Squeeing away
6 November 2002 21:20So the other day arachne and Thermidor came round to my place to watch Season 2 Smallville vids, courtesy of Thermidor's other half who had sent them to her so that we poor, benighted Smallville-deprived slashers in the UK could revel in the slashiness that is CLex.
Arachne arrived bearing Cadbury's Flakes, which I promptly moved to put in the fridge. 'Good move,' sez Arachne, 'Cos we need the Flakes to be hard when we're watching Lex!' ::choke::
We started off with 'Heat'. It's been a while since I've seen episodes of a slashy series in the company of other fans, especially on a first viewing basis and I'd forgotten how much sheer fun it is.
We marvelled at the brevity of Mrs Luthor-to-be's dress - 'There's no way she'd be allowed to teach wearing that'. We giggled when Clark felt puberty stirring and set the room on fire - suggestive, much! We groaned at Clark's look of total disappointment when Lex ignored him in favour of Desiree. We choked at Clark and the scarecrow and squirmed at Jonathon trying to persuade Clark to, um, ejaculate. Chloe's line about Clark being immune to Desiree's charms had us squeeing. As for the Flaming Lex scene... ::grin:: But yeah, the episode was one big sex-fest and a hoot to boot. Sheer fun.
We then skipped straight to 'Red', the allure of Bad Clark proving irresistible. Now, I'd read all the spoilers, so knew something of what to expect, but for Thermidor and arachne it was, um, virgin territory ::grin::
Their reaction to Clark's, "Clark Kent and Lex Luthor. I like the sound of that." was just classic. Cue squealing, snorting, shrieks of, 'It's slash on a plate!' and general all round hilarity.
As for Clark. Yum. Really liked the $2,000 coat and loved the suit. Giggled like mad at the leather jacket and the sunglasses - yep, it's true what others have said, even when trying to act cool Clark's still a dork at heart.
But oh, later on he became seriously mean and actually rather scary. Which was also very sexy, in a 'I love a good villain' type of way. As others have said before me, and rather better too, Clark has so much power that should be choose to use it for his own ends he would be almost unstoppable. Shiver.
In fact, in that scenario the only person I can think of who would be both clever enough and ruthless enough to stop him is Future Lex. Makes some of the FutureFic look rather prescient.
As for the Episode Where Pete Finds Out (am too lazy to go look up it's name), it had it's good points (and that touch of Lionel's was Bad, Bad, Bad) but paled somewhat in comparison to the squeefests that were 'Heat' and 'Red'.
But such great fun. Can't wait for the next tape.
