Smallville
Smallville. Sure, the show is incurably sappy and terminally lame — but what is it about The WB and hot guys? — Michael Rosenbaum, who plays Lex Luther in the new Smallville (and who I thought was cute way back in the pathetic Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane), make my pulse race. Must be the chrome dome.
And wouldn’t you know it? I’m not the only one to pick up on the homoerotic flavor of the premiere episode. The slash fiction websites are inevitable…
You can always count on the MBTV forum folks for sharp analysis of homoerotic content of pretty much every show on the air. If any of the posters there start writing slashy fanfic, they’ll post a link to it in those forums, too.
