I remember a lot of SMALLVILLE critics talking about it being just a monster-of-the-week show.

Order received..

A few people had warned me off even covering the first season but I'm glad I started at the beginning. The episodes I like I really like. And the episodes that fail are kind of fun and interesting. If memory serves, we're about to hit a bit of a valley, "Ice" aside, but I'm still looking forward to it.

Thank you.

It's over on Videocracy. I'm usually skeptical of these things. There's a similarity there but it's not overwhelming. But I liked the other song, too, and it made me want to check out that band, which I suspect was the true mission of the clip anyway.

Good idea.

Actually, I was trying to say that Martin's simple lyrics work in the context of the songs.

…or a weird connection to THE HAPPENING, which also has a bee disappearance.

I'm about 60 pages in. I'm going to reserve judgment but at this point I can safely say it's not the most fantastic novel of all time. And I'd never heard of it before either.

I know! I went in expecting nothing. Then I found I was really enjoying it. And then toward the end I realized I was reading a great book. Glad you read it.

You know. I get it now. And I feel pretty stupid. I will reread.

Added note
If you watch part 2 of the making-of, it references an imminent video release. Never happened.

We'll start fresh with season two, though we'll almost certainly review the Season One box set when it comes out.

I knew this post was coming!

Funny….
I just picked this up on CD recently and thought it was pretty good. The live renditions of the then-more-recent stuff sounds better than the glam-era material.("Station To Station"'s a particular highlight.) But it's still better than DAVID LIVE.
