don't be dull, be fannish

( NCIS 1211 or I can't believe that this show actually managed to shock me O.o! )

( NCIS: NOLA 111 or is it just me or is the culprit totally obvious? )

Also, I decided to drop Scorpion and move The Flash to my "watch later on on DVD" list.

On Scorpion, I love the team but the cases are boring, I don't like Paige much and I hate all the attention the show's paying to Ralph and his dad by proxy. And all the unnecessary shipping goes on my nerves: Happy and Toby, Sylvester and Walter's sister, Walter and Paige, Paige and her ex... Why? Just... why?!

And The Flash... I'm not as enamored with the show like many others, it seems. It's a good one but also one better watched in big chunks. Because in big chunks, I can dismiss Barry's unhealthy obsession with Iris but week for week? Sorry, I don't find his infatuation endearing but creepy and annoying. He had ALL HIS FRICKIN' LIFE to tell her he loved her, but no. And now that she has a boyfriend he's starting to make an issue out of it? Stop, just... stop, please.

Also, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I'll watch it once more eps air, marathon it. In these itty bitty pieces, I just don't enjoy it as much. The same goes for The Mentalist.

So, the only shows I WILL keep on watching "live" are: The Originals, NCIS, NCIS: NOLA, Agent Carter/SHIELD, Forever and The Librarians (only 4 eps to go there). Man, I really cut it down, didn't I? O.o But it will give me the time to watch my DVDs. Right now, I'm watching Smallville S8!

After seeing Justin Hartley on Revenge, I got this sudden craving to watch Smallville again. And him as Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow. Gosh, he was awesome as Olli, wasn't he?

"Clark & Oliver - Daisy" (Watch on YouTube)

I own seasons 1-4 on DVD. S5-7 are better left alone even though they feature some awesome Lois and Oliver stuff. I don't think I'll ever be able to go back and watch them again. I just can't with the Clark/Lana/Lex crap, no way, no how. But S8-10 are incredible again because the show managed to totally reinvent itself after Lana and Lex left. It became much darker, it stopped being an after-school especial every other episode, and the mythology was mind-blowing. And Clark and Oliver's friendship... *_* It made me very, very happy. Just like Clark and Lois' ship! Because SV's Lois is my ultimate Lois!

Which means, I need to get S8-10 on DVD. Not owning S5-7 will literally pain me - yes, I'm obsessive-compulsive! - but... Maybe one day? And I will skip everything Lex and Lana related? But for now, I need S8-10! Clark! Oliver! Lois! Chloe! \o/

A gen Smallville story in which Clark isn't an alien, just a simple boy adopted by a lovely couple. At the beginning, Clark's a high school dropout, working on his GED. He dropped out after his adoptive father, Jonathan Kent, died of a heart attack. Clark and his mom can't really manage the farm alone but the land was Jonathan's pride and joy, so they do what they can.

Lex doesn't hit Clark with the car but he does crash it and Clark does save him. Lex gives Clark a new car as a thank-you and Clark accepts it because it's a new car! And pride be damned when you need a car to run a farm with little to no funds. Lex is impressed by Clark because Clark didn't grovel or try to milk Lex's favor. So he decides to invest into the Kent farm - they accept. Clark and Lex become friends, much to Lionel's disapproval - you don't befriend people who basically work for you.

But then Rachel Dunleavy comes to Smallville, claiming Clark's her son - hers and Lionel's. And it proves to be true. Lex is delighted, Clark's confused, Martha's scared, Lionel's intrigued and Rachel's vengeful. She wants to take Clark away from Martha - and milk Lionel for support money. She goes too far though and lands herself in prison.

In the middle of the "war" between Lionel and Rachel - and Lionel and Martha - Clark gets so upset/confused/lost and exhausted by everybody's demands that he forgets to replace the break fluid in Martha's old car as she asked him to and she dies in an accident. Clark has a breakdown and Lex takes him in, making it clear to Lionel that he is not welcome.

Clark and Lex become as tight as ever. Lex helps Clark get his GED and rent out the farm. Clark becomes Lex's confidant. They ally against Lionel. Lionel tries to lure Clark away, offering him a piece of Luthor Corp as a "gift" to get into Clark's good graces. Clark asks for Cadmus lab, a local company, which Lionel is happy to give him - he considers it worthless. But Clark and Lex have a plan - they give all their shares in Cadmus to Sir Hardwick who really wants the lab, not knowing it's worthless, and in exchange he gives them his shares in Luthor Corp. With that, Lex becomes the majority shareholder of Luthor Corp, ousting Lionel.

Lex becomes the head of Luthor Corp, expanding the company. He takes over Sir Hardwick's corporation and turns Luthor Corp into Lex Corp. He and Clark move together to Metropolis. Clark becomes Lex's right hand. They keep the fact that they're brothers to themselves but Lois Lane is determined to uncover their clandestine affair - much to their amusement. It's them against the world and sky's the limit.

So, there you have it. This is the fic I'll never write. And as you can see, I have it broken down to minute details since it's been stuck in my head for the last... 5 or more years. I love to poke at it in my head, usually in bed when I'm about to fall asleep. That's when I add a bit here, a bit there from time to time.

I love the fic - even in its unwritten form :)

The CW will present the series finale of Smallville as an epic two-hour television event on Friday, May 13 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET.)

(...)

Supernatural will be pre-empted on May 13 but will return with a two-hour season finale on Friday, May 20 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET.) Link

Just so that you know :)

For the longest time I've wondered why I disliked Hilarie Burton on WhiCo so much - well, besides the "I'm little Miss Mary-Sue personified" thing, that is. And today, while I was watching Smallville? Revelation! She looks so much like Cassidy Freeman, it's eerie. And I just CAN'T STAND Tess Mercer on SV.

Photographic evidence:

For the first time ever, SPN beat SV in both the A18-49 and the A18-34 demo! For the FIRST TIME EVER, folks!

Smallville 1.0 A18-49, 1.0 A18-34
Supernatural 1.1 A18-49, 1.2 A18-34

And demo's what's important, not the overall viewership. SV tied Nikita this week in both the demos!

The funny thing? Supernatural - together with Hellcats - has the cheapest ad rates on all broadcast: 30 sec. promo costs only $30k (link). What an irony...

Here. And wow, I'm smitten. SMITTEN! Man, I can't wait. It's... WOW! *stares*

SpoilerTV posted the official synopsis of Smallville's 10x01! Beware it's chock full of spoilers! My favorite part?

( Lois, you're rocking awesome! )

But I decided to try and stop reading spoilers. You know, I've read so many of them for SPN and SV and and and... the summer finale of WhiCo that... Would you believe that I'm not even looking forward to it anymore like I used to? It's really weird :( So, from now on, I'll try to stay away from spoilers - at least for some time. Uh, where did I hear that before? ;P

Okay, tell me that that scene wasn't creepy, with all of them kneeling down before Clark... O.o
