In which I say a few words about last night's Smallville and Supernatural.
Spoilers, obviously.
Smallville 8x09
OMFG. Smallville this season. I can't. I just. It's a little hard for me to believe how awesome it's been. It hasn't been this awesome in years. I didn't know how Al and Miles leaving would go, not to mention Michael, but it's surpassed all my expectations, which were admittedly pretty low, but still. Still. To be honest, I was always going to stick with it until the end, no matter what. So I'm really pleased that Season 8 has actually been good.
About last night: it kicked ass. Chloe owns this show, man. She was brilliant, and I felt for her so much. I can't believe she's been losing her memories the whole time and just trying to hold onto the people she loves. I also kind of love that she forgot about Jimmy first, and that Clark was basically the last one she forgot. Yes, I know she still remembered Davis in the end, but that's only because of the Doomsday thing. The kiss was hot, though. ;)
I feel so sad for Davis, because to a certain extent what he's feeling for Chloe is real, but will he ever find out that she's essentially a beacon and a trigger for what he's becoming, and that he's drawn to her for a reason? Gah. Poor guy. I love this plotline, and I'm really curious how it all shakes out, not least because Doomsday winds up killing Superman in canon. I hope that's not what happens for Smallville. Obviously. XD
And Clark. =( I may have groaned "noooo" at the television when I realised he was going to make it so that Chloe no longer remembers his secret. That broke my heart. Their friendship ever since she first learned about him in Season 5 has been the best part of the show. And I know that Superman is sort of destined to be alone when it comes to his secret, but the idea that Clark is totally alone now makes me incredibly sad. And I'm afraid that if she doesn't end up getting those memories back somehow, she'll become a smaller part of the show, which is criminal.
Also, HOW CUTE WAS THAT FLASHBACK OF ICKLE!CHLARK? *squee*
Okay, enough SV rambling.
Supernatural 4x09
Not as much squee for this episode. I really just need the show to stop and turn back in the other direction with a quickness.
Let's talk about demon sex. Not even a little bit hot, sorry. Not for me, anyway. First of all, drunk!sam is not attractive. Drunk!sam is a douche. Actually, I miss S1 Sam more and more, because this season he's not really likeable at all. I get that he'd lost Dean and that he was messed up about it, but I feel like the way he got messed up about it wasn't really like him.
I also don't like how the show wasted so much airtime trying to stress upon us that the girl Ruby is inhabiting was a braindead coma patient. (I did like that Ruby was all "wait, why do you care all of a sudden where I got this body?" ~Foreshadowing ZOMG~).
You know what; fine, he's not raping anyone. Seriously: I don't care. It was still creepy. So basically she's slightly less aware than Uma Thurman in the hospital bed in Kill Bill, and we all know how hot that sex was. Jeez. At least Sam seemed to know it was creepy beforehand. Also, the scene was a little pastede on. It was, okay? Which, fine, I get it, eye candy, but whatever. Completely unnecessary.
Though it was almost worth it for this:
"Sam? Too much information."
THANK YOU, DEAN. FOUR FOR YOU, DEAN.
I'm not going to whine about Sam/Ruby on principle. I didn't mind the old Ruby, and I get that she saved him and all, but I don't know -- it's boring, and I really liked it better when I could let myself believe that they weren't fucking.
Also, Jared needs to stop working out. He's freaking huge. And like, don't get me wrong -- I love me some muscles, but it looks a little odd on his frame. I don't know if it was because he was drunk for half the episode, and maybe it was the bulky Carhart jacket, but watching him hulking around with his disproportionately-large top half made me snicker, a lot. Take a lesson from Tom Welling, Jared: when you gain all that muscle, you don't get to wear layers anymore. K? K.
I never thought I'd say this, but I miss lanky!emo!Sam. Sigh. Boring, grumpy, butch Sam is not cutting it for me.
Anyway, whatever. The show had its moments, and the season overall has been entertaining. Even the WTFery is amusing at least. Thank god for Dean, and Anna is really kind of sweet. His bemused reaction to her "Dean Winchester? The Dean Winchester? The angels can't stop talking about you. *looks at Sam* Oh, they don't really like you at all." Priceless. Because, really, I know that between the two brothers, Dean is supposed to be The Dick (in a good way). But that's not really true this season. This season they're both dicks, but he's the cuddly dick.
Um. That's enough, I think.
