Rapid Reviews - Wednesday Night TV

Smallville [3-20]: Talisman: There were a few moments of shock in this one, but overall I felt like the story is moving forward nicely. I particularly like that Lana is letting go of her past. And I liked the bits with Clark too, I guess. It's hard to watch Clark when he doesn't know what's going to happen with Lex but we do. Then again, that's where part of the tension in the show comes from... Anyway, I mostly enjoyed it. 3 1/2 starfish

Angel [5-20]: The Girl In Question: This one was clearly going to be a romp from the first moments... and every single moment set in Italy was definitely rompy. The subplot with Wesley and Fred was a bit more serious and frightening, but it showed off the acting skills of Amy Acker. When Spike and Angel are working together, though, it's always fun. In short, an enjoyable little story. 3 1/2 starfish

Update: The Classifieds at the Smallville Ledger made me laugh aloud today. "SWIMMING LESSONS - We have a few more openings at our swim school at Crater Lake. Learn how to swim like a fish! Call Arthur at 555-0170."
