Oh, damn. Just--dayum.
And no, Michael didn't always have those arms. But I sure am glad he does have them now.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

And I wonder if they were going for an odd sort of symmetry by having the truck flip over - the last time that happened, it was right before they found baby Clark.
Wonder? It seemed fairly heavy-handedly to be referencing that first scene to me.
I missed the end -- what's the deal with Helen? Why do we think she's evil?
Because she was on the plane with Lex and gave him Champagne which seems to have been drugged, and when he woke up, she and the pilot were both gone, and the plane was crashing into the sea. So it's a hunch we have.

Aw, dammit! That's a spoilery picture! Now I know Daniel isn't gonna die again, having only been back on the show for a handful of episodes after what I'm sure were angsty and politics-laden negotiations. Cause it seemed so likely that random guerrilla guy, who has nothing whatsoever to do with the content of the show, might just up and decide to shoot him, denying us all but particularly himself the pleasure of looking at those lovely arms.
Okay, maybe not all that surprising. Still! It could've been a Tasha Yar! Mind you, I lost interest in TNG after Tasha Yar...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's absolutely no reason he can't still die, Emily. Don't fear. Death is out there.

It's a remora, dimwit.
They might have flipped the truck as a way of showing that the car accident was serious, without having to blow it up, which would make Jonathan escaping unharmed seem too strange. Plus there seems to be some rule about a minimum required number of car accidents per season. I suppose this means that if Martha and Jonathan want another baby now, Martha's going to have to start aiming for strollers with her car, since previously she did manage to get one little boy by hitting him with her car.

If I really got my motivation together, I'd go through a list of episode summaries and tote up the number of car crashes on this show. Smallville must have a big red flag on the maps of car insurance companies in the smallvilleaverse.

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
Well, next time don't spoil yourself, silly. You could've spent the next three months thinking "maybe it's a picture of his corpse. Maybe they cut his arms off and sent them to the SGC! Who knows?"
I take no responsibility for your lack of self-control.

Okay, so we finished watching, on tape, the episode where Tanith shows up on Tollana.
Can someone explain why the Tollan didn't take one of the super bombs and just *blow up the damn Goau'ld ship*?

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

Aren't the Goau'ld ships surrounded by those big force fields that repel nuclear explosions like summer rain while somehow inexplicably allowing small forces of soldiers to board them and overcome enemies with vast numerical and technological superiority?
