Dominion Screentime Minutes,and late thoughts
Wow, I never thought I would get this done. Between a crazy busy weekend, major download issues, and general malaise about the show itself, it felt like a very long journey to this review.
I also think I was having a hard time thinking of what I wanted to say. Because while this episode had some very entertaining moments in it, and some very ( Read more... )

Also I don't think the wonky filming schedule helped.

Thanks for the ST. Awesome review. I agree with Costas wrt Cassidy's acting. I usually love her acting as I find her to be a better actress than ED (who I think is so overrated), but she was way off her mark. The only scene that she seemed alive in was w/ Clark and Ollie. I could've done without the Lois/Tess scene...that brought the whole episode down for me.
Chalk up another episode where I had to go with the shallow. Tom did indeed look incredibly hot!! He was the best thing about this episode.lol Seriously, I loved how Tom played Clark...defiant, cool, calm and collected. He was the man with the plan...yay!!
Sorry, I'm not very good at conveying my thoughts. They're usually so jumbled.lol
Also, I found that scene between Zod/Ollie too long as well as that last Clark/Lois scene. I agree on how they're portraying Lois...but again, didn't you know that Lois is awesome and Clark just sucks. [/sarcasm]
Anyways, thanks again for taking the time for compiling and your review.

This wasn't one of Cassidy's stronger eps, I agree. I would've been happier with just Tom, JH and CB in this ep, with more time spent in the P-Zone, and formulating the plan to escape. Lets give the ladies the week off! :D
Going with the shallow is ALWAYS a good plan. Tom was so beautiful, and I'm actually surprised at how lovingly JH directed his close-ups. And I also liked the way he was playing Clark. Whatever my issues with the season and its writing, I do think the actors have always done their best for the majority of the time. They aren't on all the time, or in every scene, but I think they've poured a lot of themselves in the show and the characters.
You convey your thoughts just fine. I know when I write these reviews, I feel like my thoughts are going in 20 different directions.
Now, now, Clark doesn't suck....because he loves Lois! Thats the way that goes.
And you're always welcome. :)

Oh the homoerotic tones, I felt them too. Zod wants Clark so badly.lol It seems everyone wants to touch him too. Can't blame them...bring on my Clex!!

CB was definitely bringing the HoYay to this episode. Whenever he said he was looking for a brother, I just heard "lover", because thats how it came across to me.
I am also beyond tired of the little winks. Its the end of the show. Enough with the winks, bring on the real thing. At this point, its just irritating. I mean, really, think about it...who the hell in the P-Zone made Clark a cape? And why would they?
I'm just not understanding why anyone would think sending the message that "Thank God Lois didn't follow Clark's plan, or he would've been screwed" is a good thing. Unless what you're interested in is making Lois look good, and don't care so much about what it says about Clark.
I would be OK with Oliver having this arc so close to the end if I thought for one minute that it would be used to show Clark being the one pulling him out of The Darkness! But it won't be. It will be Chloe. Guaranteed. So, yeah, totally don't care.

I think the Lois/Tess scene with the gun is just probably one of those scenes that might have looked better on the written page, but just looked soap opera melodramatic once put to film.
This coming weeks ep certainly does not look good. At all. Hopefully it will surprise us both. :)
