I'm very, very tired of Jonathan.
Just for the record.
Short entry, because I got so bored, but there were some happy high points that made me giggle.
One, Clark's hair's cute, his eyes are very green, and he's really boring. I mean, really, really boring this week. I would say his emotive capacity was as one with frogs, but I've read frog!Clark fic, and nope, the frog!Clark did better. But damn, you were pretty, and I see you have added a new expression, confused yet stoic determination. Which is somewhat differnet than mere confused determination and very subtly differnet from the stoic version. This brings your total thoughtful expressions to three. Very impressive.
You woobie well using that stoic determined look, btw. Poor alone baby. Methinks you're feeling insecure now that Mommy adn Dady are having a baby and Lex has a girlfrined AND a brother. Poor, poor lonely Clark.
Two, Lex makes me happy. He is SO obsessed. Dear God, he is obsessed. And lookie there, we're back to the bridge obsession and now it gets its own screen. A very, very big screen. Anyone notice this besides me? And also, Clark's jail pic (wasn't it?) a few feet high there.
I'm curious, though, sport--for all this careful studying of strangeness, why again do we need a three foot tall picture of Clark's face? Hmm?
Also, I forgive you for Helen, because you have just proved that you are going to be GOOD at that criminal mastermind thing once you start objectifying people, and well, a good way to start is with your girlfriend. I'm thinking you're working up to doing that to Clark.
I'd also suggest some therapy, but at this point, I think you'd damage your therapist too much. I am, of course, at your service to help with your army of destruction. Feel free to ignore my obviously-insane Rosetta mumblings about joining Clark. Obviously, I was Very Ill.
Three, Jonathan, go away. You have officially lost my sympathy. You are annoying. Helen KNOWS. And also? Martha is jittery because SHE CONCEIVED A CHILD DUE TO A SPACESHIP, kay? This is not pregnant-mommy hormones, so one more indulgent man-look and I swear, I will kill you in five fics and make it messier every time. Don't push me.
Four, Lana, I'm impressed. That is beautifully manipulative. Seriously. I had no idea you were capable of that kind of advanced planning and foresight. See? THIS is intersting. You may get to nail Lex after all. You're totally proving your worthiness here.
Five, Chloe and Pete, I didn't see much of you but when I did, you forwarded the plot admirably, much like a truck forwards a person down a road. Brava.
Six, Helen, Jesus, pick a side. Your eyes are weird and I don't trust you at all with Lex, because you are going to betray him and he's probably still going to mourn you, in his Lexian way. And that sucks. Are you a Kent-person or a Lex-person? Let me point out--Jonathan's a bitch and Lex gives orgasms. Think for a minute. Seriously. This shouldn't be a choice.
Maybe this ep will grow on me. Visage did. It really, really did.
Though you know, Clark and Lex again amuse me. And I agree with Liv and whoever else said that Lex is perfectly capable of living on two levels--friendly with Clark and also clinically obsessed with him, without ever quite noticing that hmm, this is weird. I suppose anyone who grew up with Lionel Luthor learns the fine art of compartmentalization very very well.
Interesting that he took Helen to that room. I wasn't too sure of what the HELL he was thinking during Fever, other than the fact that someone slipped him a few dozen valium in his coffee, but yes, he knows Helen knows something interesting, and yes, he has every intention of finding out, and yes, Helen, if you try to lie or keep it from him, Something Bad will happen to you. I just wonder if he's the one that will do it.
Re-donning my Lexian jackboots and looking foward to the destruction of all that is good and pure. I'd suggest starting with Clark's technical virginity.
For this, need more coffee.
Just for the record.

From:*Nods feverently* Yes...he knows what Clark looks like already. And such a pretty, pretty picture too! Therefore, it is reasonable to assume the picture is there for an entirely *different* purpose.
I will kill you in five fics and make it messier every time. Don't push me.
Now...I'm kinda hoping he'll *push* you.
Hey, although I'm kinda weirded out by Lex's Bluebeard inspired room ...I am also strangely happy about it. Lex has been on top of everything all along, which, you know, we all suspected, but it's still reassuring to know that he still has that scary smart brain in fully functioning mode.
Ooh, even scanning of Clark's family tree. *whistles* Niiiicccee.
Nice to *know* he didn't actually buy that lovely junk mail crapfest in the hospital corridor.

From:Last season, in my own little private SV universe, the background I created for Martha was that she went from a controlling father to a controlling husband. This season has just borne that out for me. I don't actually think the Kents have that great a marriage. He orders her around, and rather than standing up to him, she goes behind his back. First with borrowing money from her father, and now going to see Helen. Her behavior would make total sense if she had been raised to think she didn't have a right to stand up for herself. The one time I remember on the show that she did was going to work for Lionel on her anniversary, and it blew up in her face.

From:I loved this room. I want one. But, I'd probably rearrange the details more. I mean, how many time can you really watch the stick figure fall off the stick bridge? Or get slammed by large phallic cars into guardrails and then getting suddenly wet on impact, blacking out and then waking up with their lips on yours.... Alright. Starting to see the appeal here, but still. Stick figures. Apparently Lex is smart enough to hide the necessary photoshop manips with the whipped cream. To be honest? I think this room, while guarenteed to send Clark running for the hills and provide fodder for any attempt to ever prove Lex mentally incompetent, is a good idea in an evil overlord sort of way. How many times have you watched characters and wished that they would just put all the facts together in a big room and come to the obvious conclusion.
Oy. And after that target practice comment, that last sentence sounds very bad.
But! This entire room is just further proof of the Clex. Which is good. Lana is distancing herself from ever being Clark's girlfriend by admitting that
a. She'd never really trust Clark if he told her he was an alien.
b. She'd freak out if Clark told her he was an alien.
Martha is definately freaking out. Heck, I'd be freaking out. Alien spaceship that gets you pregnant? I've seen the movie and it doesn't generally end well. Second opinions from people who are not country bumpkin OBs can be good.
The first scene with Helen caught my attention. It's the first time I remember seeing her without her glasses, and WHOA! I thought people were exaggerating about the eye thing. Everybody's got some facial asymmetry, hers is a tad more pronounced, perhaps. I don't like making fun of actors, but this is just statement of fact, one of her eyes is disproportionally bigger than the other.
All in all, a more subtle episode than usual, and I liked it. Heh. Lex was "alienated" in high school. Heh. Simple amusement is good.

From:No doubt. Obviously, of course, the obsession is due to the frustrated hoyay. Once the gay sex commences, the obsession will find another outlet. Hopefully Clark's ass. :-)

Go forth and conquer! Mmm. Yum. Lex in jackboots. Ah, kink.

From:Please explain "the room" and creepy Lex in a new fic. I think Helen should have been looking for the pod Lex popped out of, because this 'Lex' isn't the Lex I am used to. I don't think I'd sleep with this Lex, no matter how much Daddy was paying me. *g*
Its called wait another season before making Lex evil and creepy, writers! Hello! I am so disappointed, but I loved your explanation, Jen, thanks for making my night a little better.

Obsessed Lex is hot. Read
I'm assuming he keeps Clark's filched boxers in a drawer, though. *grins*

Yeah, the writers are on crack. It's much easier to ignore them. *G* and *hug* Think of it this way. So far, every time I think this is The Worst Ep, a worse ep comes along and I get all nostalgic for the one before. So. We have five left. One WILL make us think this one is very, very sane.
That's--not comforting, is it? *G*
HoYay! HoYay!

Lex's obsession
From: (Anonymous) Date: 2003-04-16 07:53 am (UTC)And if Dr. Helen had a brain, she would have looked at the room and then packed her things and left.
Not because she doubted Lex's sanity, but because the room is proof that she will never never be as important to Lex as Clark is. Lex may like having Helen around (for whatever reason), but Clark is his obsession, and that room is Lex's altar to the most important thing in his life.
Personally my theory is that Lex is pursuing Helen because he needs to prove to himself and others that he can have a relationship, that he's not doomed to be alone. He doesn't want her so much as he wants what she symbolizes-- someone who believes in him.

Re: Lex's obsession
From:*grins* I'm just saying, logically, that's NOT evidence. That is eyecandy.
And if Dr. Helen had a brain, she would have looked at the room and then packed her things and left.

No joke. Even apart from the hoyay, she cannot compete with someone who has devoted a ROOM to his favorite past-time--Clark stalking.
Clark could almsot take lessons from him, though we have yet to see Lex using a telescope to watch Clark. Imagine what he could learn if he did.
Personally my theory is that Lex is pursuing Helen because he needs to prove to himself and others that he can have a relationship, that he's not doomed to be alone. He doesn't want her so much as he wants what she symbolizes-- someone who believes in him.
That makes perfect sense to me, and makes that entire relationship make sense. *nodnodnod* Absolutely
Plus? She has inside-Kent info. *grins*
