We are joined by our friend Meryl to spend an extra-long time talking about this extra-weird episode. Digressions include us learning science facts and the moment Alex can no longer restrain herself from yelling about Star Wars.

We are joined by our friend Eric to watch this episode, which is bad! The episode not ... the fact that Eric is there. That's great. Lex Evilness Rating: 3 Rec A Man's Got to Know His Limitations by LastScorpion
In this episode we get an extra Luthor who brings an extra portion of borderline nonsesical Machiavellian melodrama and some bonus weird sexual tension! It's a good time. Lex Evilness Rating:2 Recs: Philadelphia by rivkat Time and a World Away by seperis
Sorry for the delay, guys, I didn't have the wifi I thought I would while was abroad. Let's get back into the swing of things with this classically Smallville episode where people act all crazy because of a space thing! Lex Evilness Rating: 1 Rec: Drop Dead Gorgeous by astolat
This episode sounds like it should be fun, but it isn't. Or possibly we were just too sleepy to process it. Lex Evilness Rating: 1 Rec: Definitely Not a Nashville Party by rivkaT
Hey, finally an episode we actually like! Lex Evilness Rating: 4 Rec: Tell by rivkaT
In this episode, Tina Greer is back, with even more predatory lesbianism! Also, what are skeletons? We just don't know. Lex Evilness Rating: 0 Rec: Sugar by keely
In this episode we sigh a lot about racism. Fun times! Lex Evilness Rating: 1 Recs: Magic in North America Part 1: Ugh. by Adrienne K. Mr Blue Sky by nancyblackett
In this episode, Clark is terrible, Lana and Chloe are adorable, and this show ignores the normal function of both time and gravity. Lex Evilness Rating:3 Recs: Butter Makes It Better by Nuala Resident Alien by seperis, podfic by reena_jenkins
In this episode we are joined by our friend Kes for her first ever episode of Smallville! It's too bad it had to be this one, because it's a huge bummer. Lex Evilness Rating: 2 Recs: Sparks Fly Upwards by Liviapenn Yellow Means Slow by rageprufrock
In this episode, Bess is briefly overwhelmed with feels to the point of incoherence, and also she kind of defends Jonathan in a disagreement with Alex. Lex Evilness Rating: 0 Recs: Three Fairy Tales of Smallville by Koi Looking Glass by seperis
In this episode the show apes Buffy even more than usual, we like the Lana subplot best, and Bess yells at Jonathan A LOT. Lex Evilness Rating: 1 Rec: The Girl Who Stayed by sageness
We have a lot of trouble remembering the details of this episode, despite the fact that we just watched it, but one thing's for sure: it's very gothic. You got that, right? The episode wants to be very sure that you got that. Gothic. Lex Evilness Rating: 0 Rec: Identical Series by Lanning
In this episode we are joined by Alex's cousin, Clare. We fail to work out what is actually going on in the nominal plot of this episode, but nevertheless have a bonkers good time. Lex Evilness Rating: 0 Recs: Eggplant by astolat Incarnadine by rivkat
In place of our normal episode this week, we have an extended conversation recorded way back in episode 1x08. Our guest for that episode, Eric, got us talking about a bunch of things not strictly related to that episode, including the various effects of kryptonite and comparisons to The Flash. As such, this episode contains spoilers for all of the first season of The Flash.
We are joined by our friend Cat for this episode, in which Pete finds out about Clark, this is used by narrative fiat to justify Clark continuing to lie to everyone else, and Lex and Lana continue to have weirdly parallel plotlines. Lex Evilness Rating: 0 Rec: The Right of Truth by Xparrot
This episode was extra Smallville-ish, which is to say, pretty stupid but wildly entertaining. We talk about why this particular episode is so important to slash fandom. Also, Bess at one point claims that the Buffy episode featuring a giant praying mantis monster/sexy teacher makes "more sense" than this, and she's not even the one on cold medicine.

In this episode, we struggle through interruptions from our puppy to talk about the first episode of season 2, in which many things happen. Lex Evilness Rating: 6 Rec: Psyche's Candle by Basingstoke
In this episode we look back on season one, count up our stats, and try to determine whether anyone had a character arc. Also: hogwarts houses, Henry IV, comparative morality, and Alex’s Grand Theory of Lex. Thanks for joining us for this season, see you next week when we start season 2!
We watch the final episode of season one, which ends in a various cliffhangers and contains a LOT of incredibly awkward romance. Lex Evilness Rating: 1 Recs: Apres le Deluge by The Spike Five Things That Aren't True by Basingstoke
In this episode, we’re pretty sure the writers of this show have forgotten how old the main characters are?? So that’s great. Also, Alex gets incoherently excited about a symbolism and we both hate Jonathan so much. Lex Evilness Rating: 1 Rec: Could End Up a Story by girl_wonder
This week we are joined by our friends Meryl and Angie. With them, we discuss teen drama bullshit, what's wrong with drawing with telekinesis, and the advantages of secret basement prisons. Lex Evilness Rating: 0 No fanwork recs this week, but we do reccomend friendship and Veronica Mars.
We quite liked this episode, although neither of us are sure exactly why. As a result we don't have all that much to say about it. But hey, Pete gets to do stuff! Lex Evilness Rating: 2 Rec: Making History, by bagheera
In this episode we are extremely digressive, covering such topics as childhood experiences with fishing, spontaneous combustion, and a fairly extensive and serious discussion of our perspectives of the death of close family members. So, fair warning if that’s not something you want to deal with. Lex Evilness Rating: 5 Recs: Reconcilable Differences, by astolat podfic by fayjay...
In this episode, we watch the sixteenth episode of season one, Stray. We discuss Alex's fear of psychics, Bess's weakness to kidfic, and how probably everything would have gone better if the Kents had just minded their own business. Lex Evilness Rating: 1 Recs for this episode: Conflicts of Interest by rageprufrock Read it and Weep Episode #139 - Smallville...
In this episode, our cat is particularly disruptive and we are extremely amused every time we mention Dr. Hamilton because we, like everyone else on the planet, are currently obsessed with Hamilton the musical. Oh, also, we watched an episode of Smallville and it was garbage nonsense. (If you're wondering, the Star Trek episode we can't remember the name of is "This Side of Paradise.")

In this episode, Bess and Alex discuss the fourteenth episode of Smallville. We spend way to long talking about all the things this episode leaves unknown about the incident in Lex's past it reveals, and also eventually get around to what actually happened in the episode. This episode's rec: Cobrastyle by talitha78
In this episode, Bess and Alex discuss the thirteenth episode of Smallville. We ponder what the writers think the metabolism does, the weirdness of the Clark/Lana/Whitney triangle, and why Lex would want a particle accelerator anyway.

In this episode, Bess and Alex get very angry at Jonathan and Clark, respectively. Plus we do some real Lex character analysis for the first but certainly not the last time. This episode’s recs: Switch: A Comedy of Terrors by rivkat Podifc by pennyplainknits
