Smallville: Forsaken
Sep. 16th, 2004 04:20 pmSmallville: Forsaken and some Season Four thoughts
There was lots to like in this episode, most especially Lana in the box.
Emily the creepy girl was suitably scary. I had fun imagining what The Janitor would have made of her. I bet he would have stopped her in her tracks by heaping scorn upon Lana, thus helping her to see the error of her ways. But alas, her father only looked like The Janitor, so she was able to put her heinous plan into action unfettered by common sense or sardonic commentary.
I loved the scene where Lana was trying talk her way out of the box. She pulled out all of the tricks in the Lana lexicon, the shiny eyes of sweet sincerity, the passioned pledges of sisterhood, the charmingly accessorized outfit, but it was all for naught. I had a good laugh at the scene, and it ended up really endearing Lana to me, I’m not sure why.
Clark, you’re such an asshat! You’re adorable, but an asshat nonetheless. I wasted more time than I want to admit on a guy who had many Clark-like qualities, not least the indecisiveness and INCREDIBLY ROTTEN TIMING. Come on Clark, you should have taken your head out of the sand a long time ago and taken some sort of action. And don’t get all pissy with Lex. He’s only trying to help because he loves you, and all that you’ve done is be bitchy to him. As my mother is fond of saying “either shit or get off the pot”. Being a friend means that you need to take the feelings of other people into consideration. You can’t be someone’s “best friend”, lie continually, and then get mad at said friend for the same thing. I really wonder about his parents sometimes. For supposedly moral, upright people, they’ve created an emotional cripple through their paranoia. I blame Jonathan. Martha is cool.
And Lex, my god he’s got chemistry with everyone, doesn’t he? ( cut for season four spoilers/speculation )
Again, Lex and Lionel are amazing together. I’ve loved watching Lex be all smooth and spy-like around Lionel. He seemed so much more confident and uncaring of what Lionel thought; I wonder if that’s what made Lionel suspicious. I absolutely don’t understand how Lionel can talk about family loyalty when he was trying to frame Lex. And did Lex’s revelation about Justin’s death not have any effect on Lionel? I’m kind of confused. I assume that this all just means that Lionel is really freakin’ evil.
And Lex’s look when Lionel was taken away?
Wow.
