HENRY'S NOTES:
Should we approach this on its own or AS a penultimate series episode or both?
- Kinda sad that Otis died off screen, like for the actor and character
- I like that there are consequences to Clark thinking he went over the line “stooping to Luthor’s level”
- “I do not need your help with this” is the wrong thing to say to your kid at any age.
- It’s better that the consequences for Lois is that she can’t get advertisers, not her safety.
- “Maybe it’s time we got into his head
- Tyler Hoechlin merch! Finally! Can I get some of that?
- I love when there’s Superman merch on tv
- “Jordan’s loaded curly fries.” “On the kids menu?”
- Jordan’s curly fries are amazing and I want them
- Love that Jonathan wants to step up.
- Gretchen Kelly is already dead off screen.
- Superman in Luthor’s office. Inject it into my veins
- Superman is carrying himself differently than he was as Clark
- He’s getting into Luthor’s head and I love it
- “Enjoy your freedom Lex, it’s running out. Nice tie
- There does seem to be some history between Superman and Luthor
- I appreciate that Lois is pissed but in real life in 2024, she could just start her own podcast or site, or network and would get tons of advertisers.
- Clark: “You and me are unstoppable”
- Lois Lane has a masterclass, chapter 7, “When you hit a wall, trust your gut and retrace your steps and go back to the beginning”
- “You’re such a dork.” “yeah that’s why you love me”
- Loooooved the “hey boys we gotta talk” super hearing moment
- It’s great how everyone is respectful of Clark and then Clark “gives the people what they want.” - that’s some real Superman shit there.
- Amanda calling Luthor “babe” is so cringe. You know he hates that.
- He pronounced it, “Luthor CORE” - I knew it!
- Luthor is doing a manipulative power move
- Oh yes, I love that they’re using the Fortress VR video game system
- Is this supposed to played for comedy?
- MANHEIM! YES!
- This is a very well acted scene
- Manheim has pull in the joint, this meeting has been VERY long
- Very good stuff with Cheryl’s back story with Luthor
- Manheim with the ultimate babyface turn, “I’m glad Superman’s back”
- I’m sorry the computer room is so cliche
- Interesting hearing about the power lever of Superman. ANd his sons’ power level. Love that he got a good scene with Lara, they haven’t had a moment like this since she debuted
- I need to know more about Milton Fine. Like where is he from? Why does he hate Superman?
- “You need to figure out what Jordan and jonathan can’t do and what they can”
- Jon: “Do you like, need a hug?”
- Oh hell yes, Superboys vs Superman.
- So Lex’s endgame is revenge on Smallville?
- This is an amazing scene with Lex and Amanda
- Lex put on the suit but it’s not green and purple
- SHIRT RIP!
- So Doomsday has fire breath?
- Ohhhh Jordan’s power is his empathy. Looooove.
- This is the best Jordan has been all season.
- His strength isn’t being sad and mopey, it’s quirky and sweet.
- Oh hell yes, Jonathan catching a car like his dad, with his own theme music?
- Lex’s inside computer is Purple and Green
- INCREDIBLE CLIFFHANGER!
