You cant say it's bad if you dont even watch the whole thing! You said you fast-forward through most of the parts! i mean common,if your gonna judge a show the least you can do is watch a whole eppisode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23267267.post-26392750796634801672007-02-16T16:25:00.000-05:002007-02-16T16:25:00.000-05:00I only watch the last 10-15 minutes of the show, e...I only watch the last 10-15 minutes of the show, enough to check in with the action-packed denoument and pay scant attention to the emotional repression and longing looks. It's better that way.yarmandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766948159292984708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23267267.post-56815085174569292332007-02-16T13:30:00.000-05:002007-02-16T13:30:00.000-05:00There was something about Miss Teschmacher "taking...There was something about Miss Teschmacher "taking advantage" of Supes' weakened condition that seemed kinda hot -- and suggested possibilities even to the unformed queer mind.<BR/><BR/>I just could never quite get into <I>Smallville</I>. It had all the elements that should have captured my attention (superheros, a hunky lead character, a nostalgic hunky side character (though I agree with bstweart that Tom Wopat was the way to go)). Still, the show has always been a pretty creaky vehicle.GayProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289510184782252498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23267267.post-44954259353052065022007-02-16T07:31:00.000-05:002007-02-16T07:31:00.000-05:00The Superman myth is so rich in allegory, especial...The Superman myth is so rich in allegory, especially for gay men <I>of a certain age</I>. Double lives, secret identities, crippling -- or deadly -- substances, muscles, creative eyewear, varying hairstyles, spandex costumes, arch-nemeses... It's all there.<BR/><BR/>Nice to see you giving props to the incredibly underutilized O'Toole. I look forward to the end of the series, when Rosenbaum can jump to film, where he really belongs.<BR/><BR/>And, sorry, but Tom Wopat was the hotter Duke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
