I just kept thinking when I was watching that a few hours after I had given birth, I was listening to a candy striper tell me how to pee. And Aeryn got to shoot things.

AND do a power walk!

I chalked that up to her being a warrior -- if Peacekeeper women could keep a fetus in stasis for 7 cycles if necessary (b/c of battle), then I assume they also bounce back from labor and delivery pretty quickly.

Hey, that was a pretty good episode of Smallville right there. I liked Kid Flash.

One comic reference was bad: "Let's see if you're faster than a speeding bullet."

One comic reference was good: "...start a club, a league..."

Lana and her dude have good chemistry. The makeout scene was hotter than any time she and Clark ever kissed.

I have to say, I had written off the show, but tonight was a lot better.

Tonight was very cute indeed. Clark's still a moron (why go in at night to look at the manuscript when you have an invite to see it in 12 hours? What's going to happen? Bart only stole it to piss you off -- he could have stolen anything in the house). But he looked so happy with Lex and Bart, so much happier than any of the women have made him, and I'm not even at the HoYay yet.

I did not like the reciting of all the Flash names. And I'm still irritated by the forcing of Lana into the Kryptonian mythology. She's that lame a character she can't survive on her own without being a love interest or a tool?

Yes. Does she have a character beyond that? There are side characters on Veronica Mars who are more developed than she is.

Did anyone else, when Lana mentioned the "twelve hours of her life" she lost, say, "Bitch, please. Sydney lost TWO YEARS!"?

Oh, and did anyone else do about fifteen thousand takes when Martha referred to Clark as being SEVENTEEN? Sometimes I forget how incredibly not seventeen Tom Welling looks.

I did entirely laugh, and wonder what hairline motion that mop of locks is hiding.

Plus, wasn't Clark 15 at the beginning of the series, 3 years ago? Guess all those meteor rocks are warping the time scale, as well as the locals' genes.

Is Lana old enough to be schtupping Coach T without legal repercussions?

Huh. Seems all it takes in Kansas is 16. I want to see more nookie-with-adults, then.

I figured that Clark and the others (still in high school) will be turning 18 this year.

Exactly. And once the alarms are going off, why are you standing there like a deer in headlights instead of super-speeding yourself out the door after Bart?

Steve DeKnight should know better.

With all the reference-dropping, I would have loved one either from Bart about thinking Lex has a cool voice or something about Lex putting words in the Flash's mouth.

I figured that Clark and the others (still in high school) will be turning 18 this year.

I'm thinking the same thing.
