Episode Notes

EPISODE 13: What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger - “It's a little 1991 Wesley Snipes.”

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

Thoughts on My Adventures with Superman?

Nervous about a rumor that next season they’re taking away Superman’s powers cuz they have no budget for high level special effects. 

My experience meeting Bitsie Tulloch and Tyler Hoechlin

S03E12 -

Brent Fletcher and Todd Helbing

The Apple TV Recap is: 

All of Smallville comes together to view the meteor shower, Lex Luthor makes his move.

• “What will Lex Luthor do next?”
• Haha Jordan doesn’t have plans for the summer. 
• Kyle and Chrissy
  • Diving right into the pregnancy right away. Never heard of protection in 2023? Anyway, I’m happy for them if they’re happy. Especially cuz we’ll pretty much never see them next season.
  • Love how happy Lois and Clark are for Chrissy. Very sweet.
  • Also very sweet that we got a little tv season finale, romantic gesture, proposal. 
• John Henry and Nat and Lana
  • I like how Lana was straight up and direct with John Henry about a date. Btw, I didn’t realize this but in a recent backup story in Action Comics it was said that John Henry and Lana are engaged! Cool to see something carry over from the New 52 that was good.
  • John Henry and Nat could open STEELWORKS! As if that’s something they’ve been talking about all season, which they haven’t but we know about it. 
  • I like how Lana and John Henry were having a pretty heavy conversation to start things off. That seems real for two adults who have past relationships and children etc. 
  • “Guess I’m gonna have to make you wish you weren’t.” This is the Emmanuelle Chriqui I remember ;-) 
• Lois and Clark
  • I love that Lois is back. That was a really rough season but powerful. And Clark is just so great. I’m glad there’s at least another season left cuz I’m not ready to say goodbye yet. Love the family vaca in Italy. “It’s been a tough year,” no shit Clark.
  • I like that the Lane Kents get together for dinner at the diner. It’s cute. 
  • “Oh Dad: One, Jordan: Zero
  • Ugh Jordan is soooooooo rude to Sarah. I hate that. Little prick. Glad Clark fixed that. 
• Lex Luthor and his plan
  • Straight up killing the judge. This is some scary Byrne/Ordway/Stern Luthor shit. 
  • I knew something was up with Sam’s very sexually aggressive hookup. 
  • Well glad Bizarro didn’t eat Otis. 
  • Love love love that they did the actual origin of Doomsday from Hunter/Prey but made it in Metropolis with Luthor. It’s sort of like what Luthor always wanted in the comics: To be the one who made Doomsday. And what a great way to combine Luthor/Bizarro/Doomsday all into one thing. Really creative. Taking things that have been done and finding new ways to do them. 
    • The Way Luthor talks to Bizarro reminds me of how he talked to Doomsday’s dead body in Funeral for a Friend. 
  • Luthor’s a fucking psychopath  
  • Hearing Luthor insult Superman “lap dog in a cape” is just so classic. Cudlitz kinda nailed it in a short period of time. 
  • What did you think of Doomsday’s final form? What did you think of the final battle? I thought kinda better than a lot of final CGI battles in MCU movies. Like as recently as secret invasion.
  • The look Superman gave Lois right before he took off, was it sort of like, “this is the big one. This might be the last time I see you.” And was that a look he’s given before?
  • The underwater ice thing was so cool. Throw this fucker into the sun Clark!
  • Very interesting and stylized way to end it with Soundgarden. It’s a banger that starts off very soft. 
  • It was cool seeing Superman meet his physical match. Like I could see these guys taking each other down right in front of the Daily Planet.
  • On the moon, very reminiscent of Superman IV. 
  • Incredible cliff hanger
