Sniffs\_Markers and I go suckered in… mostly by Lex who is one of the most compellng characters we’ve seen on TV in ages.

He’s really fascinating to watch. Knowing he’ll become one of the ultimate evil badguy’s and yet he seems to have such a well adjusted moral compass in so many ways. Lex is the reason we watch the show.

That and I’ve always had a huge crush on Bo Duke.

:smack: Darn it! I committed the apostrophe sin. “Badguys.” No apostrophe necessary.

Can’t help it. Was all a’flustered thinking of Bo Duke.

Nice catch.

Watched the ep again tonight, and I again had a good chuckle over Clark’s acceptance of subliminal messages and hypnosis via email but skepticism about tracing emails via IP addresses.

I would like the show to improve, to move beyond just a showcase for the attractive actors, but given how recycled next week’s storyline appears to be, I don’t have much faith in that happening. Not this season, at least.
