Rapid Reviews - 3 March 2004 - Television

Smallville: Crisis [3-16]: Ok... let me get this right. Adam had a rare liver disease. The kid in the last episode had a rare liver disease. And (spoiler)Lionel(spoiler) has it too. Which led to the cliff-hanger ending. Wow. That last image is what is going to stick with me. Yeah, the rest of the show was ok. But it was that last image that will haunt until the next episode in mid-April.

Angel: Shells: Wesley's insanity is frightening to see. He rampages through this episode like a pitbull at a paperboy convention. He's scary in ways you don't expect, because of his mild-mannered style. What he does to Knox and Gunn! It ends quietly, but you wonder what will happen as the show progresses. This one was a "wow" one for me.

To review this week: Plastic Man, Akiko, Birthright, Justice League Adventures, Thor, and Supreme Power. And maybe a couple others, who knows?
