Lois (to Jon): "Why are you here?"
With ten episodes per season, I do enjoy that this show will not waste time. After briefly meeting him last week, Jon Kent showed up in his past/our present to make himself known to his parents.
Anyone else might have chosen discretion upon trying to prevent the deaths of their parents but Jon went for the direct approach. E interrupted Clark and Lois's dinner date by being a hyperactive bundle and seemed delighted to also meet his Aunt Kara and Uncle Jimmy.
While Clark, Jimmy and Kara all took to Jon instantly, Lois didn't. She was wary of him and the implications of his existence dictating her destiny. Lois's reaction was the most realistic to Jon's presence and she rightly asked why he was there. Lois was pretty shocked when Jon was too forthcoming with the information. Cyborg Superman will kill both Superman and Lois.
Focusing on Superboy here, I'm impressed the show just both version. Aesthetic wise, he looks like Conner Kent but he's Superman and Lois's son, so he's Jon Kent. Given how LGBT friendly this show has been, I'm guessing this version might be gay or bisexual too.
Going back to Cyborg Superman, I knew that Hank Henshaw was going to go against Lex Luthor and I liked that they just had it happen right here. There was something comical in the way that Slade just sat back and let Hank escape. He didn't want to help Lex one bit.
- There's a nice subplot with the Subterranosauri and Prince Tyrannko. Jon managed to bring two species into a peace treaty.
- Jon might have his dad's powers but he's got his mother's inquisitive nature, food tastes and mannerisms.
- Kara's dating profile app actually broke. How much longer will Jimmy go on bad dates because he won't ask her out?
- Chronology: Not long from the previous episode.
Guess Who's Slammin' To Dinner? was a delightful episode. The addition of this version of Superboy has turned out well so far and Darren Criss (who was Superman not so long ago, animation wise) was on great form here.
Rating: 8 out of 10
