shrift: No, that happened at the end.
Edit: Actually, I'm not sure Barber even wrote a Requiem.
Nor am I. The crap? I would expect Lex to know these things. Though maybe it was a foresightful joke.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I googled and couldn't find anything. The closest I can come up with is the Barber Agnus Dei, which is Adagio for Strings arranged for a capella chorus. And even the Agnus Dei is a part of the regular Mass. So.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Barber of Seville? Kinda stretching it. The answer is it doesn't exist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know, when Lex walked into the jail, I thought "Yay! No inappropriate touching!"
That lasted a couple minutes.
Oh, there was one hell of a GAYLE at the start, when Clark was explaining why he'd kept the secret of Lionel's crime to protect Lex. Some gay porn? Less gay.

That's nothing compared to the GIANT BLOW-UP PHOTOS in the shrine-- The shrine that is supposedly all about Lex, and what he doesn't know about himself....!
I love my gay show.
I mean, seriously, could it *be* any more obvious last night?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Then we could just have Lex and Lionel inappropriately brooding at each other.This is why I like Kat. And when they put that show on the air, Ima watch it.

I'm sorely disappointed by the "it's all about me" explanation. I didn't think he was lying -- he's explored that angle before, that he's the nexus of the weirdness. But lying or telling the truth, it was just way too "almost at the end of the season finale!" fast to get Clark pissed enough to leave town. Again.

I can't actually read your post, ita, because my brain keeps singing "Clark shrine! Clark shrine! Clark shrine!"
MR was so awesome last night. He needs his own broody show so I can watch him forever.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Last night, when I wasn't watching Angel, I was watching Poolhall Junkies, courtesy of Netflix. I admit, I rented it solely because of Michael Rosenbaum, but it's actually a very enjoyable movie, and he's wonderful in it. My husband looked up at one point and said, "Is that Lex Luthor? Wow, he can really act."

But the Clark shrine is so last season's homosexual. Clark being jealous of the Lana/Lex clinch is much more now.
I adore MR, and sometimes resent SV for being so crappy around him. The rest of the time I'm just grateful it sets him free into my living room.
