So, er, the writers must know....

Just watched Smallville. Episode 'Red', aka Clark gets hit by red meteor rock which makes him lose his inhibitions and basically act like a normal teenage boy. So, there was much drooling, giggling, worship of Lionel and Lex and telling Lana to piss off. A fairly okay Smallville ep, but not up with the absolute greats.

Except. And this is a big except. Smallville has the rep for massive amounts of HoYay. Massive amounts. A show that has a 'Gayest Look of the Episode' thing. So, we watch the usual hoyay and then... Clark and Lex's scene where Clark asks to borrow the Ferrari. I had my mouth open for the whole thing. Literally.

First Lex blatantly checked Clark out. Camera as his eye. Then the rest of the scene? Nothing but blatant, playful flirting. It seriously couldn't be construed as anything else. The writers couldn't have been writing anything else.

And lo, there was an impression of a goldfish by yours truly.

The writers have to know. This isn't subtext, it's out and out text, really. The scene in Red a blantant example of text.gb
