Smallville

Just finished watching Smallville seas 5 ep 12. An excellent one I must say. After series of plain episodes, starting from episode 9 (Lexmas), it got better. Episode 9 must have been inspired by the Family Man (starring Nicholas Cage and Tea Leoni). It’s a Christmas episode, the first one in Smallville. Quite interesting storyline about the possibility about how the future would change if Lex made a different decision after he got shot at Christmas Eve. How he ended up marrying Lana and had a son, and soon about to have a daughter. But in the end, he made a decision that sealed him as Superman’s archenemy. Very nice twist in the plot….nice job Mr. Gough n Mr. Millar. Btw. Erica Durance didn’t appear in this episode, just like Kristin Kreuk didn’t appear in the previous episode, Solitude.

Episode 10 (Fanatic)…didn’t appeal very much, just a standard too obsessed fan who’s too devoted to Lex. Episode 11 (Lockdown) I believe was also inspired by a movie (Panic Room, starring Jodie Foster). Nice story..and officer Harris was actually quite cute…for a moment she looked like Laura Harring.

And the most outstanding episode in seas 5 (so far) was episode 12 (Reckoning). From the very beginning we were brought to a different landscape of the Kent’s farm, not just green but this time it was snowy white…. I love snow…..and the opening scene when Clark asked Lana for a mysterious date, the song perfectly built up the emotions. Later out I found out that it was James Blunt’s song, You’re Beautiful. Short story, Clark told Lana his secret, proposed her and she said yes. It was a magnificent way to propose a girl, brought her to your fortress of solitude, demonstrated your power a lil bit, crushed the stone to extract the diamond within, shaped it, attached it to a ring and then sealed with your heat vision. N then popped the classic question, and after that, opening credit. WOWWWWWWW !!!! What a blast opening….Well anyway, Clark was not destined to spend his life with Lana, so the story went to a point (I skip the other parts that didn’t concern Clark n Lana) where Lana was chased by Lex, coz Lex knew that Lana had known Clark’s secret. And her car was hit by a bus, and she died. Clark rushed in to the location but there’s nothing he could do, Lana’s dead. So he came to his fortress of solitude again, and then asked Jor El a second chance to change it but there wouldn’t be another.


So once again we’re brought to the opening scene but this time it was different and Lana finally said that she need a break…Clark asked, “From me?”..but Lana said,”No, from us” and it was when James Blunt’s song reached… “But it’s time to face the truth, I will never be with you….” Another WOWWWWWW, excellently composed….but one thing for sure, if you change a history, nature will find its equilibrium. And that’s what happened. Clark saved Lana, but lost his father. Jonathan Kent died of a heart attack after he was visited by Lionel Luthor. One thing that still intrigues me is what the picture that Lionel showed Jonathan was. And in the ending scene, another funeral, this time it’s Jonathan’s. Reminded me of Smallville episode 19 (Crush) in season 1. At that time it was Whitney’s father funeral, it was raining and Lana looked so gorgeous in the scene holding an umbrella while Clark looking at her from a distance, all suit up and soaked wet by the rain. Well this time it’s different. It was snowing, it’s all white and Lana held Clark’s hand before let it go slowly. Lex looked from a distance. It’s a superb episode…..Now…I’m gonna watch the rest…..Smallville…. you ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


James Blunt - You're Beautiful

My life is brilliant.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful, You're beautiful,
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yes, she caught my eye
As I walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was flying high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last 'til the end.

You're beautiful, You're beautiful,
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you.

da da da da...

You're beautiful, You're beautiful,
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel
With a smile on her face
When she thought up that I should be with you,
But it's time to face the truth.
I will never be with you.




Yeahh…I know that I’ll never be with you……
