This one was kind of weak, yeah. Too much parody, not enough finding an interesting direction to take things in.

I don’t know, I enjoyed this episode. I think what it comes down to is, President Curtis is maybe the only recurring antagonist of Rick’s that actually works. Maybe it’s because he fits the unique niche of someone who doesn’t want to destroy Rick, just control him.

It is a grave injustice that the turkey episode of WKRP is the only one people remember. That was a great show and I would say the turkey thing was a below average episode.

Agreed that seasons 5 and 6 were great. The main thing they suffered from was, the show could no longer reside in the comfortable place it was at the beginning. Which is fine! Good shows grow out of what they once were, and remain good ... and that’s seasons 5 and 6.

I am going to be a bummer, and I apologize.

Someone mentioned the other week that Jordan Elsass as Jonathan is the unsung MVP of the cast, and I think they had a point. Honestly, the entire cast is exemplary; but there are so many quiet scenes where Jordan just makes it work. The scene with Jonathan and John Henry Irons was a great example of that; his point…

Eh, I think there was more under the hood than surface jokes. For one thing, since Planetina was referring to her ring-people as “teens”, I didn’t expect them to be adults, much less complete sell-outs who were treating her like a teen rock star to exploit. And maybe I should have foreseen it, but I hadn’t anticipated…

You know how, in old comics, Lois suspected Clark was really Superman yet could never prove it to her own satisfaction? I sometimes amuse myself by pretending that current Lois is stupid old Lois. So that scene where Clark reveals his powers to Lois by rising into the air ... ? I like to imagine her saying, “Clark,…

Clark really is charming as a nerdy dad and a nerdy husband.

Called it with a different personality being Eradicated into Clark.

“That being said, the Mr. Nimbus stuff fell flat for me. The guy had one joke, which isn’t all that funny to begin with, and just kept going on and on and on.”

If DC made a huge mistake and let me be an editor, and I had to come up with a new spin on Lex Luthor, I would recast him as very much like Doc Savage: adventurer, inventor, celebrity. He’d even be a pretty good guy too, with only two major character flaws: he expects to be treated as the most amazing guy in the room,…

Indeed, they could have shown the people getting up off the ground, their eyes glowing a feeble red that flickers and then finally disappears, and suddenly they all seem to snap back to their senses. That would have clarified things a bit.

“You know what would be super dope?” - Yeah, if Silver Age Lois got super powers. Hey-oohhhhhhh!

Regarding 3 - Remember how Emily, Kyle, and others reported that they were smarter and more clear-headed after undergoing that nice Mr. Edge’s process? That suggests to me that the Eradicator process was doing more than putting a new personality in them; it was also reconfiguring them to be more Kryptonian.

“I don’t think this is supposed to be a separate continuity from Supergirl.”

This episode was darn solid, almost entirely by dint of the characters showing some intelligence. Most shows (especially CW Arrowverse shows) rely on characters being a little less intelligent than the viewer, but this one ... this one demonstrates some good sense. Lana instantly stepping up rather than spending half…

9/9 Your last name is Rappaccini

Can I offer Lois this much excuse for storming in on Morgan Edge like that? She needed to try to warn all those people, even though it was likely a futile effort (and with likely consequences). Maybe she could have not admitted to knowing about the Kryptonian connection, but I feel like it wouldn’t have changed much.

In that photo of Lois and Jonathan, is Jonathan trying to cosplay as Geordi LaForge? I like the abstract quality of it, but it may fly over people’s heads.
