It took me a while to realize why this episode was so wistfully artful: it’s a funeral farewell. I’m not sure why the creators are so upset, seeing as the only person who seems to be on her way out is Lana. And it’s not like that hasn’t happened before. Or, maybe, it’s my lucky day and the eighth and final season won’t include her! read more »

I have been a bad, bad reviewer. I’ve let well on four weeks worth of Smallville go by and I’ve only just caught up. Fortunately, the show decided to only feature about one review’s worth of material in that time, so I can summarize “Fracture, “Hero, and “Traveler” in just one post! read more »

Thanks to a number of reasons that don’t need exploring at this juncture ( plus or possibly minus 5 cool points to the first person to get that reference), yours truly has been away from the recapping business for the past few episodes, which have varied wildly in quality.

The gum is called Stride, and if you miss it the first time, don’t worry: you’ll be reminded approximately umpteen billion times in between small snippets of recycled plot from seasons past. read more »

From now on, there needs must be an entire exchange wherein Clark has his hypocritical ass handed to him in every episode. Because I got to swoon through one that marked the return of Oliver Queen, and I’ve still got the vapors-the vapors of awesome. True, he’s subsequently saddled with dialogue so leaden Clark can’t see through it and he’s still chasing Lois, but otherwise it’s a welcome return for the leader-at-large of the proto-JLA. Hello, Nurse! Er, Green Arrow! read more »
