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.

Make it so that by the time Clark and Lex are having their showdowns, the audience doesn't know who to root for, and are in fact, terrified that either could be killed.

What I've seen of the show seemed to be laying the groundwork for something along those lines...

Whenever I've seen Lex be a cold mofo, he has his reasons. And they try to make them good ones.

I dunno, there's still a perverse part of me that thinks it would be funny to have Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Lightning lad show up to invite Clark into their super hero club.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Matt, I would *so* love to see that. t /LSH fan

I'd like to see them play with the idea of evil - maybe have him get into more morally gray areas, and actually make the audience sympathize with his evil acts because they're done with such good intentions.

I thought this was what they were already doing. That's what made the show worth watching for the time I was watching it.

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

I wouldn't be surprised - I'm not sure what kind of producer he is now, but he's definitely both writing for and directing the show.

He's so much more interesting now, and I just can't wrap my head around the idea of a Smallville mega-evil mogul in his early twenties.

I imagine Lex won't go completely evil until Lionel is out of the picture, which the producers should keep from happening until near the end of the show's run, if they are smart.

Everyone pretend that's what I said. This is not the tongue-tied idiot you're looking for...

Art Crawl!!!

I could swear I saw Clark in a phonebooth removing his shirt in the promo.

Also, did you see the promo with somebody typing up an article -- something to do w/a ski-masked figure leaping from the Daily Planet building to the Luthor Corps building? I'm glad that they're following up on that!

Thanks for all the fish.

I caught a bit of Stargate last night (it airs on Space just before Firefly) and TERRY DAVID MULLIGAN was on it! Guys, TERRY DAVID MULLIGAN! I hate him so much!

How funny to see all the VJs of my youth 'acting'.

I can't even.

TDM has been an actor since before his dj days, but I caught just the end of that and thought, must have been shot in Van-groovy, eh? And it was.
