I'm impressed by how natural it felt. I mean I love Chloe and always imagined she's the one side character who must absolutely stick around for the show to feel like Smallville, but to her credit she became her own thing. And I hate to admit it but her absence from the show this season, barring the cool/creepy disappearance from the opening credits after the first episode, wasn't that deeply felt. Anyway, along with her departure it also hit me newly that Oliver can't do the vigilante stuff anymore. It made me freshly sad, idk why. <br />-Clark drunkenly bumping into the wall superspeeding was hilarious, I can't believe we went this long without seeing that stuff!<br />-Going to really miss Chloe's expressions, it's kind of amazing how she seems to find a different way to smile every time...<br />-Isn't it weird that despite Oliver having more traditionally male facial features than Clark, he somehow feels more natural in the showgirl outfit? I try to imagine Clark and it just feels wrongOnigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-79799509744943214172015-12-31T11:02:06.742-05:002015-12-31T11:02:06.742-05:00I love this episode, officially best episode ever,...I love this episode, officially best episode ever, I wish more episodes in the mid seasons were as quirky as this.<br /><br />I entirely agree with you Billie, Olly pulled it off, but Clark as a showgirl would be cringe worthy.

I don't just mean it was campy; it was campy in that specific Superman way. Love Lois' unhealthy obsession with getting the ring back, for example.<br /><br />Zob, for me the delight comes from seeing a man wear the same clothes I do every night before going to sleep, though I will freely admit my attention was more on Lois at that point. I could watch that woman's neck all day.<br /><br />Lovely review as always, Billie.Dimitri A.C.

I loved the way he threw himself into the fight looking the way he did, too. I don't think dressing up every male lead that way is ever an automatic winner. It worked with Oliver. It wouldn't work with Clark.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-12983534968341483222011-03-03T22:07:03.613-05:002011-03-03T22:07:03.613-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.zobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715413225081718476noreply@blogger.com
