Slow to post but I loved this episode. Still full of plot holes and imperfections but I'm so much more forgiving of those things when it's delivering so well in other areas.
Positives:
- The whole sequence of how Jon gets his powers was PERFECT. I LOVE that what it took for him to get them was him actually letting all that pent up emotion out, actually letting himself lose control. That just fits so beautifully. P.s. Michael did a great job.
- I loved the scene with him smelling the fruit. Such a cool detail to add in.
- I also loved him talking about just saving one family from losing their dad.
- I think the way Jordan put aside his feelings about not being the favorite to be there for his mom in the end was really good. Him hugging her at the funeral rather than Jon felt really important.
- Every single scene with Sam was quality. Loved the flashbacks. Just love guis Sam, and Dylan was really on top form.
- Lovely to see Martha briefly
- I liked that Lois seemed to look at Doomzarro with empathy. Maybe that was just my take, but it meant something to me that she might see Clarks eyes in his. (maybe theres hope for him yet).
- The scene with Lex & Jordan was great. Still not this Lexs biggest fan, but they did a good job together.
- I liked Lois' grief voiceover. It felt like a callback to S1 where she voiceovered what it felt like to leave Metropolis behind.
- The whole heart replacement beings Sam's heart is in my cheese loving opinion PERFECT. I loved it. I love that he'll be there in every beboysive watched 3 times and cried each time 😅
- The boys shirts at the funeral and the way the funeral was bookended was great.
- Clark waking up at the end made me squeal with joy 😁
Main gripes:
Negatives:
1. Everyone immediately responding to Jon getting powers with 'oh he'll go train at the DOD and be a hero then' felt dumb to me, especially with their criticism of Jordan. Why was no one training Jordan at the DOD? That kid needs help, and he felt a bit ignored and abandoned to me, similar to S2 treatment of Jon. I just really hate seeing either of them going through so much pain and it basically being overlooked.
- It also just feels like a missed opportunity to have Jon immediately happy about it, no need for any help from Jordan, no anxiety about dealing with it without dad's help. I know we only have 7 episodes left, but a scene or two of doubt/fear and encouragement would have been appreciated.
- No mention of Lucy? Really? 😅 I think it hit me worse in an episode talking about sibling 'favourites'. I mean, geez could Sam have had a more obvious favourite? I'm really hoping there's a mention next episode and maybe there was a second video 😅
- Harcastle agreeing to give Sam the serum, then telling JHI she was worried he might use it... she's his boss! Just... take it back 😅
