I wasn't going to post anything until tomorrow after I got some sleep but I made the mistake of coming here just to see if anyone else had posted and couldn't get the grin off my face all over again after reading Anna's opening post. Yes, the same grin that was there during this entire episode of Smallville.
Listen up, Smallville PTB: I want Lois in the opening credits and I want her there NOW!! Screw this "recurring character" crap -- make this girl a regular YESTERDAY!
I love this Lois. Love, love, love, LOVE her!!! I can hardly describe how much.
She rocks. She more than rocks. She
boulders!
The shower scene did me in ... the yelp that Clark gave, the grin on Lois's face, the "you're wearing my shirt!", the "I didn't mind the last time I saw Clark Junior" (I'm still ROTFL over that one) and oh ... OH ... the way Clark is trying to hide her behind the door when his mom came by and Lois just pops out from behind him, grinning like the cat that ate the canary. (Or maybe the cat that has a really good rear-view of the canary.
)
But that all pales in comparison to the two of them standing in the living room with Clark's parents (Lois still in his shirt, LOL!), trying to explain why they were taking a shower together ("two showers! We each took a shower!") in the middle of the day. <eg> I could have fallen off the couch, I was laughing so hard.
But there was so much more to love! Her digging up Chloe's grave (I rolled my eyes over her actually succeeding but I gave them credit for characterization), the martial arts moves (shades of our Lois!!), the working with Clark to kill the bad guy (major shades of what's to come for them!).
She calls him "Smallville"! LOL, I love it. That's from the comics, right? I think Lois also calls Clark that on The Animated Series, too. They are really drawing from all the incarnations, which is great.
And, of course, Lana pegging their attraction right from the start. I almost liked her just then ... the grin on her face when Clark started sputtering about how awful Lois is ("She's ... bossy!") had me laughing and her observation that "all the good ones start that way" (when Clark protested he and Lois couldn't stand each other) had me cheering.
OK, what else do I have to rave about?
Oh, yes, my precious Lex ... sniff, sniff, he looked so sad when Clark was being so mean to him (LOL, now tell me, in what other incarnation of Superman could you ever type that line with a straight face?). He really wants to redeem himself with Clark, but now Clark is convinced that Lex is his enemy. Wouldn't it be ironic if it was *Clark* who made Lex finally turn bad by his rejection of their friendship? That kind of makes my head spin ...
And finally, Lionel ... can I see a show of hands? I can't possibly be the only one who yelled, when Lionel got shanked, "Stab him again!" My husband really got a laugh out of that one, even as he told me how awful I was for saying it. <g>
All right, this post is longer than the episode, so I'll head to bed now. With happy Lois and Clark thoughts.
