Tsk, not the right attitude teebee ;D Two mentions and pics of James/Fine/Brainiac in the Guide for next week. There is a new pic with Lex and it is wee, but can be seen at Kryptonsite Smallville Smackdown, about the dissolving friendship between Lex and Clark and crumbling relationship between Clark and Lana. "This week also marks the return of the enigmatic Milton Fine (played by James Marsters, above with Rosenbaum)." And in Men of Tomorrow, which features comic book characters. "Here comes trouble. Brainiac-in-the-making Milton Fine is bringing his bad self back to SMALLVILLE (WB, 8/7c) and that means Clark's breakup with Lana is the least of his concerns. 'Fine's first plan to get [General Zod] out failed,' says producer Al Gough of Fine's crusade to spring the jailed Kryptonian killer. 'This is Plan No. 2 ... much bigger with much greater consequences.'" Heads-up came from BAPS

Fans of WB's Smallville (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET) have long wondered when the friendship between Clark Kent and Lex Luthor would eventually crumble. The sizzling March 30 episode — "Hypnotic," the first new installment in six weeks — shows how the farm boy and the rich kid are evolving into the sworn enemies we recall from comic-book and screen lore. Lex's clandestine attempts to discover Clark's secrets — and uncover the lies Clark has told to protect them — have been mounting over five seasons. Now, "there's just complete mistrust between the two of them," says Tom Welling, who plays Clark.
The animosity intensifies this week when a sultry young woman named Simone hits town and puts Clark under her supernatural spell. "You find out that it's a scheme of Lex's to not only try to find out about Clark, but also to break up Lana and Clark," says executive producer Al Gough. In an ironic twist, because Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) is blackmailing Simone about a crime she committed, she hypnotizes Clark and sends him out to kill Lex!
Meanwhile, the Teen of Steel's once-idyllic relationship with Lana (Kristin Kreuk) has grown hopelessly strained. Clark's fears that she would not be able to accept his alien roots have been replaced by worries that Lana's life would be jeopardized by getting too close to him. (It's taken quite literally: Clark suspects supersex could be fatal to Lana.)
The result of Simone's spell, though indirect, is inarguable. "It leads Clark to finally do the heroic thing and break it off with Lana, because it isn't going to work [between them]," says Gough. And Ms. Lang's reaction? "She doesn't take it lying down. No, you're going to see Lana slightly unleashed as well. You know the old saying, 'Hell hath no fury....'"
Will rejection send Lana into Lex's arms? "You'll definitely see them getting closer toward the end of the season," Gough previews. "For that reason, Lex is being very open and honest with her, and after Clark, she finds that refreshing.
"Look, he's rich and he's sexy and there's always been an attraction between Lex and Lana," says Gough. "Whether or not she wants to admit it, Lana has always had some feelings for Lex."
Were the Smallville torment only limited to just this twisted triangle. Rather, the imminent return of James Marsters' Milton Fine (aka Brainiac) promises only more speed bumps for he who is faster than... you know. "Fine resurfaces in Honduras, and when Lex, who has been searching for him, finally comes across him, the question is, Who's playing who?" Gough teases. "Did Lex find him, or did Fine allow himself to be found?"
Whatever the case, the eventual net result can't be good for Clark. "Fine's first plan to get Zod out of the Fortress failed, so Plan No. 2" — which won't be fully revealed to Smallville viewers until the season's final two episodes — "is much bigger, and with greater consequences." Guide Insider ;D

Super whammy-whoa!
"Smallville" (8 p.m., WDWB-, Channel 20, WB). Holy hypnosis! Clark (Tom Welling) is bedazzled by a vixen named Simone (Nichole Hiltz), who puts a vamp voodoo spell on the future Superman with her magic jewel. Meanwhile, Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) gets word that Brainiac (James Marsters) is in Honduras and plans a confrontation. But wait, once daffy enchanted Clark reveals his secret powers to Simone, she orders him to kill Lex. Oh dear. Detroit Free Press

I actually got to watch some bits and pieces of tonight's episode. Mmmmm many Fiiines! ;D The scene with Clark & Lana breaking up was awfully familiar. Lana: I've climbed these stairs so many times before, why do they seem so much steeper than ever? Clark: Thanks for coming by. I didn't want to bother you at school. Lana: Clark, you can spare me the speech about how sorry you are. I know you were hypnotized, and I know that you weren't in control of your actions. Clark: I need to be honest with you. Lana: That would be refreshing. Clark: I don't know of any other way to say it, but the truth is my feelings for you have changed. Lana: Clark, I want you to look me in the eye, and tell me that you don't love me. Clark: I don't love you. Lana: I have waited for you to grow up and get over any hangups you may have. Clark: I never meant to hurt you. Lana: I don't want another Clark Kent apology. It's over. Forever. *runs off* Sounds like Angel and Buffy after the whole Angelus thing. Here's 3 screencaps. Sorry for the crappy quality and the damn words across the top... stupid network decided to do one of those "emergency system" tests during the show. 03-16_1.jpg03-16_2.jpg03-16_3.jpgOh and with the 2-Fines thing... there were more than 2! ;D Hard to tell since they were doing the blur-run off thing, but I think like 6 or so?

The promo pic of the spaceship showed more than two Brainiacs, Cy; three, possibly four. So we knew we were in for a treat ;D You talk about Clana but don't even mention the Fine/Lex stuf?! Girl, you're slipping! Don't tell me you missed their scenes?
