Smallville Noir *flails*

[rosy5000]

I don't do reviews of Smallville but OMG.... I think I just found my favorite episode EVER (or at least tied with Onyx).

The b&w 40s movie feel was just perfect.  Especially since I LOVE those movies.  I can definitely watch this ep over and over and over and... you get the idea.  ;)

Jimmy was so fun.  Chloe was the perfect Girl Friday.  Lionel was suave.  Lex was gorgeous.  Lana was actually believable.  I think Kristen Kruek was born about 80 years too late.  She would have been perfect in the 40s movies.

Now I love my Lex, but OMG.... Clark stole my heart in this ep.   His first appearance just reminded me soooo much of Christopher Reeve's Clark's first appearance at the Planet.  And the glasses.  *loves the glasses*  Then in the gin joint. ;)  Be still my heart!  EEeeeeeee!!!!  The color pictures available for promos kill the b&w effect.  The b&w just made Clark look.... *drools*.....  and the slicked back hair!  LOVES LOVES LOVES!!!!  Lets not forget the wifebeater!  *dreamy sighs*  SHoulders!!!

And hey... Clark shot Lana.  Can never go wrong there. *grins*

And Clark's police badge was shaped like the El symbol!  hehehe

As for the story... yeah, it may have been so full of cliches, but it was fun and well done.  I knew the first suspect was probably gonna be Lex, but for it to be Lionel... go Lionel. ;)  *grins*  Ok... so I cheered a bit when they showed Lana shot in the elevator.  Keep her in the 40s movie story line and I could possibly come to like her.  In the regular storyline... never gonna happen.

I think I'm gonna have to rewatch this one again this weekend. :D

I had to tape it anyways but I'll probably look for a download too. :) Then I can burn it to a dvd and watch over and over easier. ;)
