I finally got to watch Smallville thanks to hubby-Eric's careful taping of the last episode for me. I kind of wish I'd watched the tape of Smallville instead of watching Birds of Prey last night, actually... Anyway, here's the verdict:
Birds of Prey: Split: Anytime I can figure out the entire plot within the first ten minutes of an hour show, you know the show is going to suck. And this one did. Badly. Bleh. 1 starfish.
Smallville: Dichotic: Now this is television. Mindless entertainment, well-scripted and acted. Smallville is better than most other shows on TV right now, despite being little more than a high-school angst drama with superpowers thrown in. This episode was fun, with the whole double-trouble thing going on. Thing is, only one of the Ians died... there's half a man out there who will be gunning for Clark. 4 starfish.
Incidently, if you are watching Smallville but not reading The Smallville Ledger and The Smallville Torch, you are missing out. Both on-line newsrags are short, fun, and add a lot to the whole Smallville mythos. I particularly like the "Ezra Small" story that ran in a few issues of the Ledger recently (and is available in the archives). This may not be the first case of a show being seriously enhanced by supporting websites, but it's definitely the best example of it I've seen.
