#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 9 "30 Days and 30 Nights" Recap and Review

Lucy is not the one that breaks Alston out of the D.O.D. It’s a soldier that wants her to save Anderson. Alston goes through the portal.

Clark senses this but doesn’t get there in time. He goes through the portal himself, though it’s not an easy or fun experience by any means.

The news is wondering where Superman is while everyone carries on with their lives. Specifically, Jordan steps up training with Sam and ignores Sarah’s calls while she’s at Lana’s debate.

Flashforward to one month later. John Henry is helping with disasters where he can, and Jordan is listening for Clark.

Natalie is failing at making waffles.

The polls are officially open. Lois, Jonathan, and Jordan are there to help. Lois told everyone that Clark is on assignment in Metropolis. Jonathan is not getting the warmest reception and leaves. Sarah tells Jordan that he’s been distant. Jordan hears a fire and leaves, which does not help his case.

John Henry and Natalie show up to help, but Natalie can’t handle her father being friendly with anyone and storms out.

Jordan gets the firefighters out and tries to put out the fire. John Henry shows up and tells Jordan to leave.

The reason Natalie attempted to make waffles is that today is the anniversary of her mom’s death. John Henry didn’t remember. When she tells Sarah this, Sarah tells her about the ofrendas that her family puts up on Día de los Muertos. This is a lovely idea except for the part where Natalie would have to use a picture, and she can’t. She asks Lois to take her home.

Lana gets a phone call and has to leave too. Kyle is in the hospital, but he’s fine. He tells Lana to go see to her campaign. Sarah doesn’t really believe that he’s ok, but he insists.

Jordan tells Jonathan about the fire and that he flew. Jonathan tells him that since John Henry saw him, he needs to tell Lois before she gets told. It isn’t worth the consequences. Jonathan isn’t sure he’ll ever get the chance to make up with Clark.

John Henry talks to Lois when she brings Natalie home. He’s just realized what today is. He and Lois talk about it, and then he inevitably tells her about Jordan.

Jordan doesn’t get a chance to come clean to Lois, as she comes home in fight mode. He does nothing to help matters by admitting that Sam has been training him and by claiming that since he has superpowers, she’s not in charge of him. The fact that he’s still alive after talking to her like that is only because he has superpowers.

John Henry’s talk with Natalie goes just as badly. Granted that she has a justifiable reason to be mad, but he is her dad, and he does make some good points. You know you’re an adult when you start siding with the parents in tv arguments.

Sarah brings groceries to Kyle’s sketchy apartment. He’s bleeding, so she comes in, changes his bandages, and tells him to get furniture.

Lois confronts Sam about training Jordan while they are the fire site. All Sam wanted was to teach him control, but that’s not all he’s been doing. They find X-Kryptonite at the site and conclude that it must have been a distribution hub.

They then squeeze Jonathan for information. Sam offers immunity in exchange for information about X-Kryptonite. Jonathan agrees to make a phone call if they agree that the person will not get into trouble.

Dean is accusing Lana of bringing in people from other counties.

Lois and Sam talk to Jordan until Jonathan comes in. He gets assurances that his “source” as it were will be protected, and he brings in Candace. The fact that Lois doesn’t kill anyone in this episode, let alone this show, makes her one of the strongest characters, but I digress. Candace holds up pretty well. Once she realizes that her apologies aren’t getting her anywhere, she gives all the information that she knows. She gets the inhalers from Mickey, a shady guy living at the trailer park, and he gets them from somewhere on Old McClellan Road. Jonathan then escorts her out.

Sam will need to get a satellite surveillance of the area, but Jordan has another idea. All they need to do is go to Old McClellan Road and he can hear any people up to no good. Lois does not like this idea, but she agrees to it on one condition. Jordan has to stay in the car.

Sarah brings Kyle his stuff, so that his apartment doesn’t look empty and depressing. They talk about Jordan. He thinks she deserves better, which is more a father’s love for his daughter talking than an objective factual statement.

John Henry watches a video of him and his wife right after Natalie was born and he full on breaks down. The man needs a hug.

Jordan does not want to stay in the car, but he does. Lois and Sam go check out the little warehouse operation, which turns out to be not so little. Then they get caught. Isn’t the saying that smart drug dealers don’t do drugs? Almost everyone involved in this X-Kryptonite racket is using.

The election board is about to announce the winner.

After Lois shares her extensive knowledge of knots with her father, he suggests that they get Jordan’s help. Lois thinks this is a bad idea, but it’s better than death. She tells Jordan to be careful anyway. He gets there just in time to keep one of the goons from shooting Sam, then he beats him easily.

Lana wins! Sarah surveys the party and sees that Jordan isn’t there.

Lois, Sam, and Jordan get there late. While Lois shares a drink with the new mayor, Jordan talks to Sarah. She wants answers that Jordan can’t give her. When he refuses to blow off his family for her, she breaks up with him and gives him his grandmother’s necklace back. Wow. Just wow. The CW is determined to make Jordan the bad guy in this relationship and it’s just not true. I would be glad that this relationship is over, but I worry that the ensuing drama is going to be worse.

John Henry made waffles. He then shows Natalie the video he was watching earlier.

Sarah spends the night with Kyle, where they plan to drown their sorrows in food. It’s hard for Sarah to be a sympathetic character when they keep aligning her with her cheating father.

Jonathan and Candace talk until he has a headache and has to go home.

Lois and Jordan talk about how sucky breakups can be until Jonathan shows up.

It’s not Jonathan. It’s Bizarro Jonathan and he tells them that Clark was too late!

The nerve of these teenagers is only exceeded by the nerve of the CW for making us wait a month for the next episode. Seriously, y’all. 8/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 8 "Into Oblivion" Recap and Review

The episode starts a year ago on Natalie and John Henry’s Earth. Natalie’s AI detects a temporal anomaly and Natalie gets into an escape pod to John Henry. She then follows him into the anomaly.

Present day Natalie is helping John Henry in the hospital. Lois and Clark show up to bring John Henry some clothes for the trip back to the farm. John Henry gets a little fuzzy on who Lois is for a moment, but then he’s fine. Natalie wants another brain scan before he’s discharged to make sure that he’s alright. She also doesn’t want to talk to Clark. At all.

Kyle comes to pick up Sarah for breakfast and it is extremely awkward.

Lois and Clark talk about John Henry and Natalie and then they talk to Jonathan and Jordan. Football has been cancelled for the first time in Smallville’s history and Jonathan still won’t say who he got the drugs from. He will be doing his classes online from now on and he will be working at the convenience store.

Anderson talks to Bizarro Alston, who says to come now. Anderson relays the message to Alston.

Chrissy calls Lois. Alston has invited her to be witness to the greatest story in history and is sending a car for her. It’s a shady black van filled with people in hazmat suits, and she has to surrender her phone, but Chrissy goes anyway.

Sarah tells Jordan about Aubrey. She wants them to all get along and be friends, which is of course laughably optimistic at best. Jordan agrees to this only because he’s distracted.

He’s distracted by hearing some guy shake down Candace for money that she doesn’t have. He makes the guy go away, for the moment.

Sam is on temporary assignment back at the D.O.D. and talks to Clark. While explaining that General Hardcastle sends her sincerest apologies, he realizes that the pendant is missing.

Anderson meets Alston and Chrissy at mines, along with some other redshirt hazmat people.

Sam, Lois, and Clark talk. Lois and Sam receive goodbye texts from Lucy, but when Clark goes to check on her, only her phone is in her apartment.

There is a portal in the mines, but something wrong. When the first people begin to “cross over” they scream like bugs caught in a bug zapper.

Sam, Lois, and Clark figure out where Lucy and the rest of them might be just in time for Superman to save Chrissy and one other person from going through the portal. Anderson takes the pendant and goes through the portal without her.

Superman talks to Chrissy to get as many details as possible and then talks to Sam when he shows up. He doesn’t know if Lucy was one of the people that went into the portal or not. Clark then has to go because he forgot to pick up John Henry and Natalie from the hospital.

Natalie is ticked when Clark gets back to the farm and she goes off on him,

Flashback Natalie is trapped “nowhere”, and her AI puts her into hibernation.

Jordan and Jonathan talk about their respective girlfriends and the stupid things that they do for them. To be fair, there is a difference between Jordan stupid, which is simply uncomfortable, and Jonathan stupid, which is life ruining, in this case.

Lana accepts Kyle’s offer to help her prepare for her debate with Dean.

Sam talks to Alston at the D.O.D. It goes badly enough that Lois has to intervene. Alston then lawyers up without telling them anything. Lois and Sam then talk about Lucy.

Lana and Kyle go over some hostile questions, all about turning his bad decisions back on her.

John Henry talks to Clark, mostly about Natalie. Clark needs to put in some time with her, so that she can see him as he is and not how she sees him.

Lois is in Lucy’s apartment looking for a sign. Clark shows up and she properly breaks down. No matter who leaves her, he is there, and he is for her.

Jonathan talks to Candace as he got off of his shift at the store and offers to walk her home. She tells him that she loves him and then they attacked by the guy from earlier, who is on X-Kryptonite himself. Jordan, who is on his way to the most awkward dinner ever, hears Jonathan getting beat up and decides to help. He’s only hidden by a black hoodie and the fact that it’s nighttime, but he does beat the guy up pretty soundly. Jonathan thanks him and then they split up.

Clark talks to Natalie. He doesn’t want to force her to like him, though he would appreciate getting to know her better. In that vein, his friend has a place for rent that her and John Henry are more than welcome to check out.

Jordan stands up Sarah because he looks like he’s been in a fight, and he wouldn’t know how to explain it to her.

Sam and Lois talk until the doorbell rings. It’s Lucy. She says that she walked out of the mines while all the chaos was happening and continued to walk until someone picked her up to drive her to the farm. They all agree to go to brunch in the morning. Clark walks in and Sam offers to drive her home.

Kyle tells Lana that he got his own place. This is good, but they don’t talk about it in depth because Lana has to go pick up Sophie.

Flashback Natalie wakes up after being in hibernation for six months.

Natalie loves Clark’s friend’s place, though it’s a bit of a fixer upper.

Jonathan gets home and talks to Jordan.

Lucy drugged Sam to get his D.O.D. credentials. That’s cold, though not necessarily surprising.

This show really does run the gamut of familial relationships. I’m excited to see more of Bizarro world as well, which I’m sure we will soon. 8/10.

Charmed Season 3 Recap

This season started with Macy and Harry still having an unclear relationship. The sisters develop an allergy to each other and all other magical creatures. Because of this, Macy becomes allergic to Harry so they are not able to be close to each other. The group spends most of the season trying to cure their allergy. The girls meet their cousin, Josefina, who is a transgender woman. She tracks them down trying to get the book of shadows. While she didn’t stay very long in the show, she helped the sisters with a few spells and taught them about brujeria. It was nice to meet another member of their family and learn a little more about their lineage.



The sisters discover an artifact that leads them to the Tomb of Chaos, which is a prison for monsters. They get trapped inside without realizing what it is but slowly understands what is happening and they can get out. Macy also inherits Safe Space, which she then has to decide what to do with. Mel gets a visit from her future self, which gives her a pregnancy from the future after warning her something bad will happen. Harry decides he wants to be a human again so he can be with Macy and goes through a big transformation to do that.

The sisters learn about a new threat called the whispering evil after Maggie has a vision that something terrible will happen in the future. Macy and Maggie travel to the future and they realize the whispering evil is going to come to their time and infect someone and they need to stop it before it takes over the world. They don’t know who it is going to infect and try to figure it out by giving people a truth syrum. It winds up infecting Jordan and they can get it out of him and they realize it will infect someone else.

Macy is looking for an antidote for it and she winds up getting infected. She ingests the antidote and the whispering evil explodes, killing it. Harry becomes a whitelighter again to try to save Macy. Unfortunately, the explosion destroys Macy and she is not able to survive. It was sad to see Macy die after she found her sisters after growing up an only child but it was nice to see her get to experience everything she wanted to before she died.

This was an exciting season and I look forward to seeing what will happen in the next season. I am interested to see who the person who will join the power of three will be after Macy has died and how their dynamic will be since they won’t be sisters. I am also curious if we will find out more from Mel in the future and see the child after it is born. It would be an interesting storyline to see what will happen with Mel’s baby.

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 7 "Anti-Hero" Recap and Review

Clark wakes up and is greeted by Morgan Edge, who is practically giddy that they’re in the same cell. Anderson visits them and is his typical self. He wants the location of Bizarro and won’t listen to anything else. Clark, being the better man that he is, tries to tell Anderson about Alston. He does not care and does not listen.

Sam tells Lois what he knows, though it isn’t much and none of it’s good. Lois tells the boys that there aren’t any updates.

Lana is going through Kyle’s stuff. Sarah is helping, even though Lana didn’t want her to have to. She’s protecting Sarah and Sarah is protecting Sophie. They reassure one another that this is all Kyle’s fault and not theirs.

Jordan talks to Sarah, who doesn’t think he can understand. Police then show up at the school right when Candace gives Jonathan another batch of X-Kryptonite, he refuses it, and then he gets caught covering for her.

Lois is on the phone with Sam while at the Gazette. She tells him that if doesn’t bust down some doors, she will. Lana comes in and talks to her about an ad that Dean placed about a “family values” campaign event. Lois wishes she could help more, but there isn’t much she can do without violating political campaign laws. Lois then gets the call about Jonathan.

Edge will not shut up, and he doesn’t until Anderson comes in again. Seeing that he isn’t going to get anything from Superman, he tries a different tactic. He asks Edge to help him, but when Edge asks what he gets out of the deal, Anderson puts a Kryptonite dog collar on him to pressure Superman for the coordinates.

Sarah and Lana talk about Jonathan, and eventually about Kyle. Sarah needs someone other than Lana and Jordan to talk to about her dad.

Lois confronts Jonathan, who refuses to snitch on his girlfriend. The sheriff isn’t pressing charges, but he might get expelled. Lois asks Jordan if he knew about this, and he comes clean too.

Clark gives Anderson coordinates so that he’ll stop torturing Edge. They’re the wrong coordinates, and eventually Anderson will figure that out, but it buys them some time at least.

Lois goes to talk to Lana about the parts of her spectacularly terrible day that she can talk about, and they end up having a heart to heart about their families. Lois tells Lois that she’s a great mom, and Dean can’t take that away from her.

Jordan is still mad at Jonathan and Jonathan still won’t tell him who sold him the drugs.

Anderson gets to Superman’s destroyed fortress in the Arctic. Instead of making the logical conclusion that Superman gave him the wrong coordinates under duress, he instead believes that Superman warned Bizarro and that they’ve been working together all along.

At the same time, Clark and Edge get into a fight because Edge is threatening to expose Clark in exchange for his own life. Soldiers from the D.O.D. go in and break up the fight. Anderson realizes about a split second too late that it was a trap. Edge flies away. After taking enough time to make “disappointed dad” eye contact with Anderson, Clark flies away too. In another in his series of stellar decisions, Anderson decides to go after them by using some of the X-Kryptonite that the D.O.D. has seized.

Edge wants to know if he and his brother were close on Bizarro’s world. They were, until Edge’s wife tried to kill Bizarro. This brings us to the fascinating question of who Edge’s wife was. Bizarro doesn’t say, because there are more important things to discuss at the moment. My knee jerk reaction is to say Ally Alston because we know that she’s essentially taken over Bizarro’s world, but I don’t think Edge would ever marry a normal human, no matter how much power she has. The more likely choice is Lana, because we saw her try to kill Bizarro, she has powers, and he flirted with this Earth’s Lana quite a bit. This brings us to the even more fascinating question of whether Edge was a better husband to Lana than Kyle?

Sarah’s friend from camp is back, because of course the one person she can talk to about her cheating father is the friend she cheated on her boyfriend with. She doesn’t appear to be here to cause trouble at this point, but we all know it’s coming. At the moment, she tells Sarah to see her dad if she wants to.

Lois tries to talk to Jonathan more calmly. He still won’t tell her where he got the drugs. She pleads with him not to ruin his life for someone else, but he refuses to ruin someone else’s life. This is a noble, but ultimately very stupid thing to do.

Anderson has figured out where the Kryptonians are holed up. He sends a Kryptonite missile to weaken them, then he takes the X-Kryptonite and some Kryptonite weapons into Edge’s Fortress. Bizarro is safe behind the forcefield that Lara has constructed.

Edge takes several Kryptonite bullets for Clark before Lara lets Bizarro go. He fights Anderson while Clark helps Edge. He has to disintegrate the bullets and then take Edge to the sun to heal.

While Clark does this, Anderson manages to kill Bizarro with his own two hands. As it turns out, drugs, bad decision making, and military training can do a lot for a person.

Once Clark saves Edge’s life, he takes him back to his cell. He tells Edge that Bizarro is dead, and Anderson has fled. He then thanks Edge for saving his life. Edge tells him to apologize to Jordan for him. Clark is then allowed to leave.

Sam tells Lois that there is a warrant out for Anderson’s arrest since he went AWOL and crazy. Clark then walks in, and Lois has to tell him what happened while he was gone.

Lana interrupts Dean’s campaign event, destroys him, and leaves.

Sarah wants to talk to Kyle.

Clark talks to Jonathan. He tells him that he will apologize to the principal, the coach, and the rest of the football team, and then they will figure out his schooling options. If he wanted to explain, he should have done so when Lois asked. Jonathan breaks down when Clark leaves.

Anderson finds Ally Alston and gives her the other pendant.

Simmons knows how to bring it, as per always. 8/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 6 "Tried and True" Recap and Review

The episode starts with mood music in a dark room, with a cat. It’s Bizarro’s broken down home and he’s in some sort of suit.

The scene switches Bizarro beating up people inside the D.O.D. He is interrupted by Lana wearing a Supermen of America uniform.

The scene switches to him taking the pendant from Ally Alston’s neck. Interesting that she runs the D.O.D.

The suit he was wearing earlier is like a spacesuit/jetpack that he uses to get into the mines on our world.

This is all a story he’s telling Clark. Clark asks him what the pendant is. Bizarro says that it’s an ancient artifact that needs to be destroyed. If Alston has both pendants and merges with her other self, she will be basically unstoppable. Clark decides to focus on destroying the pendant rather than the person.

Lois and Clark talk about it while being fantastically domestic.

Anderson’s supervisor is ripping him a new one for his handling of the Bizarro situation and his deteriorating relationship with Superman.

Jordan talks to Jonathan about power stuff. He finds an empty inhaler that Jonathan claims is Candace’s. The football coach then calls him and tells him that he’s gonna start.

Lana is making breakfast and pretending to be ok. Kyle is not there. Clark texts her, but she basically brushes him off. It’s only when the girls leave the room and she turns around that she starts to cry. Sarah notices and hugs her from behind while she cries.

Sam comes to see Lois and he brought Lucy.

Superman is at the funeral for the Supermen of America. He gets better reception than Anderson does. All of this is not great for Anderson’s overall ego, which has been demonstrated to be very fragile.

Jordan still wants to tell their parents about Jonathan’s powers, but Jonathan convinces him that he has everything under control. Jordan then goes to check on Sarah, who is mostly worried about her mother.

Kyle shows up to the house to talk to Lana. The affair lasted six months, she was only in the house once, and he didn’t love her. He keeps repeating that Lana is the only one that he loves or will ever love, but Lana asks him to leave. She can’t handle this right now.

Lucy is looking at the most recent pictures of Jonathan and Jordan. Sam finds an excuse to leave the two girls alone.

Superman tries to talk to Anderson about destroying the pendant. He then has to go. Anderson wants someone to track his movements.

There is an avalanche in Russia that Superman has to go stop. I know that they filmed this a while ago, but it’s still an interesting choice considering Russia has started World War III. I guess it goes with the point they’re trying to make that Superman saves people no matter where or who they are.

Lucy and Sam are talking football with the boys when Clark walks in. Lois gives him a brief explanation of Lucy’s presence and then he gets a call from Lana.

Anderson gets his report about Superman. He has a pendant in his hand and gets an idea. Do y’all think that the pendants have the one ring energy, or are they just inanimate objects that humans have chosen to use for evil? I’d like to think it’s poisoning Anderson’s mind, and maybe that’s why Ally’s relative thought that it was cursed, but Anderson might just be like that.

Clark meets Lana at the diner, and she asks him what he would do in her situation. He would need all the details before he decided. She then tells Clark to get to the game and she’ll talk to him later.

She then decides to go to the bar and get information from the bartender herself.

The coach gives the boys a pep talk before the game and Clark gives Jonathan an additional one privately. After Clark leaves, Jonathan takes more X-Kryptonite.

The bartender did love Kyle and she defends him by saying that he did eventually do the right thing and stick by his family. He broke it off after Sarah’s low point. Lana thanks the bartender for speaking with her and leaves. That went way better than I expected it to go.

The game is almost over, but Clark has to go.

Lucy and Lois, who had been doing pretty well start to argue when they realize that they still disagree about Alston. Lucy leaves.

Smallville wins! Sarah’s friend whose family owns the store tells Sarah and Jordan that Timmy was found using drugs through an inhaler.

Anderson double-crosses Clark because he is an idiot who needs complete control of everything and everyone at all times.

Jordan confronts Jonathan about taking drugs. They fight and Sam breaks it up.

Clark fights back too, in an eerily similar way to Bizarro fighting his version of the D.O.D.

Lana goes to see Kyle. He broke off the affair because he wanted to save his family, and not his marriage. That’s not enough for her. She wants him to move out.

Lois and Sam talk about sibling stuff. They both tried.

Jonathan tries to talk to Jordan. Winning the game felt hollow when he was using drugs. Jordan doesn’t want to talk.

Sam tells Lois that Superman has just been arrested for treason!!!!!!

Anderson is shipping him to the same prison as Morgan Edge.

Anderson don’t talk out loud. You lower the IQ of the whole street. That man is going down. Hard. 8/10

[sueboohscorner]

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 5 "Girl... You'll Be a Woman, Soon" Recap and Review

The episode starts with a will reading. A girl’s father is dead, and her inheritance depends on Bizarro’s pendant. Someone tries to tell her that it’s cursed, but she accepts it. The little girl is Ally Alston.

In the present, Alston has the pendant and is expecting a guest.

Lois made a care package for Natalie to take to John Henry. She also talks to Clark about how Alston might be connected to Bizarro. The boys come in and remind them that they are hosting Sarah’s quinceañera even though Natalie won’t be able to make it.

Sarah is practicing with her parents. They are also considering reverting their last name back to Cortez, which was Kyle’s original family name before they came to the United States. They are being adorably domestic, so Kyle ignores the phone call from his ex-mistress.

Superman visits Tag, mostly to check up on him, but also to get the pendant that Tag took from Bizarro. Tag doesn’t have it. He gave it to Anderson as part of proper protocol and chain of command.

Sam is there to train Jordan, but he wants Jonathan to help.

Chrissy comes in to the Gazette while Lois is looking over her old notes. She’s still mad at Lois, but she has somewhere to be. Lois notices something important after she leaves. The lady from the mines was at one of Alston’s meetings.

Bizarro is now tracking mine lady.

Superman confronts Anderson, who is one those people who cannot ever admit that they were wrong. He’s still suspicious of Superman and thinks that he needs the pendant to “power-up” or something. Needless to say, he refuses to give Superman the pendant or be helpful in any way.

Jordan and Jonathan are training. Allowing Jonathan to be there is looking less and less like a good idea.

Sarah is in her dress, but she cannot walk in the heels.

Clark comes to visit Lois at the Gazette. She tells him that she’s going to the mines to talk to mine lady. He wants to come, but she needs him to run errands.

Chrissy is the person that Alston has been waiting for. She wants to get the truth about Alston for herself and this goes about as well as you might expect. Alston has drugged her tea.

Lois runs into Bizarro in mine lady’s office. He flies off without engaging her. She then finds mine lady dead. She contacts Clark and they find that he’s going after Alston next.

Chrissy wakes up with the pendant on after she’s been clinically dead for several minutes.

Jonathan takes more X-Kryptonite because Sam isn’t helping his feelings of inferiority. He then confronts Jordan and Sam. He decides that Jordan needs to try to hit him instead of a punching bag. Jordan barely gets any hits on Jonathan, while Jonathan whales on him until Sam makes him stop. Jonathan says that Sam is training the wrong kid and storms off.

Sarah’s grandmother takes a Cushing family picture.

Chrissy says that she was a Bizarro version of herself. Lois and Clark show up about a minute before Bizarro does and manage to save Alston’s life.

Clark and Bizarro end up in an empty warehouse somewhere where Bizarro tells Clark to get out of his way. Even if he Clark could understand him, that’s not going to happen. Clark eventually figures Bizarro out while they fight and drives them back to the mines. He then manages to knock Bizarro unconscious.

Jordan and Jonathan arrive at Sarah’s quinceañera and Jordan is speechless.

Clark tells Lois that he deposited Bizarro at Edge’s fortress for his mom to look at. They then enter the party themselves.

Jonathan tries to provoke a fight with Jordan at the party, but it doesn’t come to that.

Sarah asks Jordan if they can get out of the center of attention for a second. They go sit on the porch and talk. The talk eventually becomes about Jonathan, and Sarah tells Jordan to check on him. She acted similarly when she was depressed. Jonathan’s behavior is drug induced, but neither of them know that. They then kiss.

Kyle slips out of the party to talk to his ex-mistress. She told a friend about their affair and said friend sold that story to the mayor. Kyle is well and truly screwed. To make it worse, Jordan and Sarah see them talking.

The mayor is talking to Lana, but he hasn’t told her yet.

Chrissy tells Lois everything that happened with Ally. In the Bizarro world, Ally is in charge. Lois may have been wrong about the specifics, but she was not wrong about Ally being bad news that they need to take down pronto.

Sarah won’t look Kyle in the eyes during the father daughter dance. When she does, he realizes that she knows, and she runs away. He follows her. Lana recognizes that her daughter is having a panic attack and so she follows them.

Sarah tells them what she saw. Lana, to her credit, decides to handle her daughter first. She tells her that they will deal with this a family later, but right not this is her night and the people that she loves are there to celebrate her. She doesn’t want anything to take away from that. This manages to calm Sarah down enough that her and Lana walk back into the party without Kyle.

Lana then gives a really wonderful speech about how proud she is of Sarah and how much she loves her.

Bizarro is awake, so Clark has to go. Lara has him contained and has made it so that they can understand each other better. Bizarro tells Clark that he is trying to save his world and Clark’s.

Jordan tries to talk to Jonathan. It goes badly enough that Jonathan’s eyes start going red. Jordan thinks that Jonathan is finally developing his powers. Jonathan tells him that he doesn’t want to involve their parents yet, since Clark will probably pull him off of the football team. Jordan agrees not to tell them immediately.

Bizarro says that they only way to save both worlds is to kill Alston.

It’s nice to be back and I’m glad that Chrissy is not full on joining the cult. 8/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 4 "The Inverse Method" Recaap and Review

The episode starts with Lucy Lane picking Ally Alston’s book off a nightstand in Lois’s house. Lucy has been staying there for a month and she needs to leave to build her own life, because she can’t keep watching Lois’s perfect one. She says that she’s going to stay with Ally for a while and then they argue.

In the present, Lois asks Alston where her sister is. She says nothing helpful, and she talks about the Inverse Society the way any cult leader talks about their cult and their followers. Lucy is the witness that is going to recant in the morning on the podcast. They trade threats and then Alston leaves with some cronies she brought along for intimidation. Lois then calls Chrissy and says that they need to find Lucy.

Bizarro is seeing Clark’s life in the same way that Clark is seeing his.

Clark is still having headaches too. Over the breakfast table, Jordan tells Jonathan and Clark about the podcast that Lois has been listening to all morning. Clark advises him not to eavesdrop on Lois, but then asks him to spill.

Clark goes in to talk to her once he finds about Lucy. Lois worries that Lucy is too far gone, and she doesn’t know what to do.

John Henry and Natalie work on the suit until Clark comes in and tells them that Lois will be driving to school today.

Emily warns Lana that the mayor is digging up dirt on not just her, but Sarah too.

Clark and John Henry have coffee and talk until Clark gets another headache. Bizarro is coming to the farm. They collide when he arrives. Bizarro is wearing this crystal around his neck and it’s doing something to Clark. John Henry throws his hammer at Bizarro, even though his suit isn’t ready yet, and Bizarro scrams.

Chrissy was at the Gazette all night catfishing lowlifes on the dark web. She eventually got an invite to an Ally Alston conference. Lois will drive.

Kyle and Lana talk about Mayor Dean going after Sarah. Kyle wants to stoop to his level, while Lana wants to tell Sarah.

Jonathan hasn’t taken the X-Kryponite yet, but his girlfriend is a terrible influence. Shocker I know, but she is.

John Henry can track Bizarro, but he would need the D.O.D.’s satellite. Clark needs help.

Jordan sees some kids about to rob the new convenience store and he puts down an ice slick without thinking. There are security cameras because this is the 21st century and of course there are. Think Jordan! Anyway, he calls Sam, who scrambles the camera in a second. He used to be in charge of the D.O.D. This is child’s play.

Chrissy goes into the conference undercover. She’ll text if she sees Lucy.

Superman talks to Anderson about tracking Bizarro. He asks to be notified if they find him. Anderson isn’t going to tell him diddly squat.

Jonathan uses the X Kryptonite at practice. It gives him super sight.

Lois finds Lucy in the parking lot.

Chrissy is busted, but Ally Alston invites her to the cult instead of kicking her out.

Lois and Lucy fight, first about their mother, and then about Ally. Lucy says that she “saw her other self” while she was overdosing in the bathtub. For the sake of argument because this is a superhero show, what if she saw her Pre-Crisis self? Or what if this “other self” stuff has to do with Bizarro?

Banana pants crazy or not, this private and personal argument is being broadcast to the conference, something Lucy is entirely aware of. Chrissy is mad, at Lois.

The Cushings talk to Sarah about Mayor Dean. She isn’t afraid of a fight.

Lois talks to Clark about the absolute disaster she’s dealing with now, where even Chrissy isn’t on her side.

Bizarro is in Bolivia, but Anderson has not intentions of telling Superman. He sends his team.

Clark gets a vision of the team dying and sets off to fight. By the time he gets there, Tag is the only one left alive. He grabs Bizarro’s crystal, which has fallen off, and runs away. Clark fights him in a much longer fight than before. John Henry shows up to help woefully unprepared and he gets badly hurt and his hammer is shattered. Clark punches Bizarro through the air and then takes John Henry to the hospital.

Lois tells Natalie about her dad. When she gets to the hospital, she yells at Clark and tells him to leave because he was supposed to protect her dad and didn’t.

As it turns out, Mayor Dean isn’t going after Sarah. He doesn’t have to. Kyle is a much easier target.

Lois and Clark tell Jonathan, Jordan, and Sam that John Henry is breathing on his own. As Sam leaves, Jordan asks if he’ll train him. Sam agrees, as long as it stays between them. I’m sure that will go well, but Clark is busy.

In a reveal that will come as a surprise to absolutely no one, Kyle was cheating on his wife in addition to being a drunk no good.

Lois tries to contact Chrissy.

Flashback to Lois and Lucy arguing before she left Lois’s house.

Chrissy calls Alston instead, which is annoying.

They are going heavy on the sidekicks this week. Dang! 8/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 3 "The Thing in the Mines" Recap and Review

The episode starts with Clark in space, listening. He tries to concentrate on the mines, but he crash lands when he gets too close.

He talks to Lois and John Henry about it. Lois suggests going to her dad to secure credentials since they obviously can’t go to Anderson. Clark thinks that Lois busting in and asking questions might draw a bit too much attention. John Henry, on the other hand, will not. He insists, despite protests.

Jonathan and Jordan talk about Timmy, the guy on the football team. Jordan tells him to let it go and then the conversation turns to Sarah, just in time for Natalie to walk in. Jonathan and Natalie both tell him not to be mad. She just cheated on him. Let the boy be mad!

Lana is getting ready for a campaign event and Kyle is extremely supportive. They then talk about throwing Sarah a quinceanera, even know she says that she doesn’t want one.

Lois is rewatching an old Ally Allston video when her dad calls her.

Jordan tells Clark that he wants to tell Sarah everything, because somehow her cheating on him makes him feel bad about saving the world. Clark explains that this is a terrible idea. He didn’t even tell Lois until he was a full-on adult and he was sure that he was going to marry her. Jordan gives the typical 15-year-old response that he is going to marry her. The argument goes in circles for a couple minutes before Clark full on loses it, like yelling with the eyes going red. This naturally freaks everyone out, including Clark. After Lois gets back from taking the kids to school, he tells her that he doesn’t even remember most of it.

Sarah is trying to pretend that everything is fine because she’s cleared her conscience. Jordan doesn’t know how to go forward from here.

Jonathan is complaining to his girlfriend Candace about Timmy. She tells him that Timmy isn’t using steroids. She says it’s a crystal, so obviously X-Kryptonite.

Lana’s mayoral speech does not go well. Some people don’t know how to trust her after the whole Morgan Edge thing, and she does not have an answer for them.

Sam Lane gets John Henry the credentials necessary to get into the mines. He and Lois then talk about the cult situation, or rather Lois talks. Sam doesn’t think this is as big of a deal as it is. He never even read her piece. He’s just taken Lucy’s word for it and will be of no use getting into contact with her.

At football practice, where Clark has decided that it is safe for him to be, Jonathan confronts Timothy about his usage. Timmy tells him that it was Candace that sold him the X-Kryptonite. This results in a fight wherein Clark gets punched. He’s obviously fine, but he has to play it up.

He pulls Jonathan aside to talk and then goes off again, to the point where he has to let his heat vision off in his hands. Jonathan has to drive him home.

Clark tells Lois and Sam that it isn’t his own anger that he’s feeling. The thing in the mines is feeling cornered and trapped, and he’s feeling the same. Sam wants to call in D.O.D. Lois doesn’t feel that way.

John Henry shows his credentials to shady mine lady.

Kyle won’t let Lana give up her mayoral campaign after one bad event.

Jonathan talks to Natalie, who is worried about her dad. They then play video games.

Lois namedrops the thing that we’ve all been thinking while she talks to Clark.

John Henry and shady mine lady find blood on the X-Kryptonite and then the detonator and where the mine collapsed. She then knocks him out.

Clark apologizes to the boys and asks how to make it up to them. Jonathan wants to learn how to drive the truck, which is a pretty good idea. He then leaves Clark and Jordan alone to have a much calmer version of their earlier conversation. Clark agrees that if Jordan still feels the same way in a year, they can have a more serious conversation about it. He also has an idea of how to Sarah that he cares without jeopardizing the entire human race.

Shady mine lady calls her mystery contact.

While waiting for an update from John Henry, Lois and Sam talk some more. He read her article and he apologizes for a lot of things. He always felt like he was to blame when Lois and Lucy’s mom left, so he threw himself into what he was good at, which was work. He does love them, more than anything else in the world. That’s why he did call Lucy. She’s not happy about it, but she did agree to meet with Lois. He tells her to go easy.

Sarah tells Lana what she did, and Lana gives her some not great parental advice. Sarah does; however, have an idea to help Lana with her campaign.

Clark and Lois talk until he what looks like a seizure. In his vision, the being is freaking out.

IT’S HERE!!! Surrounded by a ton of soldiers is something in a pretty heavy duty suit that bullets bounce off of. It throws a truck at the soldiers and then Clark shows up.

While they fight, Lois manages to get John Henry to wake up and get his butt moving. His AI sends his suit and we get this awesome Iron Man sequence of the suit attaching to him while he’s running. Despite the cool factor, it makes short work of John Henry, suit or no suit.

Clark breaks through part of the helmet and it has a face, and a voice. I might be wrong, but I think it says “feel what I feel.” Then both of them get one of those headaches and then it flies away.

Clark tells Sam, Lois, and John Henry that it looked like him. Sam wants to call in the D.O.D. Lois agrees. Clark says no.

Jordan and Jonathan have a nice little bro moment.

John Henry and Natalie talk. She’s going to help him fix the suit.

Lois is nervous about going to see Lucy. Clark tells her to have hope.

Sarah is livestreaming Lana making dinner while she answers campaign questions.

Jordan shows up and basically apologizes to Sarah for her cheating and gives her his grandmother’s necklace, which his grandfather gave his grandmother when he realized that he wanted to marry her.

Jonathan goes to confront Candace about the X-Kryptonite. He wants some. I knew Jonathan was going to snap at some point, but it still makes me sad.

Lucy doesn’t come to meet Lois. Ally Allston, the cult leader herself, comes instead.

The thing from in the mines finds the Fortress of Solitude. It does look like Superman, but with a few bizarre differences.

What this show does well is subvert your expectations, like exchanging a Luthor for Steel, or Doomsday for Bizarro. If the writers focus more on that and less on justifying cheating, they’ll be golden. 8/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 2 "Ties that Bind" Recap and Review

Lois made a really wonderful breakfast, but Natalie is vegan. Clark collapses with another one of those killer headaches. He tells Lois and John Henry that he’s been having visions ever since the submarine, but he’s not quite sure what it is. All he’s seen is a cave in and screaming. They worry that it might be some kind of residual memory from Zod. John Henry offers to take the kids to school.

Kyle and Lana run into the current mayor on the way to one of Daniel Hart’s campaign events.

Natalie eats lunch with Jordan and Sarah. Her and Sarah talk about cars.

One of Lois’s old stories is being brought up again by a podcast. Lois tells Chrissy that she did everything by the book and it will blow over.

Clark goes to see Morgan Edge, who is still alive in a cage full of books and red Kryptonite? I’m not sure that red Kryptonite would be the thing to use here, but I digress. Clark asks him about the residual memories angle. Edge hasn’t experienced anything like that, but he could always run some tests in his fortress. He claims to be powerless, but still, as if!

Lois and Chrissy talk to the chief of operations of the mining operation. She says that they haven’t gone deep enough in the mine to cause anything, even though it is the epicenter of the quakes. They are clearing the mines of X-Kryponite, but that shouldn’t cause anything either.

Daniel Hart is late to his own campaign event. This is because he is dropping out of the race to take a job somewhere else.

Sarah is blowing off Jordan to work on her dad’s car with Natalie.

John Henry and Lois talk about Natalie and the mines. She needs his help to figure out what is going on. She should hire him to be her new reporter.

Superman stops a shooting at an airport. The bad guy then breathes in something and knock Clark about. He then gets one of his killer headaches and has to be saved by Tag of all people. He wakes up at the D.O.D. where Anderson asks what happened. Clark doesn’t know and neither does anyone else. The bad guy at the airport was a drug dealer stealing X-Kryptonite, which the D.O.D. is selling and using for their team. Clark asks about Tag, but Anderson blows him off.

John Henry is having a Lois flashback, but he snaps out of it. They have the seismometer set up, but now they have to wait until there is an earthquake.

Kyle and Lana are looking for a new mayoral candidate.

One of the guys in the football weight room has become a lot stronger overnight, almost like he’s using something like X Kryptonite. Jonathan looks on with barely suppressed rage as he does his own workout.

Clark is actually going to take Edge to his fortress. Sam Lane pulled some strings to allow that to happen. Jordan wants to come as backup. He understands what it’s like to not be able to trust his body and he wants to help.

Edge is handcuffed as a precaution. When they get to his fortress, he has a crystal of their mom, Lara. She tells Edge off when she finds out what he’s been up to, but she still loves him despite everything and she’s sorry that she was never able to do more for him. Edge tells her that she only has one son and he needs her help. He then steps back.

Natalie talks to Sarah about cars and secrets. She even gets the car to run.

There are tremors coming from the mines. John Henry and Lois go to check the equipment.

Edge tries to get under Jordan’s skin while Clark collapses again. Edge then breaks his shackles like the dirty, rotten liar that he is. Jordan stands between him and Clark. He’s gotten a lot better since the last time he challenged Edge.

There is something in the mines that starts killing the miners. It gives me Balrog energy. One of the miners tries to stop it by detonating explosives.

Jordan has gotten better, but it’s not enough. Edge starts to choke him, and Lara begs him to stop. This gives Clark enough time to get better and wail on Edge until Lara tells him to stop too. She now knows what is going on with him.

Clark returns Edge to his cell.

Lois tells Chrissy that the earthquakes aren’t actually earthquakes but are caused by something. Chrissy is more worried about this old story that has now gone viral. One of Lois’s sources has allegedly recanted their story, so Chrissy needs to know some of the details. Lois quoted a secret family source that she now says was her sister Lucy. Lucy was in deep with this cult, to the point that she almost died. Her and Lois don’t talk much now.

Kyle thinks Lana should run for mayor. Lana agrees, as she just filled out the paperwork to put her in the race.

Jordan and Jonathan talk. Jonathan thinks the football guy is on steroids. I’m willing to bet he’s not. They don’t quite get that far because Natalie walks in to tell Jordan that Sarah is here to speak with him.

She cheated on him at camp Alex Danvers style. She claims it meant nothing, but come on. I think we all know that the CW will milk this unnecessary and completely out of left field drama for all it’s worth.

Clark talks to Lois and John Henry about what his mother told him. She said that his headaches and visions are being caused by what she termed an “invasive cosmological event.” In layman’s terms, this means that there is a being that is causing all of it.

The lady at the mine knew that there was something down there. She’s probably working for Anderson at the D.O.D.

CW’s gonna CW, but otherwise a good episode. I was glad to get my Morgan Edge questions answered. 7.5/10

#SupermanandLois Season 2 Episode 1 "What Lies Beneath" Recap and Review

This season starts right as the last one ended, with Natalie stepping out of the pod. John Henry very quickly explains that Lois is not the same and is not her mother. Lois, on the other hand, freezes and then walks away.

Cut to three months later. Lois is looking for reporters, but she’s obviously in a mood. Sarah has been gone for a month, so Jordan has gone a little overboard to welcome her back. Natalie’s first day of school is today, but she still won’t talk to Lois.

While Lana and Kyle wait for Sarah, he complains about some guy commercializing Superman. Sarah has been a counselor at a camp she used to go to, and I am 95% sure she met somebody there, because she is not enthusiastic about the prospect of seeing Jordan.

Chrissy is interviewing someone who has some marketable skills. Lois comes in and doesn’t like him, but she hasn’t like anybody in months. They need help.

Lana is running a mayoral campaign for Daniel Hart. Jordan comes to see Sarah, but she isn’t ready to see him and is upset that he didn’t give her prior notice. They agree to meet at the bridge later.

Jonathan is sitting on the bench at football practice. He complains to Clark and some girl that we’ve never seen before about it because he’s healed and he wants to do something. She calms him down.

Clarks hears a submarine having difficulties and has to go. He gets a really terrible headache when he gets close, but he rights himself and puts the submarine on the shore.

John Henry and Natalie talk about her going back to school and the weirdness of it all. She’s extremely angry and doesn’t even call him dad.

Lois walks in on Jonathan and his girlfriend making out in his room. She goes off on him.

Superman goes to the D.O.D. It was a North Korean nuclear sub that he saved and the new guy, Lieutenant Anderson, is not happy about it. Clark explains that his job is to help people and the people in that sub were in desperate need of assistance. Is saving a North Korean nuclear sub problematic? Ya, but that is the government’s problem and not his.

Lois calls Clark to deal with Jonathan, but he ends up dealing with her. She thinks he’s not taking it seriously enough and Clark thinks she’s overreacting. He asks if this is about Natalie and about bites his head off. She suggests that he go to Lana’s party without her.

Jordan lights a bunch of candles on the pond with his heat vision while Sarah is blindfolded. She’s not as impressed as he was going for and she breaks it off quickly when they kiss. She says that she doesn’t feel good, and leaves. She definitely either cheated on him or wanted to cheat on him.

Clark gets to Lana’s campaign party late. Him and Kyle talk about their wives.

John Henry finally finds Natalie three hours after school lets out. She left after first period because she couldn’t stand it. She wishes that she never found him on this Earth.

Jordan gets home and Lois snaps at him.

He talks to Jonathan about Sarah.

Clark talks to Lana about working on the campaign and about their respective spouses.

There’s some kind of earthquake.

Sarah and Kyle talk about Jordan while he fixes a car.

Clark and Lois have a good long talk. She apologizes. She’s been feeling guilty ever since she saw Natalie because she didn’t feel anything for the girl that was calling her mom. Her own mom abandoned her and she’s afraid that that is what she’s become. Clark reassures her that the situation isn’t remotely similar and she’s nothing like her mother.

There is a much larger earthquake. Clark stops a water tower from falling and prevents a truck from falling off of a cliff. While assessing the damage of a series of explosions in the mine, he sees two other people with the House of El crest and he gets another terrible headache.

Lois calls John Henry to meet and talk.

The other two people are part of a D.O.D. school, the “Supermen of America.” Clark tells them that symbol isn’t theirs to take, but Lieutenant Anderson doesn’t care. If Superman won’t play ball, he will find people that will.

Lois goes to meet John Henry and Natalie. Natalie storms out and Lois follows her. She is honest about her reactions and their relationship. She would like to be friends. Natalie accepts.

Lana and Kyle talk and then kiss. Sarah walks in on them and is now ignoring Jordan’s texts.

Clark gives the boys a talk, which he says they will also get from their mother.

Lois brings John Henry and Natalie to the farm and says that they’re going to stay awhile. Clark assures John Henry that he is ok with this. He then hears something, but he doesn’t quite know what.

There’s something in the ground that’s pounding its way out, causing the earthquakes and possibly the headaches.

Time jumps tend to be a little awkward with relationships, especially teenage relationships, but otherwise I’m glad to be back! If that last scene is any indication, this could be big. 8/10.

#Bull - Season 5 - Full Season Review and Breakdown

Bull - Season 5 - Review/Recap and Breakdown.

*********** Spoilers Ahead, Read This Review At Your Risk ***********

Hello and Welcome Back Bull Fans and Long-time readers of my content. I hope you are safe and well wherever you are in the world. I am so sorry again for being absent for most of The Bull coverage for 2021. that I suffer from serious mental health issues that i have only have started seeking help for again. Also i had a lack of motivation towards Bull. . Because I felt I was not connecting to the material that the show was producing. so i stopped watching it all together. Nevertheless, I re- watched the whole season of Bull recently and I thought that I would give my recent thoughts and opinions on the show and I will be ready for what i believe to be the last season of the show. Season 6, when that comes back in 47 days time. . And I have come back better and hopefully stronger than ever. When I last posted to this website and social media, it gave me some critical feedback about my work. In every review I post to my website or on this platform. I make note to my viewers of my content that it’s okay to give constructive feedback. Because I enjoy getting that type of feedback. Because it gives me the opportunity to improve and explore my mistakes that I have made.

Now before i move on to the regularly scheduled program of My Season 5 Review of Bull. I have attached a button were you can click to see my statement of honesty of where i dive further about the situation of my work and my lack of Bull coverage on this website. If you are interested to find out more click that button below.

The Character Development of Season 5 for Bull

Dr. Jason Bull (Bull)

During Season 5 of the show, we get to see more of the softer side of Bull and what he would do for his clients and his family. Which, over I think, was great to see MW play aside to the role that we have seen since his last days on NCIS. Which allowed for the moments that are small but remembered for the character. At the moment, I am currently satisfied with how Bull is developing, but I feel like there is something missing at the moment. I don’t know. Let me know what you think. 

Benny 

S5 of the show was the Best for Freddy. As it gave Benny more overall development. But it was a bitter note, as FR is leaving the show for good. As I could see more of this character in the terms of the personal and professional relationships and the overall development of Benny, breaking away from TAC and creating his own identity. I also kind of had this notion that FR was leaving the show or fashion. Because of how the character was being written and also some media interviews that some of the cast members did in preview for S5 of the show. I just hope that the Bull writer’s room give Benny a storyline that would suit the character from leaving the show. And I wish FR all my best for what to his next projects are going to be in the future. 

Isabella (Izzy) Colon (Bull). 

Issy has been a breath of fresh air in the show for S5 because it gave Bull and the TAC team more of a family-style feeling of what the actors and the writers are trying to create on-screen. This Season to me feels like a re-introduction of Issy, as we have seen this character, as a high-powered businesswoman to a mother and a partner to Bull. So I hope that in season 6, we get to see more of the softer side of her and get to see more of her as a new woman to work with or exploring a new aspect of her character. 

Chunk 

S5 for Chunk was to establish the character more in the show's canon, As FR is leaving the show, I believe that the writers of the show we’re working towards making Chunk the principal attorney at TAC or creating aversion that could step into that role overall. But from what the writers are creating, I believe we may see a new character come into the Business. I just hope that we get to see more of Chuck in the courtroom with Bull as a lawyer. 

Marissa 

S5 for Marissa, to me, was a mixed bag for me, as we got to see some closure on her former marriage and what other problems that are she faced in terms of her personal life. But in her professional life that we can see that is she on the top of her game. I just hope that we get to see more of Marissa and her high-school crush on a coffee date. Because I think they would be the second-best couple on the show, after Bull and Issy.   

Taylor 

Taylor’s Season 5 for Me was lukewarm in terms of character development because we only see glimpses of her personal life and but there was not much else that I would consider being developed. It is sad to they underrated this character in terms of character development. I feel like she has become the Chuck of earlier seasons of the show.

Danny 

S5 for Danny, we finally got to see more of her in action in the professional work at TAC and in her personal life as we got to see more of her background come to life in the storyline about her dad. But I think I need to see more in terms of the background of this character because I believe she is one of the most even I would go as far as to say that is she is one of the most under-used characters on the show. I just hope that S6 gives her the best send-off or storylines for her actor. 

As we move through the character development of this show’s 5th season, the audience gets to see where the characters that we have fallen for in terms of the relationships that they have or the people that play those characters. I just hope all the behind-the-scenes drama and in media can handle it in a way that still creates the show that we know and has loved since 2016. So with that, let’s move on to my next major section of this review, it’s that romance and relationship side to the show that the audience tunes in for.

The Relationship Development of Season 5 of Bull

Through the show’s run over the last 5 to 6 years, we have seen some great and solid relationships and we have seen some of not the best and in this section we are going to be having a look at those relationships in more detail and what I would like to see happen in the future season that is coming for this cast of relationships 

Dr. Jason Bull and Isabella Colon (Bull). 

Well, well, here we are again with my favorite couple again on this show. During S5 of the show, we got to see more personal side to this relationship that we have not seen in the past, as they got and were divorced. But we get to see a proposal and a wedding during the show’s 5th season. So I hope we get to see more of these moments of the couple and the little family moments. Because they have become the heart of the show, that MW was promoting in a TV insider interview for the preview of S5 of the show. 

Bull and Benny, 

Throughout Season 5 of the show, we get to see more of Benny breaking out from Bull’s Shadow and creating a new identity and name for himself by running for a job that he has been wanting to do for several years and their personal relationship has plated out with the crappy season 4 and Baby Bull. Now Bull is focusing more on the family side of his life. As much as I have been a fan of this friendship on - screen, I think there was more to be explored of how the two met and what lead to the downfall of the relationship.

As FR is leaving the show, we will not see more of that great friendship that they had, because of how the writers of the show, creating more of a separation between the two. But overall I have enjoyed this relationship and I look forward to seeing what they can do in S6 with the actor ultimately leaving the show. 

Bull and Chunk 

As word has gotten the news about FR’s departure from the show early this month. So the development of this relationship has been critical role in the relationship side to the TAC team to be handled in a good way for the show. Now this friendship/mentorship develops further into Season 6 of the show. 

Bull and the TAC Team 

Throughout the 5th season of the show, I believe that there was a change in the dynamics of the team. This leads to I believe the most significant development of some characters since season 3. with the likes of Taylor and Danny. I hope in S6 of the show that they continue these dynamics and create more relationships within. Because I think we can bring a new character into the fold of the show. Which would allow for a new way of thinking on the show’s principles cast, maybe. 

Overall, the relationship development of Season 5 has been significant from the heart of the show, Bull and Isabella, and the relationship bombshells for Benny and Bull. Plus, the closure of some relationships that we have seen in the past comes to an untimely end. But I think that the Bull’s writers’ room of the show, continues to develop these relationships on the show.

I believe we are going to see more of a different type of show that we have not seen in a long time; I believe. On to the next and final section of this review. It is my overall thoughts on the season and what were my best, worst, and most cringe moments of the show. 

My Final Thoughts and Opinions of Season 5 of Bull.

Season 5 of Bull, in my humble opinion, is one of the better seasons of the show in terms of relationship and character development. As well as the brief moments of drama and emotions that were thrown in there for a delightful mixture. But I think there was something missing from the show. Maybe it’s the chemistry of some actors or it was the external factors of the show that created a greater impact than needed. But

I also believe that we got to see one of the most internally developed seasons over the years, which I think that the show needed to bring back more of those small and little minor details. Overall was a very good solid addition to the canon of the overall story. And with that, I would like to talk about my moments of best and worst and mostly the very cringe parts of the show’s 5th season. 

Best Moments of Bull Season 5

The little family moments that Bull and Issy have throughout the show’s 5th season. 

Some performances that were developed and created by FR on the show were the best that we have seen in a long time from him. I just wish that we could have seen more of those in the future season to come 

The relationship development was a critical aspect of the survival of the show for me. As help to see more of a change in the show's dynamics and created more of a universe in the cast of characters on the show. 

I want to see more of Marisa’s high school crush and her relationship with Dave. Because I think it would well suit them for the show overall dynamics of the relationships that the writers are creating 

The performances of the Show’s minor characters I have enjoyed this season are the following 

Marisa in Season 5 Episode 4, going through her divorce episode and how that played out for her

Chunk in the courtroom in most of the episodes were some of the better performances that the actor have given over the years 

Danny’s storyline of the death of her dad and how that ties into her overall character development going forward. 

The Worst Moments for Me in the 5th Season of Bull 

The moments of Bull S5 were the worst on the show. That some episodes had a case - base written into the storyline. It doesn’t match the overall story of the show. As I feel like they could have been written differently. Plus, the jump cuts are back and give me flashbacks to when I was watching Law and Order SVU over the past couple of months. I think that sometimes in a context that they can be well written but sometimes they can be off-putting. 

The cringe moments of S5 

These moments for me were the whole of episode 1. I don’t know why it is a cringe moment for me. I know some of my readers will disagree with me and say it is one of the better episodes of the show. Overall, there have been better premiere episodes of the show. I think this episode gave the audience of the show a sign of what the characters and the relationships were going to think and what the writers want to achieve overall in the show. if I ever go back and watch S5 again from the start, that is one episode I will not miss in seeing. 

Overall, The 5th Season of Bull was critical and successfully added to the canon in the overall story of the show. There were some moments that were the best and some should have stayed in the writers’ room. I hope we continue to see this trend going forward in S6 and beyond. If the show has any more stories to tell. 

This end of my overall review of Season 5 of Bull, Let me know in the comments section below or on social media. Of what you would like to see the coming seasons of the show. And what were the moments of the show that stood out to you as bad or very good?

Overall Rating for Season 5 of Bull is 7/10

Until Next Time I Will See You Later The Woman Who Writes.

#SupermanandLois Season 1 Finale "Last Sons of Krypton" Recap and Review

Lois and Clark are, understandably, losing it. John Henry’s AI can’t find Jordan either.

The Cushings get to Jonathan and General Lane. They definitely need to go to a hospital and get checked out, but General Lane says that there isn’t time.

The Eradicator and Zeta-Jordan continue to plan.

Lois tries to get something out of Larr but is unsuccessful.

There is a full-on riot brewing in Downtown Smallville. General Lane has to deal with it injured, and the Cushings decide to stay around and help.

Clark yells Jordan’s name for all the world to hear. Jordan responds.

The Eradicator is now in Smallville.

Clark finds Jordan near some kind of volcano, but then Zeta-Rho breaks through. He taunts and fights Clark.

This is a distraction while the Eradicator turns D.O.D. soldiers into the Krypton Defense Council. John Henry tries to stop it, but he can’t. They then fly away.

General Lane wants everyone to evacuate. Chrissy and the Cushings will spread the word.

Lois knows that Clark cannot do this all himself, so she offers a plan. Clark and John Henry will stop Edge and the Defense Council, while Lois gets through to Jordan using the device Edge used to get into Clark’s memories. She’ll have Jonathan to protect her in case something goes wrong.

Everyone is leaving Smallville.

John Henry is tinkering with his suit when Jonathan brings him some extra ammunition.

General Lane gives Lois the technology to get into Jordan’s mind as well as Thaddeus Kilgrave’s gun. She gives the gun to Jonathan, to be used only in emergencies.

The faux Kryptonians dig into the ground for more X-Kryptonite and the Eradicator begins to build a bubble in the Smallville mines.

Clark and John Henry find Zeta-Jordan and the Defense Council. They manage to knock Zeta-Jordan out and John Henry delivers him to Lois and Jonathan.

Lois goes into Jordan’s mind.

The bubble of Eradicator energy starts erupting around Smallville and the people evacuating are trapped. The Cushings begin helping as many people as they can.

Zeta-Rho tells Lois that she’ll never find Jordan.

Jonathan pleads with Jordan to wake up, but when he does, it isn’t Jordan.

Kyle heroically saves someone from a burning building while Lana and Sarah help people hunker down in the diner.

Jonathan uses the sonic weapon on Jordan. It works, but not well enough, and Zeta-Jordan begins choking him.

Lois finds Jordan. She tells him that fighting his entire life has made him stronger than Zeta-Rho will ever know and that she needs him to use that strength to fight harder than he ever has before. We get a flashback of Jordan’s memories and then he stops choking Jonathan.

John Henry is running dangerously low on oxygen, but he makes the throw he needs to make while Clark holds the Eradicator in position.

His oxygen runs out and he falls to Earth, but Clark catches him. Edge is still alive? He tells Clark that he only wanted a family, and Clark tells him that he had one.

The D.O.D. is moving out and people are rebuilding.

Superman gives Chrissy the whole story, or at least most of it. He tells her that Morgan Edge was a Kryptonian and that he was trying to resurrect Krypton, but he doesn’t mention the half-brother part.

“All Right Now” plays as Kyle puts on a barbecue. He got his old job back and the Cushings are going to stay.

Jonathan is playing video games with the football guys when Tegan gives him eyes. Even the writers accept that the boy needs a win.

Lois offers to buy half the Smallville Gazette from Chrissy. Chrissy accepts. They’re gonna be partners!

General Lane tells John Henry that he’s stepping down from active duty. Color me shocked!!

Lois and John Henry talk. He can’t stay, because there is simply too much different Earth disconnect for him when he looks at her.

Jordan and Sarah talk. She loves him back and it’s adorable.

The Kents have a funeral for Jor-El.

John Henry gets ready to leave when a ship crashes near the farm. Who should be inside it but John Henry’s daughter Natalie? Cue the drama!

That was great and everything, but I need to know what happened to Edge. Is he in D.O.D. custody? Does he still have powers? Why did that not kill him? I still have questions, people! Otherwise, very good. 8/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 1 Episode 14 "The Eradicator" Recap and Review

The episode begins with Edge becoming the Eradicator and is laced with flashbacks.

              It then jumps to three weeks later. The Cushings are having an Open House, Jonathan has been working on John Henry’s hammer with him, and the fourth local business just went under.

              Oh, and Chrissy wrote a rather scathing article about the Department of Defense. General Lane is ticked. Lois defends Chrissy’s right to publish it, but General Lane wonders if he can ever win with her.

              Clark talks to Lana about her and her family possibly leaving Smallville. She doesn’t feel that she has a choice, no matter how hard it is to think about.

              Jordan and Sarah talk about much the same thing. Sarah doesn’t think they will move because they can’t sell the house. They then get caught kissing by Sarah’s little sister, Sophie.

              Jonathan is with John Henry and he’s asking far too many questions. He eventually pokes the wrong button, and John Henry shuts him out.

              Chrissy got an offer to sell the Smallville Gazette. She doesn’t want to, but if she doesn’t, she’ll be losing money within a month.

              The Eradicator process is now complete. Dang! He was in that much pain for three weeks? You have to admire that level of commitment, if nothing else.

General Lane agreed to have a town hall, but with Chrissy’s article, it is not going well.

Kyle tells Lana that he’s going to clear out his stuff at the fire station, and they talk about whether they are really gonna leave Smallville. They both need jobs, and they aren’t going to get them in Smallville at the moment.

Jonathan, Jordan, and Sarah are at the diner. Some of the football guys invite Jonathan and Jordan to a party, but not Sarah. She tells them to go anyway. She has an appointment to makeover her sister anyway.

Lois tells the town hall that Morgan Edge is MIA and has been for some time.

When Kyle picks up his gear from the firehouse, there is one firefighter that doesn’t want him to go. He believed in her, and she believes in him.

The Eradicator picks up Leslie Larr.

Mrs. Powell confronts General Lane about the circumstances behind her son’s death. It’s at that moment that General Lane gets the tip about Edge. Everyone leaves the town hall worse than they found it.

Edge is in Metropolis with Larr. Lois insists on going with Clark and John Henry because there is some bigger picture that they aren’t seeing.

General Lane calls Jordan, but Jonathan tells him to be a normal kid for an hour, echoing what John Henry said to him earlier. Tegan wants to talk to Jonathan.

Kyle got a job in Bristol, which is two hours away. Sarah flips out.

The Eradicator says something in Kryptonian and four people fly out of the crowd. Clark goes after them, Lois tells everyone to get inside and goes to find the person filming the chaos, and John Henry stays to deal with Larr and the Eradicator.

Jonathan and Tegan talk. She apologizes and then tells him that while she did want information, she also does like him. She moved to Smallville from Central City a couple of years ago, so she understands what he’s going through. Her dad is in prison, and I am now taking bets on which Rogue or supervillain he is.

Sarah shows up to tell Jordan that she’s moving when someone turns on the news. Lois is reporting from a high building and then Leslie Larr appears behind her, JUST LIKE ON JOHN HENRY’S EARTH!!!!! At the last possible second, she gets hit by John Henry’s hammer. He got to avenge his wife’s death, kind of, and I’m super happy about it.

Clark and John Henry have rounded up all the faux Kryptonians and go to deal with Larr and the Eradicator. The Eradicator sends out some sort of energy blast and then flies away.

Jordan and Sarah talk until a very angry General Lane finds Jonathan and Jordan. He also agrees to drive Sarah home.

Clark, John Henry, and Lois question Leslie Larr, who tells them that Edge is the Eradicator. They ask her where he went, and she says to make more Kryptonians.

The Eradicator flies in front of General Lane and the kids and wrecks the car. General Lane tells Jonathan to shoot him with the Kryptonite gun he has stored in the car. Either he’s not fast enough or it doesn’t work, because the Eradicator steals Jordan from the back seat. He has just enough time to tell Sarah that he loves her before he’s taken away.

Jonathan activates his “Superman please help” button and tells Clark what happened when he shows up. He also tells Sarah to go and get her dad.

The Eradicator is turning Jordan.

Clark can’t find them anywhere.

The Eradicator put Zeta Rho’s consciousness into Jordan’s body. That is all kinds of messed up.

Cue the heart palpitations y’all!!!! John Henry definitely wins MVP for this episode. I wonder how they’ll reverse engineer the process to get Jordan back. One more episode and I am HERE FOR IT!!! 8.5/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 1 Episode 13 "Fail Safe" Recap and Review

The episode starts with Edge still smirking and goes into flashback. Edge is a teenager and asks for a rest from being tortured by his father. His father of course tells him that he’s being weak and that he isn’t ready for what is to come. Nobody mentions the fact that Zeta-Rho is not the one being tortured, so it’s easy for him to stand to the side and criticize.

Clark comes into to where Edge’s cell is and asks him about the Eradicator and Leslie Larr. Edge tells him nothing useful. Clark also took Edge’s crystal, but since he is an exponentially better person, did not destroy it.

The D.O.D. is going to stick around a little longer to shut down the mines and remove the X-Kyrptonite. There’s going to be an all-school assembly where Jonathan and Jordan can hear all about it. They have the cover story down.

The mayor asks Kyle to take a leave of absence from the fire while he calms everything down and sets the record straight.

While Sarah is being completely shunned, Jonathan is now popular because all of the kids know that General Lane is his grandfather. Both boys play hooky from the assembly for this reason. Jordan goes with Sarah, and Jonathan is lured out by the girl that rejected him a week ago.

Chrissy and Lois need to get on the story now. Lois promises to get a statement from the D.O.D.

Clark takes food to John Henry Irons, who is still staying with them. He has a Kryptonian tracking system. He and Clark detect Leslie Larr at the same time. Clark goes to intercept while John contacts the D.O.D. Clark manages to intercept Leslie Larr before she rams into the D.O.D. and he captures her, with a bit of an assist from John Henry Irons.

General Lane then drops a bomb. He wants to get ride of 7734. He wants to put all of the Kryptonian weapons, except for those needed to keep Edge and Larr in custody, in concrete and sink them to the bottom of the ocean.

Jonathan is in the car with Tegan, who is low key interrogating him.

Jordan and Sarah are walking in the woods.

Kyle and Lana are at the diner talking about how she needs a new job. Some of the firefighters come in and are beyond awkward around Kyle. He gets mad and Lana drags him away before anything drastic happens.

The D.O.D. is not going to release a statement. General Lane doesn’t want more scrutiny on their family, and telling the world that Edge is Superman’s brother is a whole new can of worms.

There’s another Edge flashback. He’s still a teenager, but he’s ready to go look for the Eradicator.

Clark continues to ask about the Eradicator. Edge gives him a speech about how good it feels to let go.

Lois tells Chrissy that the D.O.D. is not releasing a statement. Chrissy knows that there is more to the story, but Lois won’t tell her. Unless or until Lois is ready to tell the truth, Chrissy lets her go.

Jonathan is still being interrogated, but he realizes that he’s being used and leaves. Poor thing.

Kyle is still beyond ticked and Lana needs a job. They begin to consider moving.

Sarah’s hideout is a family spot, but apparently not a legal one. Her and Jordan get caught and arrested.

While General Lane gives Clark an inventory of the Kryptonite weapons, Clark says that he doesn’t want them destroyed. He says that General Lane was right to keep them as a failsafe.

John Henry Irons is working on his suit and arguing with his A.I. until Jonathan comes in. They’re interrupted by Clark, who busts Jonathan for not being in school.

General Lane calls Lois because he’s worried about Clark.

Clark and Jonathan get interrupted by a very angry Lois. She thinks that it’s insane that he wants General Lane to keep the Kryptonite weapons after all they’ve done to convince him that they weren’t necessary. He thinks that the world needs a weapon to protect them from him. They get a phone call that Jordan and Sarah were arrested, and she decides to go alone. She needs to be peak mad when she picks her son up from jail.

While at the sheriff’s station, Lana overhears the mayor being a politician and blasts him for it. He wasn’t trying to help Kyle. He was trying to cover his own butt and that ain’t right. Lois commiserates with her.

She talks to Clark again. He explains that when Zod was in his body, he felt what it was like to truly let go, and it felt good. That feeling scares him. After a good bit more convincing, she agrees that he is allowed to have a failsafe if it makes him feel better. The catch is that the D.O.D. cannot be in charge of said failsafe.

Clark asks John Henry Irons to be in charge of the 7734 project. He takes a good bit of convincing, but eventually promises to talk to General Lane about it.

Lois apologizes to Chrissy. She isn’t objective enough and wants Chrissy to write the story with the statement that she managed to pry out of General Lane.

Flashback again to Edge learning about Clark for the first time. This is the one time he defies his father. He says that he can get Clark to help without Edge having to die.

Edge’s eyes begin to glow blue.

Lois and Clark finally talk to Jonathan and Jordan about exactly how much trouble they are in.

General Lane sends in a team to see what is going on with Edge. He doesn’t have any vital signs, his whole body begins to glow blue, and then there’s an explosion. He flies away. General Lane calls Superman, but Edge is nowhere to be found.

Edge is absorbing the sun and becoming the Eradicator. That’s so cool because in the comics the Eradicator was person-like. It was a robot and then humanoid and then a consciousness in a machine, but person-like is shorter.

This series continues to absolutely blow my mind, even with episodes that could be considered slow. 8/10.

#SupermanandLois Season 1 Episode 12 "Through the Valley of Death" Recap and Review

The episode starts with John Henry Irons at the Metropolis Institute of Technology. He’s looking for someone. A younger sister? Before we get any detail, he gets the call from Lois.

              Clark is suffering. I’ve been wondering about the red beam of light. It’s obviously being used in conjunction with the Eradicator, but it’s something else too, since Zeta-Rho used it on Edge when he was a child and Edge still appears to be himself. Red Kryptonite maybe? While thinking about this, I almost didn’t catch the important part of Edge’s monologue. They’re replacing Clark with General Zod, who in this time timeline died with Krypton and is not stuck in the Phantom Zone somewhere. Two things come to mind. One is that this plan always seemed very Zod-like, and two is that I’ve never seen Zod as a lackey to anyone before.

              Lois tries to comfort Jordan and Jonathan. She eventually gets them to go at least try to rest and then General Lane shows up. She tells him about Edge’s Fortress in the desert and then she finally cries into his shoulder.

              Kyle has to go to a special D.O.D debrief and therapy session, and then he’s going to try and go to work. Sarah thinks he should rest, but he tells her that it’ll be good to get into a routing. One of the firefighters shows up at his house to advise him to stay home, as he’s persona non grata at the moment. People need time to calm down.

              Jonathan finds Jordan brooding. Jonathan has decided that they aren’t going to sit around and do nothing. They’re going to find Clark.

              John Henry Irons shows up to talk to Lois and General Lane. She wants to organize a rescue mission. Irons just wants Superman dead. Lois storms off and General Lane assures Irons that he’s taking all necessary precautions. He just hasn’t told Lois that yet.

              Jordan hasn’t found Clark yet. He doesn’t think he can. He tried to be strong when Edge came, and it didn’t do him any good. Jonathan doesn’t allow him to wallow. They just have to keep trying.

              Irons made a rocket propelled projectile for Lex Luthor on his Earth. It drains a Kryptonian of their powers long enough for them to be killed. He is not; however, completely certain that it works. The last time he used it, he was transported to this Earth before he found out if it worked.

              Kyle, Lana, and Sarah get harassed on the way to the D.O.D. debrief. Lois is on their side, even if no one else is.

              She then talks to Lana and Kyle privately about what it felt like to be someone else. Lana doesn’t remember anything at all, but Kyle remembers bits and pieces. He couldn’t picture his family, and when he tried to fight back, he could feel this darkness pressing down on him. It hurt immensely to fight back, and he got this sense that his family would be better off if he let go.

              Clark is still fighting. At one point, he flies out of Edge’s fortress and screams for Jordan. Jordan hears him, but Edge cuts in quickly. He tells Jordan that he won’t find his father when he comes looking.

              Diggle is here!!!!! General Lane asked A.R.G.U.S. asked to deliver some tech but did not say that he was going to use it to make Irons’ Superman killing weapon. Needless to say, he’s a little ticked. Jonathan and Jordan interrupt the pow wow to talk to Lois.

              The Cushing house has been vandalized. Lana manages to talk Kyle down from doing anything more rash than cleaning up the living room.

              Jonathan and Jordan tell Lois and General Lane where Clark is and then they leave. General Lane is going to send Irons in. He doesn’t think he has any other choice.

              Lois finds Irons first and does the big no-no. She tells him everything. She needs hope and he will not give it to her.

              Meanwhile Diggle is trying to convince General Lane that killing Superman is a terrible idea.

              Lana and Sarah are trying to clean the paint off. It doesn’t budge until Kyle uses some paint thinner and “American muscle.” This causes a good old fashioned water fight, which is cute.

              Jonathan and Jordan find Lois in the newspaper office. She doesn’t know if it’s too late or not.

              Clark is getting tired and Zod comes through.

              Jonathan confronts Irons. He tells him what he saw in the videos in his van. He knows what happened on his Earth and he begs Irons not to kill his dad. There’s always another way.

              When Irons gets to the Badlands, he’s immediately confronted by Zod. They fight until Clark is knocked upside the head enough to be himself for a moment. He tells Irons to kill him, which manages to convince Irons to talk to him instead. Clark then fights so hard that he passes out. When he wakes up, he’s ok. Now they’re going after Edge with the missile they still have left.

              Zeta Rho gaslights and guilt trips Edge into doing something. He flies up into space, and possibly uses the Eradicator on himself before the missile brings him back to Earth? Clark then knocks him out because he won’t shut up.

              He comes back to the farm, kisses Lois, and hugs the boys. Irons is with him. Jonathan apologizes for hitting him with a truck. Lois invites him for dinner, but he still has business with General Lane. After all, family time is sacred.

              The Cushings have dinner all together and it’s adorable.

              Leslie Larr is still in the wind, but General Lane is confident that she’ll be captured soon. When that happens, the D.O.D. will leave

              Edge is in a Kryptonite box in a secret government facility, but he’s smirking. The big question remains. Is he still himself? If not, then who would be a bigger deal than Zod?

I’m glad they didn’t do the whole Evil Superman thing for very long, but I’m fascinated by what the contingency plan is. This isn’t over yet. 8/10.

Charmed Season 3 Episode 15 "Shrodinger's Future" Recap

In this episode of Charmed, Maggie says they have to go to the future to save it after having a vision. The girls don’t want Mel to go and endanger the baby so Maggie and Macy use Celeste’s watch and go to the future by themselves. They also have earbuds so that they can communicate with Celeste. Maggie and Macy are shocked to find out the world seems like it has ended when they get to the future. They meet Abigail from the future and she tells them that there is an evil that takes over and leaves just the worst part of you. Abigail also says it infected Maggie and she had to kill her. Mel from the future calls it the “whispering evil” and was working on a cure for it. Maggie and Macy see from papers that Mel was working on that it will come three weeks from their present time. A demon comes into the command center and kills Abigail by throwing fire at her thought Maggie and Macy don’t see who it is. The watch they used to get to the future broke so they need to find a way to fix it. Celeste says she’ll hide it in the command center and it will be there in the future. The girls go back to the command center but they find the demon that killed Abigail and find out it is Macy from the future. Maggie and Macy run to a mall to escape and Harry runs to put the piece for the watch in the mall and they find it and are able to get back to the present. In the end, we can see a creature (was it, Macy, from the future? I wasn’t sure) that was making the same clicking noise as Macy from the future is now in the present.

It was funny to see Harry regress and go through the different stages in this episode. I am interested to see what will happen now that he is human. I do not find Mel and Ruby together that interesting but I’m not sure why. It might be because Ruby does not seem like that interesting a character and Mel seems more interesting than her. It also might be the fact that Ruby does not want to do magic so they don’t seem to match well. It was nice to see the sisters not have their allergies and be able to hug each other. It was cool to see the split-screen between the future and present when Harry was hiding the watch piece. I am excited to learn more about the whispering evil find out how the sister fights it. This seems like a really good storyline.

Overall, I give this episode a 9 out of 10.

#SupermanandLois Season 1 Episode 11 "A Brief Reminiscience In-Between Cataclysmic Events"

Teenage Clark is wandering around in the cold with the crystal. Frustrated, he throws it down. It lodges into the ice, begins to glow, and the landscape begins to shift. He has to heat vision his way out and then he finds the cave that becomes the Fortress of Solitude. The crystal is now levitating above a pedestal in the ice. Clark inserts the crystal into the pedestal and meets Jor-El. Jor-El tells him about his history and his abilities. We see Clark train until he becomes an adult and flies. Jor-El tells him that he has to figure out why he wants to be the Earth’s champion.

Clark goes home and tells Martha everything.

He goes to find Lana, who at this point has already married Kyle.

Martha had a dream of the adult him flying, and made him a suit, minus the crest.

We now see an extended version of the save scene from the pilot. It’s still completely adorable.

Clark is in his Daily Planet interview. He thankfully doesn’t need health insurance and he’s willing to go pick up dry cleaning, so he gets the job. He’s paired with Lois Lane as his mentor, and he’s so cute I don’t think I can physically handle it. Anyway, Lois is mad about the “mysterious miracle man” because he is taking attention off of other stories. One of those stories is about a psycho in a metal mask and a trench coat that’s attacking minority neighborhoods. Clark decides to help her with the story and there’s a montage of them working on the story until they’ve narrowed it down to a few guys.

She thanks him for his help and offers to try and get him his own beat. He likes being her sidekick and stays to work with her instead of going home and watching Seinfeld.

Lois isn’t there when he gets to work the next morning. She’s interviewing a source, who Clark determines is Henry Miller. He runs off to help.

When he shows up, Mr. Psycho, aka Atom Man, has a flamethrower and is trying to convince Lois that he’s the hero. News flash: he’s not. Clark arrives just in time to save her from being burned alive by the flamethrower. He then throws two bombs in opposite directions. Clark is able to get both of them, while Lois tazes Miller. Clark lets Lois name him when they introduce themselves and I got actual chills.

Lois then gets Superman’s first tv interview, where we get “Truth, Justice, and the American Way.” Lois’s mic is on the fritz, so they have to pause the interview. Her producer thinks that Superman is into her, but she’s not interested, as she’s in love with Clark. She hasn’t even told him that yet, so it’s super adorable that Superman definitely hears the whole conversation.

Clark takes Lois to meet Martha. Martha loves her and Clark tells Lois that he’s Superman.

We see Clark propose to Lois at the Fortress of Solitude, in a very similar way to the timeline in Smallville where Clark proposes to Lana, but this one of course sticks. We then see the wedding, and Clark telling Jor-el about the wedding. Then the weirdness starts. Jor-El tells Clark that he has to leave. Now.

He wakes up and Lois is pregnant.

Time more obviously shifts when Clark finds out they’re having twins. He sees something outside the door. He’s not really there. This is just a memory and Edge is there.

Clark then actually wakes up. He and Edge are in the fortress, with metal headbands on. They are a Kryptonian invention used to sift through an unconscious person’s memories. Edge is ready to negotiate Clark’s surrender. He threatens Jonathan and Jordan. Jor-El tries to interrupt, but Edge destroys the crystal and causes the Fortress to begin to crumble. He then beats Clark unconscious and then leaves.

Lois talks to Lana and Kyle, who have more information than all of the other people that were used by Morgan Edge have.

Sarah is with Jordan and Jonathan. She thanks Jonathan for telling her the whole ugly truth, oh the irony, and then she asks him to leave so that she can talk to Jordan. “Talk” isn’t really the right word, as she kisses him in the middle of his panic mode.

Kyle apologizes to Lois, for everything.

“Uncle Morgan” confronts Lois, Jordan, and Jonathan at home. Jordan tries to protect everyone, but he’s not strong enough or trained enough. He promises to kill them all slowly, but a still very battered Clark shows up before he does so. He surrenders and my heart literally shatters.

We then get a flashback to Edge building his own fortress, which he does in the desert. Zeta-Rho is an old abusive dick of a man and teaches his son through pain and torture. Edge so obviously wants a family, but Zeta-Rho reinforces the idea that he needs no one, except for him of course.

Edge now brings Clark before his father, and Zeta-Rho tortures Clark. Edge feels a little bad while this is happening, but I don’t really want him to feel remorseful because I want him to be completely and totally obliterated. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a villain be well and truly destroyed, and I need it.

Lois calls John Henry Irons. She obviously can’t tell him what really happened, so she tells him that Superman has been turned.

I’m in actual pain, and I hate that we have another break. 8/10.
