Smallville/SPN Questions

[lettered]

So, I don't normally watch these shows, but people on my flist talk about them, and for once I was free on a Thursday evening, so I thought, hell, why not. So I watched them, but because I don't know all the history and stuff, I had a couple questions about them.


So . . . Lex was gay with a love/hate complex ever since he was a wee little thing?

and


Is the theme of this show always incestuous brothers?

Oh, yeah. And: I like Lois too--you said you liked her? Still don't like Lana. Lois was so . . . Lois. I hate Loises that aren't Lois.

And I think Clark/Lex people are still very much around. Charged relationship like that, with the jealousy/resentment/grudging respect, not to mention the tragic dramatic irony of its history vs. future--oh, yeah.

Frankly, that's what most interests me about this show.

Smallville Lois is awesome. She's so much coller than Superman Returns Lois (spunk?! Where the hell was her spunk!?)

Lana will forever irk me. She's always the damn victim and makes those annoying faces. No. Even if she saved a child from a burning building while wearing high heels and one arm was mutilated, I would not like her.

The Clark/Lex dynamic was one of the strongest aspects of the show in the beginning - how the friendship fell apart. Now, the focus has shifted to them embracing their destinies.
