least favorite ep?
Heh. I'm hurting for Chloe and Gabe, and Iceman!Lex makes me nervous, but I tentatively liked this episode. Except for the Ray-Bans, which were awful. I was interested to see that my dear ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rhiannonhero says that this replaces Kinetic as her all-time lamest ep, and I'm surprised--not that she thinks this was a lame ep (because I can see that interpretation pretty easily), but that she thought Kinetic was that bad. I can't say it was a favorite of mine, but at least Kinetic had all kinds of team-spirited homoeroticism (Whitney getting poked while a bunch of guys stand around him breathing heavily? Admittedly, it was with a tattooing needle, but it was still penetration) and then Lex and Clark saving each other. So, at least for me, Kinetic wasn't all that bad.
My all-time lamest ep would have to be Skinwalker. Even though the episode introduced the Kawatche caves, which have since turned out to be not as pointless and stupid as I had feared, and even though someone (other than Lex) realizes that Clark is a hottie and jumps on him, the rest of it was useless and senseless. The generic Native American shamanic flute twitterings. The apparently thin, fragile crust of dirt covering the caves, which no one had noticed when they were planning to build a business park on the land. The gaping logic hole between a dog jumping through a window and Clark subsequently being found in the woods holding the disemboweled corpse of a naked girl? The names of the legendary friends/enemies, which I can't help thinking of as (Bob) Sagat and Newman from Seinfeld. However, the girl was very pretty, and her jewelry was very dramatic and lovely, even if she couldn't act at all.
Or maybe it was Dichotic. No--I already wrote Skinwalker up, so I'm going to stick with it for the moment. Anyone care to share the which and why of your least favorite ep of Smallville?

But the bigeest WTF part of the entire series was the spaceship missing for months in a cornfield. I still want to know what the writers were smoking on that one.
BTW, HI!!!

Beegirl...beegirl...Drone! I actually liked that one, even though it was probably the most comic-book-like episode. Stereotypes, improbabilities, and a Lesson Learned by Clark (so that he'll eventually stand for Truth, Justice and the American Way...except only if it includes gay marriage, I'm guessing).
The cornfield thing was baffling. Do they not ever harvest the corn there? Or do they only grow it to provide cover for their dirty meteor secrets?
