Spoilers "Superman & Lois" Season 2

For the most part they just flipped the footage, but there is some reversed signwork as well. They had to because they reversed the capitalization as well. Lois Lane becomes Enal Siol, for example.

 

It's got to be the cheapest option, no way they would go with the more expensive one.

 

And Lana becomes NSFW.

 

Wait! You cannot even hint at the cube-shaped earth being a good thing in-universe or as a viewer...someone might trip into the thread to tell you about the scientifically implausibility of it all....on a series about an alien who looks like a human and flies...

 

The Bizarro stuff was cool, but I wish they had found a better main plot to tie it to than that weird cult storyline. Still can't tell if the entire thing was a swipe at Allison Mack or not. Even Ally Allston's name feels intentional with that in mind.

 

Ally Allston is from the comics.

It should have been an icosahedron.

 

I was impressed with the cube shaped Earth. It was one of the best things of the season because, to me, it showed the writers were embracing to comic book world of Superman. This season wasn't great compared to the first season and all the stuff with Lana and her family seemed tacked on. The cult stuff was mediocre. But the series does one thing very well and that is to get Superman, Clark, and Lois very, very right.

 

Now the flat-earthers have a destination.... Bizarro Universe.

 

No wonder Bizarro Lana is so mad...

 

So I've been doing a Smallville rewatch. Tonight's episode was the ninth-season episode, "Pandora," in which Lois finds herself on a devastated future Earth under a red Sun. Check out this shot:



I am virtually certain this memorable shot from the S&L season finale must have been a direct and deliberate homage:



Pretty cool, right?

 

Maybe they can say we're in a THIRD universe where Jonathan looks different

He was scheduled to show up in Vancouver but did not. He stated that he has exited the show due to personal reasons.

 

Wow, the bad news just keeps coming.

 

Well darn, I was coming here to post that.

 

That sucks, and sucks hard, for the show, but Elsass's mental health is the more important thing. He had posted something a few months back about having problems and seeking treatment, so here's hoping this helps.

He was great on the show, though, and he'll definitely be missed.

 

Didn’t know his real name was Jordan. That was a bit confusing.
That disappointing to hear. I hope he gets the help he needs.

 

Referential joke time....

Now they can bring in Justin Whalen as a recast!

 

I finished S&L season 2. Enjoyed it, all the bad parenting, all the cheesy family values, all the insane bollocks about merging universes (which if it makes everyone as powerful as whats-her-name was is maybe not a bad thing?), cube planets, talking in space because fuck the eternal vacuum a la the old Superman movies. This show should be called Smallville: The Next Generation. It's cheese and it's terrible but I love it.

 

It's strange, but I was unable to finish Season 2. It's not that I believe it was bad. I simply lost interest, just as I had lost interest in "The Flash" and "Batwoman".

 

Not only that, but his full name contains the name of his fictional grandfather. Jordan Elsass.

Recasting is a big bummer. Hopefully Elsass deals with whatever he has going on.
