Re: Smallville - Season 7 premiere 9/27/07
Overall I liked it. I'm usually glad when they drop most of the angst for some good ol' Superman action and stories. The Clark "You know, I learned something today" denouments are getting tiring, but it's just part of the show so I just grin and bear it.
They should just break the 'No Flights' rule and let him fly already. It would have been far more satisfying for Clark to fly Bizarro to the sun instead of his cousin. It's a bit embarrassing that Supergirl can do it and he can't. Talk about emasculating.
The bit at the end with Lana in China was laughable. For someone wanting to lay low, even if it's in a communist country, a bright blonde wig and red dress isn't the best way to go about it. With her decidedly exotic features her regular appearance would blend better than her "disguise."
Does anyone know why "Smallville" doesn't boradcast in Dolby 5.1? It only ever shows up as 2 channel stereo, but "Reaper" started right after it in full multi-channel surround, so it doesn't seem like it's the local channel not passing the signal.
"If you write a story about a soldier going AWOL and kidnapping a pregnant woman and finally shooting her in the head, it's called searingly realistic, even though it's never happened in the history of mankind. Whereas if you write about two people falling in love, which happens about a million times a day all over the world, for some reason or another, you're accused of writing something unrealistic and sentimental."
