Smallville- Exposed (11/3/2005)

[Henry]

The pilot was the big, beefy bodyguard type, wasn't he?

I may be the one misremembering - I thought the pilot was a third guy, slimmer.

Having seen her take out worse doesn't do it for me - that just makes the problem worse! She's unrealistically tough - takes out people as well as, say, Batman could. A bit of combat training from your dad doesn't do that for you. Years of regular training doesn't make people as tough as she is.

I'll concede this; the main point given is that they're establishing Lois as one who doesn't stand on the sidelines. The part that gets me is that Lois has NO desire to be a reporter, and NO desire to get up and go and help others - she's ostensibly getting that from Chloe by osmosis, I take it. The Lois Lane we knew from the comics snuck into places, violated dozens of laws to get stories - heck, in one apocryphal tale she turned herself into a black woman to get a story!

In short, Chloe / Lois is a gestalt person, instead of Chloe just being the original person who gets Clark interested in Reporting and helping, and I'm curious where they're taking it.

By jove, you've solved it! Bring on the kryptonite, we've got a character to finish up here!

This was the first episode I've seen since just after Lionel revealed he wasn't really blind (that's when we turned off the cable, had a big move, and much upheaval). I must say that while I did notice all of those little snags in the plotline, between Lois's breasts dominating half the screen for a minute or two there, and the little fanboy inside standing up and cheering every few seconds at the Dukes of Hazzard references, I enjoyed it a fair bit. I'm just glad I've kept up wih things via the internet JUST enough to have a vague kind of idea of what's gone on since I last saw it (like, that gal's Lois, they've been doing the Metropolis thing, etc).
It was... good. Not excellent or anything, but good.
