Heh. I flipped past Smallville while waiting for Angel, and it was a desert island scene (which I assume from people's posts that it was a "desert island" scene), and I laughed my ass off and then watched my tape of Coupling.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Sheesh... evil for three months and not laid yet? What possible use is being evil if you don't get benefits from it?
Eh, I think it's more that you showed a teenage main character on a TV show having casual sex without consequences, the world would explode.
Alternately, he's really saving himself for Lex.

Heh. Sumi, I was right there with ya on the "but, but, there's gotta be better ways to commit supercrimes than breaking open ATMs and paying for a car with a bag full of cash? Geeez, Clark. Dumb."
And I didn't like Chloe's hair. It was too pale blonde.

Okay, I watched my tape of Highlander "The Gathering" and now I'm thinking that they intended Richie to be an Immortal all along -- esp. after reading the synopses of the 2nd episode where he is searching for his "real" parents.
Is that right?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, and paying for a $240,000 car with cash from an ATM? That was 12,000 twenty-dollar bills. Accountants everywhere gnash their teeth in horrified fury.

Well, why pay at all when you are a SUPER-VILLAIN?

See, it upset me so much -- his serious lack of real super-villainy that I doubleposted.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

It's never made clear on the show, and if I remember correctly it's one of those things that behind-the-scenes stories on differ. It's always seemed likely to me, though.

I always figured it was in the plan because of the way Duncan and Connor both respond to Richie in the pilot. It's definitely there.

Yeah, that's what I got -- that they sensed him before he was there and then Connor makes some comment about "watching the boy".
Now, I really don't get why my friend (who turned me onto both Highlander and Buffy) thinks that Richie becoming an Immortal was the Jump the Shark moment.
