Smallville: Scare

[fajrdrako]

Since I finally, finally, finally received acampbell's Christmas package, I sat down yesterday to watch the Smallville episode Scare. Actually, I did aerobics through the first half - thought it might help my migraine, and it did, a little. Then I sat down and watched the second half.

With extreme attention.

It made me realize why I like Smallville so much. It isn't the connection with Superman comics, which I hardly ever read, and if I do it's because of something in them that interests me, usually a connection to Batman or Kon-El or Smallville.

Now, I've been often known to say I watch Smallville because of the Luthor family adventures. Specifically, for the sake of Lex, who is sexy and smart and troubled and so smitten with Clark it sometimes hurts to watch. I find intelligence incredibly attractive and Lex is incredibly intelligent. At least, my Lex is - sometimes in the show he doesn't live up to his potential (as they say) and those are my most-hated bits of the show.

I discovered with Scare that it isn't just that. What I love even more than the Clexiness is seeing Lex doing something heroic.

In Scare he was as heroic as in Jitters. And it reminded me of Hourglass too, another of my favourite episodes.

Thank you so much, acampbell, for making sure I could see this wonderful episode. (The only one I've missed since I caught up with first season, way back when.) It was even better than I'd hoped.

I'm just sorry the package apparently took the "scenic route," and that you had a migraine when you finally got to sit down & watch "Scare".

The more I watch that ep, the better I like it, too. I especially appreciate the way it ends up with our guys apparently aligned, at least for a bit.

Yes, but at least I could watch it! And will again.

Always nice to see - a mutual respect as well as affection. I really like that.
