serafina20Got my Sirius shirt (which I may return to do bitchiness and in-fighting causing me to be sad). Tickets are for 6:15 with best friend and sister. Am on the last chapter of the book. I"m actually *excited*, unlike when CoS came out, and I got depressed that I wasn't super excited because I was ... depressed. All I have to do is make it through today and life will be good.
I rewatched Visage yesterday.
I have such mixed feelings about it. I like the middle part. Or beginning-middle. When Whitney first comes home, the party, his interactions with Lana. In fact, any scene with Tina!Whitney and Lana I like. I really liked the first scene with Clark and Lana, and the last in the cave. I really think that, had Lana not said the thing about Nell abandoning her (which I understand, but it still jolts me), I would have really liked that scene. I wish they'd continued on the thread of her not caring aobut Clark's secrets, but whatever.
I love the scene between Clark and Lex while playing pool. I still like the first Lex Helen scene. I *love* Helen in that scene, telling Lex off. She does it so well because, even though she was "evil" (and I honestly don't think she was at this point, stupid writers) everything she says to him is pretty well justified (sort of).
But then .... God, I hate when Tina kills McNulty. It's so startling violent and freaky. And the fact Whitney dies pretty much off stage. Sorry. I want to see the body. I want to see him on the ground, writhing in pain and a look of peace or something come over his face and his last words to be Lana. I want to see it, not a big plume of dirt.
I understand what they were trying to do with Clark, but do to bad writing and awkward acting, they failed. I understand Clark's moodiness and upsetness at Whitney coming back, but instead of coming off as anything sypathetic (because, I'd be feeling the same way; glad Whitney was back, but vaguely disappointed, frustrated, and angry), he comes off as a self-centered asshole. I can accept self-centered in this situation, but I want to see the struggle tht Clark was supposed to be feeling, and I just didn't.
I do *not* understand how the hell Tina impaled herself so far on that poll. She barely ran into it. I could see it gouging her in the stomach, but, no, she must die so they went to improbably lenghts to kill her. Such a fucking waste.
So, yeah. Much mixed feeling. But, the dont' matter, because I get to do other things with COTW.
