But it amused me greatly, and so did Maxima. She was awesome! Completely melodramatic and ridiculous, but in the best of ways: and smokin' hot.
I loved her, too. I didn't expect to just based on the trailer and the director's cut, but I thought the actress brought a surprising vulnerability to her and some nice layers (I loved her apologizing to Jimmy and the hurt in her eyes when she realized Clark was banishing her really got to me).
ITA with everything you've said about Clark. Tom's just blowing me away this season. Not just how gorgeous he is, but the dignity and strength he's bringing to the character. He feels Supermanly to me, already, in the best possible way.
I'm loving Tess/Mercy! I feel like she's really settled in now and I'm enjoying the actress's performance a lot. I'm far more comfortable than I was at first with her echoing Lex--and wow, she really does echo him very directly. She was totally Lexian in the opening scene with the scientist.
Tess is what Lex's fangirl should have been like in that episode where Jonathan almost got assassinated. Loyal, devoted, and utterly ruthless and smart.
Also, I'm loving that Tess has as much sexual chemistry with women as Lex did with men.
*nod* I really do wonder if they're not just going to go there eventually and reveal that she's either lesbian or bi-sexual (I'd love either, but I suppose that the show writers would think it had to be the latter because of her canonical past with Oliver). Because it's almost text at this point. Even Clark commented on it in a roundabout way.
Still finding Chloe obnoxious and Chimmy icky. It's such a sad relationship now! I was so not on board with them dredging up that old letter of Chloe's.
What most bugged me about it was that Chloe showed Clark the letter even as she was going on about how she's changed and moved on and Jimmy's her perfect love or whatever. It was just so passive-aggressive, like she's still trying to test if Clark feels anything for her even as she's forging full-steam ahead with marrying Jimmy. It was distasteful.
I do have to nitpick this one: Chloe, don't you still have a dad?
Why is it so hard for them to write one line of dialog explaining where Gabe Sullivan is?
