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.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
He's actually on regular CSI, if that helps.

Oh, that's better. I'm trying to remember if he wrote the episode that BB was in on CSI: Miami, or if I just conflated teh whole thing.
Which, you know, possible. Cold meds and all.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Kickass episode.
I like how everyone except Crichton and Chianna came out of the ep sullied in one way or another. Either they had done something (or in Aeryn's case several things) heinous, or they got all self-righteous as if they'd just found out that Aeryn was a peacekeeper. It was also interesting to see that Crais was just as big an obsessive prick before his brother got killed.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out
So, I think/want something to happen with/to Chloe, and Clark to blame Lex.
This would work for me, although my first thought is that they'd be more likely to use Lana for that purpose than they would Chloe. Which would really lessen the impact for me. Maybe my Lana irritation and paranoia has reached irrational levels.
