I usually tape Smallville and my other Wednesday night shows, but I am on vacation and taking a night off from music practice, so it is with much anticipation that I am going to watch Smallville tonight. Hopefully it is good, because Season 4 has been pretty lackluster so far, and there aren't many shows left to pull this season out of the toilet. A synopsis of tonight's show from the WB:
A stunned Chloe (Allison Mack) is nominated for Prom Queen and tries to talk a reluctant Clark (Tom Welling) and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) into attending the dance with her. However, after her rival Dawn (guest star), a wannabe Prom queen, crashes her car into a ravine filled with kryptonite, Dawn's spirit is released and she enters the bodies of the others making them act out of character. As a result, Lana asks Clark to be her date, Lois (Erica Durance) attends the Prom and Chloe sets the school on fire. Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) gives the seniors a special gift by having the band Lifehouse play at the dance.
This sounds like the recipe for a horrid episode. We'll see how it goes. At least Alias has pulled itself up by the bootstraps and has been pretty good so far this season. That's after Smallville, so the evening is salvageable even is Supes sucks tonight.
Update: Smallville was pretty good tonight. Another body snatcher episode. It seems like the writers have gotten into a rut and can't get out. And what is up with Clark and Lana at the prom? I say it is time to give Chloe a shot at romance with Superman. She knows his secret. Let her in.
Alias was awesome. They have definitely put last season's disappointment behind them. I have a feeling the Sloane of old is back after some exposure to Rombaldi, and he is going to be worse than ever.
