[ he's bringin sexy back ]

[winterlive]

i have just one question about 7x01 of smallville: how is it that absolutely every single time they let tom welling play a little bit bad, even just a little bit, his hotness factor increases exponentially? how? how is that the case? *mauls bear*

on a related note, oh yes, lex. wasn't it always your secret desire to have a clark on your side? yes. yes it was. every other plot point: laaaaaaame. but the gay, it draws us BACK, precious. it draws us baaaaack!

HOT. ASS. when he smiles and his voice is all. nngh.

[jamesinboots.livejournal.com]

Chocolate bear, there was plot? :P I've learned to tune out the plot (mostly) and admire the PRETTY and the GAY.

Bad!Clark is, um. MEEP! And Lex is SO GAY. If I were gay and male, I'd totally jump him. Or make Clark take off the blue and red shit, get off his ass, and put it to good use do it himself. Yes. Sounds like a plan.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

so very, very gay. so tremendously gay. the whole show is the gayest gay on television. those two are so in love it's not even funny.

i hear you, my vanilla chilla. <3

[jamesinboots.livejournal.com]

Word, word, and a LITTLE MORE WORD. Smallville doesn't do subtext. They do GAY ANVILS. Or text. Or whatever.

wasn't it always your secret desire to have a clark on your side?
And on your back and your front and many other positions?

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

exxxxxactly.

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Rats. Missed it, because my daughter's staying up later now and I forgot it was on! (Sorry. Season 4 kind of dampened the love).

So instead of hotass Tom on the screen, there were buffoons and goofy kids flunking questions about sentence diagramming. Loudly. Whoo~~~

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

oh, smallville. i wish i knew how to quit you. *clutch*

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Hahahahaha! I know exactly what you mean. I'm just a teensy bit further over the line on that show, but some of them I've gone down to the death with, hating those final seasons but knowing they could be better! It's the knowing that gets you.

Plus, sexy boys. Being sexy with each other. Oh, it's deadly!

[lavenderfrost.livejournal.com]

Go figure that I'd say to myself "Eh, it's only SV. Not like it's gonna be amazing..." JUST AS IT APPARENTLY STARTS TO GET EVEN GAYER.

I don't mind spoilers and just have one question - did Chloe die after all? If she did, even the gay can't make me keep watching. O_O

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

no, she just has meteor superpowers. she woke up in the morgue. :)

lana and lois: also still alive. although lana is in hiding in china, so maybe we won't be seeing a lot of her? MAYBE? *HOPES!*

[lavenderfrost.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. For Chloe, anyway. I was looking forward to Lana being dead. ^^;;

I'll probably download 07x01 to catch up after my Heroes 02x01 torrent finishes. I didn't feel like tuning in tonight because my SV-lurve has dwindled so much, but if the gay is back, then I'll give it a shot. Sometime. Ish. Sometime-ish. >_>

OH MAN, REMEMBER THAT TIME LEX GAZED OFF INTO THE MIDDLE DISTANCE AND, DESPITE THE LOOMING SPECTRE OF IMMINENT ARREST, RHAPSODIZED OVER CLARK'S SABLE HAIR AND SEAGLASS EYES AND ROSEBUD LIPS THAT SPELLED THE PATH TO REDEMPTION, LIKE AN ANGEL'S? AN ANGEL'S?????

OH MAN!

...

anyway, that poor dude has got such a space boner for aliens. <3

incidentally, this was the first episode of sv ever that my father, a fairly conventional irish ex-catholic type, ever watched. and all throughout, whenever clark opened his mouth to say anything at all, my dad would holler in an intensely new england accent "I'M BISEXUAL," or "BECAUSE I'M BISEXUAL," or "WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU IS... I'M BISEXUAL" or "I'M BISEXUAL FOR THAT BALD GUY. oh wait is that supposed to be lex luthor? are they in metropolis right now? BISEXUAL." but bostonier than that.

and to the best of my knowledge, he did not even know sv existed before last night, so this was all quite unprompted. oh, blatant actual plot that is happening just beneath the flimsy surface of the "actual plot"!

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, MING, RIGHT?! every time i think i'm out... they pull me back IN!

i mean, seriously. lex. how many times has clark lied to you or betrayed you or hit you in the face or threw you across the room, and then this dude shows up and he's like, i'ma kill that kent bitch, and you're all, y'know, you're hot and all, but I WOULD NEVER HELP YOU KILL MY BOYFRIEND HOMG WHO DO YOU THINK I AM.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_ming/]

though really, lex is hardly blameless in the great clex schism. i seem to recall him basically expecting a 14 year old to have any clue what an emotion was back in '01. it went something like;

(while sitting in the beanery)

L: clark, you are a fine and decent young man with many outstanding qualities to recommend you, and i would like to ask for your hand in marriage.

C: okay. hey, do you think there're any burgers around here?

L: but i must warn you, mine is a deep and unforgiving passion, rapacious and senseless as death's own yawning maw, and should you ever forsake, confuse, refuse, or contradict me, i shall take it as an obvious sign that you never held me or my selfless actions on your behalf in any regard at all.

C: i mean, it's a coffee shop, so probably not, right?

L: and if it should conspire that you do transgress against my wishes in this matter, or in any way fail to act like a man in the full grip of adulthood who has probably experience life, love, loss, and sushi, then there will be hell to pay.

C: really? you'd really pay for them to start selling hamburgers here? wow, i wish i could let you do that for me, but my dad says not to trust you, but if hamburgers somehow appeared in the beanery in a way totally unconnected to you, i'd probably want to cuddle. with you. oh man, lana.

L: so that's settled! also, here is a tuxedo.

i ask you, danny; WTH?!

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA yes. HELL YES. lex is ridiculous, clark is ridiculous. neither of them bear any sense cred whatsoever.

i have frequently sat and watched smallville episodes and just replaced the word "friendship" with "marriage" in my head and it all made so much more sense. the drama! the stuff of legends! epic romance i mean friendship!

it continues to kill me how, despite the fact that apparently they're not talking civilly anymore, clark continues to storm into the luthor mansion and, indeed, into lex's private sanctuary at will. i keep expecting lex to be like, man, who am i hiring for GUARDS, but alas.

GAHHHHHHHHH.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_ming/]

C: *busts doors to castle's office in* LEX there is pneumonia in the world, and you are making meaner pneumonia, AREN'T YOU.

L: sure i am, you lying liar, if it'll make you feel better. (he actually is) why don't you get in, get in, or get out?

C: SO STOP PNEUMONIA, OKAY? oh, but i guess you won't, because you're rich and you have a computer. *glares righteously for 3 minutes* *huffs away*

L: *watches security footage of clark huffing away from 19 angles on his computer in tortured yet vindictive silence*

oh yeah, then some girls do some things too, i guess. and lex's dad. but i don't like any of their wardrobe, hair, or demeanors (except for CHLOE who is DATING ME), so i find it hard to follow what's going on with them.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

tortured yet vindictive silence

BEST. PART.

i just don't even know what to do with them anymore. they won't break down and kiss no matter what we do. we take them to the brink over and over and over but they just never give in. it will take a feat of herculean will, i'm convinced. otherwise they'll just flirt until cape day.

it cannot be possible that, after all this, lex will look at superman and think, alien overlord! instead of if you'd ever trusted me i could have had armani make that for you.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_ming/]

re; that last paragraph, YOU WIN EVERYTHING. yes.

i guess we could just buy specialty action figures from japan and make them smooshface togethah? then film that, and put it on youtube.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

ARMANI WOULDN'T HAVE PUT YOU IN A CRAYOLA BOX, YOU FLYING MENACE. *fistshake*

oh, ming. truly, theirs is a love for the ages.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_ming/]

all lex wants to do to clark is pet him and clean him and dress him and feed him and be responsible for every aspect of his life! he just wants a clarkagotchi, and is that really too much to ask?

it is a multibillionaire asking, remember. kind of a big deal, knows bruce wayne and that queen kid.

give him the alien in an adorable purple egg-shaped key chain. now.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

mmphgm, oliver queen.

sorry. i had a moment there for a second. whoo.

ANYhoo, YES! clarkagotchi! one of a kind! and if we could test PSI on that dermal plating he calls skin in the meantime that'd be awesome!

[lumenara.livejournal.com]

I believe you both win the internet. And clearly, Zeen, you should introduce me to your co-winner. Because she is also hilarious.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

loom, this is ming. you should go to her website where she has pictures of all kinds. she draws, loom, she is a draw-er.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

oh also, it being quite late, i have just now realized that you have included the inestimable mister john glover in this list and i must ask you, surely you don't mean that you can't follow LIONEL, because because because because BECAUSE. because of the wonderful things he does!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_ming/]

you'll notice i typed "lex's dad" and not JOHN GLOVER WHO IS AWESOME. it's lionel i don't like! just like i don't like most characters viggo's ever played, even though he's practically my brother in law vis a vis ceeface and accordingly my love for him must abound.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

okay, that's totally fair. i have endless love for john glover, even as lionel, because. because. there is not a piece of scenery in smallville that doesn't have his teeth prints on it. so over the top! wooo!!

but i might be a whore for john glover, so, y'know, grain of whatever.

[untitleddemo.livejournal.com]

I don't know, man. But it's so true! His voice... RAWR.

Uh, maybe Lex only wants his Clarky-poo when he's all virginity and light? Or else he just loves Baby so so so much that a replica would never do. I dunno! But I'll tell you what woulda been awesome, if they'd traded that Clark/Lois scene for Clex. Oh yeah!

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

zammington, i do concur. wholly.

[way2busymom.livejournal.com]

but the gay, it draws us BACK, precious.

They just can't help it...and my Smallville obsessed daughter commented on that very fact & nearly made her father fall off the couch in shock. *g*

And best line last night was bizzaro Clark saying "Redemption doesn't suit you Lex." Rawr...More like that please!

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

i personally liked "isn't that what you've always wanted". but tomato tomahto! :D

[brandil.livejournal.com]

I don't get it either. Clark doesn't do it for me all that much, but any version of slight red/dark/bizarre Clark makes me cream my panties

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

dammit! we must find this answer, brandi.

[bookishwench.livejournal.com]

Ah, Clark. So sweet and wholesome. Evil!Clark, who is perfectly capable of doing very, very bad things.

I still laugh at an embarrassingly loud volume every time I remember my poor mother saying that she thought Ollie was sort of effeminate, while Clark was just the bastion of masculinity. ::snickers:: ::nestle crunches, even::

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

i mean.

[valancymay.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I can watch Smallville this season; there are so many shows I /actually/ want to see, I hate to waste time on one that drives me insane. Especially with no Green Lantern.

[valancymay.livejournal.com]

Er, Green Arrow. You know who I mean. Some hot green guy.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

DO YOU MEAN ALAN RICKMAN? *paw screen*

[valancymay.livejournal.com]

No, I just like to leave you pictures of hot men when I comment.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

i approve of this practice in full.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

1. green arrow, /nerd
2. man, that is totally fair. there's lots of gay in that show, but if that's not a draw for you, there's nothing else. run! run far!

[tittakv.livejournal.com]

With red-K-Clark I'd say it's about the clothes (and shades), but the phantom wore Clark's normal clothes, and Tom still managed to make it hotter, so... I guess that leaves me with "bad is hotter". Clark is too goody-goody to be interesting without Lex.
