S02E11 - “Truth and Consequences” 

Directed by:

David Ramsey (Arrow)

Writing Credits:

Katie Aldrin and Jai Jamison

 

We pick up right where we left off with Jon-El smirking at Lois, who is still standing on the porch with Jordan. Jon-El catches sight of his doppelganger, Jonathan, standing not too far away. He lunges at him and Jordan tries to intervene but Jon-El appears to be stronger and faster than him. 

Henry's Notes:

 

Jordan used the words “bizarro self.” 

“You’re my son and I love you and I’m not going to let anything happen to you.” Clark is the best. 

Do Clark and Lana have the same coat?

Is the opposite of 1 day, 33 days?

“If that’s what the secret is doing, it’s doing a crap job” - Jon

Bizarro Jonathan is chewing up the scenery, so good. Incredibly violent what he did to Lana. Could’ve killed her!

What is Sarah’s shirt? "Merchant Unite?"

Haha - Primus cover band “what’s Primus”

Jonathan looked like he was going to a rave in the Matrix - lol

Yes! Finally some John Henry and Nat science! More of this.

Love hearing Lois say, “you’re right. I’m sorry”

“NEGATIVE ZONE?!” Uh oh, Here come the Fantastic Four

It’s always confusing to me how effective and deadly kryptonite is. I never kills anyone right away. 

Brother vs Brother showdown! - Final punch could’ve been bigger.

Just get the K out Lana! Jesus!

I’m feeling kinda meh about the reveal. Like it seemed like some sort of romantic gesture but that’s not the relationship they have. Nor have they really shown that Lana is Clark’s best friend. So it sort of seemed like the kids and Lois got ramped up about the secret without any sort of previous set up.

Nat and Steel - Is he going to destroy the portal?
