Edge having his suspicions about Lois agreeing to move to Smallville was a nice character beat. She can easily brush it off as “I’m putting my family’s needs before mine” but that comment let us (and her) know that he’s going to be keeping a close eye on her.

Can we take a moment to talk about The Crisis Problem™?

1. & 6. I’ve just finished a whole comment on this, but yes, agreed.

Lane knows something very important that no one else does - one of Jordan’s parents is powered. Big clue. Plus, there are more than a few people who hit all out of proportion to their size. 

I am enjoying the effort the writing is doing thinking about all of the big and small effects the move to Smallville is having, where both the good guys and bad guys are starting to notice Superman not being around Metropolis as much as he used to. Or with Edge telling Lois her move to Smallville was just as suspect…

Clark putting on his glasses is the superhero equivalent of closing the door to your home office when you’re done for the day.

I can see the Lane-Kents wanting to give Jordan as regular a life as possible. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more from the Zoolander School For Kids Who Can’t Super Good sooner than later, either. 

You and Dave aren’t wrong, but winning covers up a lot of controversies, as our sports fan friends can probably tell you. 

With the way they’re setting this show up, they really could get away with Superman actually being Superman while he’s being Superman. They’re getting better, at least, compared to Supergirl. Supergirl needs to learn a valuable lesson about family, love, or life before she can remember she has freezy breath. Superman…

This is how I interpreted it. He was oblivious and then dismissive when she tried to have a conversation about it.

I wonder if Lois has a younger sister Lucy post-Crisis. I would like Jenna Dewan to return to that  role though they seem to be recasting almost all of the Supergirl people on this show, somewhat unnecessarily in my view 

I don’t think that’s what she was saying, I think she was upset because her husband didn’t notice or care that she was uncomfortable. Her husband is the one who assumed that meant she wanted him to jump in and defend her but most likely she just wanted him to empathize with her instead of immediately defending Edge.

I see this criticism, but Morgan Edge here totally blows away the Maxwell Lord character in WW 1984. And frankly what Supergirl did with him. He was just a cartoon on Supergirl. I agree with the grade, just for different reasons. This episode was just not that exciting, but I get they were trying to do the whole…

My usual random thoughts:

I am just not into another “evil billionaire wants to take over the world and nobody sees it but the main characters” trope. I think this show could have been better if they just focused on the family and the military’s long held fear that superman could turn evil. There is a tension there. The more time he spends…

it was more of Supes not wanting collateral damage. Once he got the call from his son, it was more expedient to knock the other citizens out at the same time.

Superman politely forgets that he can defeat Thaddeus Killgrave in the blink of an eye until his boys call for help.

Jessica Jones was Marvel. Superman is DC. Different characters.

In other words, it sounds a whole lot like how Kryptonite exposure functioned back on Smallville.

He’s honestly pretty chill for a high school football coach. Which is to say, that level of assholery used to be much higher, and Jon Voight’s performance in Varsity Blues is also not much of an exaggeration.
