Here's Derek's latest Smallville fiver: "Splinter." Oddly, it's not about mutant rats.


Now, about the Hallowe'en event... the conclusion was meant to be IJD's Alien Resurrection and my The Ring 2. Unfortunately, both of us have run into problems. With him it's lack of time, and with me it's something more elemental: fear. I'm having no luck getting through The Ring 2. Despite being as spoiled as possible, I can't even make it to Samara's first appearance. I could write the fiver "blind" (transcript-based), as I've done before with some VOY episodes, but it feels wrong now for some reason.


So rather than drag this thing out any further, I'm declaring the Hallowe'en event over. Both my fiver and IJD's will be along as soon as possible, but I'm not making anything else wait for them. (With luck, removing that pressure will help.) Thus we're back to the Smallville event, and when that's done... well, that'd be telling.
