Re: Smallville#9x11 & 12 "Society" & "Legends" - Discuss/Grade <SPOILE
I'm not as familiar with the DC Universe as the Marvel Universe. Want to fill me in on The Suicide Squad? I guess this is where Lex plucked Tess from. Maybe another retcon to the Tess character.
Thought the first hour was pretty slow and not quite what I hoped for but I enjoyed it. There was some good stuff here, Dr. Fate especially. Liked the old and new generation interacting, the return of Martian Manhunter, and the last 15 minutes. The final battle seemed to be drawn like a comic book. The JSL stuff was pretty awesome and I loved the JSA interaction.
Could not stand Lois and her giant ego. Once again, we are told how great she is without ever seeing it.

I gave the first hour an 'Above Average', 'Excellent' to the second hour and 'Excellent' all the way around for the complete movie. Good stuff and I'm looking forward to watching it again over the weekend.
Good to be back for regular commentary this week. See you guys next Friday.

Does this mean Apokolips is coming or was she just taking about Zod?

I like how Clark was told the chains keeping him grounded (i.e. no flying) can be lifted when he is emotionally ready. I really really hope we see him fly, on his own accord, before this series is over.

I was wondering that too. If they do mean Apokolips, I hope they hold off till the end of the series and do it up big

It would seem Lex is alive. I read someone speculating that maybe he was the one who killed Jor-El. I doubt that writers are capable of a twist like that but it would be pretty cool.

"Someone's killing costumed heroes..."
Yeah, it was a good two-parter, yet still suffered from some SMALLVILLE failings. Why does Mercer have to be seemingly shoehorned into the plot?
It's funny. Looking back on Smallville's fearly seasons with it's freak of the week in the small town, and now this big city actual superhero stuff. YET THAT FUDGER CLARK STILL AIN'T SUPERMAN!! WHAT THE HELL?
I mean, more damn talk about Clark's destiny. Shit's past a running joke now. Oh, but we have Dr. Fate's reassurance!
Also we get the doom and gloom about Chloe's future, which is also getting old.
Anyway...
"Clark, what's the name of your team?"
"Junior Lifeguard Association."

Some mentioned that Amanda Waller wa ssuppsoed to be fat, and Pam Grier's neck looked unusually thick...

Actually, I thought it was Lois who was shoehorned into this story. Along with the pimping of Clark's destiny and Lois and Clark.

I really liked how this fit into smallville, yet had its own feel to it.

I almost forgot Lois & Tess were on the show until I saw them in the second half.
Is it safe for all the Green Lantern stuff to be on display?

I would say no...unless their just prop versions of the "real" ring and lantern-- which in theory Alan would still have in his possession.
