Art Crawl!!!

I missed the bit where Lana was having the nightmare . So she saw Jason's mom in a dream about being burned at the stake ? Before she actually met her ?

Clark doesn't get why Lex lied to him about all the women he's been seeing behind Clark's back. Hee.

Also, wasn't that scene between Clark and Lex kind of a State of the union of the relationship scene?

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

Another good episode? So weird! I liked the mystery, and the women were damn hot. The psycho looked like Caroline Dhavernas.

Hey, ita, do you think Lionel's pulling an Irina ?

I was thinking that as Clark gets more sure of himself and of what is right -- he pushes Lex further away from himself. Like he is almost forcing Lex to go bad.

And he pretty much said that Lex and Lionel have changed places in his trust tonight.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Watching a very old SG-1 (with the touched and untouched) and Dr. Frazier is just so cheerfully geeky. Plus, bonus points because she pronounced chlorpheniramine maleate correctly. Also, it's even the right drug for what she suspects is the problem.

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

I'm not sure about Lionel, P-C, except he's making me nauseous.

Also making me nauseous is the idea that Lex is full on faux-necrophiliacally Oedipal. I'm not too much of a fan of "oh, and by the way, for the last 13 months, we neglected to hint to you..." storytelling.

I'm not a fan of stupid women who think that casual sex with anyone (much less a playboy with what seems a rep) entitles them to even a phone call the next morning.

I'm not a fan of pouty virgins who get upset when someone they don't confide in doesn't confide in them.

I mean, I would have felt for Lex in this ep, since everyone else was so wrong, but I was busy trying to process his new disorder.

Well, that was Lionel's take on things. . . yeah?

It was Lionel's take on Lex duplicating his father's pattern and seducing brunettes and forgetting them quite entirely. Even before you bring the mother into it, I'm having a hard time.

Not with the casual sex -- just the strong typing, father's footsteps, and amnesia.

I think that's huge, and that the implication is way more creepy than Smallville will ever address.

Actually, you wonder -- given that we have no idea how long this has been going on -- whether Lex hasn't been programmed - I mean, his father spent a lot of time messing with his brain.

I just watched the Stargate Atlantis episode 12 (well, whatever is the first one back after break), and I quite like it, with a very VERY large Teyla-shaped exception. I hate her, where I just disliked her before. She's dumb.

Rest of the ep was cool, though (okay, maybe the CGI was a bit off). Probably my favourite Aquarium ep so far.

I also noticed that the UK seems to have already gotten the Battlestar Galactica eps, so they're available where people go to get things like that.

Woo! Makes me happy. January, right? Feh. That's far away.
