Loyal Subjekts & O Mother Where Art Thou? - "We're his family. And no matter what happens, we always will be."

Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. 

We’re going to catch up on the last two episodes in a bit but first I wanted to revisit our discussion on the timeline of Superman & Lois. Sam I made a new virtual pal over the last two weeks. A new listener reached out and wrote some really kind words about our podcast. So, shout out to Jen Russell who hosts a podcast of her own about the NBC show Blacklist. So check out the Keen Minds Podcast. You can find it on Apple Podcasts and on twitter https://twitter.com/keen_minds?lang=en. So Jen and I have been talking a lot about Superman & Lois, which she loves and she wanted to help us with our understanding of the timeline. This is what she said:

“The topic of Lois and Clark's ages, and I think it does actually work in this timeline, assuming Lois and Clark are about the same age. The Arrowverse Fandom page has Clark's birth year set in 1979, so that would put him 41-42 if this is based on current day. The twins are 14, so they would have been born in 2007, putting Clark in his late 20's when they were born. If Lois was also born in '79 and graduated college at 22 (and I could see her graduating early), that could put her as 6 years between graduation and the boys being born. You have to squint a little for it, but for TV it's closer than a lot of shows bother with.

For Tyler being 33, I think they address that in the pilot when Lana says it's like he doesn't age. I think Clark is supposed to be early 40's, just looks young.”

What do you think about that explanation Sam? 

I just want to give one more shout-out to her. She makes AMAZING Superman & Lois gifs on her tumblr which is takadasaiko.tumblr.com
