Well, it's 8:14 and I know who the villian is.

Dear Smallville,

It is my unpleasant duty to inform you, once again, that you have turned into pure derrivative shit. Even worse than the freak-of-the-week scenarios of the first season (those were at least original and entertaining, with threads of relevant plot in between) are these blantant rip offs of popular current films. Ripping off Flatliners a few weeks ago was fairly shameless. But SAW? That movie isn't even five years old yet, and the sequel is barely out on DVD. Can't you at least rip off something we haven't all just seen/rented/purchased?

Good golly, Smallville! You have a really attractive cast, much of whom actually can act--and this is what you do with them?

Frankly I'm depressed and ashamed. Even for a show on the WB, this is tearfully, remarkably, horrifically bad.
Also, if you need writers, (and I think it's pretty obvious that you do) please let me know.

I could take a handful of sleeping pills and come up with something more exciting and original than this.

Your in Kryptonite,

Wednes

PS Clearly its the guy in charge of security.

Was that the guy in charge of security? I didn't recognize him. (Well, not true, I recognize the actor, just not the character.)

Yes, he was the only non-regular character who spoke in the whole episode, except for random law enforcement.

*shakes head*

What a waste of Lionel Luthors biceps!

The mistake was not making it Lionel who did it to himself. When he was emoting to Martha I felt sure that he had a hand in it. Of course, baring Lex doing it (Which would have been good too) it HAD to be the security guy. Yawn

Not to mention, they used the same trite reveal as when they did that ep about the woman stalking Lex because she cheated on her fiance' with him but he didn't love her or some crap. The one where you find out about the diamond earrings.

I almost called you at the half to ask if this was the Saw episode.

I wish I hadn't wasted my time. I could have finished mowing the lawn.

Wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't have already done Flatliners less than a month ago.
