We bring you a super-sized episode for the Season 2 Final!  We kick things off with some show and tell of some new Super-goodies (shout out to Jim Bowers @capedwonderjim)! We're talking about the vacuum of space, throwing sh** into the sun, Tal-Ro's redemption, what we want to see in Season 3 and so much more!

 

EPISODE 15 ““It’s Dad, It’s Clark, It’s Superman””

Let’s talk about Superman and Lois Season 2 Episode 15

S02E15 - “Waiting for Superman” 

Directed by:

Gregory Smith

Written By:

Brent Fletcher and Todd Helbing

Chrissy Beppo (Sofia Hasmik), with the authorization of the Department of Defense, has a message for the people of Smallville: not only is the merging of planets real, it is happening.

HENRY'S NOTES:

DOD officially declaring what’s happening. Reference to “Bizarro self.” Why is Christy Beppo making this announcement? 

Lois used the word “blip” - Kevin Feige sending his Disney lawyers after them?

This makes sense that Nat is having PTSD from losing her world.

Oooh the Loises switched. “Our Bizarro Mom just magically appeared.”

Jon saying “You’re our family too” and Nat responded with a hug and “I really liked having brothers” is the kind of emotional beat stuff that make the show good. The faux conflicts are not. 

People disappearing and cars crashing is very reminiscent of Infinity War. Is it too derivative?

Tal Ro - “I’m fighting for you. You and your family are the only people that matter to me on this planet” followed by a bro hug. Chef’s kiss. 

Jordan, close your goddamn mouth while you’re in space. “You saved my life nephew, i’m forever in your debt”

“There’s still one person that can stop her, me”

YES!!! LOVE WHEN SUPERMAN THROWS SHIT INTO THE SUN!!! Love that he’s getting thrown into it. 

Hahaha why is Nat’s AI german? “Frau Irons”

HOW ARE SUPERMAN AND TAL-RO TALKING IN OUTER SPACE?!!!!! That’s as ridiculous as Superman IV. Nice that Clark says, “I love you too” though. 

Who are all these people who are like, waiting for the rapture? Are the people of Bizarro Smallville super religious? 

So one throw away line from Sam confirmed that this is not in the Arrowverse - “and even though we only have your father on this planet.” That’s fine but I wish they would’ve told us earlier so we didn’t waste time and energy getting upset about it. 

I love seeing superman being burned alive while also supercharged up by the sun. Reminds me of Superman #1,000,000.

“It’s Dad, It’s Clark, It’s Superman” - 

Overloading the parasite is a classic Superman move. 

He’s circling the Earths! Like superman the movie!!!!!

Love his Supercharged S shield. 

I don’t get the physics of how he did what he did but I like it. 

Miracle Monday! A reference to both the Elliot S Maggin novel and the day in which Superman saved the world. “Truth Justice and a Better Tomorrow”

Oh come on Lois. Now Crissy Beppo knows the secret? Jesus. 

Love a good Superman festival in Smallville and so cute that kids were cosplaying as Nat and John Henry. 

Nat and John Henry eating Rhubarb pie, Martha’s specialty

“With you around, always” - Lois in response to “are you ok?”

Kyle’s babyface from heel turn was done so smoothly and so well over the past two seasons.

“I wish everyone could be as happy as i am”

You never stop trying to help people do you? I love you Superman”

Why are Ally and Bizarro Ally in the same cell?

Uncle Tal buying F-150s for the nephews is amazing. Love that he went to Bizarro world to be their hero. 

BRUNO MANHEIM - INTERGANG!!!!!! Let’s have a season of Clark investigating them. 

Lucy and Lois made up, which is nice. I wonder where she’s going.

Clark is finally not wearing his glasses with the family and I love his Chris Evans, Knives Out sweater. 

Throwing a crystal to make the fortress is very reminiscent of Superman The Movie AND doing it in the ocean is like the comics. Love it all. “It’s only the beginning.”
