At the command of

nerodi(DAMMIT)…she asks, we answer:

What were your favorite SV episodes from Season Three?

Shattered, Asylum, Obsession, and Covenant take top honors. I loved the angst and the friendship combined. I love Lex not trusting Clark. I do love the seeds of the rift taking root, and it's not really anyone's fault in a finger-pointing way, IMO (which is a request to not fucking fight with me about it, m'kay?). I love Clark's BIG GRABBY HANDS (^TMme). I really liked most of S3, and I really liked it.

What were your least favorite SV episodes from Season Three?

Relic, despite the fact that we got Greaser!Clark and more background on the caves. We also discovered that Jonathan was born in 1961 or 1962, making him ridiculously young. And we got the beginnings of the Luthor murder mystery. Okay, I guess I actually liked Relic except for the part where I actually had to watch poor Lana doing a Gidget-goes-Suzy-Wong bit in dirndls, liquid liner and a horrid wig.

Velocity sucked. I'm sorry, Pete, but I never warmed up to you. I don't think it was your fault, entirely.

There were other eps that were basically dumb, but they all had their moments, and I think I found something in every ep to be excited about. It was that much more pleasurable because I expected to dislike many of them. And even though I thought some were idiotic at the time (Whisper, anyone?), the writers did a good job of bringing things full circle this season--at least compared to S2.

What were your top "gasp inducing" moments of Season Three?
- Phonebooth!Clark in Exile.
- Clark defying his parents to help Lex in Shattered.
- Lex realizing what Clark is, and the way he looks at him in Shattered.
- The sad/beautiful glimpse of cape in Hereafter.
- Pretty much any Lionel and Lex scenes.
- Ditto Lionel and Chloe scenes.
- The very Godfather revenge montage at the end of Covenant. That bastard is MAGNIFICENT, and we're not about to forget that in the next three months…

Try and explain how Tom Welling can be so insanely gorgeous.

I've explained this before. Weren't you paying attention? He's a sekrit malicious demon who saps my life force to make himself glow brighter, and in the process adds pounds to my ass and makes my skin dull. I hate him so much I'm back around to loving him again. And he owes me a shag.

What movies are you most excited for this summer? (Yes, I know it's not SV related, but I'm curious).

Um…I have no idea. I do want to see The Company, which is only finally making its way to Nashvegas, although I think it came out last fall. Whenever that Heath Ledger/Jake Gyllenhaal gay cowboy movie comes out, I'm going to see it twice. I'm in the hinterlands--nothing I want to see plays here when it comes out, so I'm basically waiting for last year's movies to show up on DVD on Netflix. I still want to se Party Monster, for chrissakes. What's supposed to be coming out?
