Thanks for sharing that. He's absolutely doing what he needs to do to get himself well, but you can definitely see the guilt he feels for letting down his fans and the people who have rooted his career on. I don't know if contract issues played any role in his departure, but it sounds like he's...

The logical choice would be to make it an HBO Max original. The question is whether the Discovery leadership will allow one of the big three DC heroes to be on a direct-to-streaming TV show instead of blockbuster feature films. Glad we're guaranteed one more season, at least. In other grim...

The whole Ally Allston storyline has been muddled, and this wrap up was no exception. The rules of the merge and of Ally's powers were never really clearly established, so it was hard to understand the stakes of what was going on. That being said, if you have a whole bunch of nonsense that...

Definitely glad we don't have another break after that cliffhanger. Appreciated the townspeople basically laughing Lana out of the room after listening to her outline the truth. Much like many Superman plots, it sounds completely ridiculous without the context leading up to it. Loved Superman...

The show's been hit with COVID delays quite a bit this season, but I also think there is an inherent strain in making a premium cable-caliber show on a CW schedule and budget. Especially with The CW on the verge of being sold, I think this show would be better off as an HBO Max original, where...

The merged Ally used plural pronouns to describe herself, so I'm thinking it's more of like both personalities coexist in some form than one personality erasing the other. I do think if he dies, he'll go out heroically. This show has a pretty sprawling cast, so if they want to consolidate...

I still really enjoy this show, but I'll be glad when the Ally Allston arc ends, presumably in the season finale. I get the broad strokes of what they're going for, but I've never been super clear on everybody's motivations: Why was Lois so sure Ally was evil before she had any evidence to...

Good to have this one back. One thing that struck me as odd about the pendants: The show has never been very interested in where they came from or how they were created. Given that they are not a natural phenomenon, it seems like that which was created once could be created again. I also wish...

How is John Henry's brain not just a mushy goop at this point? He's barely out of the hospital from a severe head injury, and now he gets a superpowered concussion here. I like that John Henry and Natalie have their own space with the old mechanic's garage, but I wish the show didn't keep them...

The ride on the bizarro Earth was even wilder than I expected, starting with the fact that the Earth and the (red) Sun are cubed. One of the key differences is that Bizarro Kal-El was evidently never raised by the Kents, so he didn't have their humility of their values. And yet, there has to be...

It helps that it has such a deep bench of characters at this point, all pretty well written and developed. Superheroes suffering a personal toll for keeping their identities secret is far from a new concept, but having three siblings dealing with keeping that secret is. On one hand, you see it...

Clark being the doppelganger of the man who killed Natalie's mother has been the elephant in the room all season. It was nice to see that addressed head on. It's a super-surreal circumstance, and it's understandable that just seeing Clark triggers her trauma even though he had nothing to do with...

It was gratifying that the show understood that Anderson had crossed lines that he couldn't come back from; some of the other Arrowverse shows have had a tendency to let bad people get away with doing bad things because the plot required it. Tal-Rho made a good point about Superman's trust in...

General Anderson's move at the end of this episode was catastrophically stupid, and I have trouble believing that the senior leaders of the Department of Defense would go along with it. Superman is a beloved figure around the world, and if news gets out about what Anderson has done, the United...

Tonight's episode eased a lot of my fears about the way this season is shaping up. Storylines that seemed disconnected started to converge, and the various storylines did a good job of building upon one another. I really enjoyed Sarah's quinceañera, and the pretty extreme highs and lows that...

So it looks like the "yellow mist" triggers one Kryptonian power on a temporary basis, but which power that is varies by person. The starting QB and Jonathan's girlfriend get superstrength, the girl Jonathan's girlfriend mentioned got super hearing, and Jonathan got the telescopic vision. In...

I liked this episode a lot. This show continues to find a compelling balance between the superhero stuff and the personal/local stuff. Yeah, all of the foreshadowing was definitely a red herring, but I do think what we'd seen better fits with than with . We know from the other Arrowverse shows...

Superman trusting that Tal-Rho had really been depowered was one of the first truly groan-worthy moments of stupidity on this show, which has mostly avoided the serial stupidity of the other Arrowverse shows. I did like getting more information about how the crystals work; they're basically...

Good to have this one back. The nice thing about the three month time jump is that it allowed the characters a period of normalcy. Smallville's settling back down again, even benefiting from the tourism that has resulted from last season's climactic battle, and Superman's well-publicized role...

Looking forward to the second season premiere tomorrow. The change of Superman's official slogan from "Trust, Justice, and the American Way" to "Trust Justice, and a Better Tomorrow" has been controversial, to say the least, but this show does a better job of most depictions of the character in...

The second season of the newest adventures of Superman (and family) will premiere at mid-season on the CW. Season 1 thread When we last left the Kent farm: Superman and Steel had teamed up to defeat the Kryptonian army, who had taken over the bodies of General Lane's soldiers. Lois freed her...
