Clark Bar
I don't have much time to write any long post, so I'll just say my peace about the Smallville season opener. Keep in mind I only really watch the season openers and closers of this show as those are the only episodes where anything happens.
The thing I liked here was the Lois character and her interactions with Clark. Erica Durance (who I've only known before as "the chick who got topless at the beach in House of the Dead") played a great Lois. She was head-strong and confident, but that only seemed to be the tip of the personality iceberg. A good addition to the cast, at least I think so.
Seeing Clark fly was cool, as was the scene where he gets hit with some Black Kryptonite. The whole idea of Clark’s heritage really fighting against his current environment is great for story ideas, although it seems it will probably be a while until we see that brought up again. Chances are the “is Chloe still alive” and other ground-level plots will be the main focus of the show. Again, there’s a reason why I only watch this show’s season openers and closers.
Lex and his dad’s scene together was well done, I like the conflict between those two which is now only greater after Lex’s dad tried to, well, kill him. Margot Kidder’s small role was neat, the idea of another world’s Clark and Lois being former lovers. The Lana stuff might be interesting, although that boyfriend of hers seems like a dunce. If anything at least she has a cool tattoo to show all her friends back home. And I’ll be honest; during the whole show I was wondering how was hotter, Erica or Kristin Kreuk. I don’t have a definitive answer yet, obviously this is a serious question that needs plenty of mulling over.
Also as you can see atop, the subtitle of this blog has changed. I came up with the idea on my own and then Mike told me to go with it, and there’s no way I’m going to argue with that man. The statement is my basic feeling about this whole stupid industry. No, I love it, I do. Well, sorta…
