Forgot to write my reaction. Continuing to be impressed so far. Albeit, I feel something is missing. Not sure I'm sold on the actor playing Jor-El, the one he delivered that line "He will never be like you...Kal-El" sounded very much like Terence Stamp or Marlon Brando's version. Somewhere in between.
Not surprised that they've seemingly changed the design of the Fortress of Solitude...I mean the design in Supergirl was cool, and I don't think they should change that. From what we've seen though, this looks like a very small Fortress. I hope it's bigger than what we have seen so far.
I know this is only the second episode, but I fear this show could potentially turn into a typical CW soap opera which I hope doesn't happen. The teen angst only comes second to me. Superman is first for me. Not the other stuff. More in it for Superman than anything else.
I'm a little bored by Captain Luthor. He seems generic. Maybe he'll grow on me. So we have Ultraman...or Injustice Superman...Justice Lord Superman (or whatever) and the black suit. In spite of the black suit though, I feel like it would have been nice to have seen a TV series do the Death/Return of Superman story in the course of multiple episodes, but I guess it would feel strange given that we should assume this Superman has already faced most of those villains from the past, and he's already been Superman for...17 years? How long exactly? His twin sons are 14, I'm just speculating how much time Clark was active as Superman, before he told Lois his secret and had kids.
I feel what was missing from this episode was the opening montage from the pilot. It was a joy to see the flashbacks of Superman in his early years, and Clark meeting Lois for the first time. I was kind of hoping to see more flashbacks play out showing the first time Lois meets Superman, and showing us the first time she was rescued by Superman. It's because I feel like most of this show, or this season at least will focus primarily on Superman raising his kids and Lana and her firefighter husband, which I'm also not interested in. I hope there's more conflict than that. Like many I think, I'm not that interested in seeing his kids go to High School. The visuals and effects continue to look impressive.
