Review of Of Sound Mind

Ok, I gave this a 9 because it has some amazing acting and writing about the challenge that a cancer diagnose means for the patient and his family. I think it was really well done and realistic, even when some characters here are aliens. I think the story of the Cushings was very well written too but I have a few problems with the internal logic of the story. And also, on a personal level, I do not care for the Cushings. Sarah is an entitled, annoying girl And the only reason I managed to find an ounce on interest in Cushing is that I like Crissy. But let's go to the minor points I commented. I do not like that her parents use Sarah as a baby sitter. I mean, for short periods it is ok, but Lana left for work and left the two children alone. Then next day her ex does the same thing for a shorter period of time and she gets mad. Sarah is a child herself, she needs to do her homework and have a life, yes, flirting included. Lana is the mayor, I would imagine she can afford a baby sitter. Sarah apologized and feel guilty and that is fair, because she really should have taken a better care of her sister but she should not have been in the position of being in that position to begin with.

Another problem with the writing is that even when it was clear that Superman was overprotecting Jordan, in the end he was right. Jordan was hit with kryptonite and could have died. None of them knew how that would affect him. So the final scene between Lois and Clark was a little weird, because they perfectly discuss Superman fears but never admit that Jordan could have died when trying to save him.

Last thing, even with the emotional parts were good, I rather spend time with Natalie and Steel than with the Cushings,,
