Spoilers "Superman & Lois" Season 2

I'm just watching S2E10 and this is amazing. It's so overly cheesy and utterly ridiculous with the cube Earth and everything being opposite as well as reversed, and they're playing it 100% straight.

Trying to figure out if they spent a fortune on backwards signs and whatnot or just mirrored the film.

And I guess Bizarro Superman's fucked up face is the Kryptonian equivalent of meth mouth?
It's got to be the cheapest option, no way they would go with the more expensive one.

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.

It should have been an icosahedron. :shifty:
 
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.
 
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? :techman:

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.
 
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".
