Re: [scifinoir2] One Good Thing about "Smallville"
Clark and Lois are the only interesting things about the show, and again, that's weird because they've been introduced way too soon. IThe show is like a party where most of the guests have gone home, and a few people linger on long past the fun has died down. the stories are stupid. Last week, for example, they brought in a young actress (like everyone else in the cast, irritatingly young) to portray Maxima, the alien superpowered queen who fixates on Kal-El as her potential mate. Like everything else being introduced in the series, Maxima's appearance is about a decade too early, as in the comics she decided upon Superman due to his growing legend. In the show, some kind of blue Kryptonian crystal the late departed Lex had was activated for a moment, and somehow Maxima detected its energy pulse across the light years. She then traced the energy, to Earth, looking for a Kryptonian. It was horrible: they wrote it so that her kiss flooded a man's body with super pheremones which sped up their heart and killed them. So the idiot lady literally walked around the city kissing any man who struck her fancy, and then as they died would say "sorry, i thought you might be the Kryptonian I seek, but I guess not".

[scifinoir2] One Good Thing about "Smallville"
You all know I've been a longtime critic of "Smallville". I feel the show jumped the shark years ago with endless tales of Meteorock monsters, silly love triangles, and premature introduction of characters that shouldn't show up in Clark's life for years to come. And worse, the elimination of just about any character over 30 (John and Martha Kent, Lionel Luthor) makes it look more like "The O.C." or something than ever. Even Lex and Lana are gone. Not the same show at all. But watching tonight's ep (I'm a masochist), one thing did occur to me again: Tom Welling and Erica Durance make a really good Clark and Lois team. The actor's have undeniable chemistry, whether it's doing their constant not-too-serious bickering, competing for a story, or backing each other up in a crisis. Durance is the perfect foil for Clark, saucy and rude, cynical. She's a perfect counterpoint to the oh-so-serious, kinda square Clark. Durance is also a lot more authentic Lois, a lady whose attitude and physical size make you believe she can take care of herself in a tight spot--completely unlike the slight, girlish, extremely meek-acting Kate Bosworth from the last movie. She holds her own with Welling in every way. They also have pretty good comic timing. Watching the two, I think more and more how sad it is that they couldn't have been used in the Superman movies, instead of Bosworth and Routh. Too bad that'll never happen, 'cause they're wasted in a show that's increasingly adrift...
