Maybe we need to redefine exactly what you mean by "No Flights and No Tights"

Because Clark (oh excuse me, I mean Kal-El...Kal El of the Krypton El's; I have to clarify that since there's more than one now...damn you Nick Coppola!!) has been flying all over the damn place on that there "Smallville". Seriously, this is like, the 3rd or 4th time he has flown. Next they'll be telling us that those tight fitting blue things on his legs are not tights, they are "leggings".

Plus, after watching Superman II as a kid, and then later as an adult, I was inclined to think that Lois Lane was his um..."first". Not so. That being the case, I'm not clear how Lana can be Clarks "unrequited high-school crush" when they have, in fact, done the deed. In fact, what's with all the pre-marital sex on a show skewed to high schoolers anyway? 90210 didn't have all this crazy sex in it. First, Chloe knocks boots with Jimmy Olsen...you've got Lex screwing and sending earrings to any brunette that moves, and now Cornfed Clark Kent converting his little barn-space into a Fortress of Humpitude. Great Ceasar's Ghost!!

That said, I'm not really so surprised to learn that Aqualad, like nearly everything else in Smallville, is some kind of Luthorcorp experiment gone wrong. At least it's lucky that all the meteor mutants space themselves out so Clark and Chloe only have to defeat one each week. You'd think with all those meteor crazies out there, there's be at least some overlap. Oh, well.


As for me, I'm having the girls from group over tonight for a movie. We'll be making tiny treats in the Queasy Bake Cookerator. We have some of the gross mixes, and some of the nice ones. In any event, I'm sure we'll have better luck than this guy. Even though I haven't done it in awhile (I had the old-school girl oven as a kid) I'm rather an old hand at this.

Oh, and this has been running through my mind all afternoon
Let's see who knows what movie this hilarious quote is from:

Guy 1: "That's because Lance Hunt IS Captain Amazing."

(groans of derision, 'don't start that again' etc)

Guy 2: "Captain Amazing does NOT wear glasses"

G1 "That's because he takes them off when he transforms"

G2: "That's ridiculous, he wouldn't be able to SEE!!"

This is why I miss watching this stuff with you.

He didn't fly at all. He made a mighty leap in a single bound, but he was far from flying in last nights episode. Last season with the whole Kal-El flying was a reach, but this time, I see he just jumped really high.

Clark and Lana aren't in HS anymore. They graduated last year. They are over 18 and out of HS making all the pre-marital sex ok. Besides, it's WB... Hello!!

I didn't hear about Aquman (not aqualad because that's his son, and "lad" isn't in the JLA) being a result of Luthercorp, but figured he was captured by the Luthors, and held for experimentation. Because he is one of the big originals, I doubt they would change the storyline that we all know and love that much. They've added some things, but I wouldn't think they'd go that far as to say that the Luthors made that tool.

lastly, I thought for sure that while Clark was mortal he would need glasses. It would've been a great time to add them, then when he gets his powers back he could say, "I got contacts," as to not make his beauty suffer to all you Welling followers.

The glasses idea would have been genius. I'm exited to see Aquaman. Cathy and I were both like, "COOL!" when we saw that.

yes, I know. That's because I thought of it. :)

You know... Everyone hates Aquaman, right?


Everyone...


Even your cats...

I like Aquaman. I don't care what my cats say. My fish like him too.

Stereotypically, gay men LOVE Aquaman.

Sometimes I have to be a guy.

That makes no sense at all.






he smells like fish. *ba dum dum*

Whoa, did I just cross post this to a frat house?

I also forgot to say that they might have had time for the Phantom Zone to break had they not set aside time for that horrible looking FOG trailer.

I don't LOVE him, I just like the classic DC characters. Anyone from Superfriends ould show up and I'd be pumped.

I ... see. Have I mentioned I loathe Cher? And tolerate karaoke only for purposes that have little-if-anything to do with karaoke? And almost never go to plays?

What I'm saying, obviously, is that I'm in love with _you._

Well, I did preface that with the word "stereotypically". I know you're not calling me out though, because you were clear in my poll that you never call anyone out on such matters.

Do let me know when you want to stop by for some freaky wild sex a movie, for I love you as well.

Okay, perhaps last night did, in fact, indicate the leaping in a single bound. But what about season 2 when he "leapt" up to get the stone from Lex in the airplane? I'm sorry, but if he's reaching a point where normal people would die, it's gone beyond leaping and into flying.

Obviously, I don't subscribe to the philosophy that pre-marital sex is wrong. But come on, turning 18 by no means indicates that premarital sex is suddenly okay. I know a woman of 18 excommunicated from her church for having premarital sex. This happened 6 months ago, so not like, in the 80's or something.

Obviously, saying "Aqualad" was a joke for your benefit (and CWM's perhaps).

You know what else they should've done at the end of that episode last night?? Shown the goddamn phantom zone breaking. I mean, we all know that the only thing that would break the phantom zone is a nuclear explosion. Why not just show it happen. We don't need to deal with them until later in the season, but c'mon.

I thought that too.

Ditto.

Ditto?

You mean, like a mimeograph?

I'm just saying...it's a rather archaic way to agree.

Why not try one of those laser copiers, H speaks very highly of them.

LOL

Ditto, also called the Hectograph, is quite different from the Mimeograph. A Ditto master has ink pressed onto the Master sheet, and when the ink runs out, you have to make a new Master. You cut a stencil, with the Mimeograph, and it can be used indefinitely as long as you treat the stencil carefully.

How interesting. I had no idea.

Ditto vs Mimeo

Comes from having Teachers in the family...in this era of Xerography, it's like knowing the difference between two brands of buggy whip.

Normally I'm not one for huffing. But mimeograph ink! How nice.

Seriously though. When the bomb started to explode, I said "And this is where the phantom zone breaks..." And then it didn't happen. Maybe they didn't want to bring them back so soon, or what. But it would have been cool.

Re: This is why I miss watching this stuff with you.

Yeah, because why else would you go to all the trouble of writing a whole episode around an nuclear bomb exploding in space?
