[SV] Memoria

[serafina20]

To be perfectly honest, I didn't like this episode all that much. Don't get me wrong. It was a good episode. I was totally into all the Luthor segments. I liked Clark in the tank. I *loved* his reaction to it. Clark was raped, and he acted like he was raped by drawing into himself and seeming really hurt. I also liked the fact that he was excited to learn Laua's name ... even if the fact Laura was his first word is weird to me. Kryptonian parents don't have titles? But, whatver.

My problem with the episode is the steps that it took to get Clark into the tank. I just have a *really* hard time buying the idea that Clark would go to Lionel for anything. And the justification that he's protecting his secret isn't enough to me. I'm going to have to go under the assumption that Almiles want me to think Clark is really stupid, because anyone with a modicum of intelligence would realize by now that the more he tries to hide his secret from Lex, the worse things get for all of them. Clark ended up in exactly the same place he and his parents have been trying to avoid, and he *still* doesn't tell Lex anything. It's just becoming stupid to me. Yes, I'm angry at Clark, but I'm more angry at the writers. The story *never* changes, and I'm getting tired of having to wade through this boring ass story (Clark hides his secret from Lex, Clark loves Lana but can't have her) just to get to the good parts (anything with the Luthors). It seems that the Luthor storyline is the only one that evolves.

So, I'm at a weird place right now. I'm reacting to the characters (although I don't hate Clark; I was angry at his choices, he got punished, he's still being stupid, and I'm at a loss), but I'm even more frustrated with the screenwriting. Maybe it's because I'm a slasher and want them to be friends forever. But I really wish there were other ways to bring about the rift, the downfall and rise, and whatever. This is just annoying.

I *loved* the whole Lionel/Lillian thing, although I must say, how fucking stupid was it for Lionel to leave Julian with an obviously resentful, unstable, and depressed woman for the night? Bastard. And double bastard for what he did for Lex. And Woobie!Lex. So brilliant, even at a young age. Too bad it backfired on him, just like everything else.

Lex seemed to be at peace, finally, when he told his father about Lillian. He finally knows why his father never loved him, and he can rest easy. It was Lex's choice, and he can live with that. Beautiful.

Next week ... Cave stuff. Joy.

Yes! I so felt that too. :-)

I read new COTW. You, woman, are trying to kill me. Slowly. And painfully. Cried over the Chad bits, re: my sister. Erm, if I was self-centered, I'd think you're trying to send me a message through your story. But I'll take it as a coincidence, since the part was well under way when I learned about my sister and talked about it on my journal.

Still gonna follow Aaron's advices though. Thanks.

The part rocked, btw. I absolutely loved it. Sure, the Chad parts hit very close to home, but it's ok. I think it fits the character well, and it gives him more depth. And Mark is becoming even more human with each parts. I love him so much now. *pets him* I just adore your OCs. There'll be much more of Damien in the next part right?? *puppy eyes* I missed him.

Much love to you. *pet pet* *hugs*

I actually considered cutting it out after I found out about your sister. Then I thought about running it by you first. I really didn't know what to do.

If you like, I can send you the research nebt_het sent me about self-injury.

I just adore your OCs.

Ah, thank you!!! And I'm going to try to put Damien into the next part. And I think Dominic is coming back for a visit. :)

Much love to you. *pet pet* *hugs*

Love to you, too. *hugs*

You did the right thing, I think. Cutting it out would have been mutilating your story and you shouldn't do that, even for me, er, especially for me. You know how much I love this story and knowing you mutilated it because of me, would have made me feel SO guilty. And running it by me, I don't think I was quite ready when that would have happened. Yesterday was a good time for me to read it, because I had talked with my mom just that afternoon and with my brother and sis-in-law just the night before, and I was more at peace with that. Sort of. I don't know how to explain it, but even if it hurt yesterday, it would have hurt even more before that.

You really did the right thing.

And yes, please, do send me the research. It would be very appreciated. And I can share the information with fleur_de_lys_ (my sister-in-law), my brothers and my parents. Maybe that will help all of us.

Thank you so much honey. *smooch*
