Forgot to link to my review of the season seven premiere of Smallville over at Pink Raygun. Yes, I still have that picture. There wasn't any way that, once I got the PR gig, I wasn't putting that out there. I'm still pissed I had to take a picture of the ad in the subway and couldn't find that hilarious shot online anywhere way back at the start of both the sixth season and the CW.

Read viridian's review, too. She's better at the funny. Spoilers, duh.

Wow, have I really only posted this and my crazed Dexter-crushing post since Thursday? Jesus, I am too busy at work (where I think to do most of my LJ posting). I need things to get lazy again.

I wasn't drunk for the first half of Prison Break. The verdict? Booze is not necessary, but it doesn't hurt. Was glad for a tiny little cameo as that's all we'll get of the one character for a while, but otherwise, meh. I'm just sitting here trying to remember how very much just about everyone in the new prison to break out of hates each other and why on earth any of them would do anything to help the other. Even if it meant saving their own skin? I'm sure that any of his enemies would gladly die knowing they fucked over Michael Scofield. Because he might not die, he'd just suffer. That's worth it to these scumbags, isn't it?

I've been listening to Billy Idol lately. Um, is it horribly cheesy to think that his songs are made of sex? Because I swear you could get a paraplegic off on "Rebel Yell." And there's so much dirtysexywrong-ness to "White Wedding." Always has been, is even more so because of why he wrote the song (it was a chastisement of his sister for marrying the guy who got her pregnant; she's still married to him, Billy split with the girlfriend who had his kid). It's just hard to deny: when Idol is on, he is on.

Dude, so, I am rethinking my position on sharing those reviews since...

I just realized I have to try to write 20something witty and coherent reviews of this godawful show, AND try to make them DIFFERENT FROM YOURS.

Also, dude, no WAY is mine funnier. I was lol'ing so hard at your Kryptonian 8-ball.

I'm going to start inserting my drunkenness into episodes, that's how I'll be different. Because, of the two of us, I am the bigger binger on alcohol. I already drink heavily to get through Prison Break. I'll review each Smallville episode with (instead of grades or such) the amount of alcohol it takes to make me either understand, forgive, or (heaven forbid) like that episode.

Nice job on the reviews, both of you!

Also, as far as the 8-ball goes, at CW my class bought Connie Willis an 8-ball that offers excuses she can give her editor for why her new book, All Clear, still isn't done. One of the excuses (and my favorite) was KRYPTONITE. I also liked "No hable Ingles". :)

Dude! That is an awesome 8-ball! I have to get one.

I found your review rather amusing, especially given that I don't plan to actually watch the show. Smallville lost me a while ago.

I'm glad you liked it. If it spares someone the pain of actually watching the show, then it was not all for nothing!

The fourth season was a loss, and I almost gave it up then, but it picked up a lot after that. Five and six were overall good to excellent, with the usual roller coaster from episode to episode.
