Beautiful with defining character development, establishing relationships, fixing problems. The ending was mind-blowing. Lex is stalking Clark and Lois. He is suspicious of wherever Superman goes, Lois Lane follows. It is revealed that Luthor had a relationship with Lois Lane in his world. Speaking of Lois Lane, I am liking her. She is the best! Incredible job. I will keep saying this. The characters feel so real. Now, Luthor? He is very intelligent, takes caution. It is a shame that the show is going on a long hiatus. I was enjoying it so much. The flashback scenes are well-done like we had flashbacks on Arrow in the Early Seasons. The Lois Lane plotline is worth engaging. She is stepping her game up with her reporter. I do like how they sort-of made Jordan the main focus. He is getting along with Sarah more. Shame that Jonathan interrupted and made a scene right there making the two pissed off. The scene where Superman was chasing Derek was super fun. Jonathan is getting his character fleshed out if you know what I mean. It kinda gets annoying when he lashes out at Clark and Lois. 10/10.

This episode was pretty bland. Not much happens. Jordan is happy again (thank god), and has his first date with Sarah. Jonathan finaly blows up after being dumped by his Metropolis girlfriend over the phone. All of Jonathans emotions in this episode were believable and waranted. Poor guy. He thought he had everything, now he's learning life lessons. Welcome to the party pal.

The only real thing of note was 'Nosey reporter lady' does what she does best. Be super nosey by using fake hollywood mobile phone tricks to crack the case on the super powered people popping up. Why was this reveal treated so blandly? This should have been massive.

Superman immediately turns up by crashing through the celling instead of using a door. The guy who seemingly just got super powers tells the super chick to 'protect the asset' and then flies off. Superman being an absolute moron, just flies after him instead of investigating and or destroying the device that could obviously make more supers. 'Batman Worlds Greatest Detective' he ain't.

Later Supes and Lois have a conversation about knowing it has something to do with the mine. Supes, being an investigative reporter with super powers doesn't think to go check out the mine? Absolutely moronic. Man this show is such a slow burn.

Why was Sarah acting so nasty to Jonathan? Because her father had a few drinks after a colleague almost died? There needed to be a flashback or two showing her fathers insinuated drinking problem, and how it affected her and her family. Without it, it just seemed like she didn't like anyone having fun. How DARE anyone have fun.

Luthor is back this episode, which is good, because it's about the only interesting plot line in this show. I kept hearing Seal's 'Kiss from a rose' whenever he was on screen. The twist at the end with him being with lois in the other dimension is the love triangle no one wants, or asked for. Great, they just ruined his character arc. Oh but think of the depth, I hear you whine... Okay. Fine. There's depth, but it's just feeeeeeeeeeeelings.... I shouldn't be surprised. It's the CW's specialty.

Is it just me or does Lana have only one outfit in this show? Wardrobe department. Get on that.

Ultimately, this show is for those who want a 'Clark and Lois and family show'. There just isn't enough Supes to keep fans interested. It's Blandsville, Tennessee. DC just continues to ruin it's own product. If it's not a Batman show about everyone else other than Batman, it's this tripe.

I'm willing to bet the only people that really think this is a 9 or 10/10 show are the people posting ridiculously positive reviews on here. I hope all 10 of you enjoy it. I'm done.

Superman and Lois has me impressed so far. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying it. It's not a perfect show by any means, but it's a show about a family, which is the exact show we need right now with the world still in quarantine.

Starting off with the negatives, the twins teen angst has a shelf life to it. At the very least, the angst or anger or whatever is understandable on their ends FOR NOW. I can see this turning into an Iris West-Allen situation where we're hearing "we are Superman" every other episode. For now, it's not that bad though. As long as the outbursts from these two remain realistic reactions to the events happening in their lives, I will remain cautiously optimistic that this will still be bearable. Their lives are messy and complicated, and that's how high school is supposed to be! Still, something to keep in mind about maybe tuning this down in the coming weeks.

As for the villain plan this week, we're learning a bit more about Edge's big scheme, but it's still ambiguous as it should be. Obviously, he's giving humans kryptonian abilities, but why? For what purpose? Obviously it's nothing good, but it's unknown for now, which I like. Not much more on the Edge front except that this week. I have a feeling next week will be bigger.

We got more Lex this week, and I'm excited! I've been on board with this new Lex since WEEK ONE! We're getting little snippets of his history every time we see him, and it totally works. Where in week two we learned that he served in the military with Samuel Lane, this week we learned that he was with Lois. Not sure why Sam would allow that since he barely allows it with frickin Superman, but this show hasn't had many noticeable missteps yet, so I'm willing to forgive it. I can see this new Lex going the way of Injustice Superman maybe, but that might just be me fanboying. I did like him trying to get closer to Lois in this episode too. She's apprehensive of him, obviously, but I have a feeling this dynamic can be explored further, and will probably develop into something down the road. Maybe we'll get a scene at the end of next week where she asks his name and he says...

Hang on, what do we call this new Lex? Obviously, he can't go by Lex since, you know, Jon Cryer's Lex still exists in this universe. Maybe he goes by Alex? Alexander? Maybe Xander? He looks like a "Xander" to me. Could be fun to toy around with his name a bit. Have some fun with it, writers! Go crazy! Just not too crazy, please? I trust ya, but you gotta make it reasonable.

Tyler Hoechlin is still amazing as Clark and Superman. He's a total nerd, and I love it! Seriously, you have no idea how cool it is for SUPERMAN to have nerd face! Elizabeth Tulloch is also proving to be a capable Lois Lane. I wasn't originally sold since she appears to look a bit older than Tyler Hoechlin, but she's growing on me pretty fast. The family drama and dynamic is well handled thus far, and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

I also liked all the stuff with Young Clark. Dylan Kingwell absolutely looks like a young Tyler Hoechlin, so the casting department earned their paychecks this week. Seeing Young Clark dealing with the dilemma of growing up and moving out of Smallville was heartbreaking, and the flashbacks were spliced into the episode really well. I got Arrow season one vibes it was done so well. I'm not saying we should make this the norm, but I'm saying that it worked this week.

Episode overall felt a bit filler-y, but it was bearable since all the "filler" was character work and plot stuff. So I guess there isn't actually any filler. I don't know why I said that. This one was great! Solid 9/10! Can't wait for next week!

Oh, the show's going on hiatus? For how long? TWO MONTHS?? Okay, what's it being replaced with? SUPERGIRL?? BECAUSE GOD FORBID WE HAVE TWO KRYPTONIAN LEAD SHOWS ON AT THE SAME TIME, HUH CW??
