I have decided.........by Rebekah Walton



I have decided to stop watching American tv shows. Instead, I will be only watching British, Aussie, Kiwi (mostly they have reality so very little I want to watch), and Canadian.

 I will changing fully over to these when Psych and White Collar end but for now I am going to sstop watching all the rest of the tv shows I have been watching that are American.

Victorious is ending,( so I really don't even have to give up that,) Good Luck Charlie (really not as entertaining, I was only watching for Gabe anyway.), Icarly ( I have stopped watching since 5th season), Jessie, Austin and Ally, Pair of Kings (I have stopped watching since Brady left), Baby Daddy ( All I have to do is watch music videos and clips on youtube to see when Danny and Riley will finally get together.), Shake it up, Ant farm, Lab Rats,and Covert Affairs( third season is going to be too dramatic anyway) I have given all these up.

Frankly, I don't think it will be a huge deal. I am finding slowly but surely that almost every other country has better plots for their tv shows than we do.

These shows I have already begun or finished watching that aren't American: H20: just add water ( I ignore the third season like most of it didn't happen), Cybergirl, Sherlock ( I will review this later), Elephant Princess, Blue Water High ( I have only watched the third season so far), Connor Undercover ( only Canadian tv show so far), and Jane Eyre (British tv show).

I will start watching these shows most likely: Mako Mermaids ( Secret of Mako Island)(they added a merman it's got to be funny), Legend of the Seeker(maybe), Packed to the Rafters, Slide (unsure about this one really) that's all for now that I know. I haven't really gone through the Bristish or Canadian tv shows list yet.

Lena or Lexana in Smallville (Spoilers for Seasons 5 and 6) by Rebekah Walton



Lex Luthor and Lana Lang. I do not really like this couple or understood this couple. But to be fair to the fans that like this I never really saw any episodes with any couple moments. They do actually get married and Lana Lang becomes Lex's third wife. Personally, I can't decide if she was a worse wife than the first one. But that is just because I get annoyed with Lana Lang easily. I even felt sorry for Whitney. Why did so many guys fall in love with her? Clark, Whitney, and Lex Luthor and many more. But with Lex Luthor the case is different. He has lost the wife he loved Helen,(yes, I know that was a few seasons ago, but really not much time has past he is not over her yet. I believe he never will be.) and here comes a girl who he has know for quite a time and sometimes she reminds him of Helen. (In some cases in pictures I found she even looks like Helen. It is scary.)






I really shouldn’t be writing about this. I don’t like Lexana. Just to make it clear what this is like to non fans of Smallville, imagine Dr.Who…with…. no, wait people like her. Imagine Tori with…. No, wait people like him with her. Imagine  Huh! Imagine a girl you find really annoying with a really smart funny guy. That is what it is like to myself and my siter.

Really, I believe Lex deserves better than her. The only thing I can really say about this couple that is good I that their couple name sounds good. Lexana is a very acceptable sounding couple name. I would like to say mre positive things about this couple but I can’t. In fact, I am not sure really why she left the marriage. Did he beat her? Was he mean to her? Huh! Lex has always seemed to have a sprt of respect for women in the sense that even when women creeped him out he just  wants to help them. He was just very nice to women and girls.


He also loved his mom when she ws still alive. I can’t imagine him actually getting mad at a woman and yelling at her or beating her. (The only time where he really got upset to a point  was  when he was with Helen and he still did not really yell or beat her.) Anyway, I actually was looking up Lana photos a few days ago and I found this picture and I compared it to one of Helen’s pictures.
Lana Lang
vs
Dr. Helen Bryce



That is frightening that they look alike. Also watch the proposal  of Lex to Helen, Helen's hair should look Lana's hair down.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_EoLfrWawU

Which brings up to me many thoughts of the fact that Lex is morning over his wife Helen still and finds Lana who looks similar sometimes to Helen his second wife. Wow! That is in itself really sad. Lex didn’t really love Lana for Lana, he loved Lana because she (this is just my theory, remeber.) looked like Helen his second wife. (I know, Helen has been gone for a few years but Lex did truly love Helen and is certainly not over her in Season 5.)Of course then he want to marry her. Of course, he would then fake she was pregnant with his child. 

Well, after that long intro I will give a summary of their relationship and leave some links as always.
Summary:
Lex and Lana have been friend for a while, or at least Lex approved of Clark going after Lana in Season 1-4 ish. 

In Season 5, a lot of traumatizing stuff brings the two of them together and Lex starts to fall in love with Lana. 
In fact, as we see in an Alternate Universe, Lex marries Lana and they have two kids when Lana dies tragically.

 In real life, Lex and Lana become closer until in Season 6, Lex fakes that Lana is pregnant and the two of them get married. 

Not long after she find out she wasn't pregnant.  

Lana then begans to manipulate Lex into continuing to trust her but finally declared her love for Clark and told Lex that she had known about the fake baby and was leaving him. Shortly afterwards, Lana's car exploded and Lex was arrested for murder.

{Updated July 25, 2017}

After watching their romance in Smallville, I have grown to be okay with them as a couple. Lex does seem to like Lana sincerely and I love the alternate universe episode where he has two kids.

I understand the fans of this shipping and I agree with them it can be quite cute. Lana may not be good enough for Lex or even better than Dr. Helen Bryce but, Lex seems to be attached to her anyway and I can't get past that.

With Lex, I am of the opinion that had Lana stayed they would have become a powerful couple, I am not sure whether they would have been evil or good but, I think he would have started to include her in his plans and they would have ruled the world together.


Chlark in Smallville by Rebekah Walton

Chole and Clark. She has had a crush on Clark since the pilot episode. But despite that they only get together like twice throughout the episodes and seasons. This is incrediblily weird since Chloe loves Clark for almost 4 seasons straight. I used to really like this couple, and most of the time you feel pretty depressed for her. Frankly, I believe she deserves someone a lot better than Clark, so any other guy that she is friends with is a potential shipping.Not to mention, I became a huge fan of Calicia.

This is a summary of their shipping with spoilers from seasons 1 -10:


Clark and Chloe are friends who first met in eighth grade when Chloe moved from Metropolis.
It was a poorly-kept secret that Chloe has been in love with Clark in some varying degree since they met. Clark has admitted that he has thought about pursuing a romantic relationship with her. [1] Towards the end of their freshman year, Clark and Chloe attended the Spring Formal as a couple, but it was interrupted by a tornado. Shortly afterward, Chloe declared that they should just remain friends, to which Clark agreed.
As one of the first people to learn Clark's true origins, Chloe has become Clark's closest friend. Clark knows he can count on Chloe any time he needs her. [2] However, in Season 9, Clark's reliance on Chloe and trust in Chloe's instincts shifted drastically after the traumatizing aftermath of his battle with Doomsday.

 He stopped sharing intimate details of his life with her and they seemed to be more perfunctory than anything else. However, they finally resolved their differences towards the end of the season and gradually rebuilt their friendship. He is normally protective of her and her safety and has saved her life many times.
When Chloe got engaged to Jimmy Olsen in 2008, she and Clark acknowledged that some things would change between them, but Clark stated that he would accept whatever changes necessary because her happiness was one of the most important things in the world to him. (Plastique)
Here is a list of video links for the shipping:

As you can probably tell by the number of videos this is a very common shipping on youtube.

Calicia in Smallville * Spoilers for Season 3 and 4* by Rebekah Walton

    For those of you wondering why I put Spoilers in the title when the tv show has ended, it is for those who hope to one day watch the show or haven't gotten that far and don't want to be told. This is one of my favorite couples on the show.

I will basically give you a summary of what happens between Clark and Alicia. I will also list a number of fan fictions to read about this shipping and youtube videos made on this couple. Stop reading if you don't want to know about any episodes in Seasons 3 4 or 5.

 Summary: Alicia Baker Commonly known as the first Mrs. Clark Kent or Mrs. Alicia Kent although as it turns out their marriage in episode Unsafe was not legal. She first appears in Obession,Clark and Alicia met while on an economics field trip to LuthorCorp Plaza.

While inside an elevator, the cable snapped and Clark had to stop it. Alicia saw him use his heat vision to destroy a security camera and super-strength to break through a panel to grab a steel support, his hand acting as a brake.

She was shocked and Clark asked her not to tell anyone, and as people started to approach the elevator to see if anyone was hurt, she used her own secret ability to teleport them both out of the elevator and to safety. She in turn asked him not to tell her secret to anyone.

 Alicia and Clark talked about their powers at school before class and later on he tried to ask her out on a date, but got nervous so she asked him out instead. After the date, they talked about how they were different. He dropped her off at her house and they almost kissed, but Clark was too shy and backed off. She went inside and teleported up to her room and watched him drive away. But Alicia becomes obsessed with Clark.

When Clark discovered that she hurt her father, he asked her to turn herself in. She teleported away and he got Chloe's help to set a trap. He painted a room with lead paint out of which she could not teleport, but she used meteor rock against him and escaped. She headed to the Talon to stab Lana to death, but Clark stopped her in time, covering her in lead paint, and neutralizing her abilities. She was sent to Belle Reve for rehabilitation.

 Season 4

 Alicia was taken to Belle Reve where she was treated by Dr. William McBride, who later released her, but with a special bracelet that prevented teleporting. She immediately came to visit Clark, wanting to prove that she was better.

 He was wary at first, and she apologized for hurting him before. His parents were also worried that she was let out of Belle Reve, and suggested he stay away from her. Clark got Chloe to hack into Alicia's medical file, and discovered that she was diagnosed with Histrionic personality disorder, but was cured.

Clark and Alicia reunited and went on a date where she saw Dr. McBride watching her. He told her to stay away from Clark or he'd have her committed again. Alicia was unable to face the stigma of what she had done before her treatment and decided to run away.

She asked Clark if he wanted to come with her, and he thought she was kidding at first. When he realized she was serious, he told her he couldn't just leave town. After all he has a life here and her too. Alicia decided to take matters into her own hands and broke into the Torch office where she found a red kryptonite ring and used it to make Clark a necklace.

 She asked him to wear it for her before she left for California (saying she wouldn't teleport, but that she had her parents' car outside). He agreed and put it on, immediately changing into his Kal persona.

 Clark asked her to marry him. And right away, she said yes in happiness. He broke off her bracelet and they teleported to Las Vegas, getting "married" in a low-rated wedding chapel and renting a hotel room to consummate their marriage.

 Before they did, however, Alicia removed the necklace, deciding she wanted "all of Clark", not just the bad boy. He immediately snapped out of it and began to argue with her, claiming that she 'drugged him'. He also argues that the ring "makes me do things I don't want to do," while she counters that it simply releases him of inhibitions. She says that it was him all along, claiming that "Clark Kent brought me up to this room to make love to me."

This appeared to sway Clark for a moment, until he said that "Clark Kent made a mistake." She teleported away before he could stop her. Clark returned to Smallville to find her. Dr. McBride confronted Clark and blamed Clark for ruining his "greatest achievement", planning to frame him for stalking Alicia, kidnapping her, and forcing her to marry him. He pulled a gun on him, but Alicia showed up in time to stop the bullet from hitting Clark.

Clark pushed Dr. McBride out of the way and asked Alicia why she took the bullet, since it wouldn't have hurt him. She replied by saying that she was honoring her promise to protect his secret. As she was recuperating in the hospital, she apologized to Clark, saying she just didn't want to lose him. He told her he wanted her "with or without that rock." He returned her broken lead bracelet and left. Later, she visited him in his loft and he was happy to see her wearing her bracelet. She thanked him for helping her "be a better person" and told him that even though they couldn't be together, she still had feelings for him and would never tell anyone his secret.

She told him she loved him and walked away, but he caught her and she broke down crying in his arms. Back together, Clark took Alicia to the Talon on karaoke night. Everyone stopped and stared and Lana was hurt that Clark would date her after she tried to kill her. Alicia asked Lana to give her another chance, but Lana walked away. When Lana was later attacked by an invisible predator, everybody believed it to be Alicia. Clark defended her and claimed she was with him at the time of the attack and that she was wearing her lead bracelet.

 He later discovered that she had stopped wearing her lead bracelet, saying she didn't think she needed it. She felt not being able to use her powers felt like being in prison. She swore she hadn't attack Lana. When Jason Teague was attacked in his car, Alicia's green scarf was found around Jason's neck. Clark couldn't ignore the evidence and became suspicious of Alicia.

He confronted her and asked her to turn herself in and she argued with him, telling him if people knew about his secret, they might suspect him, too. He asked her to at least explain it to the sheriff, she agreed, but only if he also exposed his powers, too.

He told her he could not do that and she simply teleported away. Alicia visited Chloe Sullivan at the Torch and arranged a "demonstration" for her and exposed her to Clark's superhuman abilities, unbeknownst to him. Alicia returned home to find another student, Tim Westcott, rummaging through her things "looking for evidence" to plant, intending to frame her for his next murder. He drugged her and killed her before Clark could find her to apologize for not believing her.


Clark found her hanging from a beam in her barn. He burned through the rope with his heat vision, but to his horror, she was already dead. Clark located and eventually overpowered Tim in a grief-stricken rage, and attempted to strangle him. However, Lois Lane begged him before he killed Tim, and he eventually relented. Clark felt immense guilt over the fact that he didn't trust or believe her. He felt he should have gone with her to reveal his secret so people wouldn't have judged her and she might still be alive. He later visited her grave to say goodbye, and was consoled by Chloe.

Clark is very depressed and doesn't eat or really move from his place in the barn for over a number of days.

 Check out more on Youtube or watch the episodes!

Helex or Hex vs. Lena or Lexana vs. Chlex

       These are main couples I have seen with Lex Luthor.

 I will discuss each one seperately but for now I will just do an overview of them.


 Lex Luthor despite being the ''evil guy'' ( I will discuss this later if I get a chance.) in the series, is well liked in the fan clubs and sites and a lot of people ( at least on fan fiction) like him with Chloe but a second to that is Lana. (I actually thought the more popular couple was Lana and Lex but it looked it up on fan fiction and they had only 72pages and Chloe and Lex had 269 pages.)

(But my sister pointed out that both Lex and Chloe are the smartest people in the show and so of course everyone likes them together. Which makes sense but on youtube it looks like Lana and Lex are more popular.So, I reccommend that the Chlex fans make more videos.)

( Start a Chlex week or something and have all fans do a video that week. Anyway, I also had a strong hunch that Chlex was more popular because of the number of Clana fans (Clark and Lana), so I looked it up on fan fiction.net.The number of fan fictions on Clana are 287 so that could be the answer why people like Lex with Chloe.)

 I really have never understood the shipping between Lana and Lex but that was mostly because I haven't watched any of the episodes really past 4th season.

 (In 5th season they get married, I believe.) (So, to be fair I haven't really seen any couple moments between the two.) Except if we count when Lex offered to have Lana keep Whitney's horses at his stables.

 Which really did not count because we only heard about it not saw it. Anyway, on to discussing the main couples in short detail. Or when Lex teaches Lana to defend herself.


      Helex or Lelen or Len or Hex ( I have no clue what the most popular couple name is.)-A smart doctor lady who is funny and Lex Luthor. I think this is the coolest couple.









Lexana- The love of Clark's teenage years and Lex Luthor Least favorite, but I don't mind this couple really. I could read fan fics on this and watch videos. (I use to be annoyed with this couple, but not so much now.)









Chlex-The girl who had a crush on Clark and Lex Luthor. Second favorite.







I will discuss each of these in later posts.

Calicia, Clana, Chlark, or Clois by Rebekah Walton

There are others but theses I believe (if I am wrong tell me) are the most common shippings of girls with Clark. I will discuss each one separetly later in more detail but for now, I am going to do an overview of each shipping and of course my personal opinion on which is the best. Calicia- science geek who teleports and Clark Kent. I generally prefer this couple abve the rest (Yes, I am a Calicia fan.)



Clana- the love of Clark's teenage years and Clark Kent. I don't really like this couple at all.( I will definitely explain why later.)




Chlark- the girl who crushes on Clark and Clark Kent. This is my second favorite.
Clois- the girl who finally gets Clark and Clark Kent. This is my third favorite. ( Only in Smallville it my first favorite outside of Smallville.)








I will explain why I think this way in later posts.

Smallville: Why is it a addicting Tv show by Rebekah Walton

      Yes, I am an avid fan of Smallville. For those of you who don't know that is a live action tv show about Clark Kent/ Superman (for those of you people too lazy or don't care enough to look it up on Wikipedia.) It is not really an intriguing plot, infact, most people can predict what will in almost every single episode. But despite all that there are many reasons why some people are so addicted to this show and why it lasted 10 seasons (I am not kidding, it lasted 10 seasons.)

 Some people watched it for the comedy (which there was in the show but certainly not enough to last through 10 seasons).

   Others watched for certain actors( my sister was one of them, the one who likes Twilight not the Austenite.).

     Still others (me included) watched it because we were bored and it had a lot of love drama that made us want to watch it to find out who will get together with who.

      Some of us liked side characters and watched it just for them and others were watching only because they loved the tv show theme song.

       Some of us watched it when it first came out others of us watched it all last year. But no matter when you started or why you continued at least for a number of seasons (maybe not the whole thing) we were all fans of it.

    (Except for the people who were not.) But for those of us that were let us remember why we started and the things we liked about it even if we hated everything else. Here are some pictures to bring us back to the good old times of the first seasons.











Here is a link to the theme song:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W_0E1QRx84

P.S. For those who were wondering it is bascially a superhero soap opera.
