Smallville - Absolute Justice

I've been twittering. And, I enjoy it. But I've finally watched Absolute Justice and I have more to say than just 140 characters.*

I firmly believe that just like dog and cat, there are two types of people in this world. There are the Batman people, and the Superman people. I won't describe the differences. You know who you are. I, am a Superman person. Through and through, and I must say that over the years, I have been deeply disappointed with the way that Man of Steel is treated. Paul Dini, you should be a little ashamed. I know you're a Batman person. It's fine. He's a wonderful character, but COME ON! I mean really, come on. You had him in pain over bullets in a few episodes. What is that?

Sorry. I have anger.

Getting on...

I watched the first season of Smallville and then caught a few episodes here and there. Most honestly because I love the character and damn, Tom Welling is hot. Unfortunately, the acting was pitiful and the writing was, well, I'll leave that alone.

And, Lana. It wasn't the most pleasant time I've spent on the couch.

But now it seems, that's all over. Geoff John's did a great job. I can say I'm not ashamed to do a little ass kissing and bestow some praise for the lucky fan who lived the dream, grew up and wrote something for live-action properly. For serious. Thank you.

Here are some things that I LOVED:

The allusion to Canary via Ollie's emails

Loved the choice of golden age characters in the mix

Shiera and the reincarnation part - smile

Lex Corps on a building in the scene

Kill Bill callback in Dr. Fate's speech

Lois' assonence, "honest to goodness spandex-sporting superheros," and how quippy she was during her first appearance on camera. And her slethy-ness. Actually, Erica Durance, thanks. You make a good Lois.

Great costuming

LOVED LOVED LOVED the cape in Fate's vision.

Was he supposed to be Dr. Emil Hamilton because good job!

If you ever auction off the JSA table, let me know.

For one fluttering moment, I thought about what it would be like to be on a sex tape with Green Arrow and Kal and how little I would mind it getting out.

Whoops, thought about it again.

Dope mace for Hawkman.

I like Green Arrow on the show. It's almost as if Batman were there but you know, a nicer version.

Is Tess Mercer supposed to be Mercy?

I have to give you some criticism, if only to keep anyone's head from getting too big:

Hawks don't fly like that.

Icicle was lame and played the role a bit...I'll keep that one to myself.

I know she's your girl, and I liked her in the JLU cartoon, but in this, I did not care for Star Girl. I assume it was the actress and the hideous fight scenes.

Why oh why is Lex dead? I like him and Michael Rosenblum is the mans. Especially as Flash. He could don a red wig and play him. What do we think?

Pam Grier is too hot to be Amanda Waller. Her hair needs to be shorter and she needs to be fat. Sexy women like that aren't mean. They don't need to be. A young person would be handling her sh*t right now. Trust me.

I do like that she's courting Lois though.

I don't really get the Chloe character. She's like a Lois but not - and though I recently heard about the Chlois movement, I'm not sure what that is. I do however, think she'll probably be Dr. Fate. Right now, she more like Oracle.

Overall, I have a feeling of retribution from this episode. If anyone ever puts Tom Welling in a Superman costume, I think you'd have close to a billion happy women on this planet. Just an FYI.

*The funny side-note is twitter opened my eyes to the possibility that someone else might want to read when I feel the need to geek the eff out. So enjoy.
