Heh, oops I meant toothpicks. Not pricks. But, whatever it takes.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out
It was Shattered and Asylum that finally managed to get me hooked on this show. Before that, I would try and watch, but it always seemed like I tuned in during one of those interminable Lana/Clark talks about how they couldn't be together or something.
Asylum is painful to watch. It's painful to watch Clark try and save someone he loves and fail, it's painful to watch Lex be tortured by Lionel and told that it's for his own good, it's horribly painful to watch Lex try and make a run for it in the teaser, it's painful to watch the final scene between Clark and Lex. It's all just painful. In a good way. I love the fact that they had Clark being drained of his powers result in Lex being saved from the electroshock therapy and then Clark getting his powers back immediately lead into Lex getting the electroshocks. I have to say though, it really bugs me that the final shot of the episode is not on Clark walking away from his friends. That kind of thing makes me feel like they don't understand what it is that is powerful about the show.
Rosetta was enjoyable because it had internal conflict for Clark about things that actually matter as opposed to his usual romantic angst. Plus, I always enjoy seeing Clark go against his parents wishes for a little bit. Plus, great guest star.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I wrod to OtherKate's Asylum paragraph.
I sometimes wonder if (some of) the writers get it, wrt what makes the show good when it's good, or if they're shooting blind and managing to hit things every once in a while.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
That's the one where Lex is in an insane asylum.
Edit: Oops. Meant that to have a question mark.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
OtherKate, have you see sisabet's SV vid Without You I'm Nothing yet? I mean, I'm not even into the show, but when I was done with the vid, I wanted to put my head down on the desk and weep. Lex-angst like you wouldn't believe. What a great vid.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's the vid that made me finally conclude Lionel touches Lex too much, I think.

I'd never seen that one, thanks for the link. Great video. Poor Lex.
And, yes, Lionel does touch him too much. Never in the loving family way that he always ends up watching the Kents do with Clark, but in the very bad Daddy's going to mess up your head but good way.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Kristin Kreuk is playing Tenar?!?!
Wow. There are no words.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
So, are Tenar's parents dead?
