Superman (to his family): "I love you all."
Woah, did we just do Batman V. Superman again here? I knew we weren't done with Doomsday and of course, Lex decided the best use of his fancy new suit was to make that thing into an even worse killing machine than before.
Doomsday got a very nice new look for his final form but sadly any hope of Lois tapping into any remaining humanity was a no go. Lex made sure that this time he was focused on killing Superman once and for all. Oh and Lex also decided he wanted a front row seated and all of Smallville nuked for good measure.
It turns out that when an entire town rejects your money, its enough to want to use Doomsday to destroy it. Even Amanda realised that Lex was completely out of his mind and decided to abandon him and throw her lot in with Lois. The one person who had his back all season. Lex really doesn't play well with others.
Amanda's sudden change up did feel a tad rushed but it worked more or less. Thanks to a brief return from Bruno Mannheim, Lois realised that the likely dead Cheryl was another Amanda and that was enough for Lois to wise Amanda up to Lex. Lex also blowing up on Amanda may have also contributed to her change up too.
As for Jonathan and Jordan - well of course they're not strong enough to take out Doomsday. That should've been a given. However that didn't stop either from showing their true heroics in helping citizens to flee Doomsday while their father tried to stop the latter. There's actually a great scene with Jordan and Vicky May and it's easily the best the character has ever had. It's that good.
- Vicky May's had fries for Jordan and a French dip for Jonathan. The former wasn't best pleased.
- Lois has become something of a PR liability thanks to her Godfrey interview.
- I thought we'd see more of the other cast but I'm assuming they're bring saved for next week's big finale.
- Chronology: Not long from where the previous left off.
To Live And Die Again does seem like it's repeating what we did earlier in the season with Superman and Doomsday but something in spite of having a 60 year old heart, the former might have a very different outcome. I can't believe there's only one more episode to go.
Rating: 8 out of 10
