Lois: "So when we changed the future"
Clark: "We rewrote Jon's entire life."
Well, that was to be expected, wasn't it? Gone was the more cheerful Jon Kent and in his place, we have a more cynical version of the character. Oh and the woman with him turned out to be Lara Lane-Kent.
Lara's a little softer compared to Jonathan (which this version went by) but at the same time, she was also keen to complete the mission to kill Lex Luthor. Lois was shocked upon learning that her alternative self was the one to order to a hit on Lex. I guess Lois does take after Sam in another universe.
Lara and Jonathan went back to this time to kill Lex but also to stop the latter from successfully launching the Eradicator onto the general population. If anything their presence in the timeline caused the very thing they were trying to stop. The siblings duo made things worse here.
Their actions even caused a lot of severe damage to Kara. Despite her best efforts, Supergirl and her super powered niece and nephew weren't enough to take out the Eradicator. However the events of this episode have Clark a clue as to how he could get his powers back. For that, he needed the help of Bizarro.
Going back to the Fortress had Bizarro render Clark unconscious. This lead to a decent cliffhanger and I guess by the end of next week's episode, Superman will be fully restored. As for the Eradicator, it's amazing how quickly Lex lost control of it. Not even five minutes out of stasis and it had a mind of it's own.
- Amanda Waller and Slade both enjoyed putting Lex in his place throughout the whole episode. Waller even threatened to have LexCorp shut down.
- Jimmy and Kara are still in an awkward place with each other. Kara was pretty annoyed with him.
- They really did dress Jonathan and Lara as twins. I assumed they are twins in this continuity. They look about the same age.
- Chronology: From where the previous episode left off.
It's Reigning (Super) Men did a decent job with it's newer take on Jonathan Kent and it's introduction of Lara. The Eradicator scenes packed enough of a punch along with Kara's sacrifice. This season has been so good.
Rating: 7 out of 10
