Surreptishus Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I wouldn't call Bruce angsty... and definitely not a dumbass. Brooding genius is apt.
Calax Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I wouldn't call Bruce angsty... and definitely not a dumbass. Brooding genius is apt. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh he's got barrels of angst... He's also paranoid. He's paranoid enough that he almost caused the entire Justice league to die. And he was part of the cause of the Infinite crisis by creating a computer system that tried to kill the entire superhuman population with OMACs! Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
ElNino Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Spoiler post about the season premiere: Blah! That was horrible... my poor eyes. What kind of pussyass way to "win" the big match was that? Amulet-Handshake-of-Death. *sigh* I think I have finally figured out why I have been watching the show. It's not for rhe excitement of what adventures our young and brave hero will endure, but rather a faint hope that the scriptwriters at some point will boldly go where they clearly are not permitted to go. Ehh... let me explain: It's Superman. We all know what's going to happen - at least in the big picture. That means we have nothing truly surprising to look forward to. Which again mean we are watching for the off chance that something "special" or fascinating will happen. Take this season premiere for example. The most exciting moment was when Lana got stabbed through her pretty hand. That took me a bit by surprise. But wait! Was it anything special? No. And thous we reach the conclusion: even special moments aren't special because the show can not break from itself. If Zod/Lex instead had simply killed her I would truly have been impressed. Beacuse then we could have a really vicious fight between wonderboy and evilboy which should have ended with the death of Lex. Now that would have made me watch episode 2.
Calax Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 well at least lex isn't trying to kill superman for making lex loose all his hair in a science project. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
astr0creep Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 What I didn't like about this premiere is that by the end, it's all back to normal. At first it seemed very interesting, the episode starts in the phantom zone. Clark meets some intersting people who will obviously be back during the season. I would've liked it if Clark could've found his way out on his own but hey, they must always introduce a new babe every episode, right? Overall I agree with ElNino 100%. The writers aren't allowed risks or even an ounce of originality, even with a season premiere. I don't care about Jimmy Olsen, at least not as much as I do for what was supposed to be the big fight between Superman and Zod. They copped out yet again. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/

I too found the hand stabbing to be the most interesting part. :D What I didn't like about this premiere is that by the end, it's all back to normal. .... They copped out yet again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well it is Smallville. I agree that the writers copped out and that the "return to normal" thing was lame. It is like that every flipping season! I think the show is just focusing and has always focused on its core demo of teenage girls, hence over emphasis on crappy one-dimensonal romance plots and not taking risks. Maybe things will change this season, as forshadowed by Clark's little piece about change at the end of the episode. Until then and despites my protests it still remaisn my guilty pleasure :"> Edited September 30, 2006 by Surreptishus

ElNino Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Its a nod to the end of Superman II. I too found the hand stabbing to be the most interesting part. :D Yes I know but.. *sigh*. I actually thought we would see him flying in the in this episode.
Surreptishus Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 I thought so too. Alas this show seems to be some kind of perpetual ****tease... at least with regards to flying.
Calax Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 they promised that Clark would NEVER wear the suit and NEVER fly (They get away with Kal flying because he's a different person.) Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Kor Qel Droma Posted September 30, 2006 Author Posted September 30, 2006 I don't know about this show anymore. On the one hand you do take it with a grain of salt, you know, because as has been stated already, it's not like they can rewrite the myth. For a moment there at the end I thought we were having a flashback to season 2 or 3 ( or damn was it four?) with Lex holding what was left of the Brainiac hard drive. Seeing that bit made me realize we're going to sit through at least four or five episodes of Lex discovering some new weapon. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
astr0creep Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Although Kor was right about the new weapon thing, the last episode was pretty good. We finally got scenes with an actual superhero in action. And at the end it felt like Superman was there, not some big goof being sad about loosing his girlfriend. Most of the Green Arrow scenes were pretty awesome, plus Lana in the elevator was just... chilling. She's good at being evil and it's about time she found her calling. It was a good Smallville episode, let's leave it at that. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Surreptishus Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 It was a good Smallville episode, let's leave it at that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NO! I agree with most of what you said... Green Batman scenes were fun. However Lana is unconvincing as evil, the witers keep jerking her character around - she should die soon.
alanschu Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 I gave up on this show in the middle of last season. I realized I was continuing to watch it just because I had watched it for a while. I've actually quit watching the WB (or whatever they call themselves) altogether, since they dropped Everwood.
astr0creep Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 However Lana is unconvincing as evil, the wRiters keep jerking her character around - she should die soon. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, you're right. The character needs focus or death. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
astr0creep Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 But the continuity with Superman III <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They seem to be going for a Justice League type of storyline. Who's left, Hawk Girl? http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Calax Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 do they have the martian manhunter? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Kor Qel Droma Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 I'll admit that this Green Arrow plotline isn't as ****ty as I'd thought it would be. At least he's a better actor than the **** they had playing Aquaman. I agree with Surreptishus, however, that it would be in the best interests of this show to dump Lana. It's like her storyline always seems to be an afterthought, as in " what the hell do we do with her now?" fashion. Aside from that this show is on 'status quo' mode for me. You kind of know what to expect, so it's not really suprising to watch, yet slightly entertaining. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
astr0creep Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Booring episode. I'm wondering if the continuous present of Green Arrow is not simply because the CW needs to complete Justin Hartley's contract after Aquaman's failure. Seem like Clark is taking a back seat. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
astr0creep Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Ok, so who was that? Martian Manhunter? (w00t) http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 18, 2006 Author Posted November 18, 2006 That was my guess as well. I just don't remember him having the whole 'burning touch' power. And an Oreo addiction. I really hope this is the last season for this show. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
astr0creep Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Is there a superhero that loves Oreo cookies or was this just another "subtle" plug? http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
