For those of you who watch...
What did you think of Clark and Lana, *ahem* ...getting intimate?
Lame attempt to draw viewers with salaciousness, or just character development?

Wait, wait... Superman bumped uglies with Lana? Wow. Gotta get some pre-Lois practice in, I guess, but...
I dunno, I stopped watching the show last season. I like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but that kinda sounds like even more of a desperate attempt to bring viewers back than having Clark fly was.

I thought it was pretty lame. It went on forever also. I was just sitting there "Geez, lets move along already". What they need is less Clark and Lana "bumping uglies" as LuckyOne put it and get back on the James Marsters story line. I want to see him as Brainiac.

Well, you could of course watch, what was it, season 6 of Buffy having endless sex with Spike. That will cure you of all randiness for quite some time.

It does kinda smack of desperation. There's also the fact that he STILL hasn't mentioned that he's an alien. That's the kinda thing that your signifcant other might appreciate being privy to.
Incidentally, the braniac/zod storyline does look promising, can't wait to see how Marsters plays Braniac.

I just can't bring myself to stop watching Smallville. It's incredibly cheesy and sometimes even stunningly infantile in terms of plot and writing, but I do love me some Superman, and it's typically a fun adventure show that doesn't need much concentration to watch - which makes it perfect to have on in the background when I do the dishes.
The Clark and Lana love scene really irked me. Mostly because it was unnecessarily long. I feel it was mostly included to: a) satisfy the female viewers with some candle-lit Clark chest, and b) get their relationship moving somewhere beyond the "I-love-you-stay-away-from-me" merry-go-round that they've been milking for the past three years. And more a) than b), I should add: what better way to hold onto your viewers than a little beef- and/or cheesecake? As far as plot movement, though, it wasn't necessary and could have been shorter. (And to have the cliché "camera move to the open window" as a closer was terrible.)
In short: it was a minute and a half that could have been used for actual storytelling, and I resented that fact. However, considering how poor last season was, I don't really think I should have expected more...

Wow. I haven't watched Smallville since the series premiere, but I have a friend who's been trying to get me to borrow his dvds for years. He's said to me twice in the past three weeks that the show's gone from good to better to exceptional. I guess that opinion's not as widely held as he thought.

oh don't get me wrong. I can't get enough of this show, and the last season really had me. Now that they've added some serious staples of the superman mythos, (lois lane, the fortress of solitude, braniac, mentions of general Zod, the phantom zone, and is anyone else thinking that 'jor-el' is really the eradicator?) I'm at the point where I've got a season pass on tivo so I never miss an episode.
The comic/fantasy elements are done really well, but on the romantic subplots we're veering dangerously into 'superman's creek' terrtitory. I have no objections to a romantic subplot, but I've got to agree with Drteeth. This was a lame move for an otherwise great show.

Wait a second! Is that even possible? Mallrats made it very clear that as long Clark Kent had his powers he couldn't get intimate with any girl the only way he could do this is if he had a Kryptonite Condom of course that would kill him.I'm surprised that none of you had brought that up already especially Justin.

Especially Justin?
Am I the keeper of the kryptonite kondoms now? If you want to point fingers, waggle them at Drew, our self-proclaimed comics geek. I just work here.

I think what Justin's trying to say, blinky, is that Brodie doesn't know everything, and if Superman's capable of controlling his strength enough to, say, get dressed without tearing his clothes or type up newspaper stories without wrecking the keyboard (and desk, and floor, and building foundation, and....), he can certainly "control himself" when getting intimate. It's true, only Wonder Woman would allow him to really get his freak on, but self-restraint is probably a small price to pay for him to be with the woman he actually loves. -D |
