news at 11, Smavill actively hates its viewers!



Kryptogum that is also a product placement? Rock bottom.

Since when were Jimmy and Kara actually DATING? I was I asleep during that exchange? I thought they just spent too much time together and made Chloe jealous.

Oh shit, dude, Pete is Plastic Man?

So, Cub Reporter/photographer Jimmy Olsen is now a phonecam journo? Oh, Smallville, you know how to make even the simplest things disgusting!

LANA AND LIONEL ARE NOW CLARK'S VOICES OF REASON/SIDEKICKS? WHAT THE FUCK???

Ok, I clearly should have paid more attention to the last episode, but it was excruciating.

Caves shoutie! Don't let Smallville ever make you think it won't ride the worst idea it ever had until it's cinders and ash.

Tommy playing bball never gets any less awkward.

Cream corn factory shoutie, too! Holy moly.

"You've been gone three years, Pete Ross, my ex-best friend who just disappeared into the ether one day! Let me exposit about how I called so. many. times. yet never mentioned this to anyone in my life!" This show is written by robots. Robots who hate humanity. This show is written by T3s.

And in the long tradition of ruining any characterization they have ever managed to accidentally eek out, Pete is now the bad guy while Lionel is a good guy!

You know, if they hadn't pushed the Chloe/Jimmy storyline, I think that Ashmore would have converted me to Jimmy Olsen after all these years.

Lex is hacking Chloe! Finally, finally Lex delivers the subtle evil.

Hahahaha his purple rug!

"You're excused!" SWEET! They are so gonna get it on. Lex needs a fifth wife after all.

Chloe, Lex is hardly the worst network admin I know of, can it. Your business wear continues to be kickin', though.

How does Lex know that Pete was into Chloe? What the fuck?

Blackmail those bitches, Lex!

WHO IS this shitty band? Dear god. I know my taste in music is sometimes questionable, but fuck me blind. How did they even think this style of music suited the episode? Um, nice try, SV, I'm not convinced that this band would cause such an uproar from the audience--the lead singer reaching into the crowd was way over the top.

(I need a hoody with an octapus screenprinted on it.)

So this is where Pete goes into politics?

Oh, Chloe, your little kicky scarf and headband! My god, girl, true love.

Ok, I love the Ashmore, I can't help it. I want to drown myself. Where's my bucket again? Double bucketing for finding that Apologize songs catchy and sort of ear wormy. Damn you, Timbaland!

Kara's face is wrong. Oh, shock, Kara is moving in w/ Lex! Her fucking self-tanner and eyeliner! *screams*

Dumbest show ever made.

Agreed. (http://mylittlepwny.livejournal.com/103771.html)

I've almost given up writing letters to Smallville full of mean suggestions regarding how they can maybe write well one day and give Clark a new wardrobe SANS GROSS RED JACKET (which they have actually gotten in BULK and SPRAY PAINTED, CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT?) because of how sick I was of ending it with, "STILL NO LOVE, Melissa".
I might keep at it, though. Because the more people the better, really, and probably not many are watching to complain anyway.

Ok, what's up with this spray painting thing?

[identity profile] mylittlepwny.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yah. Somewhere in one of my season DVDs after he started wearing The Jacket, there was an interview with wardrobe, and the woman directed us toward Clark's Corner, pulled out a jacket, and said that they have tons, all spray painted red.
And possibly blue, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Being stretchy is one of the MANY temporary powers that Jimmy Olsen possessed in his comic. He called himself "Elastic Lad" after taking a potion.

Yes, I know, but I think comics canon is...um on an elseworld from this show?

Well then, I still exclude Pete from Plastic Man because Plas is funny and Pete has no discernible sense of humor.

[identity profile] deeablo.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
So I forced Julia to watch it, and she called me afterward to tell me how much she hated me. Then I told her that tonight she will dream about Ross and Wentz for some PETE-ON-PETE action!

Kara and Jimmy were kind of dating, but then Jor-El stole her memory and transported her the Detroit where Lex found her but was shot and left for dead until Clark entered Lex's mind using some stupid "technology" and there was woobie Alexander who said Clark was his best friend Evil Brain Lex forced Clark to watch a terrible love scene between Lex and Lana and Chloe had to kill herself to save Lex because Clark would have died inside of Lex's brain.

I'm not making any of this up.

[identity profile] ethrosdemon.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
I caught ALL of that but the part where Jimmy and Kara were dating officially. I thought they were just flirting. Whatevs.

She cursed your name to me already. She is making a paper mache model of you that she's going to burn.

Who is a worse actor, Sam or p3t3?

[identity profile] throughadoor.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
just remember, when you force her to watch something that terrible, you force ME, too. won't someone think of the children?

(i spent the whole time telling her about how i've always thought that guy who plays lex looks like the aborted fetus of a union between a human being and a mr. potato head doll. i don't think she liked that very much.)

[identity profile] deeablo.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
J told me that you guys fastforwarded through all non-Pete parts. *I* watched the whole thing. Such a sucker.

And I don't mind punishing virtual strangers with SV. So. Hi there!

[identity profile] deeablo.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I never watched the One Tree Hill eps with that Pete - god, did I just admit to occasionally watching OTH? and it's sad enough that I know PW was on that show in the first place - so I can't comment on his "skillz." But SJIII wasn't nearly as bad as I remember. Maybe it's because he's been gone so long?

ALSO: They said Pete had been away from Smallville for three years. He left before the S3 finale. We are now hip deep in S7. I may have attended a state school, but even I can subtract 3 from 7 to get 4. Way to do math, Al and Miles!

Ahahahahahahaaaa, oh my god, I'm so glad I gave up on this show a long time ago. Why you do me like that, Smallville? :(

[identity profile] dove95.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
I love this show so much I forgot there was a new one last night. Oops.

[identity profile] turnonmyheels.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
it took the bad crack to a whole new level, but I agree with your Ashmore appreciation, he was quite fine as was Chloe's wardrobe.

I wanna know WHO THE HELL thought that was a hot, hot marketing opportunity? "I've got it, we'll place boxes of product everywhere and the plot hinges on it being TAINTED, YEAH! Sales'll be through the roof, guaran-damn-teed."

[identity profile] thepouncer.livejournal.com 2008-03-14 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I heard Pete was going to return to Smallville and giggled at the product placement opportunities. Woo! Remy Zero! will never not make me laugh.

Pete's Plastic Man? Wait, Pete left the show? (OK, I haven't watched smallville for about six years, but Pete's really Plastic Man? How does that even WORK? I don't understand :( :( :( I guess they're not even pretending to be related to comics canon anymore.)
