YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Is all I can say about this episode. (Well, I can also say that once again, Smallville has totally left me with more questions than answers but that's usually par for the course with this show. I totally have a solution for it though: hey, less commercials and more, y' know, show. That way you can show more and not have it be Offscreenville. Seriously. There were like five-minute commercials every five minutes. I should know: I counted.)
This was actually a very fun episode to watch. I love how confused and hung-over they all were and it felt like a mystery show at the beginning with them trying to figure out what happened and how they all ended up in such weird, compromising positions. (I can understand Chloe ending up in the closet dressed like Madonna but I can't figure out how Oliver and Lois ended up on the train tracks. 0_o)
Also a few things:
While I was totally ecstatic and over the moon that Chloe and Oliver were the ones that ended up married (and not Chloe and Clark like the preview/promo led us to believe)...there is still the matter of Oliver being affected with the Omega symbol and...and...that's what's keeping me from totally enjoying this episode. (That and that the Chlollie scenes were totally squashed in at the last minute.)
Oliver Queen does not look good in drag. No, I don't care what you say, he does not.
I loved the Oliver/Lois scenes though. But that's mostly because Justin Hartley is so very awesome. And Erica Durance is very awesome herself. And while I've heard/read some Chlollie fans actually not care that much about the Lois/Clark scenes, I think they were awesome. (It's hard to not begrudge all the awesome screen time Clark/Lois get when you're a Chloe/Oliver fan, but I feel like Chlollie fans - and myself - have to remember that this is the Clark & Lois Show and not the Chloe and Oliver show.) And it's nice to see Lois not be so secure about her relationship with Clark. That sounds like a bad thing to say but it really shows a human side to Lois, the one that's not being the hard-hitting reporter who would do anything and everything to get her story. Meh. I think it just makes sense to show her being insecure too. (Clark has been shouldering the insecure, lost lonely boy position for over ten years now, I think, it's time we were showed someone else from the other non-superpowered side being insecure too.)
Emil and Tess were awesome too! I'm totally rooting for them now. Emil's torture scene, HOWEVER, was not fun. Putting someone's head in a vise or clamp or whatever the hell that metal thingy was was horrifying to see.
I also wish they included Zatanna and not just mentioned her with her special, magic roofied champagne. A complete waste of an awesome character.
But, really, the best thing of all about this episode? THE LEMUR. Not gonna lie.

I also stayed up until 4am last night/this morning watching the Empty Nest marathon the Hallmark channel had. I couldn't NOT watch it seeing as it was kinda, sorta a spin-off of The Golden Girls and I'm kinda weirdly in love with that show. (Seriously, why can't I find anyone else who loves it? Besides my mother that is. I know it's about four old women but they're four old women who totally ROCK.)

Man, I wish I cared to watch the Oscars just to see my celebrity boyfriend, James Franco, host (along with the awesomely lovely Anne Hathaway). They should totally be leads in a movie some day - they'd totally be hot.
