It's a beautiful day.

I'm in an amazingly good mood. I'm probably also going to be making vroom noises a lot. Don't mind me. :) Ms. Blaire, do you have time to take me driving this weekend? I really want to get my license as soon as I can.

Also, I put together that list of Evil Kryptonite Mutants as seen on "Smallville." It's over half the show. Sticking it behind cut, everybody's welcome to comment.

I was going to put in a little minirant about how it's really annoying seeing Superman beat up mutants every week, but I'm in too good a mood.



1-1: Electric guy.
1-2: Bugboy.
1-3: Pyrokinetic coach.
1-4: Shapeshifting girl.
1-5: Heat-sucking guy.
1-6: Fountain of Youth.
1-7: Fat-sucking vampire (the heck?)
1-8: Jittery guy. Not sure about this one.
1-10: Invisible stalker people.
1-11: Mind-controlling salesmen--hey, at least one of them wasn't evil this time.
1-12: Not really a mutant this time, but People Who Aren't Clark With Powers Go Crazy, and Clark's all happy to be normal.
1-13: Tattooed jocks walk through walls. Was this before or after Senator Kelly mentioned Kitty in that hearing? I forget. Either way, this one really horks me off.
1-16: Telepathic kid. Not evil, for once, but still freaks people out.
1-17: Back to the evil crazy mutants. Disintegrator guy.
1-18: Psycho bee-controlling girl tries to win the student council elections, in what may be the stupidest plot ever.
1-19: Telekinetic artist . . . yes, you guessed it, flips out and kills people.

2-2: Evil pheromone-wielding gold-digger.
2-5: Jekyll-and-Hyde kid kept locked up in his parents' basement . . . breaks out and goes on a rampage. Yeah, they like their rampages, those mutants.
2-6: Age-sucking lady. Okay, we've had heat-suckers, fat-suckers, and now age-suckers. I think it's safe to say the show sucks. ;)
2-8: The telepath kid is back. Still not evil. Yay, the exception, I guess.
2-9: Would it be biased of me to say this is the worst episode of the entire show? Speaking as a member of the spontaneous self-cloning community, we do not, in fact, two-time our girlfriends, nor do we throw people off bridges. Thank you. Go back to Home Improvement, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, where you were funny.
2-10: Clark falls in love with a werewolf, who, you guessed it, turns out to be just a little crazy. Also, she dies.
2-11: The psycho shapeshifter girl is back, and crazier than ever.
2-20: I don't think this one necessarily counts as mutants, because they get their powers from asthma inhalers (eeevil asthma inhalers!) but it's still Nutso People With Powers Who Aren't Our Hero.

That's 24 of 44 episodes. Luckily they seem to be moving away from Evil (Kryptonite) Mutants, but sheesh.

This is somewhat disturbing.

I think the best thing to do in situations like this is point and laugh at how very unrealistic it all is.

Or how bad I assume Mr. Thomas' acting abilities were.

He was pretty over the top, yeah. And I do point and laugh, but it's still kinda disturbing that there's a show on TV where over half the episodes are "Look! Superman beats up mutants! Yay, Superman!" I mean, it makes you wonder, y'know?

Quite.

Aliens are fine, but mutants from alien rock are not? It's all very confusing.

This is why I stick to Saturday morning for my television. That, and CSI, of course.

(because Spock and Grissom always make sense)

CSI is great. Between that and Law and Order I'm pretty much convinced there's no such thing as a perfect crime.

It would be really cool if there was a show that had a mutant main character. Where they spent most of the season getting you to like the character, and then at the end of the season it turns out he's been a mutant all along.

'Course, the show would get cancelled, if it made it to the screen at all. But at least it'd be a try, you know? And not everybody would hate it.

*grin* Congrats you. Just think, if you had a license we'd never, ever, every have to deal with Alison playing "cheufeur" again...

Speaking as a member of the spontaneous self-cloning community, we do not, in fact, two-time our girlfriends

Appreciated. :-*

Tattooed jocks walk through walls.

Ah... Never saw that one. Can't say I regret that... *kicks writers of stupid television*

I did think of that, yes. :)

Appreciated. :-*

Thought you might. ;)

And the tattooed jocks thing was just . . . annoying and dumb. Never explained why it was that tattooing yourself with Kryptonite would make you intangible instead of, you know, poison you, and they robbed banks and blackmailed people and all sorts of stuff.

He tattooed himself with kryptonite??? How... stupid.

they robbed banks and blackmailed people

That's not the dumbest one. The dumbest one, I think, has to be the Kryptonite Diet Shakes. Which is where we get fat-sucking vampires.

Stress relief. I get to heckle the TV about mutants in the media, and laugh at the really stupid parts, of which there are many.

Reminds me I need to tell you my Superman story, because if I wait until Christmas and Mom tells it, she'll get into far too much detail about how long it took to give birth to me.

The Superman story relates to your being born how?

*wants to hear*

Well, come find me, then, I'm not releasing this story out into the wild. :)

I'll give you a subtle hint.

"Wow, there are quite a lot of books close by to where I am."

:D

Sounds like a plan to me. Vroom!

Or, well, "vroom", I mean. Posted limit. ;)
