lierdumoaThis is how it all went down.
Smallville
Lex found out how his father had conspired with his partner in crime at a young age to kill Lex's grandparents. Yep, that's right. Lionel Luthor killed his grandparents. Lionel, of course, couldn't let this get out, so he started drugging secretly drugging Lex with hallucinogens. At the end of the episode, Lex finally got his proof on Clark when Clark stopped a car driving towards him at full acceleration, and then pushed the wreck out of the way. Lex told Clark "I was right about you all along Clark. You're not even human." Clark, of course, did his dissappearing act, just in time for his father's people, including a psychiatrist, to find Lex raving about what Clark had just done.
The episode ended with Lex in a psychiatric ward. Lionel had ordered that Lex be so drugged up that "by the time he finishes his treatment he won't have any short term memory left." Lionel said that he never wanted to do this to Lex, but we see that self preservation won out over any fatherly affection he had for his son.
The episode ended with "Hurt" by Johnny Cash playing in the background.
Why didn't Clark save Lex from the mental institution? I completely understand, now, why Lex (in the comic books) would make it his mission to destroy Superman. Clark knows Lex was being drugged. He even knows how. And yet, there he sits at Lana's bedside while Lex rots in a sanitarium. Oh, I understand she was greviously injured, but she's safe in a hospital. Why isn't Clark trying to save Lex? It looks like he's happy just saving face because Lex knows Clark's secret.
I really want to see some pain inflicted on Lionel. Like, right now. Also, I had a friend once describe a football game to me in which one team lost horribly. He said, "It was like they buried them alive, pissed on the coffin, burned the coffin, pissed on the ashes, and then danced on the pissed on ashes." This is what I want to happen to Lionel, only literally, not figuratively. Before that, though, I think he should be castrated and forced to eat his own severed genitalia. No one. No one hurts Lex and gets away with it.
I could think of more, even more gruesome tortures, but I don't there's only so much I'm prepared to inflict on my friends list.
JesusFuck!
Final thought -- this episode actually made me cry. I cried. No tv show has ever made me cry before. I haven't felt this fucked up since reading Dark Side of Light (Harry/Draco fic -- most fucked up and depressing thing ever, or so I thought until I watched this week's Smallville).
Oh jeebus. This completely ruined my night.
Angel
Okay, the reason this entry is being posted on Sunday, as opposed to last Thursday, is because I really wasn't in the mood to write about anything non-depressing after watching Smallville. I'm in much better spirits now, though.
This episode was funny as hell. Spike got re-corporealized. Yes! He's flesh again! No more ghosting around unable to do anything more than annoy people! Spike was utterly adorable for the entire episode. Well, except for the times he was just dead sexy. And let's not forget that there were flashbacks-slashy-flashbacks running thoughout the whole show.
Okay, first off, we see Old England. When Drusilla first made Spike (William) a vampire (aka sired him), she hung out with him alone some before introducing him to the rest of the family, namely Angelus (Angel w/out the soul) and Darla (Angel's sire). The opening scene is of this first encounter. Angel starts off looking annoyed that Drusilla sired a boy instead of just sucking him dry and having done with. I meant his blood, people -- get your minds out of the gutter. Anyway, when Angel meets Spike, Drusilla gives him the best intro ever: "Look what I made! It's called Willie."
Angel sizes Spike up then intimidates him by grabbing his fist and holding it to where some sunlight is getting in through a window. Spike's skin starts to smoke. Spike (I should call him William -- he didn't start calling himself Spike till much later) snatches his hand back. Angel puts his own hand in the light and, as it's smoking, utters the slashiest line ever. I transcribed it in my last entry, but I'll repeat it here: "I've been wondering what it'd be like to share the slaughter of innocents with another man. You don't think that makes me some kind of deviant, mmm...do you?" Angel is doing his seductive voice the whole time. He's even breathing heavy. This is the gayist thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
Spike puts his hand back in the light (it's a pissing contest now) and Angel makes this comment about how the two of them are going to be the best of friends. Then, suddenly we're back in the present, where Spike and Angel hate eachother (they're just denying their eternal love and we all know it). Spike recieves a mystery piece of mail. Harmony (the office secretary) opens it for him. There's a flash, and all the phones start fucking up. Spike goes to bug Angel and walks up to Angel's office door -- only to smack right into it. Hey! He's corporeal again!
Of course, he cries out in pain. As he realizes what just happened he says "I can feel!" and promptly reaches out to Angel, who is standing before him, and shoves his hand into Angel's shirt. It becomes clear that the WB is catering to it's female fanbase by infusing dangerous levels of homoeroticism into every Angel episode. I knew there was a reason I loved this network. Anyway, Angel finally tells Spike "Stop touchin' me" (that'll teach him to button his shirts higher when he walks around -- seriously, this is not good fashion sense, and stray childer could suddenly turn corporeal and molest you if you're not careful).
Ah, but where was I? Oh yes, Spike. As soon as he stops touching Angel, he grabs Angel's mug of blood and swallows it down. He has a small orgasm over the taste of it. He even recognizes that it's otter -- how cute is that? One has to wonder, though, how he found out what otter blood tasted like in the first place. Gunn walks up next. Spike gives him a friendly hug in the midst of his glee. Harmony then walkes up to complain that the phones are going wacko. Spike takes one look at her and remembers what else he missed about being corporeal -- sex. He drags her off for a nooner.
In the meanwhile, a man in the copying room starts crying blood and swiftly goes into a murderous rage over the fact that no one has replaced the toner in a nearby printer. He beats the nearest man to a pulp with a fire extinguisher and writes TONER in blood on the wall. This starts happening to others -- including Harmony, right in the middle of Spike fucking her. Spike freaks out, and when she attacks him he knocks her out and goes to inform Angel.
After this same crying blood and going to murderous rages over small matters thing happens to Gunn, Eve appears. Annoying as ever, she gets strangled nearly to unconsciousness by Gunn (I knew there was a reason I loved him). She then informs Angel and Co. that the mysterious senior partners have informed her that Spike's restoration to corporeal-ness has caused an unbalance in the universe. Now there are two vampire champions with souls who have the potential to fulfill the Shanshu prophesy. Ooooooh!
Wesley's away dealing with his daddy issues from last week's episode (see what I had to say about that episode: HERE), so Angel and Co. find someone in his department and go over the Shanshu prophesy. They find some mysterious before undiscovered passage about drinking from a goblet holding eternal torment, and whoever drinks from the goblet is supposed to be the true subject of the prophesy.
Now, of course, it's a pissing contest. Spike takes off first. Angel follows. Of course he calls Spike, since Spike is driving one of his cars (he has many now that he is head of W&H) and all cars are equipped with cell phones. The best part? His first words to Spike as he calls him -- "You took my Viper!" Beautiful. Anyway, the two of them get to the place where the tormenty goblet is supposed to be. They get in a big fight with many cool lines. They argue back and forth about who is the better hero ("I saved the world" "Yeah, well I saved the world more") and about who Buffy loved more and about who's stronger.
We see more Drusilla flashbacks. Spike, of course, has a tendency to worship the women he falls for. Dru is his everything. Really good flashback scene -- Angel goes hunting with Spike and they have a great date. I mean time. They have a great time. And then Angel offers Spike a choice meal (a bride -- apparently they crashed a wedding -- Angel even killed a priest and then said "Frankly father, thine eyes offend me!" -- really great stuff). Spike refuses the meal and says he'd rather go back to Dru. Angel immediately starts badtalking Dru (jealous much?), basically emphasizing the fact that she's nutso (neglecting to mention that he's the reason she's crazy since he drove her crazy by killing her entire family in front of her(.
We see how far his jealousy goes, as the next time Spike goes to see Dru he finds Angel fucking her. Ooooh shit -- Spike is pissed now. Angel's pretty much an asshole. Spike fights Angel for Dru and loses.
We're flashing back and forth between this scene and the present scene -- the fight over the goblet. My favorite part? Spike picks up this giant cross (his hands are smoking the whole time he's holding it) and smacks Angel across the room with it. Angel flies in the air and hits the opposite wall. Spike is so kick ass.
Oh yeah -- outcome? Spike wins. Hands down. Apparently this is the first fight he's ever won fair and square against Angel -- how cool is that? It gives Angel the chance to brood at the end because Spike fought harder than him and now he's afraid that maybe Spike really is the one the prophesy's all about. And the Goblet turns out to be filled with Mountain Dew. It was all a big trick. Hmmm...very suspicious.
End of the ep. Eve goes back to her apartment. We find out that she seems to have known all along that Spike would be getting a package and that she was hoping Spike would kill Angel (I knew that bitch was evil). Also? She's fucking Lindsey (former W&H employee who dissappeared about three seasons ago). Drama! Corporeal Spike!
Man, I love this show.
Jake 2.0
This has to be my favorite episode so far. Even better than "The Good, the Bad, and the Geeky"! Jake and the rest of the people involved in his special ops team get put in front of a sort of kangaroo court (that's a legitimate governmental term, I swear). Each member of the team is asked to tell what happened in their last mission. They are prevented from mentioning the words "Varcon gas" (it's a biological weapon that the US was manufactuing but no one was allowed to acknowledge that the US was manufacturing ). This doesn't help them, as the entire mission was about regaining some conficated Varcon gas.
When retelling the story, it starts off with Jake asking Diane if he can have sex without passing the nanites on to his partner (this is just too cute, and I just read a fic addressing the same issue -- how interesting). Kyle, Jake's partner, walks into the medical lab to ask what Jake is doing (while Jake is jacking off in the bathroom in order to give Diane a semen sample to analyze -- too funny!).
La, la, la -- Jake and Kyle go to...Costa Rica? I think. I'll double check later. Anyway, they go, and then Jake captures a couple of people, only to find out that they're innocent and the "vials" of gas they are holding are decoys. Jake is given the rest of the day off, and while Kyle is finding out that the people they caught aren't the real criminals, Jake is trying desperately to get laid, having been informed by Diane that his semen is safe for human consumption *snicker.* He gets hit on, and has monkey sex. Very cool sex scene, the way they're stumbling around the room trying to tear eachother's clothes off has a kind of almost-rhythm to it and looks very nearly like some awkward tango. Of course, there is tango music in the background. Nicely directed and filmed, I thought.
Jake wakes up later after much monkey sex to find that the chick he took home is on his computer. Oh crap -- she's the real bad guy. And Jake was given a shoot-to-kill order. But he really doesn't want to kill a seemingly nice woman he just spent hours fucking. Drama! Anywa, they fight, she briefly gets the upper hand and runs to her car to drive off. Jake manages to sneak out and cling to the bottom of her car for over 2 hours (gotta love that nanite enhanced strength). Even the judges in the kangaroo court are impressed -- though they dissapprove of Jake and his failure to execute his shoot-to-kill order.
It turns out the chick wants to use the gas to kill a government official in this foreign country who used the same gas to kill a bunch of innocent people -- including her younger sister. The woman intends for it to be a suicide mission. She thanks Jake for giving her the best possible last night of her life. Agh -- too bittersweet. She goes in to negotiate with some of the government official's subordinates with the gas. She is pretending to be a seller and demands to sell the gas to the guy herself. The officials are given orders to kill her. Jake saves her. He breathes in the poison gas, and she's about to give him a trachiotomy when the nanites save him.
She asks him what the fuck he is that he can survive this deadly gas. He tells her he's part of a "special ops team" and he can help her. She used to be CIA, but the American government wouldn't avenge her sister because they were in fact the ones to sell the evil government official guy the gas in the first place. Jake tells her he'll help her, but she still ends up in prison.
The faux trial ends with the judges saying that the Jake 2.0 team is going to be under severe scrutiny. We all know, that if this team is shut down Jake will end up a lab rat, because he was never supposed to get nanites in him in the first place, and he wasn't supposed to be a secret agent either. Since Jake is a "universal remote" thanks to the nanites, he uses his nanite given abilities to take control of the court stenographer's computer. He threatens to send a copy of all she's written (it includes incriminating info about Varcon gas) out to news agencies if the judges don't leave him and his team alone and save chicka from South American prison. I think her name is Angela...I think. I'll double check on that too.
Anyway, it turns out Jake is bluffing, but it's okay because the judges don't call his bluff. Jake is so hot when he gets all full of conviction. The judges back down. The head judge -- a really scary blond lady -- talks about what an asset Jake would be if only they could make him their loyal dog. Creepy bitch. Anyway, the episode ends with Jake greeting Angela, who's been let out of the foreign prison -- *yay!* And they're playing a really good song in the background -- "One Thing" by Finger Eleven.
I just loved all the characters even more than I did already. Kyle was all defending Jake. Kyle's boss, Ms. Hardass, was cool as ever. Diane was her cute doctor self. She was cutely jealous about Jake going off having sex too -- but we know those two are meant for eachother and eventually they'll get together. Eventually. The PTB's will probably draw it out forever and ever. At least they ended the Jake/Sarah thing right quick, cause that was unbearable.
Man, but I must have watched this ep. like 4 times by now. Love this show! It just gets better by the episode!
Oh -- and fun with AIM. Heh, heh, heh. Talking with a friend from highschool who's now going to art school.
Ciara: I am taking life drawing which is the class I get to draw naked people. All nudes all the time!
Me: good looking nudes?
Ciara: most of the time
Ciara: the stories I could tell you!
Me: tell! tell!
Ciara: well there's not too much to tell about the female models, just one who had surprisingly large nipples. Probably about the size of a thumbnail which I found rather large. Anyway, the guys are a little more interesting.
Ciara: The first male model I got was very well endowed
Ciara: He's in the army and was nicely toned but seemed shy
Me: ha! a man in uniform
Me: ...only...not
Ciara: yup
Ciara: this guy was in his early twenties. Not a bad way to start drawing the male body:-)
Ciara: anyway, then there was this guy who was alder, probably in his late 40s
Ciara: I felt ssssooooo sorry for him and so did the rest of the people in my section. Who discuss stuff like this together:-) Anyway, I knew it wasn't a good thing when the first thought that ran through my head after he took his clothes off was, "Where is it?"
At this point I pretty much started cracking up like a crazy person. I just wanted to share this conversation with everybody. It was too funny not to share.
;o)
[Edit] Holy fuck, did I write a lot in this entry!

Ciara: well there's not too much to tell about the female models, just one who had surprisingly large nipples. Probably about the size of a thumbnail which I found rather large. Anyway, the guys are a little more interesting.
Ciara: The first male model I got was very well endowed
Ciara: He's in the army and was nicely toned but seemed shy
Me: ha! a man in uniform
Me: ...only...not
Ciara: yup
Ciara: this guy was in his early twenties. Not a bad way to start drawing the male body:-)
Ciara: anyway, then there was this guy who was alder, probably in his late 40s
Ciara: I felt ssssooooo sorry for him and so did the rest of the people in my section. Who discuss stuff like this together:-) Anyway, I knew it wasn't a good thing when the first thought that ran through my head after he took his clothes off was, "Where is it?"
At this point I pretty much started cracking up like a crazy person. I just wanted to share this conversation with everybody. It was too funny not to share.
;o)
[Edit] Holy fuck, did I write a lot in this entry!

He said, "It was like they buried them alive, pissed on the coffin, burned the coffin, pissed on the ashes, and then danced on the pissed on ashes."
Can I help? Please say yes!

Date: 2003-11-25 01:14 pm (UTC)it makes me 12 kidns of happy, tho I admit, I liked "Middleman" and "Last Man Standing" better than "The Spy Who..." just for plot stuff. I lvoe Jake to bits, but didn't he just get reamed up one side and down the other last week for not following orders? Granted, they weren't shoot-to-kill orders, but still...

Date: 2003-11-25 02:29 pm (UTC)One thing that I really loved about this episode was Jake standing up and growling with all that righteous passion at the judge people. I'm convinced it's the hottest thing ever. Not to mention the cute, abashed, "Well...I saw her" (in reference to the news anchor lady).
I think about the following orders thing, these were different situations in that, while before Jake was basically being a total cowboy, in this case, the order actually went against his morals. Before, he was in the wrong. This time, he was trying to do what was right, and his partner and his boss knew that.
