Thirst Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[rumpuso]

I thought this was interesting in next week's TV Guide:

Chloe fans are not going to be happy when Carrie Fisher drops in as the brittle Daily Planet honcho who gives their favorite newsie a rude awakening about her future at the paper. Hopefully, the tongue-in-cheek irony of Lana with a vampire sorority girl named Buffy, while ex-Spike James Marsters settles in a Professor Fine, is enough to take away some of the sting.

[Brainiac 8]

God, this episode just has cornball written all over it.:rolleyes:


But it is made up for with Carrie Fisher, Brainiac and Lex. Yea Baby!!!

Completely agreed. Chloe in the DP with Carrie Fisher, Brainiac and Lex interacting will save this episode. But the vampire/Buffy stuff WILL be hard to take.:down

There are so many other excellent elements in this episode, they didn't have to toss in a vampire side story. :rolleyes:

Gah! I'm just hoping it turns out to be better on screen than it looks on paper. I DID enjoy Spell, despite the witch protestations and ridiculous plot, so I'm hanging in there. ;)

I think its cool they're having a Halloween themed episode, at least the vampire theme is not for no good reason, and Clark in a costume sounds cute...honestly I'm ready for a little levity on SV, I really don't need to be crying every episode, lol

[triplet]

True... :up:

Excellent points, Melly.

I agree Melly. And I honestly think that Lex has something to do with these Vampires, as he turns up in the hospital to give Chloe the serum.

Lana appears to have gained some of Clark's powers, so that should play out in a fun way.

But as you say its a fun Halloween episode and not every episode needs to be gut wrenching and full of mythology.

[KikiDee]

Kinda have to agree. There are so many other excellent elements in this episode, they didn't have to toss in a vampire side story. :rolleyes:

J/K

Nah, my biggest beef is the whole vampire thing. I have no problem with a Halloween episode. I just think they could have been a little more creative. Mind you, I know I haven't seen the episode yet, but they're even *advertising* the FOTW's as vampires. Blech. At least episodes like Nocturne and Skinwalkers had horror-based plots without making blatant references to genre staples like werewolves.

It seems apparent that Thirst's vampire subplot is there to pander to Buffy fans and help spike (pun intended) the episode's ratings. I just hope it works and doesn't backfire on 'em. They used sex to boost the ratings in the fourth season and that didn't go over so well.

All that said, I'm still looking forward to the ep. Even a bad episode of SV is better than most of the other junk on TV today. :up:

[avidreader]

Nicely said, Melly.
I like it that they try to mix it up a bit. That's a big part of why I liked Sacred - they got out of SV for once! I guess I just like an occasional change of pace. Both Buffy and XFiles were successful with stepping outside the norm on occasion, and I think SV can do the same.

Or, it could suck. :D

(Suck.. get it?)

[triplet]

Im not gonna be here for the eps,Im gonna be at districts..darn districts!!:mad:...does anyone know when they will show tommarows SV again?

I don't know if there's anyone who knows when episodes get repeated but there are such things as VCR's and TiVO's... you might want to invest in one.

I think you can get a vcr for about $30 at walmart....

[The Incredible Hulk]

with the roll the writers have been on so far this season, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Honestly, I dont mind when they do the tongue in cheek stuff like naming the vampire "Buffy" or having Aquaman say that he doesnt "travel with an Entourage". Sure it might be a bit cheesey, but it's nice nod to those two shows. I think people are getting way too wound up about this..

[avidreader]

I love nods like that... and the best one I ever saw was Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Maverick. Now that really had me on the floor laughing my ******* face off.

I think if its done well, then it is extremely entertaining. And as Hulk said, the writing has been really good so far this season. Some lightheartedness will be welcomed by episode 5.:up:

[user123456789]

Are the writers intervied, ever? I would love for someone to ask them what you just typed.

[tonytr1687]

Does anyone know why Brainiac has an agenda against Lex? Or is that something we have to find out?

[\S/JcDc\S/]

It's on the WB so lets make a Buffy reference :rolleyes: LAME

[Serene]

I just looked at the trailer caps for Thirst that are posted at K-Site.

Is Chloe dressed as Brittany Spears in that schoolgirl video? LOL.. Cute.

They also show Lana in costume as a black cat (one of my favorite costumes, btw. :)).. but sadly, no peek at what our Hero is going to be wearing. I'm dying to know.. Something with a cape according to spoilers. I really hope it's :batman: . Hey.. they keep saying they can't have Bruce Wayne on the show, so this would be a clever way to at least squeeze a little in.

Poor Lana.. Lois gets to prance around in a hot bikini (two actually) and Lana gets to wear fake vampire teeth and make silly vamp faces. :(

[Kal-El 8]

Ok, the trailer sucked (lana as a vampire) Oh brother , :rolleyes:

So far all I'm looking forward to in this episode is.

(1) Chloe goes to The Daily Planet and meet's Carrie Fisher

(2) Clark in a costume

(3) Brainiac

(4) More SOB Lex Luthor.

Other than that I have no intrest in seeing a ridiculous vampire theme with Lana. becoming a vampire. :down :down

[Kal-El 8]

Poor Lana.. Lois gets to prance around in a hot bikini (two actually) and Lana gets to wear fake vampire teeth and make silly vamp faces. :(

Because Lois Lane has a hot body, unlike Lana. :D

[KikiDee]

The same guy who wrote spell wrote this one. Poor Kristen it looks like this guy likes to take his fantasies out on Lana.

[cheungcheung]

They used sex to boost the ratings in the fourth season and that didn't go over so well.


but then again, they used sex to boost the ratings for this season, and that DID go well. :up:

[X-Ray]

wrong episode :o

[LostSon88]

I know I should use better judgement and NOT have an opinion on this episode yet...BUT, this episode looks like our first miscue of the year. Hopefully the subplots of the episode can redeem it. (Vampires? really?)

[Serene]

Because Lois Lane has a hot body, unlike Lana. :D

I've pretty much had it with you bashing Lana in every single one of your posts. You're free to post whatever you want, but I will no longer be reading any of it.
*plonk*

[DarthSkywalker]

This looks ugly, but will have to wait. I didn't expect anything out of "Hidden" and that may have been the best episode of the series.

[The Incredible Hulk]

anyone take into account that this is the ep right before Halloween, and the whole episode is Halloween themed? There not dedicating an entire episode as a lame nod to Buffy. I mean I know Whedon invented vampires and all, but c'mon :rolleyes:

Really the preview looks "meh" to me. But the writers have been 4 for 4 this season thus far, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. I thought Transference sounded uber lame going into last season, and thats one of the eps that really blew me away... Especially since there a rumored scene in this ep of Clark doing something, that may make some fans squeal (happily)

Assuming SV keeps the relative timelines correct, Batman doesn't "exist" yet in SV continuity. He's just like Superman in that regard.

I really only see two possibilities:

* Dracula, which would fall into the episode nicely considering the story, or
* Warrior Angel, which would be GREAT foreshadowing since Warrior Angel is a "strange visitor from another planet who protects the weak."

I mean I know Whedon invented vampires and all, but c'mon :rolleyes:LOL! Nah, I don't see it as a whole episode dedication, and I do like the Halloween theme, but the use of vampires as a plot point - with one of them actually *named* "Buffy," IS a ratings gimmick. It has as much to do with Marsters' casting as Reeve's was explaining Clark's origins in Rosetta, or Wopat playing a character named "Jennings," driving around in a Dodge Charger - with doors that are stuck shut no less - in Exposed. ;)

I thought Transference sounded uber lame going into last season, and that's one of the eps that really blew me away...When I first heard about the plot of Transference, I couldn't WAIT to see it. I *knew* it was going to be one of my favorite episodes ever. We talked about that ep (prior to its airing) quite a bit in the old TW thread over in the film forum because we knew it was going to be Welling's chance to show some acting chops since he could shed the simplicity that was Clark for one episode.

Especially since there a rumored scene in this ep of Clark doing something, that may make some fans squeal (happily)The only rumored scene that stands out to me is Lana getting heat vision temporarily. That STILL bugs me to no end. What scene are you thinking of? Give me something to look forward to in this vampire plot, Hulk. Right now, the only thing I'm hanging my hat on is Chloe at the Daily Planet, and Clark wearing a Halloween costume with a cape. LOL

Since the spoilers mentioned a mask too, I'm going to go with Zorro, since he's wearing all black in the trailer--and Zorro has a cape.
I'm going to reserve judgement until I see the ep, because they may just have fun with it, and its Halloween, and they've been really good about using whatever happens in the show to advance the plot, and I know Lex for some reason has the serum to cure Chloe, so something is going on there, and then we have Dr. Fine (who I love!) So it may turn out to be good after all:)

[Sentinel X]

I think you can get a vcr for about $30 at walmart....I have a VCR but now that we have OnDemand(which means no Tivo) the VCR cable had to be removed and there is no way to record TV shows now.Thanks but I cant:( ...Dont they give Smallville on sundays?..but Im not sure if its repeats of last week's eps.Can anyone confirm this for me? please.

[NHawk19]

I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt though the spoilers and trailer have made it pretty tough.

My big hangup is the Lana heat vision thing. Why do they need to constantly give her some kind of power? Though what bugs me most about this is that the powers come from meteor rocks and are temporary. WTF does that mean every FOTW is gonna haver their powers wear off?

But if thats the only thing I guess I can handle it bro

[DIRECTOR]

this episode looks stupid with the vampire crap

they could have had a better episode if they leave all that behind and trusted on human interactions

[Brainiac 8]

If it is taken as satirical and is supposed to be funny, I'll be able to ignore the majority that worries me. I guess there is no reason that SV can't do a halloween episode.


There is just so much other stuff in this episode to like though. All the non Vamp stuff is going to just outright rock!

[The Question]

Well, about vampires, they are a part of the DCU, and Superman has had run ins with them in the past. Since this series is about him learning about the world on his path to becom,e Superman, encountering vampires (and any mystical creatures/demons) is inevitable. I know they had the witches last season, but there's more to the DCU magic than that.

[Serene]

But Bruce Wayne doesn't wear a cape. :confused:
I know.. but Bats does! I should have said Batman, that's the costume I meant.

Assuming SV keeps the relative timelines correct, Batman doesn't "exist" yet in SV continuity. He's just like Superman in that regard.
He could exist in the SV universe as the fictional superhero that he is. They've made references to Superheroes.. so I think it would be within the realm of possibility at least. But it is doubtful they'll do that. Doing so essentially closes the door of ever having Bruce Wayne as a character make an appearance. Even though they say it will never happen, why close the door on it?

I really only see two possibilities:

* Dracula, which would fall into the episode nicely considering the story, or
* Warrior Angel, which would be GREAT foreshadowing since Warrior Angel is a "strange visitor from another planet who protects the weak."
LOL.. Dracula was one of the guesses I made last night while talking to trip in late night IM's. :) But the spoilers say he's wearing a mask with the costume, so we ruled that out.
Warrior Angel is a REALLY good one!

The only rumored scene that stands out to me is Lana getting heat vision temporarily. That STILL bugs me to no end.
That's one scene that I am looking forward to. For some reason I find it hysterical.
But you know.. I have sense-of-humor issues. :D

Give me something to look forward to in this vampire plot, Hulk. Right now, the only thing I'm hanging my hat on is Chloe at the Daily Planet, and Clark wearing a Halloween costume with a cape. LOL
Clark with a cape... isn't that enough? Hey.. maybe the cape is the entire costume! LOL.. I could look at that for 46 minutes.. easy! ;)

[NHawk19]

If we assume that SV will give reference to other Superheros how about this for a costume:

http://www.glcorps.org/alan.gif


Alan would have been around then based upon Batman Hush. Atleast I think it was Hush where as a child BW went to Metropolis and saw him.

[The Lizard]

I must predict massive suckage (pun intended) for this vampire episode. :o

[avidreader]

Clark looks like he's wearing black pants and a black shirt, so I would probably go with the Zorro thing. Although it would have been great to see him as Batman.

I wanna know too Hulk what you're referring to, it has me intrigued.

Guys and gals this is gonna be a fun episode with lots of other goodies happening. So I say we sit back and enjoy it. :up: :)

From the looks of the coming attractions, next week's episode is going to be pretty awful. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. Now, I don't expect the writers to hit the ball out of the park for every episode of Smallville. I can only hope that viewers won't write off the show because of next week's episode and stop watching altogether. That would be a mistake because the November sweeps episodes sound AWESOME! :up:

and I just went back and looked at the shot where I thought he was wearing the Zorro hat and now I'm not so sure.

When he's in Lex's study he's got a long sleeve black shirt on, but at the dance its definitely sleeveless.

I just think this episode is going to have me in fits of laughter. That's gotta be a good thing, right. :up: :)

What Has The Show Come To When Brainiac, An Important Villian, Comes To Smallville To Be A Professeur

It's brilliant. Brilliant. It'll be easier for him to get into Clark's head that way and influence his choices.

And he quotes Groucho Marx! How can you not like that in an evil super computer? Compare that to Lex who quotes from obscure German poets and ancient Greek Historians....

He's like the anti-Lex. More accesible. He's not intellectually elitist like Lex, but still obviously smart and he challenges Clark.

Which Clark needs, btw. No one really does that on an intellectual level, not even Lex.

Clark has already warmed to Fine so I think it's brilliant.

You'll see.

Damn... I had a long reply all written out and I lost it....

I talk about this some in my review, but I think it's brilliant.

Brainiac coming in as a professor who can teach Clark about how things really work (especially about what "really" happened to Krypton) is briliant. Clark looks up to him already, so it will be easier for Brainiac to insinuate himself into Clark's life that way and influence his actions.

It's a far better choice than, say, coming in as a neighbor or something like that. As Clark's professor, Clark will see him several times a week and now that he's Fine's research assistant maybe even see him almost daily.

He'll have a huge influence on Clark's changing viewpoint on his place in the world, even before Clark realizes he's even being influenced.

It's brilliant.

[rumpuso]

Strike me down, but I've seen the second trailer and this episode looks so so so so stupid silly. Last year when they aired the Spell trailer, I was VERY intrigued. I personally thought they pulled off the witch theme in *that* episode very well, and of course I am a big fan of shirtless Clark + TC. However, Thirst literally makes me feel immediately embarassed for them (and me for sitting there and watching it). I hope they play it up so that it truly is humorous as it looks. But the Smallville crew as vampires is just not sitting well with me. TC or not.

[avidreader]

of course it is

Fine And The Spaceship
- In one of the last scenes of the episode, Fine has made his way into the LuthorCorp hangar and is face to face with the black Kryptonian spaceship. He smiles like a man returning home. He reaches out to touch the ship, but is interrupted by a clicking noise. Lex's henchman, Ramirez, is behind him and has a gun pointed to his head. "Shouldn't be putting your hands on things that aren't yours, professor," Ramirez tells him.
- "Actually, it is mine," Fine tells him. His hands morph into black metal spikes which pierce Ramirez's skull. Fine turns back to the ship and touches it. As his hand touches the ship, it too morphs into black metal. His entire body follows as he is absorbed back into the hull of the ship.....

Yep! A bit of light hearted fun for the Holiday.

However, I think its going to end on a very intriguing note, which will bring viewers back to find out what is going to happen.

Was this the one that Hulk said Clark would do something to make us squeal with delight?

I'm not sure. I do remember him saying that but I cant remember what he was referring to.

I was talking about Brainiac and the spaceship.

[Kal-El 8]

of course it is

Fine And The Spaceship
- In one of the last scenes of the episode, Fine has made his way into the LuthorCorp hangar and is face to face with the black Kryptonian spaceship. He smiles like a man returning home. He reaches out to touch the ship, but is interrupted by a clicking noise. Lex's henchman, Ramirez, is behind him and has a gun pointed to his head. "Shouldn't be putting your hands on things that aren't yours, professor," Ramirez tells him.
- "Actually, it is mine," Fine tells him. His hands morph into black metal spikes which pierce Ramirez's skull. Fine turns back to the ship and touches it. As his hand touches the ship, it too morphs into black metal. His entire body follows as he is absorbed back into the hull of the ship.....

For those of you saying all four of this season's episodes have been great,...(in my best Chandler Bing immitation) did you SEE the Aquaman episode last weak,...I mean week? I don't even regularly read Aquaman, I usually see him in JLA,...but I know this,...what I saw on Smallville,....WASN'T Aquaman,...not even a little.

[triplet]

I liked Aqua, but it was far from great. Poor direction and zero on-screen chemistry between Lois and Arthur were it's biggest faults.

Marsters made up for those lacks almost entirely by himself, however.

well considering he's not "Aquaman" yet, I'm not exactly sure why you expected to see full fledged Aquaman? His origin about his parents was spot on from the comics. He could swim incredibly fast and was focused on protecting the world's oceans. Sounds like a young Arthur Curry to me...

Chloe in the DP with Carrie Fisher, Brainiac and Lex interacting will save this episode. But the vampire/Buffy stuff WILL be hard to take.:down


Not adding to the discussion, because this basically sums it all up.

[BaK]

I never cared about the vampires stories..
I never watched a minute of Buffy The Whatever.. Has my zero level interest..
So everything would point to ''logical'' conclusion - I will not enjoy Thirst..
Wrong.. I know I will.. No way in hell I won't.. :)

Seems funny? Cheesy? Ilogical, inconsistent?
Not really..

Let's ''rationalize away''..

Take Beatles and their way of mixing things up..
I do not care about blues, jazz, or indian music..
I care even less about umm, vaudeville ''stuff''..
But will I enjoy a Beatle song with elements of these?
Of course I will.. :)

You should too ;)

The Coldhearted Aquaman who's got stupid Super powers ?

Well I don't.

I liked Smallville's version of Aquaman / Arthur Curry, He a young Man who cares about both The sealife & Humanlife . And want's to save the world. This version of Aquaman has a heart, feelings , a little more depth to his character . and cool Super powers.

I can't wait to see all the costumes. I wish Lex would dress up too.. that would be great. :)

I like this version of Aquaman, He smiles, He laughs, He likes to have fun / He doesn't feel like his powers are a curse, I can actully see (if The WB ever decided to do a spin-off of this version of Aquaman) Why Mera (his future Wife,) would fall in love with him.



What do you mean? His powers rule!


Smallville's Version of Aquaman can shoot super Water bombs .

In the comic all Aquaman can do is (Swim fast, Super strength, and talk to sea life animals.)



Okay.

Good, glad you understand.

If this Episode was simply about Halloween then they don't need every female in it half naked looking like Porn Stars. You don't see the XMAS Episode featuring any of the females half naked like in this upcoming one do you & even the Buffy & Angel shows none of the Female Characters were half naked. I HIGHLY doubt its to do with James Masters casting.

I want to understand why the WB chose to promote the vampire theme so heavily in their trailer rather than promoting Carrie Fisher. I would think that if they wanted to retain their fanboy audience from Aqua, they should have touted Carrie Fisher's arrival on the show.

Instead of focusing on the kryptonite powers for Lana and the Vampires, SV should have promoted this one first as specifically a Halloween ep and not let it be inferred from the content. I think then some like myself would be more forgiving.

Didn't one of the spoilers say it's not *real* vampirism..but some green-K related syndrome? It's not a far stretch to imagine Luthorcorp having a hand in starting it (don't all their "experiments" go awry?;)). If they started it, then maybe they also have the cure.

Is it Luthorcorp that Lex is running now, or Lexcorp? And what happened to the other one? I know when Lionel went to prison, Lex must have gotten control of Luthorcorp, but then what happened to Lexcorp?

Hulk, it's like nails on a blackboard. No wait! It's worse than that. It's like having your teeth engraved with an ice pick. I'd rather pluck my eyes out with a fork.

If they HAD to do a vampire episode, I would have preferred the characters be presented in a more serious light. NO CAMP!!!!!!!!!!! That was the deal breaker with Buffy and why I never watched that show. I expect more from SV, especially with the quality of the episodes so far this season.

Am I looking forward to everything else in the episode? You bet!!!! Chloe at the Planet, Lex and Fine, Clark in a costume!!! :D :up: But this vampire side story is gonna drag the entire ep down for me, I think. :(

Perhaps. But I saw enough to know the characterizations, and I'm shaking in my boots. I LOVED the exchange between Lex and Fine, but that scene with Lana just pushed me WAY over the edge. All I could think was Dawn Stiles, and you guys know how much I LOOOOOAAAAATHEED that character with a PASSION!!!

Hulk, it's like nails on a blackboard. No wait! It's worse than that. It's like having your teeth engraved with an ice pick. I'd rather pluck my eyes out with a fork.

If they HAD to do a vampire episode, I would have preferred the characters be presented in a more serious light. NO CAMP!!!!!!!!!!! That was the deal breaker with Buffy and why I never watched that show. I expect more from SV, especially with the quality of the episodes so far this season.

Considering all that they are cramming in this episode, don't you think the vampire thing is going to be somewhat minuscule? I think the good will outweigh the bad.

Just keep thinking "Clark in a cape". Maybe that will help:)

http://media.filmforce.ign.com/media/775/775567/vids_1.html

It's Spirit, all over again. If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn the blonde was the same character too.

I'm sorry gang, but this really sux. I mean, re-HEEEEEELY SUX! I know not every episode can be as good as Hidden, but if there has to be a "worst" episode of the season, it sure looks like this is gonna be the one for me. I haven't even seen it yet and I think I'd rather watch a repeat of Lucy. :( :( :(

LOL!

You know, I think I'm in the same boat basically... I cringed when I saw that clip.

:eek:

I loved the Fine/Lex clip. However, I'm not sure anything will get me to watch Lucy ever again. Unless I just fast forward through all it to just watch the leap from the bridge to the top of that semi.

[AgentPat]

I cringed when I saw that clip.Indeed. The scene is just cringe worthy. It was.... I dunno.... STUPID! The blonde bimbo shtick may have worked for a high school student (I still hated it, but I can understand how some people saw relevance to the character), it just doesn't work in a college setting. I felt as if the camp pulled me out of the scene by my hair.

99% of the time I buy into these characters. They're played like REAL people with REAL problems, albeit way OUT there problems in Clark's case. But he's still very much the real deal. When I saw that campy sorority of vampires doing their initiation dance, there was nothing real about it anymore. It was just ridiculous fluff for the sake of entertainment. It cheapens the seriousness of the rest of the episode and reduces its impact because these characters are laughable, not scary. It's a Halloween episode - I say go for the horror, not the silliness.

However, I'm not sure anything will get me to watch Lucy ever again. Unless I just fast forward through all it to just watch the leap from the bridge to the top of that semi.Lucy was just a boring episode (aside from the leap). Even the ski chase at the beginning was pointless. That's what made that episode "bad" in comparison to other episodes. Thirst's vampire plot just seems stupid.

But I'll reserve further comments until after I view it tonight. Who knows? Maybe the characterization has to be seen in context with the rest of the episode to "get" it?

Okay, instead of a high res clip of Fine and Lex shooting pool and seriously taking it up a notch in the evil-doing biz, I'm getting the Hidden clip of the morning after.

Anyone else having that problem?

[OobeDoobBenubi]

Nope I am 2 :(


Isn't that Scene on tonight's Episode anyway ?

[avidreader]

Am I the only sucker (:D ) for goofy stuff around here.

I've been looking forward to this episode since I first read the spoilers. Watching that clip gave me a grin from ear to ear. I guess I'm weird like that, but I love the silly playfullness of it. And I cant wait to see how Clark is going to react to Lana initially. When I team that with all the other great stuff happening in this episode, I'm just about jumping out of my pants waiting for 8.00 tonight.

Am I the only sucker (:D ) for goofy stuff around here.Oh, I love goofy stuff. But on SV, I'd rather see the goofy stuff portrayed in a realistic way. For example, there were a lot of scenes in Onyx that I'd consider goofy - Lex's casual murder of the scientist and subsequent dialog with Chloe afterwards was over the top and borderline goofy, but it was done well. And I was on the edge of my seat through most of the episode. Rush was goofy. Clark on RedK can be VERY goofy, but DAMN, the guy's DANGEROUS too. That makes for a fun ride 'cause you buy into their alter egos. They're not laughable. In fact, you bite your nails wondering what's gonna happen next. I couldn't wait for that Lanapire clip to be over. LOL

But guys, I'm in this for the long hall. If they [bites tongue] wanted to make vampires part of every episode, I'd still watch it. Remember, the worst episode of SV is better than most of the dreck on the rest of television today.

I know I'm a Smallville fan, but I think that this is one of the things that make it such a great show, its always jam packed with heaps of things happening. I think this vampire element (for Halloween) is just an aspect of what's going on in the bigger picture. That is, Lex conducting illegal experiments on the University campus with university funds.

there ya go :up:

Can't wait to see Clark's reaction when he find's out Lex is yet again behind this. As Lana is yet again involved in something Lex is behind. I just hope now they actually make the Clark / Lex confrontations a little more Brutal & not just the "I thought you'd change Lex" routine. However I can help but feel they are kind of FORCING things with people Clark love to all of a sudden become part of something Lex is testing. No doubt they are obviously using this to further get Lex evil but come on Im missing when Lex & Clark were friends too :down

I'm a TV junkie.... don't watch as much as I used to because lately there just isn't as much to choose from. I'm missing my comedy fix so now I watch Boston Legal.....Denny Crane....heehee it just cracks me up and Smallville. I try to watch My Name is Earl because it reminds me of home (I'm an Okie) LOL.

Anyway, Smallville is my only committment right now so I'm with you on I'll take it warts and all. I'm all for entertainment with a little eye candy and it's Superman for godsakes. I don't care what anyone says.... he is Superman in the Flannel Universe. You just can't beat that not even with a redneck Earl.http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

Well, if you look at the date above the clips (which I was ignoring) you'll see that they're different.

IGN doesn't appear to have the Fine/Lex clip, which is too bad because I'd would love to see that in higher res...

The image of Lex is from the second scene included in that Hidden clip where Lex is in Lana's apartment waiting for her when she gets back from the farm.

I'll give Lex the benefit of the doubt in so much he probably wasnt thinking that Lana would all of a sudden want to go to Met U and be forced into a Sorority just so she could find somewhere to live.

Although, what he is doing is very wrong of course.

Smallville[New]
8 pm/ET, WB
So how many in-jokes are too many? Take this Smallville (http://www.tvguide.com/redirect?type=&keyword=Smallville) episode which has some fun with new cast member James Marsters. It's about a sorority of vampires led by a blonde named — of course — Buffy (http://www.tvguide.com/redirect?type=&keyword=Buffy+the+Vampire+Slayer). Chloe, who's looking to cut her teeth at the Daily Planet, writes a story about the sorority, but the editor-in-chief (Carrie Fisher) isn't sure it'll fly. "Tall tales about slaying Buffy the vampire don't belong in the pages of a real newspaper," she tells her. — Nathaniel Hayes

I dont know how it goes for you guys, but my TV week every night lists the primetime highlights for the night, and Smallville is always on the list, with the ABC Family episode often making it as well. They dont list every program in the 8.00 p.m. timeslot.

I was getting all geeked to watch this, I turn to the WB, and there's no Smallville but some show called the Parkers. I guess its some stupid college cable thing...that's all. Just wondered if anybody else had this problem.

Pretty good so far.

And hmmm... this episode has potential. I'm digging the Night Stalker ish monolog approach (the OLD show - with Darren McGavin, that is!) from Chloe. Guess it IS all about context. There may be something redeeming about this episode yet LOL I'm intrigued!

Oh, and the Lex/Fine stuff is AWESOME!!! JEEZE!! :up: :D

I dont know about you guys, but im watching smallville, lol.

Chloe has this "sex and the city" thing goin on with her laptop..."Chloe and the City". beheh.

Carrie Fisher IS in this episode after all. :D

[TheStrider]

lol..Up, up, and away.

[Morg]

Bleah, the only good part was seeing Brainiac went against Lex and win :) seeing 'catwoman' in there spoil the rest

[Triligors]

Two probable references to Batman

Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered after they saw a Zorro film

And Lana's costume- a cat= Catwoman.

Don't know if they were trying for that though. But, great episode- which I was surprised about, at first I though "here we go again, but now witches become vampires" but this episode proved to be alot better. Better acted, better Lex and Clark (and now Fine) scenes. As well as some great references, such as why Supes wouldn't have a mask. Overall, fun episode with a great Chloe cameo. The ending shot was especially nice, climbing the Daily Planet and the "superhero" line.

[amazingfantasy15]

Weakest episode of the season so far, loved the Lex/Brainiac stuff, Chloe at the Daily Planet and the narrative style, but the vampire story was kinda lame. Not bad for a freak of the weak episode though with the Lex/Brainiac stuff.

[AgentPat]

Aight, that was a good episode. Not the greatest in terms of show logic, but it was okay. I loved all the homages too. The writers outdid themselves. Project 1138 is SO obscure, but obviously chosen on purpose since Fisher was in this episode. Chloe working in the basement was also pretty obscure, and I probably wouldn't have thought much about it if it wasn't for her dry monologue. Hint: Mulder worked in the basement. The Buffy homages were sledgehammer obvious. Hello? LOL

And on a separate issue, I don't care what folks say, Welling is still a goddamn HOUSE. Look at that last scene with Clark and Lex. Jee-zus!!

[Carter]

Stupid but entertaining

[AgentPat]

Two probable references to Batman
Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered after they saw a Zorro film
And Lana's costume- a cat= Catwoman...YES! I noticed that stuff too. The camera also held on frame for an extended shot on the bat logo. That put a huge grin on my face.

There WERE quite a bit of superhero (and villain) character references in this episode. And I'm still rolling over the part where Welli... err... I mean Clark ;) said "I hate costumes." HAHAHAHA!! Nice! :up: Wonder how many takes THAT took to get w/o people laughing both in front and behind the camera?

Carter, I agree. Stupid, but definitely entertaining.

[mellyM]

Smallville finally learned how to do campy, lol, I loved it, so many good moments, I can honestly say I never doubted:) It was very entertaining, and how much do I love Prof Fine..so much that I wish he didn't have to bad, he's so my kind of villain.

[Serene]

Some silly stuff, some HOT stuff, some Brainiac/Lex stuff.. and some really damn funny stuff. I really got a kick out of this episode. This may be sacrilege, but I have to say..I liked it more than Aqua.

So much to this ep..I need to rewatch it. Chloe's dorm room and the collegiate version of the Wall of Weird was a cute touch. Seeing Carrie Fisher was really nice, although her make-up in that opening scene was scarier than the vampires(!).

"Carlos" LOL... The lines about the cape and the mask were cracking me up! I loved him complaining about how the mask "slides around.."

OH! and the "whoooosh.." when he ran to Chloe's.. ROFL!

You know, I thought it was really nicely done how they weaved Fine and Lex into the story, then brought it around again for that final scene with Lex and Clark. Another infamous SV triangle.. Fine/Clark/Lex...and each of them suspicious of the other two. Awesome set-up. :up:
This ep just seemed very well written. I guess Mr. Deknight knows his way around vampire stories. ;)

Oh.. and Pat, you can have Lois's stripper costume.. I want Lana's cat costume! Meeeow! I thought KK did a really nice job with what had to be an awkward role to play. Maybe they like going outside the norms once in a while though.

Chloe's narration didn't remind me so much of Sex and the City..but of Veronica Mars!

Speaking of Chloe... I'm really starting to love that girl. I was SO excited for her at the end when she got the job at the Daily Planet. And how cool is it for the show to finally let Chloe and Lana be girlfriends and not rivals? I love it.

Just remembered.. when Lana was kissing Clark's neck and sniffing him.. his expressions were KILLING. ME.

[Zorex]

OMG! "Project 1138?" *giggle*

Carrie Fisher IS in this episode after all. :D
:D :p

[AgentPat]

OH! and the "whoooosh.." when he ran to Chloe's.. ROFL! That WAS funny. "Whatdaya got?" "You mean besides a heart attack?" LOL!!!

Oh.. and Pat, you can have Lois's stripper costume.. I want Lana's cat costume!Eh, I think the best part of that costume was her make-up. I like Lois' "costume" better. Shows more skin. :D

Hey, if ya got it, flaunt it, right?

Chloe's narration didn't remind me so much of Sex and the City..but of Veronica Mars! I never watched VM, but the first homage I thought they were going for was Kolchak (from the original series.) Then I thought more about it and Mulder fits in better. Mike had a good point with the SATC parallels though. That WAS very Carrie Bradshaw with the laptop on the bed. Chloe just wasn't talking about dysfunctional boyfriends and sex toys, that's all. ;)

Just remembered.. when Lana was kissing Clark's neck and sniffing him.. his expressions were KILLING. ME.I really liked what she said about him in the end. That gave me a big warm and fuzzy. Warm, loving heart, great strength - Very much Superman.

Oh, one other thing, I like how Chloe is *completely* over Clark now. If she wasn't, she wouldn't have tried to hide Lana from him at the party. I'm enjoying how Clark and Chloe work together as a team, and Clark and Lana are together romantically. There's no competition anymore, and both characters can have a personal report with Clark that's different from the other. That's awesome! :up:

All of yall are laughing about it like it's some huge reference."THX-1138" was one of George Lucas' films. It was the license plate on Harrison Ford's character's car in "American Graffiti," and Lucas even put a line in "Star Wars" (New Hope) referring to it... "Prisoner transfer from Cell Block 1138."

"1138" stood out to my ear like a wicked sore thumb, but I loved it!!! :up: :D

oh ye of little faith...

Was it a great episode? No not at all.

Was it fun and did it intertwine the main plot with the great Lex/Fine subplot that we're going to see all season? Heck yeah

No, no... I've seen all of them, and to me it was still much more Veronica Mars. Veronica narrates whatever "case" she happens to be working on that week..while she types it into her laptop journal too. I guess the reference could really apply to a lot of shows though.

I really liked what she said about him in the end. That gave me a big warm and fuzzy. Warm, loving heart, great strength - Very much Superman.
That was great. I also thought the things she said to him right before he stabbed her in the heart were interesting. Something about how she'll love him forever (foreshadowing?) and how they can't control their destinies.

The heart stab was great.. reminded me of Pulp Fiction. :)

Want another one, Serene? Anybody catch a VERY obvious Captain America in Hidden? (Yeah, I know, wrong thread, but it's a train of consciousness thing.)

One of these days I'll get around to capping it. It's SO freakin' obvious, I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it. The stars all over Clark's room in the beginning of the episode was also quite revealing due to the parallels with Gabriel.

I enjoyed the episode a lot, I really liked the part where Clark rushed in on Chloe, and I really like the Lex/Braniac interaction.

Just remembered.. when Lana was kissing Clark's neck and sniffing him.. his expressions were KILLING. ME.

The slow eyelid flutter...he looked to be pretty in the moment didn't he?http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon12.gif

wow. Once again, A smallville episode that does NOT suck. That's like 5 in a row which has, imo, never happened before.

I was on the edge of my seat during the Braniac/Fine and Lex stuff. I can't wait to see where this all leads.

The vampire stuff was silly but it was fun and for once not so damn cringe-worthy. Plus hot chicks=boners:up:

I too spotted the 1138(i never thought it was really that obscure. I thought most all geeks have at LEAST heard of the film. i've never seen it but i'm well aware of it)joke and the buffy jokes(which were overdone at times).

Good episode and i'd say even a little better than Aqua.

Surprisingly, it wasnt bad. Sure the sorority girls were written in sterotypical fashion and Chloe VO was annoying, but everything else was decent....although I really hate how the moment someone finds out anything, magically they dont remember anything by the conclusion. Best part of the episode was Prof. Fine...and was anyone else shocked that he used the classic Brainiac tendrills? I figured he was gonna turn the guard into a drone instead of murder him....but then again, Lex never mentioned a missing bodyguard.

I've heard of THX-1138, but I don't see what the big in-joke is. Carrie Fisher was in Star Wars, not 1138. So there's really not much of a connection there.

I was in and out tonight, so I mostly caught the LanaVampire thing and it was horrible. I caught a little bit of Lex/Fine/Chloe and it was sweet, but dear god was the meat of the episode bad.

You'd have to watch it in it's entirety. It was actually a pretty good episode. For SciFi and comic geeks it was like the ultimate ISpy game.
I thought it was fun and still kept the story moving forward.

One thing I've been disappointed in with Aqua and now this episode, is they havn't followed up on some of the things in Hidden, like Clark worrying that he's made a terrible mistake and whatnot. Not to mention where's Lionel? Now that he's back to normal what the hell is he doing? Same thing with the Kents, it sorta feels like one of those teen flicks where it's like the parents never exist.

"In the scene where Luke and Han are taking Chewbacca to the prison cells, Luke says that he is a prisoner transfer from cell block One One Three Eight (1138)"

Definate Star Wars reference. :cool:

[DarkKnightJRK]

'Twas preety good. The vampire chicks were so cheesy it was hilarious. Not too sure what the reference was with Chloe monologuing with the computer, though.

Next week looks like...well...with Lois doing...yep, I'll...I'll probably have a tent in my jeans. :up:

[amazingfantasy15]

There is one thing that really pissed me off about the episode, the kiss between Lana and Buffy was off screen dammit, c'mon if you're gonna have a lesbo kiss keep it on screen!

[LostSon88]

I doubt that was Kristin though, hence the shadow.

[triplet]

Stupid but entertaining

(I'm sorry, I have to say something... )

Like your avatar?

;) :D :up:

Too funny... I'm not into girls (well, being a straight one, that's probably no surprise) but I find myself watching your avatar...

It's fascinating in some weird way I can't articulate...

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

[The Incredible Hulk]

well she did kiss the "Scabby Abby" girl in "Facade"

[Farva]

Pretty much got what I expected from this episode...

1. The vampire storyline would be hard to swallow
2. The vampire storyline would be boring (i.e. suck, no pun intended)
3. Carrie Fisher put some life into this episode
4. Marsters really saved this episode. (Fine-Luthor-Kent dialogues actually)

The only unexpected thing was the Chloe VO, which I didnt care for until the ending with her superhero reference and the "up up and away" that was pretty cool along with the daily planet shot.
