Smallville: Static & Hydro
No new Supernatural last night but I did have two episodes of Smallville on my DVR. Static from last week and then last nights repeat of Hydro. Except when I was watching Hydro I didn’t at first realize that it was a repeat until the Green Arrow popped up and Lana was all confused by whether or not to marry Lex. This was because I was totally distracted by having Tori Spelling back on prime time as a gossip columnist. Of the two Static was the most fun because is combined the strengths of CW: fantasy drama plus the Pussycat Dolls PLUS Friday Night Smack Down.
I kid you not - I think they are on to a winner!
A Krypto fight club has sprung up where meteor affected people go to knock each other about and it is streamed live all over the world. It turns out that Titan from the Phantom Zone (a “Zoner” if you will) is headlining and Clark (and Lois) head off to stop this, or in Lois case dress like Janet Jackson (she was undercover, doh!) and flirt with the female security guard. Both Clark and Titan are spoiling for a fight. Titan is a warrior (with Kryptonic prison tats) whilst Clark has had that mean and hungry look ever since the wedding.
Clark us is christened ‘The Man of Steel’ at the fight club and has to fight Lois! Ever the gentleman he refuses to fight her, but does shoot death rays from his eyes to blow out the webcam and some how alerts Titan to his presence. A nasty fight ensues. Titan has a sneaky, pointy weapon up his sleeve but in the end good triumphs and Clark kills Titan in accidental self-defense.
Back in Lutherland, Lana loses the baby and Lex is covering up the paperwork trail from the hospital but burning all the medical records. What is up there? I have a feeling that when Lana finds out she is going to be even more of a threat to Lex than Clark.
Overall one of the stronger episodes I’ve seen, Clark in black leather helped but what is up with Clark’s base of operations being the barn? He needs a Bat Cave or something!

I’m having a hard time following Smallville these days. I started watching when it first aired but how many times can Lana be nearly killed, ya know?
Dying for a new Supernatural and in the meantime, I’m really digging on Pussycat Dolls. Not the most intelligent show on the network but it’s fun to watch.

I find Smallville confusing because I have watched the first season and the current. There is all this terminology like “meteor affected people” and Lana has at least one near miss a week.
Maybe I’ll give the Pussycat Dolls a go… Something to distract till April 19th!
