No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

It's probably on my Top Ten I Wish I'd Written.

Oh, was it good? See, I can't even remember these things.

You know, I'm all for suspension of disbelief, and I'll put up with a lot of hand-wavy inaccuracy, but there's gotta be a line. And the idea of a police officer getting a drug of unknown but certainly dangerous kind all over his fingers and then rubbing his nose and eyes? It's on the opposite shore.

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

It's all part of his cunning plan to get to cuddle Blair, Emily.

Not terribly cunning, now is it? Besides, the cuddling mostly seems to happen when Blair gets hurt.

Ah, much more of the show is becoming clear now.

Can I just mention how not suspenseful a helicopter chase over open water is? They're hiding behind ships, which, okay, but if the other helicopter just went... higher....

All is well that ends in pizza.

See Clark? If you don't stop it, you'll go blind.

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

Wow. This is the dumbest Smallville I've seen in a while.

Sure, there are 24 minutes, left, but still ...

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Argh. This, of course, would have to be the only episode so far this season I've actually managed to get someone else to watch with me. Of course, we missed the first 20 minutes, not to mention I've only seen bits and pieces of the season so far, so we were both pretty confused. All I could do was promise that the Season 1 DVDs would show her the way and the light and the HoYay. Sigh.

I stand by my earlier position. That was AWFUL. My worst ever.

However, it had one up side.

Just the one, though.

I LOVE the glasses they had on him. Way adorable. But yeah, the only saving grace of the episode.
