He can always go pick up a bag of Kingsford Charcoal if he needs a few extra bucks.
Maybe he can become a firefighter, Kyle looks to be driving a pretty nice truck.

Maybe he can become a firefighter, Kyle looks to be driving a pretty nice truck.
Why? He and Lois presumably have a lot of savings from the Planet, and he's content to be a stay-at-home dad and volunteer coach, which leaves him more time for Superman stuff than a 9-to-5 job would. It makes sense.
Yeah... even without powers, he's still half-Kryptonian. I don't think X-kryptonite affects Kryptonians like green K does, but it's still probably not healthy.
With modern technology and various powerful interests deeply involved in Smallville, it's probably a bit risky to use super powers to run a farm. Also, they made such a big deal about Clark taking time away from superheroing to work on family life, so I can't see them wasting Clark's time on farming or even local investigative journalism.
OK, that's fair.
Does X-Krytonite come from the comics or they make it up for the show? I've never seen or heard of it before it showed up on Superman & Lois.

Although the S&L version seems to be inspired by Smallville's "meteor rock" kryptonite.

He has a job. He's a farmer. He runs the Kent Farm. And it seems to produce corn, as we saw last season.
Superman and Lois
Season 2 - Episode 4 - "The Inverse Method"
Clark/SM: Irons saves Clark from Bizarro with the hammer (at last), with Bizarro appearing to know or at least sense something about its properties, prompting him to fly away. Irons wars Clark against facing the creature alone, suggesting he seek Anderson's help, which Clark is none too thrilled to even consider.
Lois vs. Ally's cult / Lucy: "..a journey toward completion.." Language right out of the BS, anti-religious / psychobabble playbook conning innumerable saps since the 1970s. This B-plot of Lois trying to go up against someone who has threatened her read like season finale plotting in effect.
Lucy agrees to speak to Lois, but the conversation is--as expected--one-sided; Lucy blames Lois for driving their mother away, twisting their history to fit her narrative, and nearly destroying her relationship with Ally, who has successfully instilled the idea of unbroken trust i her followers--trust that can only be restored through self-help...and Ally's alleged vision.
Lucy also recorded her conversation with Lois, streaming it to the members of Ally's group--and Chrissy, who has been massaged into doubting Lois. Later, Chrissy requests a meeting with Ally to learn the truth about Lois (SEE NOTES)
Sam Lane / Lt. Anderson / "Supermen of America"/ Irons & Natalie: SM approaches Anderson, giving him a way to track Bizarro, but adds his teenage soldiers are not ready to face the creature. He requests Anderson notify him when the tracker get a hit, but Anderson being Anderson seeks to contain the threat on his own terms. That opportunity comes when Bizarro is located in Bolivia, where the teens attempt to capture the creature. That does not go too well, with two being killed, leaving Tag Harris alone and injured. As you'd expect, SM shows up to save Tag from an early series exit. Meanwhile, Irons dons the suit--despite it being nowhere near ready--and enters the fight, only to be batted away like an insect.
Taken to a military hospital (which Sam says is the best available), Rhodey--I mean Irons is unconscious and on life support. Natalie blames SM for not protecting her father (SEE NOTES).
I imagined Natalie would get her own suit, or use her fathers--against his wishes--and end up fighting something she's ill-prepared to face--
Jonathan / Candace: After what one would imagine some cold feet about using the Green Ligh--er-- "Yellow Mist" drug, Jonathan tires it out on the football field, where he's amazed by the enhancement high he receives.
Jordan/Sarah: Being helpful to a friend...and incredibly reckless, Jordan tries to foil a grocery store robbery by using freeze breath on the floor, but learns the store uses security cameras. Thanks to Sam using D.O.D. tech to scramble the footage, Sam warns his grandson that he's not ready to use his powers to fight crime...yet. With all that's happened to the family (including threats from Edge and Bizarro) Jordan asks Sam to train hm so he'll be ready to help his father one day....(SEE NOTES)
Lana/Kyle/Sarah: The secrets from Lana's past, including Kyle's alcoholism and Sarah's attempted suicide--are used by Dean in the mayoral race. To bury any exploitable secrets, Kyle heads to his old drinking hole, to speak to a woman he's maintained sexual relations with for some time (SEE NOTES).
NOTES:
Irons' suffering severe injury in the suit was so copy+pasted from Rhodey's fate in Captain America: Civil War. Since he was taken to a top-shelf military hospital, I suspect Anderson might pull a "Oliver Spencer" (The Six Million Dollar Man pilot movie's unscrupulous version of Oscar Goldman) and order the X-Kryptonite treatment on Irons not only to save his life, but to use him as the new leader of the "Supermen"--and a likely weapon against SM (through some blame-shifting).
I can also see Natalie becoming desperate to build her own suit, or use her fathers--against his wishes--and end up fighting something she's ill-prepared to face--perhaps her father.
Well, I predicted Jordan would try to take up the "family business," and now that's happening, but you can just see Lois' anger with this coming a mile away. Hopefully, Sam will teach Jordan to keep his mouth shut about the Kents' most guarded secrets.
Chrissy is either the most weak-minded woman on two feet, or she will prove herself to be the only other reporter Lois needs to partner with by breaking Ally's group.
A part of the script that was said to be explored, but was not centered on Sarah turning 15 years old, and as observed by some Latinos, she was supposed to celebrate her quinceañera (i.e. considered moving from childhood to womanhood).
Speaking of Sarah's side of the street, the last thing I want to see is her parents' relationship go south again in the event Kyle's other woman (or Dean) spills the beans. That's really moving in the horrid Aaron Spelling direction.
Boliva...absolutely amateurish CG landscapes, skies, bad green screen--the works.
The series returns on 2/22, where Jonathan--under the influence of Yellow Mist--punches Jordan to the ground, shocking the Superboy-in-training. That, and there's a double funeral, and considering both caskets were draped in American flags, it was a service for Tag's dead companions.
GRADE: B.

Yeah but I don’t think he’s doing it as a job. In the latest episode he mentioned how run down the farm was and his desire to get it up and running again.
I've heard it suggested that the "other self" Allston is supposedly helping Lucy try to reach is her pre-Crisis incarnation. It's kind of an interesting thought, though I feel like this show has actively avoided getting into the narrative weeds of all that stuff. It would explain why they brought back the same actress, however, and why they made her character so broken compared to the Supergirl version.
I dunno from the dialogue it sounds like was... he was just expressing that it'd be nice to get it back to what it once was. Although, it's just something the show doesn't really focus on. But sounds like he's working on it.
I think you’re being a bit overly critical with the CGI. It’s not perfect but I think it’s one of the better of the CW shows.
The IRS will attack his farm if he does all the work himself, but he if tries to work at normal speed, he will fail, because he is half assing it.
Although if they are not farming, that is a lot of land being left fallow.
Jon's gold chain is the worst written character.
Seriously, why is he from the Jersey Shore?
If you want to deprogram a fucked up child, that's where you start.
As a person with a personal vested interest in cults, this is a typical unrealistic Hollywood depiction of a cult. There is little chance the actual leader of a cult would choose to meet with a person seen as one of the best reporters. Instead they’d send intimidators or just ghost her. Plus, really Chrissy? That hidden camera video swayed you? She is definitely the dumbest character on the show. I do like the pre-crisis identity theory though and I hope that is the route they’re taking with this storyline because it could salvage it.
I did like everything else though. The cult stuff was just unbelievably dumb.
I did like everything else though. The cult stuff was just unbelievably dumb.
It's possible, but with the date given for the flashback, and the reference to Lucy losing her job and fiancée, I thought they were just suggesting the reason we never saw Lucy again after season one of Supergirl was that she hit bottom off-screen.
Though now I am curious if there's something more to Lucy's near-death experience the show is holding close to its vest, judging by how all the characters are acting like it's some kind of incredible vindication for Ally. I mean, she'd have to have seen something pretty wild for everyone to agree that it's more important than "found by a family member strung out and clinically dead in a tub." Including, apparently, Lois, since the stinger of the episode was her vow to suppress the "truth" of what happened to Lucy. "Nearly jumping into a parallel universe" would qualify.
I noticed Superman called Anderson "General" this time, so "Lieutenant" was apparently a mistaken abbreviation for "Lieutenant General" in the earlier episode.
Hopefully Bizarro's necklace was the cause of the mental cross-over between the two of them, I feel like that element has done everything it's going to do, at least until they're ready to start explaining what Bizarro is and where he came from.
