Stewart here…

We started season six with Clark escaping from the Phantom Zone to defeat Zod possessed Lex.  While stopping Zod/Lex went well, his escape did allow some of the baddies in the Phantom Zone to arrive on Earth.  Speaking of bad news for Clark, Lana has moved in with Lex and they seem to be getting really cozy.  On the other hand, Clark finds he has some help in the crime-fighting department with the arrival of Oliver Queen in Metropolis, who happens to also dabble in running around fighting crime in a green hood and shooting arrows.  So, let’s see what happens now… Continue reading →

Welcome to the sixth season of Smallville minicaps!  So, last season brought a lot of high and lows for recent high school graduate Clark Kent.  Besides getting a shiny new kryptonian designed fortress in the arctic, Clark has gone off to college.  But all that gets derailed by many cataclysmic events, like the death of his adopted father, Jonathan, and the end of his relationship with Lana, who ends up shacking up with Lex.  Throughout this season has also been the threat of Zod, a kryptonian criminal returning from the Phantom Zone to conquer Earth.  Well, Zod has needed a vessel to host him, and he finds a perfect one in Lex.  Clark fails to keep Zod from possessing Lex, and from being banished to the Phantom Zone.  With Metropolis in full chaos and Zod/Lex with no none to stop him, what happens now?

Drunk Year in Review

1 Jan

HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRR

Eliz to the beth  just posted that someone should write an end of year something and I said that I could do it while drunk and SHE said DO IT so here I am after a litre of cider, some cake vodka shots, and half a bottle of expired sangria. I haven’t had much alcohol since starting my ketogenic diet, so I have like zero tolerance now. Which is pretty sad but cost effective, I guess.

So the year in review! I’m probably the least liely person to do this because a) I have the memory of a goldfish and b) I rarely get out to do things but whatever. I’m here so let’s go! Continue reading →

Let’s just take a minute to examine how crap this year has been for Clark: Jonathan dies, he breaks up with Lana, Lex is shacking up with Lana, Lionel knows his secret, and now there’s the threat of an invasion from Zod.  Then there’s Milton Fine, who has been working with Lex on…something.  Since we’re at the end of the season, let’s see how all this plays out, shall we?

Smallville season 5 minicaps broke up with Lana Lang to protect her. Yeah, that's the ticket.

With Clark still reeling from Jonathan’s death, he decides to end his relationship with Lana.  Which wouldn’t be so bad, except she is looking to deal with this through Lex.  Meanwhile, Lex has found Milton Fine and is helping him prepare for an alien invasion.  Did I also mention Mr. Fine is the source of said invasion?  Well, let’s see what happens now… Continue reading →

ARROW Season 2×09, “Three Ghosts” recap

12 Dec

arrow-00002Welcome back, Arrow-heads, and boy, we got a lot to cover before we get started here. Let’s start with the island flashbacks as our group gets to that sub with the super-serum, and injects Slade with it to save his life…which seems to kill him instead. Things in the present aren’t as rosy either, with Ollie discovering a plot to make more of this compound (that he swears is completely destroyed) with one of Brother Blood’s test subjects doing the grunt work. After telling Roy to back off the bizarre deaths that he knows are being caused by the super-serum’s failures, Ollie traces Blood’s henchman to a storage facility, and promptly gets left for dead. Good thing Felicity has been making cute with visiting forensic guy Barry Allen, because she has him abducted to help a dying Ollie. How does that turn out?

6 Dec

arrow-00002

Welcome back, Arrow-heads!  What you should know before we start: in the island flashbacks, Ollie wants to find that super serum stuff to save Slade’s life.  In the present, Moira has been found not guilty of conspiring with the dead Malcolm Merlyn, who we find out after the verdict, is not dead at all.  Besides helping keep Moira out of the gas chamber, Malcolm has something else to discuss with Moira, like their lovespawn Thea!  So, let’s get down to it… Continue reading →

ARROW Season 2×07, “State vs. Queen” recap

22 Nov

arrow-00002

Welcome back to the party, Arrow-heads!  A quick recap of things to know: Moira is about to go to trial for her involvement in the destruction in the Glades, Laurel assigns herself to the prosecution to “help Moira” (to the gas chamber if her pill popping catches up with her decision making), and Count Vertigo from season one is still in prison, and probably still quite insane.  So, let’s jump right in… Continue reading →
