I've lost count of the people I've told "It really is better this season" that have replied they were too put off by the previous seasons to try again.

That would be me. I liked S1 a lot, but S2 was nothing but a long slow descent into suckitude, and by now I've just lost interest.

Hence the cancellation.

I wonder if anything is left of the Star Trek teat?

Watching tonight's Smallville.

So does that mean Chloe has to die, now?

Smallville:

Finally!

Although it's sad that Alicia reverted to her crazy self again. Guess she was still a wee bit unstable.

Daniel: No, she'll just lose her memory by the end of the episode.

Heh. X-Posting.

P-C, I sincerely hope not.

Same here, Daniel.

But as to recent events: damn. They made Alicia sympathetic, made me like her, and then killed her. That's almost a bona fide arc there. And Clark's murderous rage would be interesting if I thought they'd consider it in future episodes.

My only problem with Smallville is Clark didn't check for a pulse, didn't try CPR, didn't rush her to a hospitial but instead just sat there screaming "No!" over and over again. I mean, I guess the body could have been cold but it just felt out of place for Clark to not try something.

I think it will be interesting to see where they go with Chloe now.

With you on the murderous rage most-likely getting dropped, P-C.

He probably did a quick scan, and her blood was congealed, and...

Clark wasn't in a murderous rage -- it was more a torturous rage. If it had actually been homicidal, dude would have been well dead. In fact, he must have been fighting to keep his anger in check, in order to not kill him.

Or the writing was sloppy.

Speaking of your problem, Kalshane, I wouldn't want Teague boy to rescue me. He did a lot of staring and talking and very little checking of his girlfriend found slumped in the tub.

eta: I have no idea why I whitefonted that.

But! Big Gay Luke!!! I'm so excited for next week.
