I can't wait! A week is such a long time to wait

***Artemis*** · 03-09-2021, 08:10 PM

I took a few notes. Will just post them here. Still processing. I love this show so much.

In 9 minutes, I have gone through so many emotions.
I love this show.

Oh no. Football. Jordan, no. And there we go, a rift has begun.

I'm gonna cry. I hate everything. Everything hurts.

Why am I falling for Jonathan? Why is he such a good brother?

"So is creepy lurking one of your superpowers now?"

~~DEREK HALE who?!?!?!?!?!~~

We getting some background on the Cushings and Sarah! Just..wow. That's so hard to handle. That small town life can really mess with you when you really don't feel like you fit that life.

Assistant coach. Kill me. I'm dead. Best. What a dork. I love him.

**My Kind Of Crazy** · 03-09-2021, 08:16 PM

so Sarah quit cheerleading and broke up with her bf and we get to learn more about her family background in this ep.

we get to see more of Jordan's powers in this ep. I hope he can control them ok on the football field. im glad he is getting to play.

Jonathan is being such a good brother

who is this meta that is working for Morgan Edge? even superman is having a hard time taking him down. and now this other meta shows up at the end and kills him. woah.

clark is assistant coach on the football team. this should be interesting

***Artemis*** · 03-09-2021, 08:52 PM

Yeah, Sarah breaking up with her boyfriend and quitting the team, seems like she had some sort of break-through in therapy!

Jordan. Honey. YOU GOT SUPER STRENGTH! You cannot compare yourself to Superman, but you still got powers. BE CAREFUL.

I do like Clark as an assistant coach. Gonna be fun!

We finally got more villain superpeople. Took effort from Superman. And who was the chick at the end?!?!

My goodness how these past two episodes has made me slowly not care about Jordan compared to Jonathan. It’s just always, “Jordan this, or Jordan that. Angsty teen! Poor Jordan.” And I am already fed up 3 episodes in.
I feel Jordan is selfish BUT not self aware that he is. He gets powers similar to his dad, he gets the family full attention and he makes moving to Smallville all about his pain and NOW he decides he went to become a football player? That’s literally the only thing that Jonathan had that he could call his own so I am just frustrated.

Jonathan is just naturally selfless. He has by far sacrificed the most, his home, his girlfriend, his popularity and his football status and he is still being supportive and trying to not judge but when is it Jonathan time? I just feel so badly for him.

Lana storyline! Finally! At first I was not enjoying Sarah disrespecting her mother and Lana coming off so weak but as the episode continued I enjoyed watching the story play out as it did and us understanding how Lana has been living in misery for a long time and it’s probably because she settled with Kyle and that makes me feel sorry for her. I want Lana to have true happiness (Clark is off limits, sorry. . Sarah scenes with the twins, eh.

The family stuff was amazing to watch!!! Right from the paint fight I had a smile on my face. I loved the backstory about the first time Clark eavesdropped on her and it almost ruined their relationship but Clark kept sending her flowers and Lois couldn’t resist since she still loved him so much. lol They are just couple goals and you can see why they just worn.

Jordan is proving that Clark was right not telling them about his powers.

Jordan is just getting on my nerve, it's all, "me, me, me" 24/7 and I'm already tired.

**My Kind Of Crazy** · 03-10-2021, 10:54 AM

yeah I liked Jordan at first but now he is quickly becoming my least favorite. he has to stop being so selfish. Jonathan is now my favorite twin.

Pempees · 03-10-2021, 11:01 AM

Okay, so first off, I loved this episode.

The family stuff was great. I think the show, this far, has a perfect balance with the super stuff and the family stuff. We get these deep conversations and tough choices, fights and then the cute moments like the paint fight

Clark joining the football team as a assistant coach, so cute when he pretended the cooler was heavy

I am really with most of you about Jordan. He is superbly selfish, and he should appreciate Jonathan helping him to play football, since Jonathan is giving up a lot. It was his thing and even though "he doesn't own football", it was the one thing that was going on for him. Jonathan was so rational about the listening in with Clark and to be fair, if Clark had not showed up, Jordan would have fried Sean for sure.

Clark and Lois are so perfect for each other. The moment when Lois called Clark to the motel room, my heart was beating. Think about how worried Clark was when she called

Anyway, I sensed that something was off about the character when Lois stabbed her with the pen through the ear and he wasn't even bleeding.

But what is going on with all these people with powers, and so similar to Clark's?? The meta he fought in the motel, and then the girl who fried the first meta. WHAT IS GOING ON!! I can't wait till next week

**My Kind Of Crazy** · 03-10-2021, 01:06 PM

yeah I cant wait to learn more about these metas showing up in smallville.

Pempees · 03-11-2021, 03:11 PM

And why do they have kyptonian powers? I do hope there is some other explanation than that they are in fact kryptonian.

**wickedrum** · 03-12-2021, 04:02 PM

the powers aren't necessarily kryptonian

fire for a heart · 03-14-2021, 04:33 AM
