David Uzumeri and I are back with an all-new installment of our Smallville recaps, and this time we’re commenting on Clark Kent’s high school reunion, which of course devolves into a time travel misadventure.
As goofy as it was to actually watch this episode, I’ve gotta confess that it was also highly enjoyable. It did, however, seem to be dipping way too far into the realm of fantasy. I mean, sure, an alien who comes to Earth who can fly and shoot lasers out of his eyes is one thing, but asking me to believe that newspapers will still exist in 2017? That’s pushin’ it, Smallville.
I can’t take Erica Durance seriously as Lois Lane. I just can’t. I think you would have to had been with the show since the beginning to know what I mean. Also, if you were watching since 2001, you guys probably would have had a drinking game in progress, wherein you take shots anytime somebody gets referred to by their full name. That shit happened a lot.
I don’t know what’s weirder . . . James Marsters being 48, or Sam Jones III being in a drug bust. I knew Smallville ruined lives! Well, Jensen Ackles starring in Supernatural is the exception.
And yes, Clark as Reunion King does crack me up. Ever see the Prom episode, where the ghost of a Prom Queen candidate possesses various people, culminating with her taking over Clark and bitch-slapping poor Chloe into a wall? And Jonathan and Pete performing an exorcism with Kryptonite? Bad times . . . unless you see Annette O’Toole dancing and acting like a teenager. That was hysterical.
Yeah, that one shot of him with the crown on sold me – that’s just hilarious.
Durance is the best Lois ever. Fact.
I enjoy Smallvillains, but Worst of Netflix is what I always looked forward to Monday mornings. It’s been on a sporadic schedule lately. If it’s an issue with Heavy.com and if it would help, you can tell them the only time I ever look at one of their 50 Best (Variable of the Week) Asses lists is when WoN brought me there first.
One thing I always wondered about that aspect of Heavy.com and similar sites: They know there’s, like, porn on the Internet, right?
Wow. I can honestly say that the decline of the newspaper industry has left me completely unfazed until you just suggested that Clark Kent’s status quo might be threatened.
Don’t tell me he’s going to have to become a blogger. That would be horrible.
Hysan . . . fiction. There’s Teri Hatcher, Margot Kidder, whomever played Lois in the Fifties show, and Dana Denlany from the animated series. No way does Durance rank higher than more than one of them.
I actually like Durance’s Lois better than everyone except for the Animated Series version, and Durance’s is actually more proactive.
In what I’ve seen, anyway.
I’ll accept any Lois _except_ Teri Hatcher. Sorry.
It blows my mind that someone would ask Brainiac 5 for personal advice.
Well, actually, that’s not entirely true . . . it’s just odd that his advice doesn’t involve locking oneself in a lab and building giant killer robots.
I would, however, be totally willing to watch the show go in that direction. You can always have more giant killer robots.
