Well it looks like Smallville is hitting the comics. This is the second new comic character this season. I don't know what to say about Maxima... I liked the actress, and I liked the story line... But it just felt too short. Much like last week, that storyline just was way to rushed and we didn't get enough of Maxima to truly understand her.
I would have LOVED a scene of her on her homeplanet getting the becon and just to see where she is coming from. Just maybe a little more of her, just to get to know something more. She was way to 1-demensional and I felt it didn't do justice to the comic character who (from what I've read/seen in comics) has a few levels and has been one of Superman's greatest allies and one of his worst enemies. So hopefully she will pop-up in one more episode a bit more redeemed and on the side of good. That is kinda what Maxima is known for in the comics her constant alliance change due to her mood - which makes her such an interesting character.
Line! Didn't she remind you of Starfire from the comics when she showed up in the get-up?
She did have some great interaction with the characters. It amused me that even Tess seemed a bit mesmorized by her :lol: and the interaction between the two was great. Which just goes to show that Tess has become one of the greatest additions to the Superman universe since Chloe! She is just so damn interesting and has so many layers that everything she does just makes me go "aww!!" I really enjoyed her confronting Chloe (god was Chloe just not badass?) I love that Chloe isn't afraid of her and is finally standing up for herself (I guess she figures she could take Tess in a fight)
The Clark/Chloe stuff was a bit heart breaking. There is so much between the two that knowing it is finally over... Oh and what is this Clark giving her away at her wedding? Umm... Talk about a kick in the shin to her father! I would be pretty pissed off if I was Mr Sullivan! Geez!
Okay, anyways. Lois and Clark! My heart just sunk when Lois saw him and Maxima making out in the elevator. Lois was just so torn and I have not seen so much emotion on her, and I was just like "I wanna hold you!" I think this season will be great for the two of them. The scene in the barn was so sweet and I really wanted them to live together again (season 4 has some GREAT scenes with the two living together!) Lois is just so wickedly cool and there is just so much potential for the two!
Her confrontation with Maxima was so cool and I love tough-ass Lois. She is just so kickass and I am glad we have gotten so much of her (and word is more then 13 episodes this season!)
Now I did have 2 major issues with this episode.
1) The special effects were a tad cheap. They just seemed a bit corny, like the speed/slow motion just looked really really cheap! And really not the best we've seen. Most of the effects that looked cheaped where with Maxima's effects and that makes me afraid that the speacial effects for the Legion of Superheroes will also be kinda cheesy... And yes they are already kinda cheesy, but I can just picture some of the effects. So I hope they are just saving some money and really gunna kick up the budget when that episode comes up (and the Kara episode).
2) Jimmy... I liked the character but now he is just on my nerves. DAMN IT MAN! SHE SAID YES!!! She loved Clark at one time, but they are just friends so stop freaking out! Clark will always be there so get damn use to it... Stop being the jelouse guy and just realize that Chloe LOVES you and wants to marry you.
I want more Jimmy/Lois stuff. Currently it is ALOT more interesting then Jimmy/Chloe stuff... Which is upsetting cause sseason 6 and 7 had some GREAT Jimmy/Chloe scenes but they are just not working in season 8...
Now the last scene... Is that message from Lex or are they gunna introduce the character of Red X? (which I find very unlikely... But would be a pretty cool twist!)
