My mom called, so I missed the very ending. How much does the Kryptonian genes go? Will the grandkids be supers, or will the 3/4 human genes override? Granted, it's not like Jonathan and Jordan have to hide their identities as adults. I loved it. Can't wait for season 4 to come out on blu-ray, so it will complete my set. And I officially have nothing left to watch on the CW. Good job, network.

I actually really liked Jordan in this. I loved how he referenced his panic attacks when he was calming the diner owner down. I loved that he sat with her and protected her. And, I laughed at his frustration that his food item was on the kids menu. And I don't blame him for being frustrated. And I agree with the poster above who said that if every teenager who whines about not being treated as an adult needs therapy, every teenager on the planet should be booking an appointment. That's part of being a teenager. You're whiny. You want to be treated like an adult. And, especially since his twin brother has his food item listed in the regular menu. But, I also found the fries hilarious and, yeah, a pretty sizeable portion. If the three super beings go after Doomsday and Lex, they would probably be able to defeat him. Add John Henry and Natalie to the mix. I understand Supes wanting to keep the boys safe, but he's weakening every day. The twins' combination can help. Remember them tag-teaming Natalie's super suit? I think I'll be fine with seeing Clark's powers completely leave him next week in the finale and he turn over the cape to the boys. I don't think I'm at a good place to see him die again. Like I said earlier this season, I'm watching my own personal Superman, my Dad slowly decline from cancer, to the point where it's hard to make these end of the year plans because I'm scared Mom will be calling me home because Daddy has passed away. So, for me, I want to see Clark be able to live a much longer, albeit normal life. I don't want Doomsday to kill him a second time. (I teared up when he said how much he loved Lois and the boys). I can really see the last scene of this series (are we going to have a two hour series finale? I hope so, because as stated above, there are a lot of things to wrap up), Lois and a depowered Clark having a barbecue at the Kent farm with their friends. We'll see Chrissy and Kyle and their baby, Sarah will be home from studying abroad, Lana and Sophie will be there - even though we've only seen Sophie once in like 2 seasons, Natalie and John Henry will be there. The twins will hear a distress call. They'll look over at Clark, who, even though he no longer has powers and can't hear what they hear, he knows what's going on, and he will nod and will whisper for them to go. The only ones who I see factoring into the plot itself of the finale are the Irons. We definitely don't need to have a plot line with Kyle and Chrissy, although, as in my imaginary last scene, they are there. Sarah is studying abroad. Lana may be there to help Lois discover something to take down Luther. I'm going to miss this show, and I plan on getting season 4 on blu-ray to match my other three seasons. TH has become my second favorite iteration of Clark Kent, after Christopher Reeve. I will miss his eternal dorkiness. I love how great of a dad and husband he made Clark. You know, there's been a debate, probably since Batman and Superman first debuted: what is the real persona and what is they "mask." For Batman, except for the Adam West series, I always say that Batman is the real persona. Bruce Wayne died with his parents and Batman was born then. Bruce Wayne is the mask that Batman puts on. For Superman, it's usually Clark is the real persona. Or like Dean Cain said in the 90s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman: "Clark is who I am, Superman is what I can do." In TH's portrayal, Clark is DEFINITELY the real person. Even when he's Superman, he's Clark Kent. And I really kind of love that.

They're guys. What do you expect?

My CW kept pixelating and losing signal. So, I think I missed things. Can someone please explain to me what the deal was with Jamie Kennedy? I liked his show when I was in college, but that was 25 years ago. Has he done anything of relevance since then? I can't buy all the teenagers knowing who he is. I mean, might as well also say Carrot Top and Pauly Shore sent friend requests. And thank you. Once again, I was trying to figure out who was playing the reporter.

I liked it. I thought it was sweet. And I also was pretty amused at "Oops. Forgot my wallet in the truck. Here I go, getting my wallet. What do you mean I'm back quickly? I just went out to the parking lot to get my wallet." I also laughed at Clark being the bunt king. But, I'm glad that the world's worst kept secret is now no longer a secret. Even taking a page from Tony Stark's "I am Iron Man!" press conference. Albeit a lot more humble with Clark. And how accepting everyone was. And, yeah, I was also getting serious "Jimmy Olsen is dead" vibes, so I'm glad that he's not, and him and CK were able to reconnect. I thought it was sweet. A nice breather to the final three episodes, no doubt.

Yeah, pretty sure Denise was giggling at the fact that Superman was buying regular stuff from her like an everyday person. It was Clark that panicked and tried to hide the hair dye from Lana (and she was only like "OK, he's being weird.")

I kind of loved everything about this one. That powerless fight at the end was brutal, and I loved every moment about it. And I also loved Jon and Jordan echoing me with their collective "That was awesome!" Mild mannered Clark Kent definitely can hold his own, powers or no powers. I also noticed the gray flecks in Clark's hair in the last couple episodes, but I also thought that it was Tyler Hoechlin's natural hair. He's 37 now, so I didn't think anything about it. But, this is why I also love his Clark Kent so much. His Clark is such a dork. Of course he gets a complex at the thought of having gray hair! But, yeah, I also beg to differ with Lois. There are some things about growing old that sucks. I'm a woman and I have decided to just stop dying my hair and let my gray out. I'm 46. I've earned it. But, my shoulder hurts, and I'm watching my parents become elderly and watching my father slowly die from cancer. I only got the diagnosis that I have cataracts. I feel changes in weather in my shoulder, ankle, and knee. Growing older does have things that SUCK about it. Of course, I have wisdom and life experiences that I didn't have when I was 23. And I know myself better. But, I can see where someone who has always been at his peak would be struggling with these limitations, and the gray hair is just a reminder. You know, with all of Smallville knowing that Clark is Superman, which, yes, I'm also from a small Kansas town, and the best way to let everyone know a secret is to tell one person and say "Don't tell anyone." But I'm also wondering if they also put 2 and 2 together with the aftermath of Doomsday. Denise certainly did. But, they would have also had to have known that Clark died. I mean, what did Lois and the boys say while he was dead? That he's can't come to the phone right now? So, Clark suddenly appearing alive and Superman also appearing alive at the same time would have triggered some people to figure it out. (And I absolutely think that Clark is the reason that the bar patrons stood up to Lex. Superman is here! And that was also very awesome.)

The CW (mostly) behaved on me. So, I was so happy I got to experience Lex's amazing wig. Yay to that. So, agree to the above. At this point, every single person in the entire world knows Clark Kent is Superman. Worst kept secret ever. Good grief, a couple of teenage girls are better at keeping Clark Kent's secret than his own sons. But, I did kind of love Jordan's cover stories. Jonathan is a reporter on the side! Yeah, black market puppy ring! Why won't you believe me? What was that at the end? Did Doomsday kill himself? I wasn't sure what I was looking at because that's when the CW decided I'd seen enough and started freezing and pixelating like crazy. So I wasn't sure what I was looking at. And thank you for the above posters to identify who the actress playing Elizabeth was. That was driving me crazy! I knew her, but I was having the hardest time placing her. So, thank you.

Watched today. Yay, Clark's back. And I'm glad they didn't drag it on, give him amnesia for a few episodes, something like that. And so glad that his personality is in tact. I loved him geeking out over Jon getting the Star Wars reference. And I don't mind the problems he's having. The heart that he has is fundamentally human, even if it is enhanced with Kryptonian DNA. But, please bring on more buzzed Clark. That was fun. But, yeah, I'm also someone who thinks that Lex didn't crush Superman's heart. Which will, sadly, make Sam's sacrifice all in vain. I was going "Oh, Sophie does still exist!" When was the last time we saw her? But, to the poster who said Chrissy's pregnancy happened off screen (I think you meant between seasons), Chrissy said she was pregnant on the last season finale, I think. Either that, or it was the episode before it. At least, I knew she was pregnant before this episode. But count me in on those who just don't care. Although I was wondering if Mom was evil, like she was part of Lex's henchmen who would report to him that hey, Lois Lane's husband is back. Probably the storyline that was going on in my head was too complicated. But I think that may have been more interested than the standard runaway bride trope. And I didn't mind Jordan in this episode. I'm an only child, but I understand why he would be so crushed at the phone message. I'm actually glad he's taking a step back and working things out. And I also liked that, while Jon is a natural with his new-found powers, he also still has a lot of growing to do before becoming a hero. And I do hope that he did listen to Lois' words.

I do want to say -- How awesome was it that Jordan was reading To Kill a Mockingbird? It is my all-time favorite book (and the movie is one of my top 10 favorite movies). I've read that book at least once a year since I was 11 years old. It is the book that got me through college (I wrote something like 5 term papers on it). So, it did my heart good to see him reading To Kill a Mockingbird.

What is going on with this show and killing off fathers? Is John Henry going to be next? Since I'm facing the death of my own father, this just doesn't seem fair to me! I also have never liked Jordan, and kickingnames, you pretty much hit the nail on the head for me as well. My issue was never been his social anxiety and the mental health fight. In fact, I applaud this show for tackling it. But, the attitude, especially with his powers, is tiring. And that's why I just gravitate to Jonathan. He was kind of a fish out of water in Smallville and then has to watch his brother with the powers. But, although some hiccups along the way, he just seems more grounded and level headed, but also more upbeat, than his brother. Which is why it did make me laugh that Jonathan not only seems to have all of his father's powers but took to them so naturally. Of course, he probably also knows "Well, Jordan has this power, and he handles it like this. So let me try this as well." Though, I guess, Jonathan reminds me that I'm watching a family drama, but Jordan reminds me that I'm watching a CW show. And I think that's ultimately the difference. I've never been a big CW show fan, if you understand my meaning.

Like I said, my CW was pixelating and freezing, so I'll have to watch it on streaming tomorrow. But, I'm actually glad that Jonathan now has powers. I like Jonathan (no matter the actor playing him). And, hee for him to adapt to his powers so quickly. I agree with the poster above who said that Elizabeth Tullock is killing it as Lois Lane. I also watched her in Grimm, and Juliet was probably my least favorite character in the ensemble. But, that reminds me -- I'm from KC, and every summer the celebrities from KC (Paul Rudd, Jason Sudakis, Eric Stonestreet) have a charity event called Big Slick that raises money for Children's Mercy Hospital. They have a softball game before a Royals game, and it attracts a lot of celebrities to participate (like Weird Al). And, this year, Elizabeth Tullock joined in the softball game. I was trying to figure out the connections that led her to join in (BTW, she is not much of a softball player!) But that was so cool to see her!

My stupid CW always freezes and pixelates. Will watch tomorrow on streaming.

It's been so long since I've been here that I've forgotten how this box works! My Dad is dying of cancer, so this caught me in the feels. And, maybe because I'm trying to face my Dad's death, I thought the conversation between Lois and the boys were going to include Jon saying something like, "I never thought he could die. Not because he's Superman but because he's Dad." I don't agree this Lex is too sadistic. I'm very interested to seeing what will happen and where he is going with this. I also thought that the heart that Lex crushed wasn't Clark's heart. It looked different than what was in Doomsday's hand. Although that's a big hand. I'm also kind of worried that Clark/Superman will remain dead and will be in just hologram form until the finale. I hope not. But, it's still a better take on The Death of Superman than Batman v Superman.

You'd think that TOS didn't know about Spock/Chapel :D Everything else in SNW, I'm completely fine with in terms of TOS canon. I don't care if they want to introduce JTK before he takes command of the Enterprise. I'm fine with this. I'm fine with the little inconsistencies. I'm OK with Spock being more human in this one. But, I can't reconcile myself to Spock/Chapel, except by saying that this is an alternate timeline. The only explanation is that you've got two attractive actors, and there has to be a love story. And there's canon relating to Chapel having an unrequited crush on Spock.
