Snap Judgment: Smallville

Apr 20

Why is Lionel Luthor trapped in Saw III? Only with Doctor Doom? This show has always had a slight element of dorkiness and generally, that dorkiness is endearing. Now I feel it has gone in the direction of FULL-ON DORKINESS. Honestly. Are we really to believe that sexy Lex is in lurve with a glassy-eyed, hushy-tone talking blank slate like Lana? And that awesomely devious Lionel is being forced to play with plastic letters by some jerkwad with a voice modulator?

I guess they had to go in this direction at some point, but I miss the simpler times, with all the extreme gayness between Lex and Clark. Where have all those smoldering, longing looks gone? Sigh.

Oh, wait…longing looks are HAPPENING. “It’s a shame isn’t it…it takes a crisis like this to get us in the same room together.” Uh huh.
