte - it looks like that's all from closed captioning.
Frankly, once you get past the characters' names, I give up on the question of Stargate and apostrophe placement.

you can call me bob.
Clearly, as far as the Stargate writers go, an apostrophe simply means it's alien. I don't think they put any kind of Tolkien-ian thought into it.
