Aqua - Discussion Thread(Spoilers)

[TENT]

They've called him that and other things plenty times before.

Wow egg on my face so sorry for that. I really thought it was a break through....

 

[TENT]

They've never called him Superboy but he's had many other nicknames like speedy.

Oh now I take it back then Superboy is a breakthrough.

 

[Morg]

Wants a Lois Lane bikini poster

Was surprised and pleased with this episode, liked that promo at the end about 'Go Forward' been promoting it at work and in my sig

 

[Dr.Dark]

The guy who played Arthur looked....much hotter in motion than he did in the pics. wowza.

Not a fantastic episode, but this IS coming hot off the heels of 3 great opening episodes of what has so far been a very very promising season. I look forward to next week's episode. It'll have more to offer than just sorority vamps.

Spoiler

Chloe at the Daily Planet, Fine + the spaceship

.

Yes,can't wait to see that.And aren't you a boy?Why are you complementing on a boys looks,and it's me Zeus or KalElEva,if you remember.

 

[The Green Goblin]

No,she was MEGA SEXY IN THE BIKIN!*starts drooling*

DAAAAA-YYY-UUUM!

She makes Lana and Chloe just disappear.

Good episode.

 

[Dr.Dark]

Oh now I take it back then Superboy is a breakthrough.

HA HA! At this point I'm kind of confused,I'll have to look through the old episodes.

 

[Anguissette1979]

I have to admit that even though I love vampires (I'm going to be one *again* for halloween) the next episode looks a bit lame.

Very "last season" (since I haven't seen the first 3 and don't know where to DL).

I also noted that SV gave a wink to that HBO (?) show when Aquaman said:

"I don't belong to an Entourage." That made me chuckle.

 

[tonytr1687]

I know ppl really wana see Lex evil right away, and I've beat this issue into the ground, but again, I think his good side has disappeared way too quickly since last season. In a matter of 6-7 episodes he's gone from half good/half evil to basically all evil, and when this is happening a little over four seasons into the show, the transformation seems rushed to me compared to how they've developed him up until now. Rosenbaum is awesome as usual, but when all of you say he's slowly but surely turning evil, I'm not seeing the slow part.

Other than that I thought it was a decent episode, although I wasn't a big fan of the actor playing AC. He seemed just like every other wooden pretty boy actor. He had his moments, but I didn't feel the chemistry at all between him and Lois and even him and Clark, at least not like the chemistry Bart had with Clark. Maybe it's because their commaradarie didn't come into play till the second half, and therefore felt rushed, I dunno. It probably sounds like I hated the episode but despite my qualms I enjoyed it quite a bit. I didn't even realize Junior Lifehuard Association spelled out JLA until you guys mentioned it. This episode really made me wana see Bruce Wayne show up, but I know that'll never happen.

 

[KikiDee]

I don't know what they've done to the writing team (writer's steroids?), but they are definitely hitting it out of the ballpark this season.


The setup between Lois and A.C. was a little slow. That's okay though because it had a purpose. It let you actually get a chance to know those two characters a little better. Lois obviously is abrasive to anyone of the opposite sex and A.C. became more than just a passing meteor freak (yes, I know he's not one). It was a perfect setup for the ending which for me was full of warm Lois and Clark fuzzies.

Loved, loved, loved the JLA shoutout....funnier even still than the league reference from Bart. My hubby was half immersed in a Soduku puzzle and even his head shot up at that line.

Can't give enough kudos to Lex aka Michael. I'm beginning a true love hate relationship with this character. I love how they are showing the beginnings of his frustration with these super people that keep thwarting his evil plans. I also love how Clark is finally getting it that not everyone has good intentions. Poor Clark and next week his girlfriend becomes a fang wielding dominatrix. In any other universe it would be a fantasy come true for him.

I am just amazed at how well this season is going so far. The quality has been truly astounding so far and I have no major complaints except for my local wb affiliate that for some reason didn't think we needed video feed for about 30% of episode. Still had the sound so I just made up pictures in my head.

Hope you all enjoyed as well.

I don't think it was a nod, seeing as how entourage is a word meaning a group of friends.

 

[AgentPat]

Wow, this ep has me thinking about how great it would be if, next season, there was a 2-parter with Supes, Flash, and Aqua Man getting together to stop some big, evil Luthor plot. Just to see a hint of Clark working on a super hero team for the first time.

Gosh, why wait till next season?

This was a pretty good episode. There was a LOT to appreciate in the dialog. Lots of inside references ("entourage") and a few blatant ones ("super boy.") LMAO!!!

The eye candy in this episode was breathtaking. Durance is ridiculously sexy, Ritchson is exquisitely ripped, and Welling is still a freakin' HOUSE with legs. LOL That set pic of him and Kreuk is so misleading.

Was good to see the writers start to develop Lois' future character a bit. Her interest in AC wasn't so much based in the physical as much it was his desire to "save the world." Well, there ya go.

I was hoping Clark would have told Chloe the other super-powered non-Smallvillian was Bart. Would have loved to see her reaction to that, since Bart did show interest in her in Run.

Did Lex get a little emotional when Clark said he defended him? Rosie pulled off that non-verbal with aplomb!

The use of "bro" got a little irritating after a while. It reminded me of the FOTW in Kinetic.

Prof Fine is gonna be aye-freakin'-mazing. I can see it already. Bring on the head games; I'm there!!!

Next weeks episode... oh dear.

Yes it was. You gotta think outside of the box. The writers definitely knew what they were doing.

 

[Superman]

Not bad at all. I liked it and would like to see Arthur again but I do have one question. Since when can Aquaman do that little trick with water? You know, The whole spinning his hand and pushing the water at Clark like that. That's news to me.

 

[avidreader]

Was it really really good, I'v still got just over an hour to go. I dont really want to read too deeply into your posts.

 

[The Question]

Like I said earlyer, I think he just moved his hands around really fast to concentrait the water, and then pushed it at Clark with super strength.

 

[jaydawg]

I cant believe anyone actually liked this episode. I couldnt wait for it, but the second I heard "AC" talk, it was over. They should hire actual actors, not American Idol rejects. I cant ever picture Aquaman saying "bro." The characterization of Aquaman sucked and while I love nods to the comic continuity, the comments in this episode were the point where your eyes are rolling. Too bad, cause all the episodes in season 5 so far have totally kicked ass. I'd consider this episode worthy of season 4, not 5. If this is how they are gonna do superhero guest spots, just dont do them at all. They should look at Run for how to do a superhero team-up ep and look at this one as how to judge if it sucks.

I could see a teenage Aurthur talking like that. Remember, he's about 18.

Hey Dark, do the math hon.
(We need a good Seinfeld quote here LOL)

I don't get it. What did you expect him to be like? He lives in and around water. Being a navy spouse I've lived near a lot of beaches and the majority of the local surf mongers do speak that way and actually he was a lot more articulate.

I'm biased. I loved it and they picked him because he actually looks alot like the Aquaman in the comics.

 

[tonytr1687]

Yeah I didn't like the bro thing about AC either. I hope they aren't seriously considering this guy to play Aquaman on the big screen because, unless he steps it up a notch, he won't even compare to the guys we have playing superheroes right now. I mean c'mon guys he may look like Aquaman but next to the seriously-improved Tom Welling and everyone else on the show he's not that good of an actor. Then again Tom and the others do have more experience, but still...

I noticed a lack of Lana and Chloe in this ep. Oh yeah and where's Lionel? Anyway does anyone agree with me on Lex's recent rushed transformation?

 

[KikiDee]

editing due to sheer lack of knowledge of what the hell was going on. ffffffpppppt.

Edit..
will repost after remedial typing lessons..

 

[amazingfantasy15]

4 for 4 this season, another great episode! So much to like Aquaman rocked, JLA reference, Superboy, evil Lex working with the military, reference to Bart (too bad Chloe didn't realize the reference was to Bart), Lois and Clark moment at the end rocked, Marsters as fine as awesome and finally anyone notice Clark wearing a bandage where he got shot, nice continuity nod there. One thing though, what's with Supes future friends hitting on all Clark's friends, I'm almost worried about seeing Bruce cause he'd probably be looking to hook up with Lana.

 

[Oakley]

God, Aquaman was totally hot!
