trinityvixenLast night, I was too lazy to get up and turn off the TV (the remote was all the way across from me! I mean, what's the point of a remote if I'm going to forget it and leave it on top of the stupid TV!?) after Smallville, so I ended up watching the first episode of Supernatural I've seen since I tried to watch the premiere when it first aired.
Lesson learned: Don't be so fucking lazy. Really, I should have gotten up and switched it off the second I recognized the actress playing damsel in distress as Lex's lazy-eyed wife. The woman is a dreadful actress, and I cannot fathom how she is considered hot at all. Even for the not-all--that-attractive-either boys playing the brothers in the show, that's slumming. And, come on show: you probably have the biggest audience of the entire WB/CW netork's worth of shows, judging by your fandom! Can't you afford a little werewolf makeup? No one was even hairy. Not even like Italian-level hairy.
ETA: A cut-tag for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ivy03, who is--believe it or not--more fanatical about not being spoiled than I. Yes, I can scarce believe it myself. Cut-tag because I love her crazy head nonetheless.
Still, wasn't worse than what had come before it. I dunno whether it's powerful lame or just a sign of the times that Smallville throws around the phrase "fight club" without a hint of irony. Either they think it's that cool to say or it's just part of the Things Kids Say These Days. The target audience of Smallville, judging from a WB/CW demographic should really be too young to think Fight Club is just something to make slang out of, right?
Whatever. Smallville is so bad. Why can't I turn it off? I had The Descent from Netflix and everything, and still I sat through the show (and the one after, God).
The Descent was fucking creepy, and not for the stupid in-bred cave monsters (though, to their credit, they were pretty good as being creepy, too). It had a reasonsable solution to the age-old problem of horror flicks: it knew how to keep the victims in close proximity to the monsters. The "haunted house" scenario suffers unless there's a reason you can't get away (Alien solved that problem by being set in space; zombie movies work best when the people are trapped in a location and not when they're trying to flee constantly), and The Descent's excuse was the girls involved were cave-diving in a heretofore unexplored cave and there was a rock slide to block their entrance. Excuse me, but that's scary right the fuck there, monsters or no monsters. I was feeling claustrophobic in my living room.
Fun facts about the movie: one girl was the love interest from the worst episode of Farscape (at least, the worst in season one), and another was the here-and-gone Sam from Spooks. Hurrah for my IMDB brain!

But I guess I can't really complain about spoilers anymore, since I don't make much of an effort to stay current on even the shows I want to see. I appreciate your efforts, though.
I just think there's no way to avoid spoilers anymore if you spend any time at all online, and with media reporting being what it is these days. Eh.
