Thirst - My Smallville Thoughts
Well, I knew this vampire episode was going to be stupid… and the stuff with Lana in it was. I just shook my head and wished the writers would make her die. She’s turning into a terrible character and it seems like the writers are grasping at straws. I think the writers have destroyed her character.
What I liked:
Brainiac and Lex. WOW! LOVED IT! The dialogue was amazing. The acting was top notch. I was thrilled. Just thrilled! Lex has met his match. This is a fantastic story! I really like Brainiac and I enjoy watching his character develop.
Chloe at the Daily Planet. I loved the interaction with Princess Leia(Chief). I really like that Chloe sticks up for herself and fights for what she wants. She has such a strong will. Fabulous! I felt a sense of trouble and doom for Chloe at the end. I think her days may be numbered. I’m beginning to really like Chloe, I think she’s the best female character on the show.
I liked that the stupid vampire story was told through Chloe’s article/narration.
There were 2 action scenes that I liked. Lana falling down the stairs and crashing through Lex’s sky windows were enjoyable to watch. Way to go stunt double!
What I disliked:
The ridiculous vampire story line. Everything about it was stupid. I’m not even going to waste my time on it but just say it was horrible and stupid.
So to grade this episode I’m going to break it down like this:
Vampire storyline: 0 out of 5
Brainiac/Lex/Clark: 5 out of 5
Chloe/Chief Leia: 4.8 out of 5 (Chloe’s acting could have been a smooch better in the showdown with the Chief. It seemed forced.)
Next week: Lois shows off her tata’s once again… ya know if they are going to doing gratuitous shows like these why not have Clark do a strip tease? The storyline next week seems so ridiculous they might as well have Clark and Lois gyrating around a pole together. *sigh* If Lois is going to be the next bimbo on this show flaunting her ‘girls’ I’m annoyed. Sure, show some skin, but not every episode writers! I’m going to start calling Lois Hooters. I wish the writers would develop a better storyline for Lois. It’s a shame really. Give the girl a purpose besides being a thorn in Clark’s side. That’s old and done with, move on.
