Another take on Smaville S5, E6
It’s an interesting point that Rob brought up. Just how long will Clark be able to waltz into Lex Luthor’s study and be welcomed with open arms? Is Lex going to run the state from his mansion in Smallville? I mean, come on, the guy should have moved out a couple of seasons ago but he’s still going back and forth from Smallville. Why? What’s in Smallville that’s so important to Lex?
Rob is bang on with this week’s analysis of Smallville. Another great episode to get this season into contention for best season ever. Not hard with a show as hit and miss as Smallville.
A nice breather with this episode as we’re subjected to nothing from Lana Lang. I’m glad Lana and Clark are finally together, before getting ripped apart for good before the end of the season, but she’s very, very annoying when she pulls out the kicks and punches. I’m sure she would have had to do it in this episode if they had written her in. They should try more episodes without Lana, just to see how the story’s flow.
The exchange between Lex and Jonathan was a great scene. Lex is getting a backbone and then drops down the “good ol’ boy” line. Priceless. Lex is still always looking into things, but damn if he’s not effective. Rosenbaum is really getting into the role, finally having a lot of fun with it. “How well do you know your friend?”
Oh and the Smallville writers? They need to get Lois Lane in revealing clothing as much as possible. Too hot for tv? Too hot for network tv, at least. The show is definitely “maturing”. Clark’s facial expressions are just too much. Welling is becoming a great actor here.
Both Jonathan and Senator Jenning’s going cruising in the car? Damn man, the Duke ride again. And that Duke’s cruising music? Ha ha. The 70s were awesome and so is Smallville at times.
And Clark taking out the helicopter? Wow! Just wow! See what happens when you write an intelligent episode and don’t go with the freak of the weak, just a plain freak? Great twist not being able to take the foreign diplomat down because of immunity.
The hero motif they’re pushing is also really great, as Clark gets ready to assume the mantel. “Aye eye, sailor.” Maybe they should contiplate having Lana be the one who dies. It crushes Clark and makes him want to be a hero? Never let anyone die again? That would be good television.
Nothing more to talk about that Rob hasn’t already touched on. I’ll try to beat him to the punch next week and cover the show first so he has to comment on my comments!
