But no, to me he screams "technical obstacle to twu wuv" and he's not even goodlooking.

Ian Somerhalder, right? For some reason I find him hot, even though I normally don't like the CK underwear model types. Maybe I sympathized too much with his character in Rules of Attraction.

I thought last night's Smallville was pretty bad.

Agreed. Last night's Smallville both sucked and blew.

I slept through ten minutes or so and made dinner during another part.

Questions: Who has the disc with Chloe's stories on them? Lex? The Daily Planet editor who was killed - he wrote Lois Lane's name on them, right? Who knows that is Chloe's psuedonym? Does Lex? Anybody else?

My theory was that Chloe would turn out to be Lois, eventually, but 1) my theories are never right and 2) every spoiler I've seen said that Lois wouldn't be introduced until next season. Hmm.

I don't like Adam either - but I did like him getting pissy with Lana there for a second.

but the fact that Smallville seems to be a suburb of Metropolis kills me every single time.

It's been stated that it's a three-hour drive, but OMG. No kidding. As an actual resident of Kansas - I find it particularly hilarious/stupid.

And so now Lex is going to try to get his memories back? I love Lex and want him to be crazy - but it was boring enough to see him make those memories in the first part of the season - I'm going to die if we have to go through the whole finding out Luther (edit: I meant Lionel) killed grandma and grandpa again.

It's been stated that it's a three-hour drive, but OMG. No kidding.

Really? They go back and forth so much that I figured it was, like, a Sunnydale-to-L.A. distance -- less than two hours on a really bad day.

And I skipped Smallville last night, so I have nothing to add. Doesn't sound like I missed much.

Chloe told Lionel last week when she got fired that she had a three hour drive to get home. I pay attention to these things because I know that if you were really out in the middle of Kansas, the only thing that is three hours away is - the middle of Kansas.

I can't believe you can think this worse than last week. Sure, it wasn't great (not a fan of binary code! infections), but LAST WEEK, PEOPLE.

I liked that there was minimal use of meteor rock even if the maguffin was stupid.

It's been stated that it's a three-hour drive,

This is what drives me nuts. I mean, they've shown that Metropolis has docks, and is therfore on a coast, right? And they weren't river docks. So this means that Kansas is three hours away from a coast.

(Never mind that in the DCU it is theorized that Metropolis is in Delaware).

Speaking of meteor rock, it sure looked like that one "powered down" when it was knocked away from Duke boy.

but LAST WEEK, PEOPLE.

It took me several minutes to remember anything about last week - so yeah, you're right.

Last week I was at least semi-intrigued becuase I thought the voice mutant was so X-Men-y that I was trying to see if they dropped obvious clues to it - but yeah, all that traveling through Clark's inner ear canal made me nauseous.

So this means that Kansas is three hours away from a coast.

t sob

The sad, sad truth is that the closest actual coast line (ocean or gulf, not great lake) is a 16 HOUR drive (Louisiana) and a 22 HOUR drive to the nearest real beach (Padre Island). It is minus 11 degrees (w/wind chill) here and snowing. WHY DO I LIVE HERE????
