Krypton on Syfy

[Jackalope89]

I like how Zod is very sincere on saving Krypton.

Even if it means he rules it with an iron fist. Something which grandma doesn't seem too keen on.

I feel for Kem.

Me too. Man; Brainiac is ruthless! Poor Ona. Kem should've took her when he had the chance.

[Emperor-of-Dragons]

I was wondering while watching the episode, it would be ruthless if something tragic happened to Ona, like getting hit with those disintegrating laser rifles, but holy **** they did far worse!

Brainiac look's awesome

So, General Zod is Superman's uncle then?
Didn't see that coming.

[Immortal Weapon]

I like Zod being Superman's Uncle. It adds an interesting wrinkle to their complex relationship.

[Frontier]

It also makes him and Jor-El brothers (or half-brothers?), so it potentially gives them a kind of Cain and Abel dynamic...

Where does that leave Zor-El? Being Cain was his thing.

Well, I guess he'll have to deal with having third-child syndrome now .

I guess he's still got being Supergirl's dad, but that doesn't seem as important as Superman's existence.

Eh...
I kind of suspected this when we first found out General Zod's mother and Seg were getting it on. I don't full on hate it, but I just don't really find myself a fan of it.

Yes, definitely.



And Zod being Superman's uncle is taken from Superman: Earth One Vol 3 where he's known as Zod-El.

[Madam-Shogun-Assassin]

I wonder will the DCEU keep this chilling interpretation of Brainiac, or will they tone him down for their movies?

Probably expand on him. Bigger budget and what not. I could legit see it being a quasi-horror film with him.

Well, the only time I have seen Zor-El as an antagonistic figure to Jor-El was in Smallville. Most of the times that I have read them, they are on good terms.


This episode feels like a season finale. But I still want to know if Brainiac always has to do all these things whenever he captures a city, or if this is a special case because Kandor has a lot of problems and he wanted to create order among people, in order to keep his future bottled city safe for his collection.

[Zero Hunter]

The thing with Zod being the uncle of Kal El is not set in stone though. Everything he is doing is trying to alter time, and he has already created a wedge between his mother and Seig. In trying to save Krypton he may be driving his parents apart before he is even concived. We could be watching a few episodes down the line and Zod could just fade out or they could switch actors to show that the time line was altered.
