Doomsday looked fantastic. And to me Nyssa has always shown strong romantic feelings for Seg since late last season. She even kissed him when she saved him from Brainiac. And when Seg and Lyta reunited again, Nyssa was obviously very jealous.
Any way, the show hit a season low, sadly. I'm preparing for the worse. Please watch it online or on demand asap.

I'm not surprised. I know of several people who decided not to watch because they are unhappy Lyta returned in the last episode. I told them this week was great but all save one refused to watch the show now that Lyta has returned. Bringing back Lyta was a HUGE MISTAKE, IMO. She is a very unlikable character.

Most of the unlikable stuff was done by her clone. Only really shitty thing she did was shoot her mom, which she regrets and paid dearly for. Originally Posted by Celgress

Krypton is pulling a Lana Lang (the Smallville version) with Lyta as Seg's love of his life...

I figured as much. I wasn't a fan back then, so I won't be now. There's nothing wrong with Seg loving Lyta, it's lingering too long on that particular arc that annoys me. Krypton doesn't have the benefit of high ratings and 8 more seasons in the tank to flesh out the whole story. This ploy seems wasteful to me and bringing Jor-El into the equation this soon is reductive. And the added dreaded triangle smacks of writer manipulation that I just don't have the patience for (I never have, even when Smallville first aired). Originally Posted by stargazer01

My friends feel the clone thing was a "cheap out" so Lyta could remain untarnished by recent events, can't say I disagree. Originally Posted by OpaqueGiraffe17

The triangle trope is unnecessary and hurts the show, IMO. Originally Posted by rpmaluki

This is true. Originally Posted by Celgress

Today, if viewers grow frustrated over something, they simply drop a show and many never look back. Krypton cannot afford that at this stage. They need to pick a lane and stick to it whether it's about Seg, Superman's grandfather or Seg, Zod's father. There'd be no shame in doing the latter without bringing Superman into the equation.Last edited by rpmaluki; 08-10-2019 at 02:31 PM.

It has been my least favorite aspect since the beginning. It receives far too much airtime. Originally Posted by rpmaluki

It's still hard for me to accept the connection but then they needed a hook and they went with the most soap opera-ish they could find. And now we must see where it goes. Originally Posted by Celgress

My feelings exactly. I just don't think it's right that Seg hasn't noticed how much Nyssa cares about him. He seems to ignore it and it's so annoying because they have a son together, plus the way he acts with Lyta in front of Nyssa makes him look like a teen in love ugh. Other than that, I'm fine with the rest of the story, it's just the love triangle here that bothers me a lot. Originally Posted by rpmaluki

I did think it would of been bold if they killed Lyta off for good. When it turned out Lyta was still alive it felt a little like a cop out for me. Originally Posted by Celgress
