* The Lois and Clark stuff was absolutely on point! Lois in particular, after a slow start, is inching more and more into feeling like she's going through some stuff like everyone else on this show. Getting more on her life with Sam, and how it's leaking into her life with her husband and kids was a nice surprise.
* The "argument" between Lois and Clark was handled so well, and so legit. I've honestly had similar "arguments", so the whole thing damn near made me blush.
* That's for sure Subjekt's landing in the opening.
* Sure it was minor, but I'm sorry, Jordan's "he's been popular, he'll be fine" thing when talking about his brother was a legit dick move especially when juxtaposed with Jon who when he isn't actively trying to keep his brother safe and happy is also looking out for other people on the team who look like they may be going through something. And he's doing this all while having his life uprooted and hardly making a fuss about it. Jordan's comment would've felt more sympathetic if Jon weren't such a stand up kid basically all the time.
* The school for gifted teens is totally going to be 7734.
* X-Kryptonite is almost assuredly how Jon gets his powers (not so subtlety hinted at with "this town is my kryptonite"). And I imagine it'll be a drug metaphor, and that'll be compelling sure, but also so sad because the kid is just so nice and helpful. Guessing the X-Kryptonite will awaken his latent genes (likely in a REALLY big way), he'll get taken to stay with Sam and the other kids, become Sam's "good solder" Superman, and likely clash with Jordan.
* As a bonus, Jon going away to join a team full of militarized super teens functions as a grounded version of him leaving for the Legion. Honestly, since Crisis changed thing, this may be the new origin for the Legion? "Inspired by Superman" in the sense that they're gathered to take him down if need be, but also using Jon as its example and possible leader (him going back to being the popular "star athlete" and team leader he was). A grounded and twist on the two old and new versions.
All in all, each new episode becomes my new favorite, and the show just keeps building. I'm just bummed out that they're making Jon such a great kid in part to show his fall (most assuredly not a forever thing, but still sucks).
