boomqueenMy evil homework is over and I managed to catch up on eps my pretty TiVo had in store for me...
Smallville!
Of all the plot devices there are out there, Red Kryptonite is one of my favorites. I almost never find Tom Welling hot (cute, yes--attractive and well-built, yes--but not HAWT), but Red-K-Clark is just delicious.
But beyond the prettiness of the context, I really liked seeing how the uninhibited Clark acted on Red-K this time as opposed to previous instances of intoxication. He was still reckless and brash, but it was in a much more mature way than say when Alicia dosed him in high school. And the lack of inhibitions is a great device for airing all of the unsaid things between characters. [Though I thought it was weird that everyone else was quick to point out that he was obviously "intoxicated", rather than just being honest.] He even called his mom on her subtly developing relationship with Lionle--dayum!
Pretty much every interaction and pairing that was highlighted was handled well (though I really have to say, I am soooooo ready for Clark/Lana to be OVER ALREADY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD).
My favorite sneaky plot-twist: Lana's pregnancy is somehow being controlled/manipulated by Lex? And may not be entirely natural in origin? PRETTY PLEASE tell me that Lana is his own personal meteor-rock experiment, that he's super-charged his genetic component, or implanted some crazy 33.1 test tube baby. I NEED LANA'S STORYLINE TO BE ACTUALLY INTERESTING AGAIN.
The whole episode had a kind of "once more with feeling" overall effect: a big mess of secrets and tensions were revealed, and you cringed and cheered as you watched some relationships succeed and some fail. "There's not one of you that can say this ended well." (you know, the Sweet Demon! Because everything in fandom eventually comes back to Buffy...).

bellanut's picspam for this episode is awesome, so everybody go check it out!
The Office!
This week's episode was attack of the killer one-liners and awkward visuals--I love the writers sooooo much!
"My Man-meat he shall have!"
Dwight in freakin' bra!!!! (I need a million caps of that scene, especially when Rainn looks over his shoulder at the camera ALL SEDUCTIVE LIKE)
Michael asking Ben Franklin if he was wearing a thong!
Dwight's eternal frustration that he can't prove that the guy isn't the ACTUAL Ben Franklin!
And so many more. I need to go rewatch it.
Scrubs!
Dr. Kelso had the best line of the show: "Out of fairness, you will be Slagathor". WTF!!!
I loved the Republican dirty-talk when blondie and her intern both figured out they were secretly Republicans!
"I think it should be Ronald Reagan on the dollar bill"
"God that's hot"
Still have to watch this week's Bones...
In other news, I would like to state for the record that this BSG-less Sunday is completely unnecessary. Stupid freakin' SuperBowl.
I'll probably have my Joan Jett vid up later tonight though. Yay for Kara the screw-up and her pretty boy toys!!!!!!

- The heat and the tension between Clark and Lex was on fire--I'm counting on my slash f-listers to write some amazing angry!sex out of this ep. Especially the last scene when Clark called out "now tell me you don't love me" and BOTH Lex and Lana had this hesitant, vulnerable, about-to-cave face. gahhhhh.
- The foreward Lois paired with the uninhibited and jealous-of-Oliver Clark was funny and sexy (loved the "halibut and hot fudge" line).
- Lana and Chloe sort of rekindled friendship ties; I really loved the stance that Lana took at the beginning of "I'm fine with you keeping Clark's secret as long as you don't try to pretend that he doesn't have one."
- And Jimmy and Chloe! I loved their Valentines Day bliss at the beginning, and I was completely with them all the way through the inevitable breakup. To an outside/Jimmy perspective, Clark's behavior makes no sense and is pretty much wrong, so Chloe's knee-jerk support of him has to appear suspect.
