Oh wow, great catch.I like how Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest mirror. Appropriate setting for that fight.

Also, Lucy seeing her "other self." That's some specific wording. What are the odds this ties into the multiverse and/or Bizzarro World?
I think Tag's super-speed comes with some strength too. Remember when he first got it and was fritzing, he broke a (pretty thick) tree in half.
...I don't get what was so bad about anything Lois said in that fight with Lucy that was recorded. Her sister was OD'ing, clearly out of her right mind on drugs (which I'm sure there's a medical record of), so why WOULD she listen to whatever she was saying at that moment?? Why would she be expected to include her rantings in that moment in her article? Like, I get why it would sound horrible to the other cultists and just reaffirm what they've already been led to believe about Lois' narrative, but to Chrissy? I don't get it.

Yeah, I had the same reaction. The dramatic intent was clear enough: Lois had become professionally and ethically compromised. Problem was, the writers supplied her with some very reasonable and convincing counterarguments. So the execution didn’t seem to match the scene’s purpose.
I kind of wish Clark had a bit more to chew on. Other that being confused and frustrated about Bizarro, whatever emotional journey he has this season hasn't made itself clear yet.
I feel the total opposite to this. I think it's because I'm seeing in him something I struggle with myself - not feeling good enough.
He said a lot of it in the last episode - he's feeling like a total failure.
He's questioning his role as a dad, husband & superhero. And in each role, he keeps coming up against challenges and mistakes and people pushing back and even TELLING him he's not good enough. Lois didn't want to open up to him in the first episode about Natalie so he felt powerless and like his help wasn't wanted. Anderson made him feel useless and a liability as a superhero in episode 2 when his visions got in the way of saves. His kids seeing him rage out in episode 3 made him feel like he was going to screw them up. And now... 2 teens are dead & his friend (Natalie's Dad... the same Natalie whose mom was killed by another version of him) is in hospital... all because they don't trust him to handle it himself because they've repeatedly seen him fail.
It's a real crisis of self belief, and I think he's playing it real well. Because I'm feeling it. I'm empathising with it. It resonates for me.
Yeah that design seems like a perfect compromise between what we're currently getting and the too-impractical but aesthetically-pleasing helmet-less look he often sports in the comics.Part of why I'm excited about a new Steel suit is because I'm really hoping they'll have an open helmet so we can do away with those Tony Stark moments. They're just awkward, IMO. Let the actor be more connected to the action scenes, too.
Oh, I think we've allllll been there.
Interesting, I see where you're coming from. I'll keep this in mind and see if it starts clicking with me.
I'm hoping we'll have John Henry Irons wearing a suit inspired by Shaquille O'Neal's Steel.
That was my first thought as well.Also, Lucy seeing her "other self." That's some specific wording. What are the odds this ties into the multiverse and/or Bizzarro World?
Well with regards to Chrissy, I think the most recent episode description suggests people are right about her doing the "deep cover" thing, knowing the cult is surveilling them. Seems she and Lois likely had another conversation in the car.That was my first thought as well.
I'm enjoying this season so far, but I do feel the current Lois storyline feels disconnected. Not in terms of content. I think it's clearly headed towards being connected to Bizarro World, but tonally it feels a little off. Especially with Lois' newspaper buddy. That said, Eliza is of course selling it well.
