Of coures Jack is a brunette, too...but that might be brunet. Hmmm.

IIRC, at one point, there was in semi-common use the term brownette, which applied to light-to-medium brown hair. Brunette was specifically dark shades.

I'll have to check my old chick mags to be sure.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's 'brunet' for a male, though that isn't much used.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's 'brunet' for a male, though that isn't much used.

In fact, I'd say that's an obsolete useage.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Though a pretty, pretty word.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Oooh. Desperate Measures is on. I heart this episode. It's got Maybourne at his smarmist and the most charming simultaneously; Adrian Conrad; Simmons, who was one villain in SG-verse who genuinely creeped me out instead of made me roll my eyes; Coldly-enraged!Carter; And Jack out of uniform and hotter than any guy his age has a right to be. Yumm.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I read an essay that posited that it would be possible for Lex to not change really much at all (from Season 1 or 2), and still end up in the adversaries position, if Clark starting always believing the worst about him.

Not likely, though.

I think Lex killing Lionel is the capper to the transformation. In my own personal vision of the ending episode/arc, we get that, Lex's exit from Smallville (the town), and Clark flying. I think the tornado ep was intended to be foreshadow-y.

I tend to put a lot of the onus on Clark. Without Clark close by, I think Lex tends toward much more Machiavellian tactics. So, I think/want something to happen with/to Chloe, and Clark to blame Lex.

Man, on the Farscape front I just saw THE WAY WE WEREN'T.

Talk about an allergy inducing episode. MMMM, that's some good TV.

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

Simmons, who was one villain in SG-verse who genuinely creeped me out instead of made me roll my eyes

See, I can't cope with Simmons. I get Q flashbacks, and am distracted by the question of why he's got a military rank but only ever wears a suit, and so I was glad when he went.

On the plus side, Harry! Harry makes everything better.

I love Harry and Jack together. I rewatched their scenes in that ep a couple of times when I had the DVD recently. The scene around the truck, especially. They're just funny together.

And as Shaye says, "the Muppets will make you cry."

Kickass episode. The writer went on to work for CSI: Miami, which is... kind of a shame, really.
