bradygirl_12"Committed" (Episode 5) (Season 8) (October 16, 2008)
So, tonight’s episode?
I’m going to swim against the tide here and say that I like Chloe/Jimmy again. I’ve always liked them before this season and I’m liking them again. So what if Jimmy embellished about his family? People lie because they’re ashamed, embarrassed, and for a lot of other reasons. Clark lies to keep himself and his loved ones safe. He wants a semi-normal life. I have no problem with him lying in that context. Jimmy lied because he was ashamed. He came clean and that’s that. Chloe still has a pretty big secret she’s keeping from Jimmy (Clark!) but that’s not her secret to tell.
I was squicked by all the sadistic torture. Ugh!
I prefer my restraints of the fuzzy pink variety, and snapped on with love. Who knew Jimmy was so kinky? ;)
Lois admitted she loved Clark? I’m not sure if he loves her yet, though, which, of course, is a complete reversal of the usual way things go. He’s attracted to her, I think, but love? Maybe not yet.
Does Clark believe Lois when he says she lied during the test? Not sure.
Ollie/Tess? Hmm, not seeing it. Though I must admit, I do like the shoe on the other foot with the woman kicking the man out of bed and just in it for the sex (so she says). ;)
Ollie had chemistry with Lois.
He has chemistry with Clark.
He doesn’t with Tess.
She’s got chemistry with Lois, too. Even better chemistry! ;)
Ollie in bed was a great picture! ;) He really needs to start getting’ it on with Clark. ;)
Ollie seemed upset about the engagement, but I don’t think it was because LOIS was getting married. ;) Probably why he went after Mercy. Rebound! ;)
Strange episode, but interesting.

Date: 2008-10-17 06:02 am (UTC)The handcuffs I didn't think were kinky, because nearly all my dorm mates in college had a pair. It's pretty mainstream by now :P But the pink fuzzy cuffs made me go 'awww' -- it's obvious Jimmy was thinking of Chloe when he bought them. He could have gotten regular cuffs, but nope he bought something that was cute and comfortable.
And I soooo agree with you about Ollie/Clark. Even more obvious when we find out about his romp with Tess. Hee, rebound! (incidentally, was it explained why Ollie went into the jewellry store?)

Wow, go dorms! ;)
And you're right, Jimmy was definitely thinking of Chloe with that choice. :)

Ollie just looked flummoxed! :)
As for why he was there, probably buying that jewelry for Mercy, but I like to think he was buying a surprise for Clark. ;)

He doesn’t with Tess.
THANK YOU! I totally agree. Tess has fantastic chemistry with Lois, with Chloe, with Maxima ... with Ollie? No, it's not there!
Though I did appreciate the shirtless Ollie in bed. Yumm. ;D
The Chimmy is slightly winning me over and I want to pretend s7 never happened. Allison is really working it.
I enjoyed the Clois (I know you're shocked!). ;D Their banter and nicknames was hilarious.

That's my explanation and I'm sticking to it.

Absolutely zip, zero, nada! She should stick to the ladies. ;)

Oh, yeah! Fringe benefit!
And in Lex's bed? ;)

*giggles* Clark didn't seem very comfortable, did he? :)

Me, too! :)

And I agree with your assessment of Ollie/Tess... they were pretty blah. We need to bring in some Black Canary for him! (though haven't seen enough of his interactions with BC to judge how their chemistry will be)

LOL! They're really workin' the Clois!

Yeah, they haven't been together much, but what little I saw looked promising. :)
