Lois on the picket lines with John Henry Irons and the OG Jonathan:

I'm assuming that I agree that it seemed fitting, for the reasons you stated. There were two questions that leaped out at me this episode, however:

On one hand, I'm definitely glad that we're getting another season after that doozy of a cliffhanger. On the other hand, while some of the characters' exits are set up in this finale, none of them are really in a position to just be gone altogether in the next season premiere, especially since...

There's an interesting directness to this version of Lex Luthor. He sees an objective, and goes straight at it. That's an unexpected change of pace from the usual depiction as a schemer. It seems pretty clear that he's going to try and use the resurrected Superman from the bizarro world to kill...

Given that all of the Smallville-based series regulars have been dropped outside of Clark and Lois's immediate nuclear family, it seems like it would make more sense for them to relocate than to explain why everybody else is relocating. I like the whole cast, and I'm sorry to see any of them...

He was the most obvious choice to cut. Sam Lane is mostly involved on the Superman side, and if they're scaling back the Superman side due to budget cuts, there's less need for a DoD liaison. On top of that, Dylan Walsh is the biggest name actor on the show, so he's probably the most expensive...

Excellent, and surprising, news. I would have figured the show was too expensive for The CW's new ownership. And 10 episodes isn't that much shorter than the first three seasons, which all ran between 13 and 15 episodes. If the fourth season is going to be the last, I hope Warner Bros. and the...

I thought this was a really strong conclusion to the Bruno Mannheim/Onomatopoeia arc. Every major character was testing, and the better angels of their natures prevailed. I really loved the kindness that Superman displayed in this episode. He could save Pia, but he could be there with her at...

And I don't think that was the wrong decision necessarily. But family members keeping secrets from one another, even for a good reason, usually results in tension and conflict. That's a good question. I would guess that the Joint Chiefs know, the Secretary of Defense knows, and the President of...

I found myself thinking last night that while Sarah is far from the first girl with a clingy ex-boyfriend, most of them don't have super-strength and heat vision. But despite their dust up, it rang true to me that Sarah kept Jordan's secret. After all, she would have died if he hadn't...

It's interesting watching John Henry sort of revert back to who he was when we first met him at the beginning of the series. The darkness doesn't feel entirely out of left field, because we've seen it from him before. Now he has a whole support system with his daughter and the DoD and the Kent...

Another really strong episode, even without any Superman scenes. I continue to love the way the various stories intersect: Chrissy runs into Lana and her girls at the diner, which kicks off one story. Lana runs into John Henry at the grocery store, which kicks off another story. Lana's chatting...

I really like the symmetry between Superman and Bruno Mannheim this season. They're basically on the same journey, but from opposite directions. I figured out that the chemo patient who took Lois to lunch was Bruno Mannheim's wife when she was able to get a table right away despite a two week...

Another strong one tonight. One of the most crucial attributes for a good reporter is the ability to actively listen and to incorporate new information into their understanding of a situation. We saw that with both Clark and Lois in this episode. Clark understood that the two other women...

I really love how the characters communicate on this show. When Lois and Clark have a disagreement, they state their positions clearly and when they make mistakes they take accountability for it. Lois broke a promise to John Henry, and she took responsibility for that even though it wasn't the...

It seemed pretty clear to me even in the first season that Smallville was within day trip distance from Metropolis, but I don't think Smallville is practically a suburb of Metropolis like it was on "Smallville". I would guess that it's the nearest major metropolitan area, but still a few hours'...

There was something that rang really true to me about the fact that, in an episode with Kryptonite cannons and massive buildings exploding, the greatest challenge was getting Lois to show up for her chemo appointment. On one hand, it feels like a cheat that the epic shot of the Daily Planet...

I kind of like that they're balancing out the very comic book-y threat of Mannheim and Onomatopoeia with the grounded threat of cancer, which is probably scarier to all involved. I found myself wondering about the cost, too; They've been living on the money they made selling their house in...

Good to have this one back. The Jonathan casting was pretty seamless; the American accent Michael Bishop is using on the show sounds almost identical to Jordan Elsass's speaking voice, and they look pretty similar (although Bishop looks more like Hoechlin, Tulloch, and Garfin than Elsass did)...

Reminder: The third season premieres tonight at 8/7c.

Not as long as I'd like to see the show run, but better than I expected given the leadership changes at both DC and The CW in recent months. While we probably won't get a Season 5, it sounds like we might get a Season 4.

Season 3 Trailer:

There's no way "Superman & Lois" gets a fourth season on The CW. Nexstar is putting a $1 million/episode cap on what it's willing to pay for content, and "Superman & Lois" is probably the network's most expensive current show. The best bet for another season after the upcoming one is jumping to...

I don't see this show staying on The CW past the upcoming third season. It either gets moved to HBO Max or its successor, or it gets canceled to clear the field for Henry Cavill to return as the silver screen Superman.

The third season of the newest adventures of Superman (and family) will premiere at mid-season on the CW. Season 1 thread Season 2 thread When we last left the Kent farm: It was confirmed that "Superman & Lois" takes place on a different Earth in the multiverse than the Arrowverse, where...
