Apparently We Aren't the Only Ones Missing 'Angel'

Seeing the opening scene of Smallville with "France 1604" printed across my screen and the fake looking sets and the bad accents, for a split second, my brain thought I was watching a new episode of Angel. But then Kristen Kruek showed up and the illusion was ruined. I could go on and on about all the problems with this week's ep, but, to sum up, I felt like I was watching an episode of Charmed. Nuff said. (Yes, I shall keep watching because, dammit, Tom Welling is too nummy to miss. :)

....."I'm going to brood...silently...over here". MUWAHAHAHAH. Ryan was funny! Like, throughout much of the episode. He's no Seth, but I actually found him mildly interesting. And the slash? Wow, they really aren't letting up on that are they - "I left because of you". OK boys, stop making a show of chasing after the girls and just do it already. ;-)

What can I say about Marissa? I think my icon says it all. Really, I didn't think it was possible to hate that girl more, yet she lowers the bar again! Selfish, shallow, and stupid only begins to cover it. Now, I'm even left to wonder why the hell Summer hangs out with her.

    *smacks you with frozen trout*

    CUT TAGS! CUT TAGS!!

    Well, for the O.C. anyway. I don't watch Smallville.

    hee!

    OK, I read my post two times before posting and I really didn't see anyting that I thought was spoilery because I avoided all plot points. The line I quoted was actually in an article I read this afternoon. But, in the future, I guess I'll just put everything behind a cut tag. When did you become so *pure*? ;-)

    *blushing*

    Yes, okay, over-reaction, I'm sorry. I blame... uh.. the phase of the moon? The fact that Ryan and Seth should just BLOW EACH OTHER ALREADY OMG??

    And with all the family trauma at the end, Seth really did need some consoling. ;-)

    And seriously, when Summer was yelling at Seth in front of the car, saying "at Chrismukka you chose Anna over me," I was CERTAIN she was going to say "And then you chose Ryan over me!"... but she didn't. But that's what she was THINKING dammit.

    Poor Summer. All she really wants is to watch Seth and Ryan have sex. And then maybe join in.

    And the poor girl deserves a reward for having to put up with Marissa. Why wasn't she the least bit pissed that her best friend was doing whatever the hell was she was doing with the 'yard guy' all summer and didn't say a word? And considering Marissa didn't have any problem being seen with the bad boy from Chino with a criminal record, why is it an issue to be seen with the guy that trims her hedges? Least he's working unlike most of the people on this show. :p

    Brits are even behinder, so what passes for a non-spoiler here might easily be a spoiler there.

    Well, last night's Smallville made the bad episodes that came before feel like good episodes. Worst episode of Smallville ever.

    I haven't seen all the episodes so I can't be a fair judge, but I still can't argue with your assessment. I think I was even embarrassed for the actors.

    I even felt embarrassed for Gwen Stefani because her new song (featured in the party scene)is so horrible. I'm just so disappointed that they built a great mystery with Lana's new tatoo only to have it end up in dreck like this. Ugh.

    You know what's kinda sad? That line sounded too good for this ep. It made me think of BtVS-quality writing. It didn't belong.

    I think the only thing I want to take away from this ep is the image of BulgingBoundClark! Because I'm shallow and he's pretty and I wanna violate him in many unmentionable ways. Heh.

    Btw, Asta babe, love the commentary here. You're right, the first scene did make me think of AtS! Ah, I miss my JossShows. At least I laughed with them, not at them.

    It was a good line and very-BtVS. That line and the opening sequence perhaps was DeKnight's influence.

    Oh, come on, mention them. ;)

    Ah, I miss my JossShows. At least I laughed with them, not at them.

    Yeah, even the 'bad' eps of Buffy and Angel weren't laughably bad. On the other hand, other than Shirtless!Tom! the only thing that held my interest was 'this is so bad it's funny'.

    Yes, I have to say that, if i wanted to watch Charmed...well I trust that one of my good friends would shoot me.

    Locked and loaded Chris.

    Yes, Charmed had promise and then it started to fall apart so badly that it is a parody of it's former self. I can't stand Charmed anymore. I abandonded that horse seasons ago.

    ....."I'm going to brood...silently...over here". MUWAHAHAHAH. Ryan was funny!

    I know! He made me laugh out loud. I think I may like this Ryan. He should be in sleeveless shirts more though.

    Now, I'm even left to wonder why the hell Summer hangs out with her.

    I was wondering the same thing. Why the hell does anyone hang out with her? And Summer had some really good lines and insights in this ep. I was impressed with her. Of course, it isn't going to do her any good. Seth belongs to Ryan and Ryan belongs to Seth. Forever may it be. ;)

    You want him in shirts?

    But, yeah, I'm definitely liking this Ryan more than last season's Mr Doom and Gloom. He also cracked me up during the first meeting of the comic book club. The guy has some really good facial expressions at his disposal. :)

    I was quite impressed with Summer too. She seemed to have gained a maturity that Marissa is sorely lacking.

    Shocked you, didn't I?

    Of course, if he doesn't want to wear shirts, I wouldn't want to make him. ;-)
