“Good.”

[comebackali]

i thought people were - not lying, but certainly exaggerating how bad the writing for lana and lex was in s6, the way fandoms always do when the writing takes a turn away from what they want and makes the characters do things they deem "ooc." but now that i've slogged through, whatever tf that was and am firmly on the other side in s7, and they're writing these characters and this relationship with just a titch more nuance, i can look back on that and say, wtf kind of weird, preachy, torture porn was that?? and so boring too, like they're not even the fun kind of toxic like they are in s7. it was just, so bland. just awful.

Smallville S6

We were already aware that this show repeats ideas but does so in different ways. The LexLang train is no longer steamed with Zod's takeover and all but we're getting a bit more of that Clois stuff...wait, you mean to tell me that Lana just leaned into it after Zod? Uh...OK, maybe the ship still sails. They kind of actively try to make you see why it was a bad idea in the first place and what a toxic relationship it enables but whatever, explore it properly, I suppose, just doesn't really give you as much joy, just suspicion. She even adopts some of Lex's personality traits if you know what I mean.

But you mean to tell me that you had all this potential with Zod fusing with Luthor and you just...resolved it in the first episode? I thought we were more aligned with continuity and storyline? At least make it a three part special or SOMETHING. Smh.

Anyways, aside from Clois, it's hilarious how Lois falls in love with every superhero she meets just unintentionally and then I suppose it's the same for Lana and the villains. But to expand on what I was saying about Lana changing- She's kind of entitled. I mean Lex catches her driving his car and she says "I didn't know I had to ask." Like if I had a gf that told me that, she'd be gone. Then she spends a day picking charities for Lex to donate to- UNWARRANTED. Like, sure, he should donate, he has more money than he could ask for but you're really just sitting around trying to figure out ways to spend your bf's money? I'd rather him give up the fortune, at least that way maybe things can even out and everyone gets a slice?

I don't know how I feel about this ship anymore because I feel like it peaked with the Christmas episode and would've been bittersweet for him to realize that it wasn't meant to be. He could fall in love but it would be at the expense of her life. But I also see the other side of the argument where he would challenge that vision to cheat death so...

But theres a lot this season offers, some really good and unique episodes, one that's like a black and white noir (not like the flashback one with Jor-El) there's even an episode that mimics the "Batman is hallucinating and the villains are his psychs" theory. Gotta love it.

Then I find it utterly hilarious that someone just leaves a trail of Oreos everywhere they go. If someone didn't know who he was, he'd really have no story relevance either, which makes it even funnier, just the guy that leaves partly eaten Oreos lying around.

Also the suits suck. Okay, bye.

three eps into smallville s3 and honestly? bring back the kal-el hair

[thesoundofchains]

Started Smallville Season 8 and you can tell how badly the show runners want Clark and Lois together. Like, we're getting dramatic love declarations and it's only episode 5.

Don't get me wrong, they've clearly wanted to do Clois since S4 (apparently DC stopped them from doing so) but now that Lana's gone they're really kicking things into overdrive.

inside you there are two wolves. one thinks lexana are kindred spirits who found solace and understanding in each other, and the other thinks lexana are a toxic trainwreck full of resentment and regret.

Lord, they done shot my boy AGAIN.

And they can't even give him a pillow, godamn.

Wait, I think this one needs notes, Clark is gonna go into Lex's miiiiiind:

First of all, Clark already lives rent-free in Lex's head so yanno...

Where's the best pie you've ever had, honey? Is it Martha Kent's?

Oh SHIT that actually startled me.

White suit, this can't be good.

Oh a baaaaby. Hmm Alexander though, that's sus. Is he the bad side hiding out as a baby?

"Trust me, Clark. You're my best friend." WHY THO 😭😭😭

Why does Clark have to look at Baby Lex so SOFT?

LIONEL YOU PIECE OF SHIT DON'T TALK TO HIM

Oh my god he's literally got him by the scruff of the neck this is awful

How the EFF are they gonna let Clark witness this FIRST HAND and then still give up on Lex??? I am AGHAST

Clark I swear to God, if you watch that man abuse his wife and child and don't snap his neck as the first fucking thing you do when you wake up

I'm sorry, the Stride gum product placement is sending me

Lol Lois wtf did you think was gonna happen? I'm surprised he didn't snap the phone in half

BWAHA Lex calling him a voyeur is funny. Careful honey, glass houses.

OHHHHHH MY GOD THROWING HIM INTO A LEXANA LOVE SCENE JAYSUS

Christ his little "look at that" head jerk was SO HOT 🥵

Omg holding his head. I am having an aneurysm.

Oh you better believe I'm rewinding that

Fuck that was hot 🚬

Clark chasing after Lex and Alexander instead of going out the door 🥺

"Promise me that you will never stop fighting" agghhhgkfkgkghh 😭

I'm not gonna quote the whole scene but just know that I am sobbing in a puddle

Uh I'm pretty sure being thrown through that thing would have killed that dude

Lionel you ambulatory trashcan, how the hell are you making yourself out to be the hero here??

Oh gosh

Oh daaaang, that's cold. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE LIONEL!

Aww Clark and Chloe 🥺 I love their relationship so much

Uh ohhhh. Was he telling the truth about Lana hanging up?

God, the lashes on Rosenbaum. Welling too, I noticed them in Persona. Men always get the good lashes.

"I grew up" that ain't the whole truth honey and you know it

[lanechester]

Season 6 girlboss Lana you will always be famous

[maraleestuff]

Clark realizing that Lionel was the poison (not the Luthor blood) in season 10 is both the equivalent of season 1-3 Clark and infuriating because he figures that out now instead of several seasons earlier when he could’ve trusted Lex

[90s-kid-sad-adult]

you're still the same Clark Kent to me

[luthwhore]

my main takeaway from smallville s5 is that lex really needs to invest in a good bullet-proof vest
