SMALLVILLE SPOILERS:

He seemed to be directing himself to creepily hug the Emma Watson girl 
several times.  ^_~   Seriously, I thought a lot of the actors were 
noticeably *off* last night -- especially Lana (who I think normally 
does a perfectly acceptable job), but even Lex seemed a bit weird.  At 
the time, I just figured it was just general Lexana awkwardness -- I 
love the idea of them in theory, but for some reason I'm finding that 
it squicks me a bit in practice -- but maybe it had to do with having 
someone inexperienced "behind the wheel," so to speak.

Oh, but the Emma Watson girl was *great*.  Much better than the real 
thing, IMO, not that I don't love my Hermione.  The way the tears just 
welled up in her little eyes . . . I wish more actors could cry 
convincing like that.

Dina, I'm curious to know if you've ever given Veronica Mars a try -- 
it seems like the kind of show you would like (oh, man, the HoYay), but 
I've never seen you mention  it.  Logan Echolls is sort of Lex's much 
friskier counterpart.  Someone, somewhere, *must* have written a 
crossover fic with the two of them in it, and I've just got to find it.

Laura (who thought *Chloe*, of all people, had the best chemistry with 
Lex in the last ep, even if he was being a jackass.  Honestly, where 
does he get off on insulting someone else's dating record?  
Boyfriend-less as 18 is a lot better off than twice divorced from 
gold-digging homicidal maniacs at 25, IMO.)
