Lionel's segment now involves him narrowing escaping danger and looking harried heh heh heh which is exactly the kind of undignified spot he deserves. And they used that shot of Lana being cute in the Fortress, which feels very at odds with where her character is for this season, but maybe that's intentional. I also like them using the shot of Lex seeing Clark superspeed up ahead of him in that fateful car crash. And, though this isn't a new addition, I only now notice that nobody gives bedroom eyes like Lois does to the viewer in her spot LOLOnigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-5192137855618644592017-08-01T00:36:22.002-04:002017-08-01T00:36:22.002-04:00"Superman has always been a Jesus symbol.&quo..."Superman has always been a Jesus symbol."<br /><br />That is actually a recent characterization that has only been around the last 40 years. Superman was originally an amalgama of Samson, Moses, Hercules, with his origin closely resembling that of Moses. He was rocketed away from certain death by his parents, much like how Moses was sent via a wicker basket down the nile river away from certain death. Moses was a champion of the oppressed, fighting for the freedoms and safety of his countrymen when others ignored or failed them, the same goes for Superman fighting for those who couldn't fend or stand for themselves. That was his characterization for a good 40 years before Mario Puzo introduced the Christian elements in the first Superman film.

I just stared at the screen thinking, really? Now? I love the fact that just as he might become interested, she's off with someone else. Besides, I want them to just stay friends.<br /><br />What a great episode. The Clark/Lex fight is my favourite of all time. And, the Lana/Lex romance just keeps heating up.<br /><br />Agree that it will be much better if Clark fights phantoms this year instead of meteor freaks. Fingers crossed...ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
