I have been eagerly anticipating this week's Smallville Episode for weeks now, solely for the fact that it features the beginnings of the Justice League: Clark, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Impulse (was supposed to be Flash but they got into legal crap so...), and Cyborg.
I was SO not disappointed. The action was riveting and the boys were (as usual) buffed up and shiny in their lovely costumes. What I did NOT expect, however, was all the slashy subtext between the Leaguers themselves. XD I mean, I'd seen hints of Clark/Impulse way back during his first appearance (season 4, episode 5), and then Clark/Green Arrow during the first half of the sixth season, but... wow.
I think it's actually possible to slash everybody with everybody here. It's like a regular prince of tennis episode where all the guys have more chemistry with each other than the women they profess to be in love with.
So goeth a conversation between Aquaman and Cyborg:
Aquaman: Dude, what took you so long?
Cyborg: *looks at roomfull of unconscious security guys* Nice... but please, put a shirt on.
Aquaman: I swim faster when I'm naked.
Cyborg: I bet you do.
Aquaman: You're lucky I still got my pants on.
I snorted water up my nose when I heard that, I swear to God. XD
