Hoaxed

[rivkat]

It turns out that the uranium smuggling was a hoax. I feel better, generally, but disturbed at having been taken in.

So, Smallville. Gayer than a busload of Cher impersonators holding posies of lavender flowers. Clark isn't affected by "some" human female pheromones? I haven't seen such a lame papering over of homosexual subtext since the shock of killing his captain (and his friend) snapped Spock out of ponn far. There were some genuinely heterosexual moments where Clark seemed to desire Lana, but overall I'd say it was a victory for the Incredibly True Adventures of Two Boys in Love reading.

In other news, I actually liked Spike's Justin Timberlake hair better than this week's 'do. I was impressed by the royal blue spandex shirt, and yet glad it turned out to be a costume. But the clear winner (and justification enough for the entire episode) is the Spike/Xander glance of repressed lust when Endangered Girl asked whether there was any pairing among them that hadn't occurred.

I screamed when I saw that look. Saw that as a 'It NEVER happened' reminder. I love the show again is what.

that was a wonderful Buffy moment - and I don't suppose it would inspire you and MustangSally to write another one of your marvelous Buffy/Spike stories. I shouldn't complain - after all, you've given us several masterpieces but hope springs eternal that you will get tired of Clex and return to Buffista.

namaste SF Nancy (who loves your writing!)

Thanks. In theory, we're in the home stretch of the 4th Bowie story, but we've been in the home stretch for a few months now. Having written a bunch of Clex recently, I am aware I'm under a moral obligation to finish the Buffy story soon, though.
