Smallville "Supergirl"
Just a couple of really brief comments, since I really didn't like it too well and am probably just venting.
I love Clark, but I've never really been the Clarkgirl that many of the remaining SV fans are--as I was saying to somene in a review last week, most of the time I dont really notice when other characters are insulting him. Still, even I apparently have limits in how much plot stupidity about Clark that I can take, and this whole Jor-El/you're not ready/you have a darkness inside you/you're not pure of heart/you (gasp) occasionally have wanted to kill someone bullshit is just that: BULLSHIT. It's just creating drama for the sake of drama, and I hate it. DEAR SV WRITERS: CLARK IS NOT BRUCE WAYNE. He is more fucking pure-of-heart than Kara, that's for damn sure.
Normally I like Kara, but I was pissed off that (a) they let her be the first out superhero (b) in the Clark suit and (c) they have her giving flying lessons. ARGH. Way to undercut the Superman mythos, stupid writers. Everyone knows that Superman comes first and Supergirl is the imitator, NOT vice versa. And having her basically in the canonical Clark disguise at the end was the crowning insult. Yes, she looked cute, but COME ON. Can you please leave SOMETHING for Clark???
Still, I did love a few things in this episode, like the way Clark completely lit up at Lois' return, and how completely fierce Lois is about protecting Clark and Ollie's identities. I honestly thought she looked cutely fetishy enough in the limo driver's uniform and the BDSM garb was a little overkill, but I did love to see her undercover. And I liked her conversation with Kara about whether people with abilities look down on people who don't have them.
I am also intrigued by this year's villain, and also by Ollie's "coming out," and I'm looking forward to seeing where those plotlines will go. But overall I found this episode annoying. If they really needed Kara to be invulnerable to possession and Clark to be vulnerable, couldn't they have made it based on gender, or length of exposure to the yellow sun, or SOMETHING other than who is most pure of heart? That still pisses me off, even though I'm glad Lois was shown to be very pure of heart.
