Tommy's birthday

[bop_radar]

Today is Tom Welling's thirtieth birthday. If Tom can come to terms with being thirty, I'm sure I can manage it in eight months time... yup, born in the same year--we've got soooo much in common! Um, nope. That's it. :-p

In honour of Tommy's birthday, I was going to post my favourite Tom pic (as many of my friends are doing), but I couldn't decide on one. So I'm calling on you all to help me out.

Thank you for your help! If you feel I have clearly overlooked the ultimate Tom shot, by all means feel free to post it! *beams*

Hee, I noticed that from the pics, how they're constantly dressing him in blue and red. Awww, now I get it! Superman, right? Subtle! ;)

I saved this drinking game list in a handy word file. If productivity goes down around here, it's your fault. :P

Smallville is ANYTHING but subtle! There are so many more I could add to that drinking game... but I'm sure you'll come up with your own!

(You're going to kill me for pimping you into SV, I know it... eeep! hopefully in a good way!)

Seems like great fun. Anyway all the regular shows will end soon, and there'll be less to watch. And our house does NOT decide to watch less TV even so, so this will be a very welcome diversion!

Hey, I’m back to report that I watched the pilot tonight, yay! (And more is on the screen right now.) I actually remember seeing it when it first came out, but I’d forgotten so much, such as:

Young Lex’s pre-asteroid hair, all bright red and poofy, like he’s some missing asthmatic member of the Weasley family! I laughed soo hard at that. Man, that disaster seriously did him--and us--a favor. Mmm, growed-up bald Lex. Bad boy fencer, drives while using cellphones. Wears leather driving gloves. Drives an aggressive stick-shift. Vrrooom!

Also, I remembered the thing about Lana’s necklace. But it’s so awesome that she has Clark-crippling kryptonite powers and boobies to make him go all woobily. He doesn’t stand a chance. Then later, when she’s visiting her parents’ grave, this is so classic: “I’m hangin’ out in a graveyard. Does this strike you as okay behavior?” BWAH! Oh, Clark. You feel so awkward! Like you’re from another planet! Except, you are! Oh, adolescence. Sometimes it almost makes you want to put your arm in a woodchipper.

Lana: “Dad wants to know if you’re upset about a guy…” Clark: “NO! No.” I’m not thinking about how my first open-mouth experience ever was with Lex…NO! Not at all! Haha!

Plus the Angel/wings symbolism in the cemetary! Eee. I love watching this show. Thanks for getting me into it, it’s so fun.

Especially with the drinking games. *hic*

Didn't it?! :-) It's also popular fanon that he lost all his body hair in the accident, though everyone handwaves the eyebrows and eyelashes.

Oh, adolescence. Sometimes it almost makes you want to put your arm in a woodchipper.
Hee!! Yeah, he's so terribly deeply angsty! And you've seen the pick-up truck with bow and card? :-) So cute!

Lana: “Dad wants to know if you’re upset about a guy…
I'd forgotten that one! Yeah, that's right... hee!

the Angel/wings symbolism in the cemetary!
Yes! That was gorgeous, wasn't it? The cinematography and symbolism gets even better over time, but I'm still very fond of that moment.

My favourite moment from the pilot is still when Lex throws the sword and Clark just watches it quiver with that nervous wide-eyed expression! *giggles*

That made me snort-laugh very loudly out of my nose!

(Although, I myself am glad he has eyelashes. So fluttery and purty. Fanon can go ahead and imagine away the rest of his hair.)

OMG, how could I have failed to mention that! You're right, that was perfect. Lex is so aggressive and phallic-y there...also suggested that he sleeps with his fencing partner too. Lex is burgeoning with the promise of impalement right and left! Hahaha.

Well, this weekend I'm on my own basically, so I'll probably watch the rest of the next disk soon. Look what you've created. :D

I was also quite pleased by the second episode's Roman crucifixion and Trojan War classical references by Lex. He is far and away my favorite character so far.

Hmm must get Lex icons.

I'm not joking! There have been polls on this matter! And yes, I too am very happy that he has those eyelashes.

Lex is so aggressive and phallic-y there...also suggested that he sleeps with his fencing partner too.
Yeah, totally! It's pretty full on that he emasculates the future Superman in the early days of their relationship!! But he totally does. He's got control of all the phallic symbols--the cars, the swords, the water bottles... ohhh, ohh, and the apple! Have you had the apple crunch yet? You must have, I think. Biting into Clark's apple of tempation. Hee!

Yes, isn't he fun?! :-) That goes from strength to strength, fear not! He's such a flirt too!

When you've seen a little more, I recommend rivkat's I Know Things Now (http://www.rivkat.com/vids.html) vid. I recommend all her vids but the rest are majorly emotionally spoilery for later seasons.
