Love this show but this episode was a bit problematic for me. They're too focused on killing superman but they don't even mention killing Edge. ???

Seeing JHI in suit again was great and the fact that the writers didn't go down the evil Superman path is something different and keeps him as a beacon of hope we all know him to be. The acting was great and so was the character development. Can't wait to see what's next!

Honestly let's just get it out of the way, Diggle should have been in more scenes they didn't even really focus on his headaches and "Worlds Await" that we heard in The Flash but hopefully in Supergirl, Diggle just found out the multiverse still exists because of John Henry Irons and he doesn't call Barry or Kara anyone. I need more of an explication on how John Henry Irons got to this earth because we thought it was due to crisis but it was a portal. Love his new "Steel" suit, still don't get how it fits him when it was ment for Jon Cryer, but it's ok. Zod possessed Superman that was awesome. Steel and Zods fight was great and at the end Clark is free and Morgan activates a solar flair, the Cushing plot line this episode was welcomed you get where the people are coming from but we know what happened. Overall good episode.

It is hard to explain to people how good this show is, it does not pull any punches when it comes to the emotional and human side of Clark Kent.

When Morgan Edge wants to erase Kal-El's identity and replace it with one of the worst Kryptonians who has ever lived, the only think that can save Earth's Greatest Hero is to remember why he is fighting for in the first place.

This show makes me believe a man can fly.

While Flash continues being the kiddie hour, this show shows why we fell in love with Flash and Arrow to begin with. Superb acting throughout and the message of family resonates constantly. The part where Supes vanquishes Zod and becomes himself again is what watching TV is all about. Outstanding scene. Kudos to the show for having a great villain which the Flash seems to have forgotten. Epic episode!!!

So much possibility available with this show, yet those in charge chose to continue the themes that dominate literally every DC show no matter what channel its broadcast on or which studio produces it, dreary, drab & deathly boring, this is a theme that's been prevalent since Snyders reign, so many exciting & interesting storylines, plots & villains available from decades of DC comics & yet they choose the overdone, continuously repeated evil Kryptonian rubbish interspersed with all the regular tropes from the less than realistic & often cartoonish soap dramas, teen angst, infidelity & overly dramatic pointless & silly squabbling.

Superman & Lois does nothing to stand out from the crowd, it blends in seamlessly with the all the other dreadful CW DC shows with stories, plots & dialogue by staff writers with little or no experience with this genre.

DC characters & easily recognised costumes paraded in a cheap soap opera dramady.

In this particular episode Edge is determined to turn Superman evil so Lois asks John Henry Irons to help save him but decides instead to devise a means to kill him & Sam agrees to help, Absolute nonsense, if they're willing to so easily decide to kill Superman then why not instead devise a way to kill Edge before he turns Superman evil, this is bad writing, another constant with the CW DC shows & DC live action projects in general, another constant failing of these projects is the aadition of light hearted & comical moments as shown in this episode with Lana's family, 3 scenes where the family is reminded by other townspeople of how hated they are & the family is virtually at breaking point, we then get a scene thrown in that has nothing to do with the storyline, of the family having a lighthearted water fight, more nonsense.

I had high hopes for this show, that it would break the mold of the typical episodic TV garbage, unfortunately the producers had other ideas & very little imagination.

This is Superman, the flagship of the DC catalogue, the main character of his own show reduced to a bit part punchbag, disrespected by his own family & resigned to the naughty step & ignored by all in favour of Lois being the real hero so the show can hold its head high for showing a strong woman, utter woke nonsense.

Gone is any attempt to show the uniqueness of this hero, he's mearly an afterthought amongst the far too many characters that overshadow him.

If this show were a comic it would be in the 10 ¢ent bargain bin.

Superman has been having some trouble with the processing machine; Edge tries to force him to submit it, then gives up. Lois calls Luthor that "It's happening." General Lane shows up at the Kent Farm on the whereabouts of Superman. Lois tells her that Edge has his own Fortress of Solitude. Luthor shows up to discuss with General Lane and Lois. Lois speculates on a rescue mission. Luthor states that there is only one hope - to take him down. Lois refuses with him. An argument happens between the three. General Lane tells Luthor that he has been developing super-weapons for his Project-7734 Project. The two discuss the super-weapons they created. Luthor tells an unlovely story on how he tried to use the super-weapon on his Superman. He somehow went through a wormhole through this Earth leading where he is. "It's like 1984 here." LOL. Lois talks to Sara's parents in private, asking them if they remember anything when they were controlled by the consciousness of the ancient Kryptonians. No clear answer, but negative feelings. Superman runs out of Edge's base and senses Jordan. Lois meets with Diggle, always great to have him back as always. The two argue with General Lane and Luthor on killing Superman. Jordan and his brother come to the base to tell Lois. The Sara Family finds a sign on their house saying: "Get out of Smallville" Lois talks to Luthor about how this world is different than his Superman destroying humanity, etc. Great emotional scene. It shows how strong Lois & Clark is. Diggle discusses with General Lane. The Sara Family cleans the sign. Superman is still fighting back. The Military finally finds the whereabouts of Superman & Edge. Jonathan talks to Edge about guilt. After this, Luthor is up against Superman. Found Two, motherfu- We get an epic fight. I am not going to lie though. But. Luthor's combat gear looks totally badass! The Military has lost audio and video.

Luthor confronts Superman on what might happen if he submits, he finally fights against it. Audio and video are back. Edge informs his father that his half-brother is gone. His father tells him that he must do what he has to do which was the main purpose why he was brought to Earth. Luthor uses his red rocket thing on Edge. Superman reconnects on Kent Farm reuniting with Lois and his two sons telling them that they did well. Luthor joins in telling that Edge is imprisoned. The only thing is; they have to find Edge's female assistant.

Thoughts?

Yet, the Brother dynamic never gets old. The tensions are getting hit, and I like it. I am loving the serious tone. Interesting settings throughout characters showing the effects of this impact which is well-explored. Awesome performances here. This episode couldn't get better without Diggle even though he had a little screentime. I do believe we will get more screentime of him in the upcoming episodes that have to come for us. I am glad we are getting more content of him after the final Arrow season which is a fact that I am really proud of.

It is great to see Jothahan interacting with Luthor. You can see he understands his guilt on losing his loved ones which is truly beautiful. At least we got some action in the last 20 minutes. I would have given it a 9/10, although a 9/10 is not bad. Lol. I like how forgiveness is the key here.

10/10.

A Flash episode would have had Lois and Clark convincing Morgan Edge of the importance of family and ended with him joining the Kents for a family dinner. And Lana's family would be welcomed back to the town with open arms.

I enjoyed this episode and I enjoyed that irons had a change of heart to see Clark as a hero and I loved how Clark still fought to not turn shows that he doesn't want to become evil. But the ending felt like it could have been a good season finale and the episode after could have been a start to season two.

Superman is about to become evil and John Irons wants to do it like he has been so of course Lois calls him. He says he needs to kill Superman and Lois doesn't want that. So why did she call him when she already has her dad and apparently Argus to help stop Morgan Edge and Superman? Why doesn't John know Clark is Superman until Lois tells him? He's the same basic person, John. So now Irons gets that Superman isn't evil. Something he should have realized when our Superman wasn't trying to kill him from the beginning of this show. Why is John Diggle only there to tell John Irons not to kill a hero who's saved our world many times? John Diggle leaves after giving the military some technology to fight Superman. Lois dad assumes he will be evil and wants to kill him. Superman is fighting mind control the whole time and tells (Jordan, Morgan Edge is in the badlands. As if that helps narrow down where they are in a massive desert but of course Sam Lane has some convent technology to find him. Irons goes to fight superman wearing clunky armor suit that looks like a small version of Ironman first armor. He somehow has a chance fighting Superman who's being evil now but Superman doesn't just use heat vision to murder him. Irons has a communication device and Lois tells him not to kill Superman but her dad wants him to. John Irons decides to talk Superman down from MIND Control And because Superman has memories of his family he is no longer mind controlled. Unbelievable. This show does every cliche from other arrow verse shows and no one has a problem with this show doing that.
