'Superman & Lois' : The CW TV Series

[Frontier]

I don't think it is necessary to be in Methropolis for the Daily Planet to work.

We live in a world with remote work, being connected through zoom.
They can still live in Smallville, although why besides it is hardly an idyllic life that the Kent family has.
I still find it ridiculous that Lois is working (and co-owner) of a smalltown newspaper.

Has anyone else noticed that they never do any work on the farm, but presto are able to grow a crop.
There was a huge stand of corn on the show this week.
Farmers are going under all the time, but I suspect the Kent's won't have their struggles.

Clark probably just does all the farmwork off-screen.

With his powers it's practically nothing.

[Captain Craig]

^^^^^
This. How long do you think it would take Clark to plow the fields at super speed with super strength and his years of being able to adequately measure how much of each to exert at any time?

Wide Open Spaces. No prying eyes, probably knocks it out in one night.

Cliff notes on it:

Bizarro eh? not the first time show people have lied to us or let our tendencies as fans to run with any bit of information and fill in plot gaps. Curious to see where it goes.

Jordan thinks he is in love. How cute. What is the over/under on how many episodes it is until Sara is tearfully returning the necklace or leaving it on the doorstep/mailbox/wherever for Jordan to find when they break up.

I think Lana will win the election and then her next story will be her desire to remain that down home, sweet well meaning person when the political machine comes for her and starts to chew her up.

Jonathon taking on X-Kryptonite...I wonder what the side effects will be, will it trigger his kryptonian genes or have some other negative side effects?

I like the show again, giving Clark problems that he just can't punch his way out of.

Assuming Lois will try and rescue Lucy from the cult lady and that will further keep the drama between the siblings.

Hopefully John Henry and Nat working on the suit will upgrade it and make it less like Master Chief fan fiction cosplay. I don't expect them to put the crest on the chest given what Superman means to them in this story, but I fully expect a better more streamlined suit.

I also think they DoD-men are going to get sent against Bizarro and get absolutely wrecked. And I am here for it.

I am really hoping Christie isn't that stupid and this is a trick by her and Lois?
Also wonder if they are going to make Ally a super villain parasite?

[tabo61]

Another awesome episode. That cult leader reminds me a little of Granny Goodness, Hmmmm....

[80sbaby]

Well she is already an emotional parasite.

[Kirby101]

Well she is already an emotional parasite.

Lois called her a parasite.
But Ally Allston is the Parasite in the DCU.

[Frontier]

"She's a Parasite!" There we go. ​

Honestly Ally feels more scary than Bizarro at times because she feels more real in as far as a cult leader who controls and manipulates people through words, almost like an evil Lois. And she's really hitting Lois where it hurts.

Heat breath! Bizarro has the reverse powerset like in the comics!

It seems like the psychic link between Bizarro and Clark is through the necklace, which seemed like it was absorbing Clark somehow. I wonder what they'll find out through it.

Points to Jordan for some minor crime-fighting even if he didn't take into account how a security camera might catch him. He has to be smarter, even if his heart is in the right place. Lucky he's got a grandpa with military resources that are a phone call away.

I have to admit I kind of wanted to see Sam in various post-retirement activities every episode.

I feel like Jon has better things to do than be snorting X-Kryptonite. Seems like he uses his newfound powers to smack his brother around in the next episode.

"Inverse" - like how Bizarro speaks in reverse? Are these "other selves" Ally talks about related to Bizarro World? Are people connecting to their Bizarro incarnations?

I want to feel sympathetic towards Lucy because I know she's been through a lot...but she's a real piece of work. Like blaming Lois for their mom leaving and Lois not taking it well (which she was well in her right to do), when it seems like Lois was more of a mother to Lucy than their own was, or selling her out on multiple occasions and acting like she has the moral high ground. Although I guess the original sin is that Lois didn't use the fact that she apparently did see something when she overdosed, Lois Lane obscuring the full truth for personal reasons.

I'm not sure how I feel about Chrissy going to Ally about Lois. I get she has trust issues but it feels like she stopped giving Lois the benefit of the doubt a while ago.

I think anyone could see where this plotline was going when Anderson insinuated the Supermen of America could take on Bizarro...and they then proceed to get taken out in a matter of seconds.

John Henry Irons may have sacrificed himself to back up Clark, but he gave Clark ample reason to finally cut loose and go all out on Bizarro. Not that it assuages Natalie any. I wonder how long John Henry is going to stay in the hospital? Will Natalie ever forgive Clark?

I get that Sam is an accomplished military guy who knows tactics...but is he really the right person to teach Jordan how to be a Superhero? I can only see him turning Jordan into a more militarized version of his dad.

I was wondering if the mayor was insinuating anything more, but it seems like Kyle had more than just a drinking problem...he actually had an affair. I don't see Lana or Sarah taking that well.

Strong themes and threads of doubling and dark mirrors in this season. Clark has Bizarro and Lois now has to face up to the darker parts of herself in Lucy. Ally Allston, if she does in fact become Parasite and drain/become people, will be a dark mirror of whoever she sucks dry. Even Jonathan taking the X-Kryptonite can be a dark foil for Jordan. This season looks to be all about the Dark Other and everyone facing up to what they could have been/could be if they made the wrong decisions. Clark gets to beat Bizarro to show us how it's done - he's the inspiration, the leader - and the other stories will follow after. Clark can't help them out of that darkness till he's conquered it himself.

So the arroverse has thier own verison of the supermen of america.
I knew they were going that going that way a few episodes ago.
Supermen of America | DC Database

The Supermen of America were a team of young heroes funded by Lex Luthor.

I wonder if Lucy was really seeing onto the other side.

[Kirby101]

I wonder if Lana was really seeing onto the other side.

You mean Lucy. I know, I would pretty much discount anything someone sees during a drug overdose as not being real. I know there are "other realms" in these shows. But Lois' reaction was that it was all in Lucy's head, which is the right one. It would be unethical to write in an article that drugs can lead you to "the other side"

I'm wondering if what she saw was Bizarro World, but that might give too much credence to Ally and Lucy almost dying.

[Kirby101]

It is a problem applying real world standards onto fantasy shows. That said, it looks like Ally is evil and not freeing people to "see the other side" she is either literally or figuratively feeding off them.
What Lucy is doing is not uncommon with people who have been warped by Scientology for instance.

[Captain Craig]

A really good episode again.

Jonathan on the X-K, as noted, could this jump start his Krypto genes? Or could it backfire and harm him?
Jordan, listen to gramps, you're going to let your heart hurt you and the family in ways you aren't ready for.
A little Tequila led to a a little(or a lot) of cheating by Kyle. You know they can't just drop that now, that reveal has to play out on a larger stage even if it is just for Lana.
Bizarro's first full episode was enjoyable and looking forward to seeing what else they do with him.
John Henry, I feel for him. He knew his suit had 10% power yet flew into danger (see Hero definition). Yet you feel for Natalie also.

This show just keeps delivering so far!
