Season 1, Episode 2: "Heritage" (SPOILERS)

[flickchick85]

"His human DNA is just too limiting."

Goddamn if they aren't setting up the Eradicator, this is just cruel, lol.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Ouch this version of Jor-El is cold, even more so than the version in Smallville.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I’m still convinced that Jonathan has the power within him

 

[Primal Slayer]

Jor Jor, the kid displayed super powers and your dated rock is showing nothing, I think you need an upgrade.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Don Draper lol

 

[regnak]

Maybe the boys are like the wonder twins and only have powers together?

 

[flickchick85]

I’m still convinced that Jonathan has the power within him

I think the powers will be split between them.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Yeah that’s about what I expected out of Lois Lane the mom

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Kyle seems like a solid dude in a bind

 

[Primal Slayer]

This entire family feels like fish out of water and not meant for farm life.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Kyle seems like a solid dude in a bind

Kyle is slimy sucker and I don’t trust him.

 

[flickchick85]

Oh no, I hope there isn’t a noticeable difference/drop in quality

If there is, I doubt it will be too noticeable. Every show starts with a "show bible" created by the showrunner and pilot director that dictates the aesthetic technical aspects of the show for each rotating director/DP/etc. to follow. So stylistically/cinematography-wise, it will be the same. The quality fluctuations come in with the scripts and of course, when directors try to do new things that clash with the show bible. Which is why I'm wary of Jesse Bamford directing episode 4, because his insistence on a "yay practical, boo CGI!" approach won't fly with this show any better than it did on SG. Even worse, I'd say.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Im really needing a Supergirl name drop with this talk about what Superman is capable of. There are 2 Kryptons on Earth buddy.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Lois you should call Kara who can call Lena who can just buy The Daily Planet.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Kyle is slimy sucker and I don’t trust him.

I’m hoping he’s just a jerk at worst, gonna be interesting to see what they do with him

 

[The Caped Knight]

I like seeing Lois fired up, that’s the Mad Dog Lane we all know and love.

 

[flickchick85]

Betting pool on when Eliza breaks up with Jon? I'll say episode 4. It's coming soon, lol.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

The Kents are wholesome and must be protected at all costs!!!

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Always with evil Superman. Lol.

 

[flickchick85]

Well it's nice to see the black suit again!

 

[The Caped Knight]

Always with evil Superman. Lol.

It’s a troop that gets used a lot.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Where is Perry White? Is he still alive? I wish the DP built up a bit more with characters to make Lois quitting more powerful.

But it was another enjoyable episode! Fortress seems basic and I hope there is more to it as we've seen in Supergirl.

Oh we got see evil Superman! Only downside is that they reused the black costume instead of creating a new one. Love the collar though.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

It makes sense why Perry might not play as big a role as he used to if Clark’s been Superman for 20 years, especially with Edge buying the planet

 

[flickchick85]

Oh we got see evil Superman! Only downside is that they reused the black costume instead of creating a new one. Love the collar though.

That was his best suit before this show, so I'm glad they're getting a chance to use it again, lol.

 

[Web-Head]

I liked this more than the pilot, for sure. The teen angst wasn't as noticeable and less set up involved. The action continues to impress and while I've always been pretty sold on Tyler as Clark/Superman, he's really coming into his own. I wasn't sold on Bitsie as Lois until this episode though. Wow. She was great, especially there at the end. Not surprised she quit the Planet.

Of course they went the "Injustice" route, but like others said, at least we got to see the black suit again. Episode 3 seems to have more of that "angst" again so we'll see. Loving this show so far!

I'll look at making some avatars tomorrow.
