Both my grandads died before I was born, so I found the "hologramps" scene touching and pretty cool (and very informative to the plot). Jordan continues to yell or mope. Only his one-on-one scenes with his brother have hope and optimism. His parents and brother left their lives behind in Metropolis for him. Some gratitude would be nice. Take a shot every time Lois says "living wage". Giants like Walmart and Amazon may be able to afford a "living wage" known as $15/hour these days, but the small florist shop down the street from me cannot. $15 per hour is not one size fits all. Profits, supply and demand determine wages. Speaking of Amazon, Lois is battling her very own Jeff Bezos. His name is Morgan Edge and like Bezos, he's a wealthy CEO who also owns a newspaper, The Daily Planet, to control the narrative and hide the fact that he's a vulture capitalist who decimates small towns like Smallville. Lois has a career-defining moment when she confronts him. Instead of a forced cringeworthy feminist power trip scene, the scene was her standing up for unbiased reporting and journalistic integrity while standing by her article. The best parts of the episode were the Superman action and fight sequences, the sound, score and special effects were all perfect. Tyler Hoechlin continues to strike the perfect balance between Clark Kent and Superman and we get some insight into his history and (dark multiverse??) connection to the villain. CW, thank you for another well-written, character-driven episode. Please keep identity politics and hardcore agenda-pushing writing out. It's nice to escape for an hour and enjoy a show on CW again.
