Jan. 21st, 2015 11:28 pmI'm loving S8! I admit that I basically skipped S5-7. I hated Princess "I can do no wrong" Lana and the Lex/Lana/Clark love triangle. I hated it so very, very much. But S8, what with both Lex and Lana gone, it feels like a completely different show, it's like they poured new life into it.
What I really love is Tess Mercer and her little dance with Clark. She pushes, he deflects. He's no boy anymore who would panic at the first chance of being found out, in that Lex was a good teacher. Now she prods, he smirks, and they circle each other like sharks, it's not a cat and mouse game anymore.
And I love Clark and Lois. They are amazing together. Tom Welling and Erica Durance are my favorite Clark and Lois, hands down. I love that she cares so much for him but she always covers it with a laugh and a punch in the ribs, for all her femininity, there's something really tomboyish about her. And their chemistry is off the charts. And despite Clark's superhuman abilities, it still feels like SHE is the one wearing pants in their relationship and there's something incredibly appealing about it.
Another thing that fascinates me is, how far Clark's friends are willing to go to protect him. First Chloe with the memory thief, then later on Oliver with Lex... And at the very end of the show Tess Mercer herself. People seem to fall hard for Clark and it's kinda amazing.
Cannot wait to watch more of the show! When it first aired, I saw only bits and pieces of the later seasons so this is my first thorough watch-through of it. Nice!
