I love that Lexilicious episode of Smallville that they repeated in the first hour last night.
I missed the first 20 minutes or so -- sadly.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

From the pranksters at TeeVee.org, comes this article (buried in the brilliant parody of Salon is a link to faux newpaper The Television City Chronicle):
Protesters Assail Air Force Personnel Decision
Key paragraph:
In addition to being the home to the U.S. Space Command and NORAD, the base is the headquarters for a government team so secret that even its name is not public knowledge. But that secrecy hasn't prevented this loud, spirited group of housewives and thirtysomething single women from coming to the defense of Dr. Daniel Jackson, a reknowned civilian archaeologist who had lived in Colorado Springs for five years.

You know, they really can't pretend they don't get the slash-vibe now, can they?

Catching up -- Lana Lang is a redhead traditionally in the comics, not just in the v. bad Superman III.
Also, are y'all aware that Due South S1 episodes have been showing up on el nova del supr? I've got 4 through 10 now. Fraser's dad just came to town.

I watched the Huntress a lot. I really enjoyed it. AO'T trying to be tough and "mom" everybody made me smile.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Yeah, at least Namor had the advantage of being (a) super strong (b) nigh-invulnerable (c) capable of flight (d) a real arrogant prick.
Fanboy moment: Aquaman is super-strong too. And, as Thomash pointed out, a prick.
He cannot, however, fly.
I strenuously object to any aspersions cast on Aquaman in the event of an urban brawl. He can be very effective. He can...
...uh, he can...
...call the gators out of the sewer! Yeah! And, uh, he can, uh...
YOU LEAVE THE JUSTICE LEAGUE ALONE!
at least he's not plastic man

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
C'mon! Aquaman is strong but he's not in a class with Namor who is supposed to be just a shade below the Hulk and Thor, and could go toe-to-toe with the Thing.
Also, he's also only recently gotten to be an arrogrant prick. For the vast lifespan of his character he was a generic DC do-gooder.
Hmmm, it's kind of interesting how super strength is not that common in the DC-verse, compared to the Marvel-verse. Like, Superman sucked up Strength, and each DC character had to have a distinguishing power (Fast! Ultimate Weapon (green lantern)!). Whereas most Marvel characters have enhanced strength as a matter of course. I blame Kirby.

(Decides these are all part and parcel of sexy-comma-the.)
You know, being Batfamily fixated really warps a gal's DC perspective.
