[@johnowens2539]

Yep

[@civivva4501]

Who is the showrunner for this show? What is the writer's room like? I feel that there are female producers, executive producers and a lot of female writers. The female characters 1) talk to each other, 2) have their own agency, 3) make mistakes, feel them and voice them and work to do better and or apologise 4) there is no petty fake BITCHY rivalry, 6) the casting is age appropriate to their male partners, 7) female characters can be a variety, badass, evil, soft, intelligent, loyal , ruthless a mixture of several of these at a time. 8) they are heroic on all of the levels, from saving the world to being a good parent and partner as well as feeling they have a stake in the town and want to 'fight' for it.

[@carn9507]

I don't know about gender ratio in the production but I do love Lana and Lois work great together and feel almost like sisters since they bonded (I forget which episode it was but before the covid-related break). Could have easily wrote them with Lana being envious of Lois having the 'perfect' Clark that Lana used to have compared to her drunk moody Kyle but instead there's none of that. Lana has been fully loyal to her own family, still has her old friendship with Clark and now is great friends with the woman who actually did marry him. :P

[@whofactchecksthefactcheckers]

The cinematography of this show is something else, amazing. I can't agree with you more. This show is really original, story wise.

[@TheMarine316]

Bold statement... but the first 10 episodes of Superman & Lois might be the best Superman film I’ve ever seen.

[@carn9507]

And oh yeah that place at the end is probably some kind of Fortress for Edge but for some reason I also got reminded of Superman III with Gus' super computer located in the grand canyon. I know it's not but that's where my brain went to with several decades of absorbing all kinds of Superman-related info and media. :P

[@thetypingavocado574]

i do wonder how are they going to stretch out the plot for the 5 final episodes, because this could've closed it all together, with a few tweaks, like with john henry irons... but i like how they left some plot threads open, so they could be explored, like jordan's secret... like he should tell his girl soon!

[@flashbarry6838]

@@carn9507 Oh so that's how it is spelt... I couldn't hear it properly so it sounded a lot different

[@sarcasmxkate]

Did they explain if the infected people will have memories of being infected or not? Because Lana would definitely know Clark is Superman now. Lana not knowing now is okay with me because the way they've differentiated Clark from the hero is really affective. Tyler does such a good job of playing both and they both do feel very different. Plus, her knowing Clark from his truly awkward years makes it even more believable. At least for now. I'm excited to see where this goes and where Diggle plays into this. He is the one character I think truly fits the feel of this world. I know people really want Kara, but I don't know if she fits. At least not where they've gone this season. A mention would be nice, but I don't need to see her for a while. Diggle fits. He's a more serious character with a more grounded feel. Ugh, love this show.

[@vishall8246]

This show is way too good.

[@reactorleak7432]

Considering how they are altering past storylines and history….got a theory going on in my head…..in the comics, The Eradicator took human form and took over for Superman after he “died”. Same as John Henry…..what if the evil Superman everyone is expecting is actually the Eradicator? (Which was more vigilante Superman than hero at the beginning)

[@Omn1Media]

That's not a bad theory!

[@roderick8167]

Nah I agree I was like Lana do you not recognize that's Clark, I was so confused does Clark's glasses give him some type of cloaking thing like what, yeah you would think Lana would be able to recognize that Superman is her Ex Boyfriend especially up close 😂

[@TheLegendarySchmidt]

In the early comics, it was explained that Superman changes his facial structure to make him look different.

[@ProQuo360]

In cases of Clark Kent/Superman, I'll use Smallville as an example because they explained it in a way that was pretty much sensible. The person you'd least expect to be a superhero is usually right in front of you. They have no way of looking at you any differently besides how they act. Tom Welling did some of this with the Christopher Reeves portrayal he gave during the final season where he changed Clark's personality and demeanor. As he said in the episode: "Clark Kent is his secret identity, Superman is who he really is". I could use other examples, but that's pretty much how it goes.

[@roderick8167]

OK yeah that does make more sense

[@kylearking8918]

I feel like one of my only issues with this incredible show is that they haven’t even mentioned Kara yet. You would think with an invasion of Kryptonians and even having Jordan becoming accustomed to his new powers, we would get at least one mention of Kal’s cousin.

[@PM-rx3up]

not been needed so far.. maybe next season...

[@nightwhelmed]

Yeah, I get covid is restricting things but one mention or two doesn't cost anything, we literally don't need to see her. That's why I still think this is a different universe

[@kazinadbiralamadit6905]

Hey OMN1MEDIA from seeing this episode I can now confirm that this season is a complete standalone season focused on telling it's own story. This season has a few references to Crisis & it's concrete connection to the Arrowverse being Diggle appearance. Still think that it is a stupid idea that Edge is a kryptonian ,but what if Tal escaped killed the actual Morgan Edge & took over his entire company. Tell me what you think.

[@nishia_brownie988]

Just found your channel thanks for the insights. I love this show so much

[@Omn1Media]

[@MedalionDS9]

I asked pretty much the same question about Leslie... why is she not affected by the Eradicator explosion that is supposed to depower the X-K hosts... unless she is not a X-K host as we thought, but another real Kryptonian... or there is a range limitation to the effect blast because the Solar Flare itself is not all reaching... if Leslie was far enough away, she is unaffected. The latter is the more likely scenario... Leslie so far has had not a lot to do and I am waiting for her to show her true potential to be working alongside Tal-Rho. OH and you do bring up the idea once the Kryptonian consciousness takes over completely, it cannot be undone... she must have wanted the consciousness to take over or she was already too far gone by then.

[@carn9507]

Yeah I don't think she was in Smallville at all when the explosion happened.

[@deleila_charlie2068]

She is a host but as Lara said, if the entity was planted too long ago, it would be too late.

[@tristanludlow7188]

The Reason Leslie wasn't affect was because the kryptonian entity inside her has completely taken over.

[@carn9507]

Another great episode. Lana was great and I loved her as Lara too. Ok she still doesn't recognise Superman is her ex-boyfriend Clark but that sort of thing is just something we often just accept with Superman. :P Some things I don't get though: How did the possessed folk not die on hitting the ground? How did they make sure it was Lara who 'possessed' Lana and not another psycho? I might need to rewatch and see if I missed something there. And I still haven't seen a reason for the other Superman to turn into a murderer yet so hoping that still gets explained. As far as I can recall, Tal-Rho has never existed in the comics and if he is indeed an original character I'm ok with that. The Eradicator does come from the comics. Sorta. In that it was the name of one of the four 'Supermen' that emerged after Clark died fighting Doomsday (much like how Steel made his debut in the comics) but that's a whole long thing I ain't going into here. :P

[@DarthDarrik]

My headcanon -I see it as their powers fade not immediately switch off when freed. -Pretty sure they said it was like a computer so they can just upload whichever program they want. -The other Superman wouldn't have had as strong of a tie to Earth without Lois and the kids after Martha/Jonathan passed away so would be more willing to accept an offer to have a family again.

[@carn9507]

@@DarthDarrik Ok i can go with those first two. But nah, to Superman wouldn't just become a mass murderer without a reeeeally strong reason. If he'd been raised evil then fine, but they've suggested he was good on that world first. Just joining 'his people' wouldn't be enough for me cos once they started killing humans he'd be horrified at that and wouldn't want to be on the side of murderers, much less start taking human lives himself. I'm still waiting for some kind of definitive reveal about it, like perhaps he got possessed or mind-controlled himself.

[@MedalionDS9]

This is an aside... but I am getting depressed that it seems the longer the show goes on, the less videos I see per week reporting on this show because frankly... there's just too much competition for people to stay on top of this show, despite how good it is. I've seen people drop off from the show because they are reporting on other shows like Loki, or they got sick and missed an ep or 2 and decided to catch up when the season wraps... I know we already have a 2nd season in the can, but I fear the dropping watchers will impact this show someday

After this episode I really hope fans would ease off of sam lane. Example when I saw supergirl mad at Lena for creating synthetic kryptonite she came off as so selfish. She was so worried about herself but I always saw worse case scenario and the necessity of it. This episode shows the necessity of needing kryptonite and I think clark was at least willing to now see the need for it as well.

[@deadhead8323]

@@MedalionDS9 genius when you see me referencing supergirl did it ever occur to you that I'm speaking of kara? Next time read not skim it. I've never considered nor said lois selfish hell she's in the right. I'm speaking that kara is so worried about how kryptonite hurts her but doesn't see the necessity of having it for humans to use. Since she's very well aware that there are other kryptonians and candorians out there with sinister motives. Humanity needs it as a last line of defense for the huge possibility she is killed or hurt. They need kryptonite to protect themselves of her and clark in the inevitability they are turned. Case in point the alternate universe where superman is evil they found out about kryptonite but too late. This world knew of it early on and it gives them a huge advantage. Even in the current kara doesn't like kryptonite around and wants it gone. Clark now sees it differently.

Dean Cain is a good guy? He's got a habit of saying he is but then failing to prove it when the opportunity arises.

[@kazinadbiralamadit6905]

Again Diggle is coming in episode 12 & even the showrunner acknowledges that the show takes place on Earth prime. The main problem is Covid along with the fact that all those references would work had all the airing schedule for the other shows were not so jumpy around dates. The first season as far as I can say from reading articles apart from a few references to Crisis is a standalone season that is telling it's own story with it's only concrete connection to the Arrowverse being Diggle. The showrunner says that the Flash season 8 crossover & season 2 of S&L would have more connection to & with the rest of the Arrowverse as the restrictions would be more lowered by then.
