Ahhhh... waiting all week for tonight! Thursday is not only my busiest day of school/work, but it's also the one day of the week that I watch TV.
So, there was the boyfriend geeking out over "Smallville" all night, followed by the creepiest episode of "Supernatural" that I have ever seen (and they do do--heehee--creepy very well).
Tonight's "Smallville" included an action-packed visit from the Justice League, or something similar. There was no Batman, so it's not quite as cool as the actual Justice League. I've only missed one episode of "Smallville" during its entire run, and that happened to be the previous Flash episode from season 4. It's odd that I missed an episode from that season since it was packed with Jensen Ackles goodness. Anyway, the Flash returned along with Cyborg, Aquaman, and Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) in what can only be described as a fanboy orgasm. It's only slightly less dirty than it sounds. So, there was a lot of squeeing on his end of the couch, but in a totally manly way (he says). Lex Luthor was all bad-ass and whatnot (and looked COMPLETELY awesome doing so), so I find that I am actually looking forward to the rest of the season. This is quite a change from last week when I told the boyfriend that the Lana-Clark storyline was "so played out."
To go off on that rant: I was highly disappointed that Clark never told Lana his secret while they were in high school. I mean, what the hell? All of my Superman knowledge tells me that Lana was Clark's high school girlfriend who knew his secret. In high school, they dated (actually dated) for about an episode and half. Then, drama.... neverending drama about Clark not telling Lana the truth and their non-existent "relationship." In college, they *sort of* dated. I guess. Now, I find myself looking forward to Lex and Lana getting married and having a baby. Not because I'm a Lana fan, but that Clark ship sailed. Plus, Lex is the reason I watch this show. I'd like to see Lana turn evil. THAT would be entertaining.
All the comic book goodness was followed by a scary episode of "Supernatural." I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's "Supernatural," so I loved it. On the other, the writing wasn't all that tight, and it felt like a season one episode. But, I did love season one -- just not quite the level of quality I've come to expect from season two. When you have Sam and Dean, there's also good stuff -- plus, they're just nice to look at. *Grin*
The bad: the writing wasn't quite right, it seemed a little off. It's like Kripke started reading fanfiction and gave those fans a present. A few jokes were very "what the hell?" Plus, the subtext went to a fangirl extreme. I mean, yay, fun... but, I have my limits. I'm not into Dean/Sam. Dude...brothers! And? No hugs. I was totally faked out, what with all the fangirly moments.
The good: did I mention creepy? It was scary, scary, scary. I'll need to watch this again with the lights on, in the middle of the day. There were some nice fan moments -- Dean calling John an ass, drunk!Sammy, Sam collecting dolls, and Dean seemed normal. Like I said, it was like a big present all wrapped up. Also good? Sam. Sam looked GOOD.
I'll have a final verdict after I watch it again tomorrow.
