Hands up anybody who doesn’t think TIAC’s a freak? No, I thought not. And yet the writers are proposing that this episode’s revelation of that very fact should be considered a surprising startle.
Anyways, we’ll get to that (assuming I can remember to be bothered). For now, let’s enjoy the raucousosity of the Lana Lang Hen’s [...]

Robert Palmer died in 2003 at the tenderised age of 54. His premature death can be traced directly to his infamous mule-headedry when it came to the medical profession. Nowhere is this more clear than in his 1979 smash hit single, Doctor, Doctor (Bad Case Of Loving You). In this song, despite initially begging his [...]

For many seasons now we’ve put up with the world-class ineptitude of the Luthor security, who have shown themselves to be wholly incapable of preventing anybody from entering the mansion, be they meteor freak or Kryptonian or plain old pain in the asses like TIAC. But at last we get the chance to focus on [...]

Funny, isn’t it, how a character previously unseen can go from not at all hated to universally loathed by all sane viewers within one hundred short episodes. Or, if not funny, certainly very tedious and stupid indeed.

Uppity Jean is back and she’s… well, she’s uppity, all right. Scott and Emma have been having a psychic affair while Uppity Jean’s mind has [...]

Watched The Machinist the other night. Personally, I found the plot a little difficult to follow - partially due to the convoluted nature of the storyline, but mostly because I’d misread the DVD cover and expected to be watching a biography of Theo MacHinist, famous 16th Century Scottish poet and linedancer.
So, y’know, blame on both [...]

It’s Valentine’s Day! Or, at the very least, it’s the Valentine’s Day episode, which is surely the next best thing. It begins with TIAC, eager to gloat about her ‘have-boyfriend’ status, dragging Superlad to the Annual Metropolis Valentine’s Day Ball.
“Come on, Superlad,” she says. “Spend some time here and your achey breaky heart will go [...]
