Smallville

I'm surprised no one's busted me on my TV viewing habits. I mean, Charmed has been off the air for... well, it may have just ended a year or so back, but it hasn't been making new episodes in a while (that I know of). And I'm just now starting to get into Smallville and Supernatural.

Yes, I realize all of these shows are "old" now. Thing is, the place I lived for so many years didn't have a WB network. Well, technically it did -- a late-night weekend block that was easier to miss than Kate Moss in a pile of snow-covered toothpicks -- but no one ever saw it. This is one of the reasons I didn't get into Buffy or Angel or any of the rest. What's really odd is that I somehow managed to see almost the entire run of the short-lived Jack & Jill from the network... I don't remember how that happened, but it was on that late-night block. For some reason, I was home to see those.

Well, I guess it's not that odd. I mean, that girl is... now one of my favorite actresses on Studio 60.

At any rate, I've just recently been getting into Smallville and I wish I'd gotten into it so much sooner! I really just don't expect all that much from such genre shows and I'm usually not disappointed (meaning to say that I'm incredibly disappointed, but I figured as much going in), which is why I rarely seek them out. I end up catching a marathon or something on a weekend when absolutely nothing else is on (everything after "weekend" is redundant), or they start running them in a weekday slot when nothing else is on, and I get into them.

Anyway, I've been watching the last season or two of Smallville for the last few weeks and saw the double-episode with Flash and Cyborg on The New CW... nevermind... and now I'm hyped for tonight's season premiere. I think Supernatural is new tonight too, but 30 Rock is just too funny to miss. And I'm hoping that Supernatural gets picked up for syndication soon, anyway. I have at least 2-3 hours of free TV time in my weekday schedule, so it's a good bet for any enterprising cable network execs who want to assure at least one viewer. Or maybe Sci-Fi could stop with all the marathons and actually put together a decent daytime schedule?

Anyway, I've written a lot on Dark Knight Returns, DK2, and putting comics together this week (namely flow, pacing, and paneling), and the website is being exterminated as we speak, so there should be plenty o activity around these parts for the next week or so.

I'm just happy you're not mentioning ATHF! Anything else you watch is usually High Class (since i watch that other stuff too) so Bravo! *smiles*

Tori Spelling was Linda Lake (Hydro) and it was a really good episode! For all the shit that poor girl's gotten over the years, she's become quite the little actress!

And Clark dressed up as Green Arrow and kissed the HELL out of Lois. Has Wonder Woman made an appearance on there yet? I really am curious to see who they'll get to play Diana of the Amazons.

Whoever plays Green Arrow makes me question my sexuality. He's way too pretty to be natural. He frustrates me. He makes me want to take up a completely non-sexual hobby and yell at my imaginary girlfriend for no real reason.

He makes me want to churn butter.
