Lexmas was Smallville's first holiday-themed episode, which aired on December 8, 2005. L/Lers were especially fortunate because it featured a married Lex and Lana in the episode's alternate universe. In terms of SV-verse, alternate universes often foreshadow some things that would play out in real t . . . (More)

On August 17, I finally saw Void. Now, I have officially seen all of the S5 episodes. In Void, Lana falls into despair after her break-up with Clark and hangs around a med student, Lance, who has concocted a flatlining serum using kryptonite. She becomes hooked when her parents appear to her. Yearni . . . (More)

After five months, I've finally seen Vengeance, which is a really good follow-up for Reckoning. Like Whisper and Exile, there are several Superman foreshadowing references, including disrobing in a phone booth and double identities. Comments made after the first viewing are ancient history now, so t . . . (More)

So, my thoughts on S5 continue. Episode group: Hypnotic, Void, FragileRelationship arc: Lex abets the finality of the Clana break-up and romantic L/L beginsBest episode: FragileBest scene: Lex kisses Lex and Lana kisses him back (Fragile).

Season 5 was the season for the L/Ler. We saw the establishment of what some L/Lers call "Team Lexana", Smallville's resident dysfunctional, dark pairing. Below is a chart of Lex and Lana's interaction throughout the five seasons, specifically in terms of direct interaction, quasi-interaction (same . . . (More)

I've read a few reactions here and there, but I've tried to keep my reactions as untainted as possible. Since Friday I've been trying to find a way to articulate all the gasps and "Oh crap"s I uttered while watching Vessel. I have decided to use the lyrics of Sarah McLachlan's "World on Fire" for th . . . (More)

This is what Smallville is about! I wish I had more space to explore everything that had me riveted from the teaser to the trailer. I'm inclined to refer to Milton Fine as Brainiac, but since everyone is calling him Fine still, I'll do it as well. I was intrigued by his infiltration of Martha and Cl . . . (More)

Al Septien and Turi Meyer did a good job, although it was a filler episode. They admittedly take a leap between Mercy and Fade, but there may have been a few weeks between episodes. Lex and Lana are very comfortable with each other by the time the eppy starts, from the long make-out session to the r . . . (More)

I'm excluding my usual episode summary for Fragile in order to address a few things first:1. The writing and direction. Not a bad story, not a great story. I remarked around half-way through that the episode went by much slower than any other episode (which reminds me, I need to stop talking aloud t . . . (More)

I've been in the process of smoothening out kinks and tweaking the look of the blog for awhile. However, I think I'm finally settled. Many thanks to my L/L bud, Angie, for the great new banner! Now, new episodes began last Thursday, March 30, 2006 with Hypnotic. The remaining episodes include Void, . . . (More)
