Where in “Smallville” Is Lois Lane?

2009-11-24T22:37:32Z

--And no, them's NOT fightin' words, okay? LOL. I LOVE the Lois Lane character, eternally. Which is why I'm a bit anxious here . . .

A concern that I've had all this time about Lois in SV is that.....in the show, she kind of feels like an "incomplete" character, for lack of a better word. I mean, all the other characters, and their interactions with each other, and their development, have progressed and developed over time and with consistent interaction...

I think someone else in this thread mentioned something about how Lois has a purpose in the show but not necessarily in the episode? That goes directly into my fears for this character; she seems to be made out to be a.... I don't know, reactionary character, as opposed to action, like the plot happens and then Lois is thrown in to either, I don't know, react to something, get in the way, somehow alter circumstances, etc. She always seems to serve a secondary purpose, as opposed to primary.

I mean, nothing seems to really be about her, even in the supposedly Lois-centric episodes, like with Lucy, or her university...it stills follows the method I just outlined, like even in her "own" storylines, she's just a sattelite; even if she's having a character-centered speech of self-realization or confession (i.e. post-Lucy, post-breakup with Ollie), you get a glimpse of how Lois might really feel behind her character shell (Thank you, Erica Durance!;D *love that woman*), its too little, not enough.

I guess I just don't get a sense of Lois as a complete character because she doesn't have a past, a history, like all the other cast members do in SV-terms. Even Ollie -- and even Tess! -- were presented and inserted into the SV world very methodically and purposefully, with an understanding of how they fit into the current SV world from the point of view of who they are now and where they're coming from as characters. Not so for Lois Lane.

And I'm becoming afraid that simply showing childhood scenes of Lois in an episode and tying it to said episode's plot, etc., won't help anymore. Ollie's had that, the childhood scenes, and even Tess, though her character's stand in the SV character matrix is not the hero's circle, had her backstory, the "where she's coming from", very carefully laid out, relevantly to the other main characters and to the plots, mini or overarching, in the show. So when those characters are not in an episode, you still have a sense of where they are in the SV world, their place in the stories going on, and the power they have as characters to alter or affect said stories.

I'm afraid that the Lois Lane character on SV doesn't have that power, or affect. If she's not in an episode, or episodes go on without her and when she's back in the next episode, I wonder, "what the heck? Where was Lois and what did they have her doing?" I don't feel that she's being portrayed as centrally as she deserves to be.....and frankly, she's been on the show, and quite infrequently early on, for over 4 years, the 5th year now. She was not methodically and purposefully inserted into SV (especially after her first few episodes; I think the creators kinda missed the boat on that one, they could've done so after her first launch), and when she's there, its very...light, almost superficial. Unless she's having a character "moment", but then her status quo is immediately reset afterwards, whether in that episode or in the next.

Sure, lately we're getting more of her, in screentime, in plots, in relation to Clark and the penultimate CLois, but its still things that, in simplest terms, happened to her - not necessarily where she happened to them. Does that make any sense? Am I alone in thinking all these things? Anyway... *sigh* I hope that the show can salvage this, but its going to take time at the very least, and that time is what I'm worried about too, that the show won't be on long enough to fix anything (networks and studios are so flighty).

P.S. Sorry for the long rambly ranty thing, didn't expect to write this much. *grimace*

[EDIT] So Wikipedia tells me that a huge part of my worries as outlined above.......is DC's fault. *@#%#$^@#$@#%^@#$%@#%*

~~~~CAN'T WAIT FOR FRIDAY~~~~~

Smallville 9x09: "Pandora" - Preview clip

Smallville 9x09: "Pandora" - CLois excerpt

I'm SERIOUSLY about to burst---!!!!!!!!!!! *fangirlSQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* Its almost everything I'd suspected about Lois' 3-week disappearance, and future!Clark's CLois-y behaviour/feelings are perfectly understandable all things considered, its like an alternate timeline from the end of last season.... ;DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[EDIT: post-episode:] HOLY FREAKING COW. Somehow the episode was....better than I'd anticipated?! (And I'd anticipated PLENTY this week, trust me.)

Still reeling from the getting-answers-to-the-mysteries-10-plus-episodes-in-the-making-ness of it all, too dazzled to eke out anything beyond two thoughts:

1. CLOIS = HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Omg. Like, the conclusion of the episode, the scene with Lois and Clark at the DP was like ... I dunno, balm to my shipper's soul; I was really, really content with it, like the angst I was feeling before was washed away. /dramatics .........Oh, and the handholding rocked my world, strangely even moreso than the skin-on-skin (though that came in a VERYCLOSE second. *cough*)

2. .............................................I did NOT see that KalEl-Kandorians ending coming. At. All. Whoooooooa.

.
.
.

WAIT I got one more: 3. ....there's a couple things I could still squick with, with the episode editing, some character reactions - but those are super-minor in comparison to the confusion I have over that Alia-Kandorian still having her powers when the sun changed back.....or, yeah! hello, when she came back into the past? Anyway.

smallville - latest episode "idol" - mini rant & defending my "fanhood" [edited + xposted]

2009-11-15T07:03:13Z

[Edit: Nov.18/09] So... I'm posting two posts I made over at a couple Smallville forums I recently joined.... both are related to last week's episode "Idol", but I got two drastically different reactions from them. I mean, they didn't really like the first one, but one place was way nicer about it (& with only 1 comment) while the other.........ohlord. *laughs* I mean, all I threatened was to not feed the man soup! Oyvey! Yeah, the other place H.A.T.E.D. it, and I'm still paying for these posts, apparently, since my status (called "karma") at that board is still in the negatives.....

Anyway, it used to bother me, a lot, but now I'm entering the amused stage. So, for my (& maybe others'?) amusement, here are the two posts...and a toast to the first time I've ever pissed off an online community.

This episode.... sent me to both the heights of happiness (the middle), and the pits of rage and despair (the END@#$@#$@#$). Like, 99% rage and 1% despair.

...............................FGS. I mean, it was so freaking PERFECT. You know?! Okay, getting past the fact that its practically HERESY that Lois should fall for Clark first, she was in the most perfect, most faultless and nearly utopian place for Clark to finally come clean and CLois to truly begin, right? But -- once again -- Clark chose to lie to her, I even saw that moment, that facial expression, where he chose to lie to her........but I won't begin my rant on how SV-Clark has been missing/avoiding/burning down the CLois boat since freaking season 8 [officially] to avoid excessive use of profanity. Oyvey.

--Oh! Oh! And he had help last minute, lucky bas--bucket, in preserving the secret ID - the twins, I can forgive, I saw that save coming 4 commercials away, but.........................CHLOE. OH, CHLOE. I've honestly never shared in any of the fan-hate I've seen based on her past actions, not even the Davis stuff (though it made me disappointed and sorry) --- but WHAT SHE SAID. Ohhhh what she SAID. That ONE statement from her, about Lois? That's it. The first time I've ever outright hated the character.

*deep sigh*

(Yeah okay, that's it. I've got other rants on the backburner related to these, but my rage is temporarily spent, hehe. Hope I didn't scare anyone~~~ *cheerful wave*)

[EDIT] ....Aaaand, no, the prologue and epilogue Clois scenes of this- this- travesty were not enough to mollify me ------- they were 100 triple chocolate fudge cakes and year-round Halloween, but no, not mollification. Faaaaaar from it.

Y'know why? I'll tell you! Yeah, I'll dare! 'Cause -------- deep down inside --------- I don't believe SV-Clark really is in love/lust/infatuation/CLoisness-of-any-meaningful-kind with SV-Lois.

THERE. I'VE SAID IT. OOOOOOOOOH SNAP!, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
.
.
.
IN FACT, I SHALL GO FURTHER.

FROM NOW ON, [person-I-will-refer-henceforth-as-SubjectTW], IF I DON'T BELIEVE THE wuv!CLOIS ON YOUR PART[cuz subjectED is nearly SV-flawless in my eyes], then no soup for you.

THERE. I've thrown down the gauntlet.

(((GOD I miss the movies. *flounces off to watch some classic Chris Reeves [minus the Lanaland movie - even if it was Annette O'Toole]*)))

--Oh lord I can't believe I'm doing this, but I suppose there's no beating around the bush, I'm writing a "defend myself" post. |.......| Looking back on what I said and HOW I said it.....I wince, big-time.....but I defend it, because at the time that I wrote it (after the episode aired, and over at my LJ - I crossposted here), it was genuinely how I felt.

I guess I shouldn't feel like I should have to defend my "fanhood" so to speak, but [I got major flack from other members]. Anyway, I thought I'd write out a few points about myself as a fan of the Supes, and Smallville. Maybe they'll clarify?

1. I am a Lois Lane fan first, Clark/CLois fan second.

2. I am a Supes fan from Chris Reeves forward; the first movies, and the comics, really stuck with me from childhood...

3. ...which continued into my teens when I discovered "shipping"; in this fandom, CLois is my OTP.

4. I am also a Smallville fan. Granted, I didn't watch it way back in the beginning when it first aired (because a] Lex Luther was in Smallville {wth}, b] who is Chloe? and c] Where Is Lois? WHAT is this..."Clana"?????), but I got back into superhero/comic book stuff in recent years and decided to give Smallville a second chance; since there were 8 seasons behind me at that point (LOL) I decided to just watch from whenever Lois showed up (though I made sure to watch the pilot, the season 3 finale....oh! And the episode with Perry White. [Guess what show I'm a fan of? Hint: starts with LnC. :]). Dude, I finished nearly 4 seasons from late-August to September - and that's saying something since I also attend university full-time. So yes, I am a Smallville fan now; in fact, even before Supernatural/Bones/House, my TV holy trinity, I watch Smallville first.

5. Most of the things I complained about has roots in feelings/opinions I have about past episodes/character plots & events, and they coloured that rant I made. . . literally, it was what I felt at the moment I typed it.

.....You know, the biggest fuel is probably frustration. I'm a frustrated CLois fan, despite my usual equanimity. I mean, logistically speaking, there were 4 years of Lois on the show, and STILL there was the CLana. I've slowly started watching the first three seasons to complete my picture of character backgrounds and history, and. . . .it just really bugs me that there was ultimately 8 years of CLana, even though Lois was there in the second half of those years. Maybe I just want CLois to happen so badly, yet with the full justice it deserves, when I should just keep watching and keep faith in what the PTB have in store. Then there's my dissatisfaction with how CLana ended (inconclusively! argh.), and the fear I have that they're rushing CLois. Then there's the fact that I completely love ED-Lois, and ED for what she does for the character --- I kinda feel like she rounds out and fleshes out everything we might know or expect from Lois Lane as a character, and yet still pleasantly surprise us with some of the interpretations she puts out there. And I believe her half of CLois, it is practically flawless.....and therefore, I keep waiting for SV-Clark to match it, I guess. Not that I dislike TW-Clark, or TW for that matter, quite the opposite! I know there's some live-action series out there called "Adventures of Superboy" or something, but honestly, after watching TW and Smallville, I have no idea how anyone else can imagine a Supes-beginnings story, and execute it to the high standard and....well, almost "canon"-ness.....that we've seen here. *shrug* Also, my RL friend who fans Smallville along with me, says that, Dean Cain notwithstanding (hey! he was one of my first TV crushes!), I should stop comparing every Superman actor to Christopher Reeves. But I can't help it! He's too awesome, I heart him so much...

...Anyway. You don't have to care what I think, but I thought I'd get how I feel about Smallville out there.

Oh -- and as a CLois fan? There's no WAY I'm immune to Idol, and ESPECIALLY it's ending scenes. GO LOIS! ♥♥♥ That scene was so freaking adorable....... especially the glasses thing.... ED is seriously racking up the awesome points. I just reallyreallyreally wanted them to to get together, it seemed to come together so perfectly --- only to go back somewhat to status quo pre-Idol. Argh. *lol*

Abdul could shift to So You Think You Can Dance as Idol mulls replacements

2009-07-26T18:13:46Z

The ongoing saga of the fate of one Ms. Paula Abdul continues. She is still without a contract for the new season of American Idol. Word has it it's a money thing -- who knew?!

Now someone has been talking around about her because executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has said that he would absolutely consider Abdul for a judging role on So You Think You Can Dance. As a successful choreographer and a known commodity, that would probably help the profile of that show tremendously as it moves to a fall season for the first time.

Comic-Con '09: Quint rocks out to the IRON MAN 2 footage! Scarlett! Rhodey! WAR MACHINE!!! -- Ain't

2009-07-26T02:48:48Z

[from AintItCoolNews:]

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here to give you the full rundown of the IRON MAN 2 panel at Comic-Con!

Footage description: Kevin Feige is brought out. Keep the tone. Brought out Favreau. Footage first. Looks like a shitty DVD extra, something a step above what Kenny Powers put together to show off his arm for baseball talent scouts. Just some greenscreen stuff. Downey comes out. “Fuck that! What was that? Unadulterated garbage. You showed me better stuff in the editing room!”

Feige tryies to step in. “No, no this is bullshit!” The crowd is cheering, knowing what’s coming. Turns out that Favreau is a little distracted. It’s his son Max’s 8th birthday… Downey leads audience in Happy Birthday, singing like an Italian waiter, ending with him saying “You better show some real footage.”

( And so he did. )
