http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/12/SMALLVILLE----Fierce.aspx All right, wrap your head around this. Imagine you’re a foxy blonde Kryptonian named Kara (Laura Vandervoort), who’s been sent to a planet upon which, thanks to the yellow sun, you have extraordinary powers. Reunited with your cousin and only living relative Clark (Tom Welling), what would you do? Use your powers for good? Take over the world? Decide to get involved in a farm town pageant and fall in love at first sight with geeky photographer Jimmy Olson (Aaron Ashmore)? Guess which one the writers of SMALLVILLE picked. Oh, and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) returns. That’s a pretty minor plot point, I know, but it seems only fair to mention it. Anyway, back to the important stuff: Kara decides she wants to fit in to Earth society, and feels that competing in the Miss Sweet Corn Pageant is the best way to go about it. Clark is understandably concerned about this, as the number of ways in which their cover could get blown and thus draw unwanted attention is mind-boggling. However, the Man of Steel also knows bone-stubborn when he sees it (which will serve him well when he finally meets Batman), and reluctantly decides to stand aside. This in turn allows Kara to run afoul of three fellow competitors cruising through life at bitch factor nine, at least one of whom is packing an extra-special power that goes with her winning personality. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/12/SMALLVILLE----Fierce.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/12/SMALLVILLE----Fierce.aspx#1753 0 Ezra http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/12/SMALLVILLE----Fierce.aspx#1753 Sat, 13 Oct 2007 20:19:56 GMT
