Annette O'Toole has traded in her acting cap to one of director. At least temporarily, we hope! According to playbill, Annette is directing the stage play 'Kunstler' now playing in Pace University, New York. Awesome!

When we last very briefly saw Lana in 'Smallville Season 11 #41', she had taken a superhero alias in a crusade against African warlords. Lois Lane had gone on assignment to the Congo for the Daily Planet to investigate this mysterious vigilante, the so-called Angel of the Plateau aka Lana Lang. It is there that Lois and Lana reconnect when Lana saves Lois's life!

Things really 'heated up' during last week's 'Beauty and the Beast' episode, "Playing with Fire!" Catherine and Vincent lying to each other and working apart - Not Good!  Catherine and Tess working together as partners - Very Good!  Lesson learned: Catherine and Vincent need to work together! In the wise words of J.T., "Imagine what you two can accomplish if you were actually working together!"

Also, Beast finds himself a new home or is it a mansion? This is were the fantasy in this show really shines because there is no way you would find an abandoned 'home' like that in New York! ;p Tonight, it appears we'll be seeing the green-eyed monster of jealousy surging through our 'Beast's' veins...this should be interesting lol In the meantime, enjoy the 'nicer' side of our beloved Beast in this great 'BATB' Comic page for 'Anniversary' from 'BATBnation'!
