Hey, Bob, Supe Had a Real Job.
Okay, here's a super-duper-quickie review of the Smallville fourth season's first three episodes. I hope all of you are watching, 'cause in my "real life", it's only me and grandpa ...
I'm liking the fourth season a lot so far, but it seems like it's starting to teeter on the brink of becoming silly. The Lana/Jason Teague stuff is already teag-ious and pushing the boundaries of the ability to suspend my disbelief. I used to really enjoy Lana and Clark's passive-aggressive back-and-forth ... but it's been four years already! In high school, years are like dog years.
The use of symbols and objects to make us think that there's some kind of 'direction' to events is wearing thin. For the first few seasons, there was the key to the spaceship that pretty much went nowhere and now we've got the crytals scattered around the world and Lana's tattoo, which we can pretty much assume will lead ... to more crytals. And more tattoos.
Other than that, everything else is great, especially the Lex-Lionel confrontations. Their father-son conflict could be silly and petty at times, but it really works now that the gloves are off and it's simply vicious.
And I'm pro-Lo, even though they tried a bit too hard to establish her character in the premiere. Last night's episode would have been a complete throw-away freak-of-the-weeker if it hadn't been for the google-eyes moment between Lois & Clark at the very end. In the second episode, there's also a glorious moment when Clark tells Lana that he can't stand Lois, which stands as the single-worst moment of bad-acting in the entire series. If you could frame and hang bad acting on a wall, that moment would be hanging up in my livingroom right now. I'm lovin' it!
As you know, it was a very sad week because Superman actor, Christopher Reeve, passed away. And I think I heard that Dean Cain got a speeding ticket. Don't quote me on that.
I was going to write about the Enterprise premiere, but forgot to set the VCR machine. In the meantime, here's a pretend review:
Whoa! Enterprise! Space Nazis! Captain Archer in the past! Ensign Mayweather is going to be cool this season! T-Popple is sexy! Ha ha, Trip! Yep, it's going to be a long road, getting from there to here. You know it!
Thank you very much and good-night.
