    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Well, I (for one) would like to see it continue, but I'm not sanguine about the current version of the CW being willing to spend the money to make it worthwhile.

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Yup. But you never know. My wife and I both watched and enjoyed the British supernatural crime drama The Rising that they ran during the summer, so I'm open to watching any imported shows that look interesting.

    Well, that episode was a nut-buster. On edit: Sorry, I hit post before adding the spoiler tag.

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Given that (a) the WGA strike has been going on a month and a half now, and (b) how long it took the CW to announce the renewal, I doubt that the terms were ironed out before the writers stopped work. So, basically, anything they already had cooking would likely be based on what they were...

    I wouldn't expect them to yet. Until the writers' strike is over, the scripts won't be ready for casting yet.

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Which was Deborah Joy LeVine's original intent for Lois & Clark back in the 90s. But viewers wanted more Superman, and it was clear that the ABC believed that making it more about Superman and Lois show rather than about Clark and Lois was the way to go. So LeVine was pretty much sidelined after...

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    The only complaint my wife and I had about this episode was the description of the procedure at the beginning. Perhaps it's that my experience doesn't map all that well to Lois's, but the whole thing about "problematic lymph nodes" made no sense at all. Unless things have changed significantly...

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    With respect to the idea of keeping or telling secrets... There's Sam Lane. We know that he knows Clark's secret. The question is how many, if any, of the people who work under him also know. The second question is how many, if any, of Sam's superior officers know. There is an argument to be...

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Lying by omission, yes, a case can be made that they lied to him. But it also wasn't their secret to tell. And the Kents didn't convince anyone, explicitly or implicitly, to lie about Clark's and Jordan's abilities. Lana and Sarah both have enough wisdom to understand that if Clark (and Jordan)...

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    The show gets better and better with this sort of thing. My wife and I both loved the scenes of Lois and Lana's conversation. About 12 years ago, my wife had fibroid tumors that required a hysterectomy. She'd already reached an age where she'd come to terms with the idea that she'd never have...

    The funny thing about Peia. In her first appearance, her name wasn't mentioned. There was no reason to suspect that she was Onomatopoeia until she was referred to as Peia. I'm surprised I didn't make the connection immediately.

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Good dialogue scenes all around talking about cancer. I'm even firmer in my belief that someone in the writers room has gone through all of this. Everything rings true, which sometimes makes it hard to watch. On the other hand, it might've been helpful for the boys to hear that being sick and...

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    There was a sense, at first, that his journalist brain was engaging, and that he was thinking about making a story out of all this. But at some point, it seemed like he pushed that aside to just engage person to persons. That's one of the things I like about Superman when he's in the hands of a...

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Yeah, in fact, if memory serves, there was even a Smallville episode where, where a couple of the characters climbed up a water tower and could see Metropolis. I was thinking that it might've been clear that Metropolis and Smallville in earlier seasons, but it didn't seem that obvious until this...

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    Something that I meant to say about last week's episode was the surprise "relocation" of Metropolis to the Midwest, given that it's obviously within reasonable driving distance from Smallville. Not that Metropolis hasn't been on occasion located in the Midwest (if memory serves, it was in...

    I've liked him since he was on The Wire in a non-regular, but recurring part. He was also Fred Johnson in earlier seasons of The Expanse. Given these, it was a little freaky to see him playing Klyden. Mannheim is more what I'm used to him playing.

    Broadcast TV Superman & Lois - Season 3 (The CW)

    So much for the CW. S&L and The Flash are the only shows I'm waiting for. And after last season, I would've given up on The Flash if I didn't know this was going to be the final season. It looks like they've also decided not to announce a start date for Gotham Knights. It didn't look...

    I don't hate recasting. I don't necessarily like it, but it's a necessary evil most of the time.
