Aqua - My Smallville Review
*sigh*…. and down, down goes the show. *ugh* The writers deserve a slap in the head with a stinky rotting fish for writing this garbage. What’s wrong with them? I think some writers should be fired. Why can’t all the episodes be good? Why must there be fillers?
The Good:
Brainiac and Clark: Great interaction! Good writing. Fabulous acting!
Lex and Aquaman interaction when Aquaman is tied to the table. “On land, I’m the shark.” I liked that…
Aquaman had a nice body and he called Lois on her crap.
This guy looks like a goof, but wow! Holy Shiitake mushrooms superman! He’s got a nice body. Hey Clark/Tom, take a good look.
The Bad:
Clark/Tom: GO. TO. THE. GYM!!! Please! Oh for the love of abs! Run to the gym!
You’re letting yourself go! Put down the twinky, the burger, the Krispe Kreme donut. Drop and give me 1000 sit-ups.
Oh no! Say it ain’t so! Tell me those are not love handles! For the love of shirtless scenes Tom, GO TO THE GYM! … Let yourself go when the show is over and you’re no longer on TV, but while on TV do something about your flabby belly and your arms. Please. I’m begging you. You can do it!
I want to see more of this:
Now that’s more like it!
Aquaman: The writers made him sound like an idiot. It’s hard to see him as smart or take him seriously when he ends his sentences with Bro. I was waiting for him to say, ‘Dude or Like or Totally.’ Tool? Bro? Come on!
Lois and Aquaman swimming. That’s swimming Lois?!? It looked like she was dog paddling not swimming! That was the worst swimming I’ve ever seen!
Clark and Aquaman confronting Lex. It was poorly written. The acting by Aquaman is laughable. He needs to polish his acting skills.
Clark and Aquaman fighting underwater. You could hardly see what was going on! Once the blows started happening it was good, but less staring and swimming, more fighting!
Aquaman healing and the restoration of his powers. It just looked stupid… poorly acted. It was laughable. When AC put up his arms I thought he was a WWF wrestler that just won a match.
I thought he was going to scream, “AAARRRRRGGGG!!!!” It was funny/silly.
The cheesy line of: ‘When we’re all grown up, let’s be in the JLA, blah, blah’ Similar to the line Flash used… except Flash had the better line. That was a great line that Flash delivered, but it came out sounding stupid when AC said something similar. AC needed a better line.
The goodbye scene between Aquaman and Lois. After pursing her so hotly why all of a sudden the cold shoulder? Just because Lex is after him? If Lex wanted to catch him, I’m sure he could have, since the goodbye spot was where AC got shot by the dart. If he really liked Lois, he could have arranged something; Lois travels all over the world. It was just poorly written and didn’t make sense.
The cheesy scene at the end where Clark tells Lois that she’ll find another guy to save the world… *rolling my eyes* Gag me with a spoon. It just sounded stupid.
Why does Clark keep going to Lex? Hasn’t he figured out by now that Lex just blows him off?
Why does Lex keep letting Clark into the mansion when all Clark does is whine and berate him? I mean Lex mentions he’s getting sick of him barging in, but DO something about it Lex!
The Ugly:
The Lois and Aquaman scenes which don’t add anything to the main story of CLARK AND LEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were trying to put this romance through when it didn’t have anything to do with the main story! Those two had NO CHEMISTRY. Fishboy was trying too hard. The acting was forced. It wasn’t natural. It was STUPID!!!! It seriously angers me that they write this junk in, when really… What was the POINT??!!??
The Editing… It was terrible. Was it done by a blind monkey? They could have shaved minutes off and put more good story line by not linger over ta-ta’s and abs…. not that I’m against the ta-ta or ab showing, but it was just a bit too over the top. Also, throughout the show, it just seemed… choppy. Are they having interns editing their show? What’s going on here?
The Storyline: Aquaman comes to Smallville to find out why the fishes in the sea are dying. He finds out that Lex is making some weapon that will destroy submarines and all fish in the sea. Clark and Aqua destroy the machine and “save the ocean.” …ummm… Lex CAN just rebuild it. He still has the plans and I’m sure he can build another weapon, then ask the government to take a look at the trial run again. Lex is one that isn’t deterred so easily. If he has his mind set on something, he’ll still pursue it… so don’t wave your pom pom’s in the air saying ‘hooray we saved the ocean’ when it’s just a matter of time until Lex builds another weapon.
It just felt like the writers came up with a bunch of story lines that didn’t connect or make sense with one another. Everything seemed jumbled up, chewed up and barfed out. Poor storyline. Poor writing. These writers need to go back to school.
I’m so disappointed. It could have been so much better. I wish it would have worked because I think the idea of an Aquaman storyline had potential… it really did. The writers once again screwed it up. *sigh* … and here I thought the Smallville was going to recover from a horrible Season 4. This episode belongs in Season 4 with the rest of the terrible writing.
2 out of 5. I’m being generous… very, very generous because I love this show so much and really hope that it gets better not worse…although after seeing the previews for next weeks show, I’m already worried.
