Next Post is # 125, and a word or two about Smallville

Nothing special planned for it, but Wow! did we ever go from 100 to 125 fast!

On a completely unrelated note, Green Arrow is appearing every week on Smallville this season. When I heard about it, back in the summer, I thought it sounded silly. But the writers have actually pulled it off surprisingly well. They've brought billionaire Oliver Queen, the secret ID for Green Arrow, from Star City to Metropolis, and established him as a childhood nemesis and current business rival of Lex Luthor. He's not exactly a straight-laced character, but then again he's not written that way in the comics, either. They're making him a much more complex and interesting character than most of the people around him (exception: Lois Lane). Good on the writing staff for injecting some new life into the show!

I like him very much.

He's an interesting guy....I thought he'd just be a straight good guy with secret identity but his bullying of Lex as quite shocking.
