In case anyone cares, there are ( season 5 Smallville finale spoilers behind this cut. )

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh. Season Five did all right by me for the most part. There were some lows (wow, Aquaman wins at that once again!), some highs (go Chloe with your bad self!), and then there was the finale, a new definition of "What the F?" suck-i-tude. I can't see as season six could be much worse, but then again, I've seen the ads for the show as part of the CW....

Oh, but speaking of Aquaman? ( Guess what else I had on hand this evening: Mercy Reef (aka 'It's Aquaman, but it's really not lame, we swear!') )

I would actually say fans of Smallville's early years would like this. It's okay, not outstanding, but definitely better than I was expecting and softer on the obvious jokes/references than it could have been (it ended on a cliched line about life being a journey and what not, but to its credit, it did so whilst encouraging the main character to read Shakespeare, which is more education than Clark Kent was ever forced to receive in Kansas). Plus, hey, excuse to play in the water every episode! Talk about gratuitous money shots and excuses to have boobs hanging out all over the place. They had to have an awful episode involving Lois as an undercover stripper to get the boobs out on Smallville.

Slow news day, so how's about this hi-larious article from yesterday's SomethingAwful update? The title: Blue Stripe: The Life and Times of a Holodeck Janitor. About ST: TNG, and worth a gander.

Also, on the heels of watching the Aquaman pilot, I read the TWoP review of it, and I think it answers the question viridian posed to me about my own review, which was "What the F is Mercy Reef?"

Thanks be to Omar G:
And, oh yeah, Mercy Reef. Wasn't that the horrible, awful name this show was supposed to have instead of just Aquaman? I mean, come on, guys. Mercy Reef? Did you really think it was gonna get picked up with a name like that? Why not just call it Compassion Cove or Humanitarian Peninsula? How about The Isthmus of Caring?

Mock if you love Aquaman!

Cartoon Network scoffs, but mostly at Wonder Woman

The State does it even better
