The Return of Tigh’s Eye!! (Smallville Spoilers)
So, I re-watched a bunch of BSG episodes while I was drugged, and once again I was struck by how Colonel Tigh’s eye did more work than many other full-bodied actors. And I was pleased and surprised to see Michael Hogan playing Slade Wilson in last night’s Smallville episode … though his character wasn’t exactly like the Slade Wilson I know and love. Not that I care — no one on Smallville is like their comic-book counterpart — but it would have been nice if *something* had been similar.
Well, by the end of the episode I got my wish … and it was like a total BSG fan-service moment at the same time. Check it out:
Ha ha! I can’t wait to see the acrobatics his eye performs in the “Icarus” episode. Whee!
(Yes, I’m still watching Smallville. Yes, I’m ashamed!)

Ain’t nothing to be ashamed of 🙂 — and I emitted a fanboi squeal as well when I saw the eyepatch 🙂

@Valerie: Me, too 🙂
@Ben: I am definitely LESS ashamed these past few seasons than I was a few years ago … probably because of one reason: LANA. God, I hated that character, and how every plot and relationship dynamic seemed to revolve around the Clark/Lana pairing, to the detriment of Clark’s growth.
Whereas Lois seems to push him toward being Superman, Lana just seemed to get into the way.

You are so right — and these past seasons the stories have actually been quite heroic in nature. This season, especially!
