(S02E11) Many weeks ago (man, it's been a while since we've had a new episode) I shared my dream of a Dixie Carter-Vanessa Williams showdown. This week, Amanda visited a psychic played by another Designing Women cast member, the wonderful Annie Potts. So close! It's great to have Ugly Betty back, at least for now. The sad truth--that there are only two episodes left--is beginning to sink in. Who's panicking?

(S06E06) The "fallout" of the title refers to the Kryptonian trash Kal-El brought back with him when escaping from his (approximately five-minute) imprisonment in the Phantom Zone earlier. In a good opening sequence that sets up the villain, a winged-creature thing possesses the body of the first Earthling unfortunate enough to encounter it. He's played by Bow Wow. However, from there on in, this hour of television is especially talky.

Hey, I want more Green Arrow. Slinging arrows at Zoners would have made Ollie a pretty lame sidekick for Kal-El, I suppose, so I'll have to wait till next week. No matter, Zoner hottie Raya returns, bearing superpowers and many half-digested lumps of exposition about Jor-El and Krypton to pass alone. She speaks in a throaty, steady, monotone that's robotic, yet sexy: as if she studied elocution under Cylon Model #6.
