I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Kristin, for your last question, was there ever?

The status is NOT quo.

Dana, I know you're right. But it's just gotten so so much worse. I really knew it the second I saw the Charmed-esque promo this past week with the pukey subtitle.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Gratuitous shower make-out scene aside, it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Of course, based on the preview from last week I thought it was going to be absolutely wretched.

Of course, next week it looks like we have yet another "someone/everyone loses their inhibitions due to random, most-likely kryptonite-related, thing" episode. Le sigh. However, the look on Clark's face in that one scene with Chloe is rather priceless, even if it's pretty much been there/done that in TV land.

When the teaser for tonight's Smallville came on, I was so confused because I had just watched the Season 1 repeat on Family and it was the one with the coach and the fire and suddenly -- it's all about the football team again. Very odd. I cannot believe that Lois is supposed to have been a new college Freshman. I actually think that this episode is better than I expected. . . not that I expected much. Also, I'm sad that they're doing the Teacher-Student relationship on this show too. And that Jason Teague looks so much like Whitney (when glanced at) that even the titles were Season 1 nostalgic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tom Welling is older than Jensen Ackles, and last night I was feeling his age more than ever before.

Something about the hair part in the flashback scene made me wonder about his hairline too.

I think that Lois looks contemporaneous with Clark. Of course, Clark looks like he has put off writing his PhD dissertation a little too long, if he looks any sort of school age at all, so that doesn't exactly help with the whole high school thing. Tom and whoever is playing Lois have more chemistry than TW and KK, so since I'm suspending disbelief about Clark's whole high school situation I figure Lois might as well come along on the ride.

What's the time delay on white-fonting?

Just to be safe: In last week's episode, Lois mentions her mother died when she was 6 and then goes on to comment how her dad is finally involved with someone after 15 years. (She think's Chloe's pseudonym is her dad's gf at this point) which makes her 21 which is way too old to be a recently graduated senior/college freshman.

Also, wouldn't she have found out from her highschool that she didn't have enough credits instead of from the college she applied to?

Is Jensen Ackles Jason Teague?

(Also, back to Farscape -- I have digital cable and the listings on that are all frelled too -- in that they seem to be listing the show that happens in the next hour as the show that happens this hour. Also, they are listing the show with the three Crichtons as happening today when they played it yesterday. I don't know where it happens in actual chronology -- but what they are playing right now is LATP, Part 3.)

Actually, yes she should have discovered from her high school that she didn't have enough credits to graduate. And I totally missed the details of her age -- gee, I guess that the people who make SV did too.
