From le WB.com:



Also? Lesbians. I guarantee Howard Stern will be talking about it tomorrow.

AAARGH! The stupid is overpowering! This episode feels like Paul Verhoeven crapping in my brain!

Seriously, this ep reached Trolls 2 levels of stupid. They might as well change Smallville's name to Nilbog.

Even Chloe grated because of the incredibly poor storytelling and writing. The only remotely redeeming qualities were Lex and Spikiac.

...okay, Lana falling down and breaking her neck was pretty sweet. But even that can't redeem this terrible episode.

I'd write even more about this, but I have to go lie down. I'm suffering eyeliner poisoning from just watching Lana.

Or it might just be the concussion from being hit by more anvils than a Warner Brothers cartoon.

Very good episode. Seemed a bit rushed for the Halloween theme but good nonetheless.

One thing though. It seemed JM was going just a bit overboard with his accent when he was playing pool talking to Lex.

"Slaying Buffy the Vampire"? Awesome.

Definitely better than I thought it would be. It seems like the writers took TWoP's snark and put it into Lana's lines when she was a vampire.

All the Buffy references were great. James Marsters spearing a Luthercorp security guard? Priceless.

What is it with this show and giant needles to the heart?
Draclana was disturbing on so many levels.
And yay! for continuity, workers were fixing Lex's window that Lana broke earlier on.
My love for Chloe grows. I loved the ending and her narrating throughout.

Best. Ending. Evah! The awesome Chlois-y ending almost made up for the stomach-churningly awful vampire plot.

Must process wonderful Chloeness before continuing.

So, I guess Lana's lucky that the family of the girl she killed decided not to press charges, or that nobody at all seemed to care that she died.

Also, not only is it not libel if it's true, it's also not libel if it's spoken aloud. Professor Spike should look over a dictionary some time. Also, he needs to decide what he's teaching.

Chloe: Damn you TPTB, that this episode was not just Chloe-centric-ish but also was all about her voice over meant I couldn't completely hate it and I was really expecting to hate this one. She was just so happy and perky and optimistic, she should have had more such episodes. And they have X-Files wording. And she's a BtVS fan so that's always a plus. That being said, I'm tired of people forgetting Chloe put Lionel in prison, Kahn should have mentioned that. And from that little bit of Bittleman, I want more. A lot more. "You better get over here..."*woosh*- Chlark is awesome. And give her credit, the costume wasn't just hot but it was practical as well. I'm glad that Kahn talked about how they couldn't print the vampire story but it was all researched and everything.

Clark: Wow, their relationship is so great when Lana and Clark are both ogling others. During the Clana biting scene, was anyone else thinking about how tepid it really was? Imagine if it was Chloe or Alicia in the Lana role. Clark being bitten made sense (kind of, I'm not sure the rules)when he was near Kryptonite but it should have healed when he was away from it. Was that Kryptonite in the syringe?

Vampires and The Like: Regarding the hottub scene, ladies, now you know why guys say no teeth. I was disappointed we saw no Rush Week stuff, who wouldn't want to see Lana with shaving cream and a sheep? But seriously, we should have learned why of all the stupid girls to choose, they chose Lana. She seemed about as enthusiastic being chosen as when buying bread.

"We're tri-sighs; the hottest vampires ever." I've seen porn with better acting and dialogue. Or the same. I get confused. Though sunlight only a minor inconveneince to them and crosses don't do anything but they can morph. What exactly is their deal? Oh and invulnerability and immortality are two different things.

Flex: HoWhoopee!!! "Why would a man of your stature be so concerned with the comings and goings of a freshman farm boy." I wonder what Lex's research on Fine said. "That professor came from black oil emerging from your space ship." "Damn, if only we had something on him."And though the deaath scene was a rip from T2, that was still pretty cool. At least Project 1138 wasn't entirely Lex's fault since it was before he even came to Smallville. Unfortunately, Lex is still super in love with Lana, he wasn't even going to help Chloe was he?!

Lana: How many people is this bitch going to kill? Buffy wasn't even a genuine vampire, she was a person with a disease that could be cured. See, we told you Lana was narcissitic; she eyejaculates from own visage. And Action!Lana in Lex's mansion was really silly, I'm sorry to say.

Unfortunately, the ending was just about as quick as "And the kids were rescued by, let's say, Moe."

Little Trivia Nerd Thing: Lex Project 1138. THX-1138: the George Lucas movie. And this was the episode with Carrie Fisher.

I always love halloween episodes in general, but a lot of times they can be too camp. This was great. They tied it in well with the meteor freak stuff. Also, there was sappho action. Not a Gay look of the episode to be found with clark and lex except for the very end when it came close to a Starsky and Hutch moment. I have to give this episode an A. It popped and reminded me of season 2 and 3.

That episode was a lot better than the previews made it out to be. They didn't take it to seriously, and that's a good thing.

It was great to see Carrie Fisher.

I find it hard to believe that Lana had great grades. She never went to school, and when she did she never went to class. She just mooned after Jason, walked around school to remind people she was the most beautiful girl, or got kidnapped.

James Marsters rocks on this show. He owns his scenes. I've got to give props to the writing, they're doing a good job writing the character.

Great Clark Chloe interaction. I was cracking up at Clark superspeeding to Met U. Clark's concern was good, Welling and Marsters did a good job in the hospital scene.

About next week: That's partly my fault isn't it?

Triple shot of skank, party of one. How original to start off with a pizza delivery guy. I mean, gosh, that’s never been done before, has it?

Lana Lang, least scary vampire EVER.

Did anyone else expect Professor Fine, after the pool game with Lex, to call out “Ownage”?

Buffy Saunders tossing Lana down the stairs – currently on loop on my TV

Clark, “I hate costumes.” Carlos? Bwah!!! What a surprise – he likes the cape but not the mask. Meta much DeKnight?

“For those of you just tuning in….this episode blows chunks. Try Lost this week instead.”

Lex cares nothing about Chloe but is instantly alarmed when Lana is affected by Contrivance Rabies? DeKnight, quit with the Lexana already – you’re no good at it and it makes everyone sick. To round off the complete the horror, Lana is once again rooming with Chloe…because that worked out SO well last time. And now she’s also at the Daily Planet? These writers are playing with my canon loving heart, the evil bastards.

Vampire meteor bats? Whose ass did this storyline emerge from? I….just….there really are no words. If not for the excellent Chloe scenes and some of James Marsters’ excellent moments as Prof Fine, this episode would have been pure crap.

What was with the Veronica Mars voice-over?

Was Clark supposed to be Zorro, The Gay Blade?

So now Lana is Chloe's best friend?

Too many questions.

Man, Lana was hilarious in this one. Watching her try to pull off sexy AND menacing all at once was comedy gold.

The Buffy references were heavy, but I got less irritated after I saw Steven DeKnight's writing credit. Between him and Marsters we couldn'y help but have them.

Oh totally. No where but UP!

And the superhearing thing? It's getting to be a trend!



That made me so darn happy!



I thought it was, hence his continued weakeness givent hat these were disease!vamps, not magic!vamps.

All the "Buffy" anvils aside, I really liked this episode. Clark in a Zorro costume was hilarious to me for some reason.

I liked that Chloe was the narrator of the story this week. Gave the episode a very cool feeling to it.

KAAAAHN! She was cool. The Chloe/Kahn plot was nicely delivered, and the last scene was very nice.

JM rocks the socks, as per usual. Although I don't appreciate any reminders of "Gone", what with the extreme suckage of that T-1000 ripoff and the allusion in this episode.

Very fine episode. A-.

I'm visiting friends at home for a vacation and I still make time to watch Smallville and post about it before going out at night. My priorities are awesome.

Quick thoughts... It was in some ways far better and far worse than I'd imagined. The sheer goofiness of it was almost unwatchable at times. Yet overall it did some very good things for the show's dynamic plot and character wise.

I was a little annoyed with the Buffy references at first (IMO for an inferior show to reference a superior show is just verboten) but then I saw DeKnight wrote the ep, and I guess he's allowed (once it became clear they were going for broke I even enjoyed them).

The big good that makes me walk away happy from the show is seeing how its not so much going to be Braniac falling into the old LL role as it is turning Clex into the far more complicated and interesting SpiClex. I look forward to seeing where they go with that.

The anvils were plentiful (two about the costume alone), but pretty well done.

Anyone else think it comes off a little fake having Chloe squee about being at the DP in the basement when (albeit under dubious circumstances) she had her own column there three years ago? Glad they at least remembered that happening. (and Princess Leia was quite good. hope to see more).

KK didn't really do it for me. It just got so goofy I had to turn away at times. Not really her fault, I don't think.

Overall, fair-to-middlin, but props for keeping plot arcs relevant even in the silly episodes.

ETA: Lex finally got some security!! (albeit shortlived, hence Clarks walking right in at the end...)

I liked the episode and liked the pulp fiction shot action. Good times.

If not for my extreme love of Prof. SoFine, I would have turned off the tv. I can't believe the stupidity that was this episode. The freaking (literal meaning here) sorority girls were more pathetic to watch than even Aqua last episode.

Only saving grace for this episode were the scenes of Prof. SoFine, Lex, and Chloe. God, trying to erase what I have in my mind with the crazy girls. Seriously, I'm just glad there was much more of Chloe this episode. Can we just keep the show with Chloe, Lex, and SoFine, and maybe some dashes of Clark?

Working at TDP is her dream and she lost the column under very bad circumstances and odds were very likely that she would never work there again. The fact that she did get a second chance, any sort of chance, to redeem herself would be enough to make me squee.

Logically speaking: Why on earth would Fine tell Clark about project 1138 if he was trying to get Clark to hate Lex? Project 1138 was a GOOD thing, to borrow a phrase from Martha Stewart. I realize that the writers needed a way for Clark to find the cure (as well as have Marsters say there's no such thing as vampires) but there should have been some other way to do it that doesn't undermine the Fine vs. Lex.

But kudos to the writers for finally making me hate Lex. First I loved him. Then in season 4 I was bored by him. But now? Hate.

Clark: Chloe's been infected by vampire rabies!
Lex: *blank look*
Clark: And I think Lana has, too.
Lex: *stricken look* Lana?

And then in the end? It's Clark of all people who has to remind him that Chloe was sick, too, because Lex only asked about the Princess. GAH! Go shove a rabid bat where the sun don't shine, Luthor!

First I have to say that this episode was pretty good. I'm still shocked that I like it so much. I loved how at least for the first 30 minutes the vampire storyline was basically the B story. Also I could be wrong, but was CHloe writing the Chloe Chronicles during this episode. Loved Princess Lips Organa Solo. Also like how they explained the girl being named Buffy. Chloe changing the names to protect the innocent kept it from being cheesy.

Alot of people are going to have bad things to say about the actual Soriority girls, but I took it as this was Chloe's version of events. So the way they acted, was the way she views soriority girls. God help me it was a really fun episode. It wasn't meant to be anything more than that, and that's why I liked it so much.

Flex was great. I didn't watch the scene on AOL before the episode so I was unspoiled. I loved when Fine was looking at the ship, and the way he dispatched Lex's security guard. Loved Lana's fall down the stairs. It was pretty cool, what with the sound effects of bones breaking.

Yeah unfortunately they kept in the heat vision dispatching of the vampire, but I'll let that slide because it kinda fit in with the storyline. Lana actually was rather entertaining in this episode. Also do I sense a bit of the Clex coming back from the Dark side(yes I had to make that Star Wars reference).

Best scene in the whole episode(that didn't include Fine or Lex) was when Chloe was on the phone with Clark, and he superziped to her room and scared the hell out of her. That was just priceless. All in all I can't believe how much I liked this episode. It was so much better than last weeks. That's not saying much, but who would of thought that the Lesbian Vampire episode would be better than the Aquaman eppy. I'm going to give this an A-. Much better than anticipated.



It was also the cell block number of the Death Star that she was kept in from the original Star Wars. Star Wars geeks unite!!!

I thought that the stupidity and the sorority girls were supposed to be over the top. The PTB had to know that this episode couldn't be taken seriously, so they made it like this.

Ok, let me get this straight; The Editor-in-Chief of a major newspaper is going to take
time out of her busy schedule just to call in a college freshman to tell her to get out?

“Yeah Chloe, come in sit down. You suck. Go home.”

“Buffy Sanders”!!?? Please. As if having professor “Spike” have the word vampire escape from his lips isn’t reference enough.

I guess pool-playing is also one of Braniac’s superpowers.

Aside: (And maybe kinda inappropriate) Are Clark and Lana still having sex? If so wouldn’t that kill Lana?

I like vampire Lana better than normal Lana. Too bad they have to change her back.
(Well, they don’t have to change her back but, <sigh>, you just know they will.)

So they all have krypto-rabies?

Wouldn’t Lana have noticed that Clark had a green glowing hypodermic needle in his hand?

It’s the commercial break, but I’m just guessing that one of the side-effects of the cure is amnesia.

BINGO!!

I’m sorry but they’ve used the convenient forgetfulness too many times.

“…I felt what was inside of your heart.” It’s called blood Lana.

“…slaying Buffy the Vampire” We get it; you’ve watched “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”.
Of course it would be better if you watched the early seasons and not the last two.
Can Joss sue?


Next week: More of Lois’ breasts.

The best part of the episode was the ending. I don't mean that in some sardonic way, either. "Up, up, and away," was anvilicious but I ate it up with a spoon.

Oh, but the episode was bogged down by all the bad horror B movie bullshit. The Death Becomes Her stair shove was awful. Actually, *everything* about the a-plot was awful, including Chloe's narration. Perhaps in another setting, I would have like it, but it just didn't work. The dialogue they sattled her with was so clunky. Not to mention, there were some genuinely repuslive (as in heave-inducing) scenes contained within the episode. Lana snapping her joints back into place, being one, and the teaser with all the blood splattering (and the blood red jacuzzi as overkill) being another.

Lana's monologue before attempting to turn Clark was THE worst. I've seen it done a thousand times and I honestly couldn't tell you where because movies containing such contrived, trite, nonsense, I commonly erase from memory.

The only other notable scenes came between Fine and Lex. Still, those gems were few and far between. I detested the lot of this.

Well slap my ass and call me betty ~ I didn't hate it! I actually only saw the last half so I probably missed the really good Fine/Lex stuff too.

But one thing that popped into my head - how many times has Lana, in some shape or form, tried to kill Clark? I think I count three but I can't remember if she actually pulled the trigger during Magnetic or the other guy. (The other times are as Isobel and tonight.)
