annundrielRunning commentary-thing. Whee.
Smallville - "Arrival"
- Two seconds into SV and already Clark's holding a phallic object.
- New credits!
- Creepy black alien! They bring some ethnicity to the show and they make it alien.
- Lana is almost blown up.
NATASHA: How does she not die?! I don't know!
- And, of course, the aliens speak English.
- Would they just *shut up* about the tattoos?
- "Where'd you go, Chloe?" Wow, Lex. That didn't sound like you had another agenda in finding her at all. ::eyeroll:: But, hey, he finally got into the chamber thing. My money's on Lex eventually killing Chloe.
- Put the friggin' pieces together, Lex! Geez.
- Chloe! Oh, you're gonna wish you died last season by the time this season's through. So Chloe ends up wandering around in Antarctica and runs across the Atlantis base there. They take her in and give her a coat and some fleece. They discover that she has the Ancient gene and so they send her to Atlantis. Where she is safe, except from the Wraith. But that's better than the mutants on SV getting her. She stays on the base and activates things and maybe records stuff for prosperity. Chloe's a smart girl, they'll find something for her to do. And then, depending on what season we're going with here (I'm inclined to go with two, Natasha with one) she either gets it on with Ford (pre-drugs) or Lorne. Maybe Teyla.
Oh, whoops. So they're in the arctic, not Antarctica. Which means she can't stumble across the base. Damn. I still like my plan though.
- Finally Clark knows that Chloe knows.
- OMG! Lex! Why did you stop?! You could have RUN OVER gimpy Lana! They taunt us! Although Natasha says that I missed Lana fainting and Lex just letting her hit the ground. Hee!
- CLARK: You're a good friend.
CHLOE: Obviously not good enough.
Aww. ::swats clark::
- "I will never be the iceberg to your Titantic." OMG. Who talks like that? Oh, yeah. Chloe.
- Okay, so I am well aware that Chloe is a big bag full of cliches and stuff, but I love her loads anyway. I just think she's cool. And I liked how they handled the alien revelation scene.
- Lionel. AHAHahahahaha. Um. Okaaaaay. So what's up with him? Is he with the aliens? Is he against them? Is he like one of the Priors on SG-1? What is up?
- I still like Lois. I didn't see all of last season, but I think she's spunky and not annoyingly so from what I saw.
- Aw, Lex is all (pretend) caring and Clark is all "pssh, whatever." I say "pretend" because he's really looking for Chloe, isn't he.
- "Then be straight with me for once." ::snort:: Lex, honey, Clark couldn't be straight with you if his life depended on it.
- So, Lana, that was actually pretty smart. Except for the part where you didn't completely plan it out. I guess that can be attributed to the fact that all she knew was what Lionel said. "Their home is their weakness." Which could actually be a really neat kind of symbolic thing if it weren't so literal. Or something.
- Wow. Getting rid of the bad guys was way too easy. But neat inclusion of the mirror-thing. (It's been forever since I saw the movie. I can't remember what it's called.) Oh, and now Clark's gotta go take care of Lana.
- Blood! Clark's bleeding! Oooh. Dire consequences. Clark's all human-fied.
- Favorite quote? Comes from the commercial for Everwood.
DUDE ONE: You have a problem with gay people?
DUDE TWO: No, I just feel like I have to vacuum all the time.
- Hey, with Clark's loss of abilities, that means Chloe is stuck wherever he left her. And they can't even get her back to Smallville without anyone noticing because Clark can't zip over and get her and pretend nothing happened.
- Oh, Lex found her. How'd he find her?
- Lana/Clark is, to quote Natasha, "incredibly annoying and disturbing." And I'm kind of annoyed that Clark still likes to just completely forget/dismiss Chloe for Lana.
- "Actually, Lana, I do." Don't go there, Clark. Not with her. Garr.
- Of *course* Lex has the spaceship.
- Hi James Marsters. Nice to see you again. Don't be stupid and weird.
- It's sad that the *only* mention of Jason was about a socialite and her son. Poor Jason. No love. He deserved more than that, even if he did go psycho. And no one even mentioned the fact that his body was still in the Kent home. No one mentioned him at all. Geez.
So. Overall? This could actually be a decent season, I think. If not for the inevitable amounts of Clark/Lana. Bleh. But the Lex and Chloe and Lionel stuff seems promising. (Besides which, I've always found them most interesting anyway.) I'm gonna cross my fingers for it.
