Alias

Alias totally ripped off True Lies tonight. Sydney needed to pass as a hooker so she ripped the neck, sleeves and skirt of her dress, then slicked back her hair with water. That is completely Jamie Lee Curtis. My jaw dropped as I watched. I couldn't believe they completely stole that!

Smallville?

So, have you watched "Crouching 18th Century Witch, Hidden Kryptonian Artifact" yet? Any thoughts?

I'm not sure I even want to bring my critical brain to bear on Smallville. It's just so disappointing lately. I realized that I've seen every episode and I still don't know who has what stones. And I was trying to justify this tying into the greater mythology, with the caves and Naman and Segeeth and I just keep coming back to the fact that I hate what they've done with Lana's character. OK, I get that they needed to do something with her character - she couldn't continue to be the girl next door - but she's just not the same character anymore. And I don't like her being all mixed in with the superman mythology. And all those conversations with Clark? Gag me. I never thought I'd say it, but I miss Whitney. I really do.

Stones are easy: Clark has one (that he took from Lex's jet and that gave him his powers back in the Halloween episode). Jason gave one to Lana at the end of this episode. And Dr. Swan found one that he gave to his disappearing lady friend.

I'm not sure what your new problem with the Lana/Clark conversations are. They haven't changed in four seasons. Same bad acting, same attitude, slightly different words.

Though Lana has been mixed into the Superman mythology for years. In silver age continuity, she's was Superboy's Lois, and then Lois' chief competition for Superman's attention. In modern continuity, she was the first non-Kent to learn Clark's secret identity.

Yes, but there's a difference between being a love interest and confidante and being part of Clark's Kryptonian "destiny."
