Okay, so Thursday night is Smallville night. That's what we watch no
matter who is coming over to Jake's place. So Jake doesn't even like
the show, right? So he totally invites over all his football buddies
all the time. And like, the only reason they are even there is
because they want to watch My Name is Earl. Which is fine, because
that guy is totally cute. Even with the mustache.
So I'm watching Smallville right? Well at least most of it. I missed
the first part because Jake and his bra Tippen were totally being
retarded. But I think I got the gist of it. No matter what Jake and
Tippen were yammering on about, I totally focused when I saw Chloe has
slit her wrists! I was all WHAAAAA?
Here's the set up. Chloe starts freaking out because there's a ghost
hidden in her wall. That's the whole plot and it was like the Grudge
or something. Except instead of that little girl with the stringy
hair, the ghost was that Faith chick from Buffy. So Chloe is freaking
out and no one believes her. Everyone is totally concerned because
apparently Chloe's mom is a nutjob. For a second they kind of implied
that her mom killed herself, but then it turns out she's just really
quiet. Which I am not even sure if that means you are mentally ill or
not.
So Clark ends up having to break Chloe out of the hospital? uh, that
happens because Lana gets all uppity (AGAIN?!?) and goes to Lex for
help. Lex promises to send Chloe to Bell Reeve, which is the loony
bin that was promoted heavily in earlier seasons. Which, to me, it
would totally be worth it to go there. Most of the time it's like a
super-villain factory. How bad ass would I be as Miss America with
like super-strength and run fast like a cheetah. HA! I could take
Jake's place on the team, and be all "get me some water, bra!" HA!
So let me interject something here. For all of the Smallville fans
out there who go on and on about Lex. Let's clear the air here. Lex
is gross. I once read a comic where he strangled Lois Lane right in
front of Superman. So consider me off the Lex is the best part about
this show bandwagon. Lex is gross. You should remember that.
So after Clark breaks out Chloe, she flips out again and tells Clark
to use his X-Ray vision on the bathroom wall. Where he sees the
ghost! Clark immediately spazzes in only the way he can Spaz and
Super-spazzes right through the wall revealing the corpse. But oh no
she has a Kryptonite bracelet on. So Clark flees like she was wearing
Gouchos. Chloe then touches the bracelet. And who wouldn't in that
situation, right? Ooooh there's a ghost in the wall and I'm going to
touch that bracelet! At this point Chloe gets possessed by the ghost
which leads her on a journey of self-discovery which is really all
about getting revenge against the ugly dude who killed her.
Now I am not trying to be picky, but the use of Kryptonite in this
episode generally irritated me. First Clark isn't effected by it when
it's hidden behind a plaster wall. A PLASTER WALL! Okay so you could
possibly make the argument that they had used lead based paint and
Clark was shielded from the Kryptonite's harmful radiation, but that
periwinkle color in that bathroom was obviously put there by Lana,
which was just like 3 years ago or something. So I doubt it was lead
based. But then get this, at the end Clark rushes in to save Lois and
Chloe and he doesn't get very far because of that same Kryptonite
bracelet, right? So when Ghost-Possessed Chloe eventually touches the
bracelet to the bad guy's gross neck which makes him Ghost Possessed.
After all is said and done, Clark just gets off the ground and starts
chatting it up with Lois and Chloe. Ugh. So somehow the ghost
de-powered the Kryptonite? Because Clark is acting like it's not
weakening him or anything. RE. TARD. ED.
So it was another filler episode. Nothing great, but I do think it's
funny that Clark didn't do much besides tear down a wall. He doesn't
even save anyone at the end. But he's still so pretty. Bye!
