Non-spoilery post-Bad Timing short snippet by Thea, with snark and firefights. In case you need something to get you through to Sunday (or, err, whenever your DL finishes *g*).

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
I love David Bianculli.
Hey, Strega, are you guys going to do recaps for Farscape?
Hm, laugh or cry, laugh or cry...?
Hee!
Ah, Smallville. It pained me to see Chloe completely sucked of her character for half an episode, but it made it that much more refreshing when we got her back. And I agree with Kalshane about that scene with Lois. That was the best scene in the episode. I found Lois annoying in the first episode, but she grew on me. I really like how she calls Clark "Smallville."

Well, that's straight out of the comics (much like Mary Jane's "Tiger" in Spiderman) and makes a little less sense when she's actually in Smallville, surrounded by Smallvillites as opposed to the "Hey, this new guy is from the boondocks" origin of the nickname in the comics, but it is a nice shout out to said comics. But yeah, she was a lot of fun.
Also fun? Allison Mack in that football jersey. Though that scene gave me a serious Xander and Willow in BB&B flashback.
They are increasing my "Are all these people very stoned" factor, though, with the character call-backs (as opposed to writer winks to us).
How, in the name of everything holy, can you get from here to there and no one connect dots, especially since we're establishing through lines like "Smallville", even with Lois being canonically slow on the glasses uptake. With Lex, at this point, I can only wank it to a mind-wipe or Lionel-becomes-Lex or something like that.
And then I remember that MR is very pretty and the rest of it gets kinda blurry.
Lois, in her ten minutes in town, has been a direct witness to almost as much as departed Pete.
Did they have an explanation for the randomly superheated gun?

Clark has eyejaculated in front of Lois twice now. He's getting sloppy.

Even that doesn't work, because Lionel seems just as close to knowing as Lex. All he lacks is solid proof.
Hasn't Lionel seen (during the fake blind period), plus having had his blood?
At this point I've pretty much given up on Smallville connecting to the Superman universe we know, at least not sensibly. I don't know, maybe they've got some big surprise lined up for season 5 that will somehow make everything fall into place, but I doubt it. More likely, some disgruntled highschool kid drops a piece of newly-discovered mauve kryptonite into a vat of whip cream that starts a chain reaction resulting in everyone in Smallville having selective amnesia trigged by blue and red tights.
