Most Memorable Moment: Clark Kent Dancing with Lana Lang at the Prom (Smallville)

This was such an interesting prom scene from the Smallville episode Spirit (season 4 episode 18) because there were a wide array of emotions shown from all the characters. From Clark Kent's surprise at seeing Lana Lang to Lana's nervousness of being at the prom. To both Lois Lane and her cousin (still not a fan of this) Chloe Sullivan feeling a little melancholy to Martha and Jonathan Kent's shock melt into happiness to Jason Teague's jealousy at seeing Clark and Lana dancing.

There was just so many emotions in this scene. I always found it interesting that despite Lois saying that she wasn't the one Clark wanted to dance with, you could see on her face after he left that she was experiencing some sort of emotion about it. Perhaps she did want to dance with him. But at that point in time Clark only had feelings for Lana who unfortunately was dating Jason (who in my opinion was using Lana because she had a connection to the stones). Jason might have cared for Lana but he was still using her.

Now back to Lois, the irony of her telling her cousin "You're headed for Metropolis. You are destined to be a big shot reporter at the Daily Planet." Which as we all know, is Lois' destiny. I have to mention that very bright and tacky pink dress and equally tacky earrings that Lois was wearing (maybe I'll do a Fashion Meets Comics for it). That look was so not Lois, however, it was all thanks to Dawn Stiles' ghost who had possessed her. Ugly dress or not at least Dawn did an amazing job with Lois' makeup because that was perfect. The sad thing was that one way or another Dawn was so set on being Prom Queen and she kept possessing different people to try to achieve that. Meanwhile, I just love Lana's complete look, it was very old Hollywood glam. Hair, dress, accessories and makeup, it was all perfect. And Clark had a very nice simple tuxedo that looked great on him.

They really had the perfect song playing with Lifehouse performing their song "You and Me". Because as the scene closes, there's Clark and Lana happily slow dancing without a care in the world not realizing the swirl of emotions all around them. They are just so blissfully unaware. This was just a memorable scene.

Festivus: The Airing of Grievances: Chloe Sullivan, Finn and Padmé Amidala

I totally forgot it's Festivus and with that comes the Airing of Grievances. Here are few of mine:

- I really wish Chloe Sullivan was written off of Smallville after the fourth season. She was important to Clark's story in high school but afterwards she should have been written off so that Clark could start to figure out who he was in the next chapter in his life. After Chloe found out Clark's secret that he was an alien and had powers in the fourth season, she had become the "brain" and would provide all the answers to whatever problems Clark needed to deal with. Unfortunately, this went on for several seasons making it seem as if Clark couldn't figure out anything on his own. Which was not true because prior to Chloe finding out, Clark solved all his hero problems on his own in seasons 1-3 and most of season 4. It was obvious the writers didn't know what to do with Chloe and she stayed on the show for way too long. It wasn't until the later seasons that Clark was finally able to start thinking for himself again.

Fandom Friday: My Favorite Smallville Black Canary Scene

I think one of my favorite Black Canary scenes in the Smallville TV series is when she was first introduced in the episode "Sirens" (season 7 episode 11). The episode opened with Chloe Sullivan stealing data from Lex Luthor to give to Green Arrow. However, Lex had a fun little surprise in store for Chloe with Black Canary showing up to retrieve his stolen property. In Dinah's defense, she was misled by Lex when he hired her, she did eventually find out the truth about him which led to an awesome fight scene between her, Green Arrow and Lex.

Anyway, I just loved the flirting between Black Canary and Green Arrow while they were facing off on the roof of the Daily Planet building. Didn't those two have amazing chemistry from the beginning? Too bad they didn't end up together, but that's a post for another day.

Editorial: Allison Mack: The Power and Influence of Celebrity

I held off on writing something about actress Allison Mack who was recently arrested for her alleged high profile role in the cult, NXIVM. She was best known for playing the show created character Chloe Sullivan on the Superman prequel show, Smallville. I keep seeing where fans (mostly die-hard Chloe fans), wondering how they can ever watch Smallville again knowing the terrible things Mack is accused of doing.

Even though I was never a fan of Chloe Sullivan, I thought the character was annoying, self-centered, self righteous and got away with doing a lot of awful things without ever having to apologize for it. I have no issues with rewatching the show because I never had a problem with Mack who played the character simple because I can disassociate or disconnect the actor from the role.

However, I was completely shocked when I heard the news that Mack was allegedly in a cult and was using her fame to recruit women and her power in the organization to exploit and torture them. In her public persona, she spoke of trying to empower women as well as through social media she posted a lot of motivational and inspirational quotes, articles, pictures and books. It was as if she was using her public life to offset the dreadful things she was doing in her private life as a cult member.

To the fans who feel they can no longer watch Smallville because of Mack, they shouldn't feel bad about their decision. Mack and her fictional character Chloe Sullivan both had a fairly large fan base and now many of those fans are disappointed. I think a lot of fans put celebrities on a pedestal and treat them as if they are gods and then when something bad happens they get disappointed. Celebrities are people too, they are no better or worse than anyone else and when they screw up, it shouldn't affect anyone but them.

To the women that were tricked, abused and tortured by this cult, Allison Mack will have her day in court to answer for her crimes. Hopefully, then the victims will receive justice.
