I liked the first season, second season kinda meh, doubt I'd bother with a third. Its actually a decently made show but its missing something

I mentioned it on this thread, it was a while ago, but having a square earth meld with the geoid earth, was such a bad idea, and annoyed the old nerd in me...

great casting tho, so i hope the new season arc is decent..

I have been a superman fan since about the mid 70s.

I enjoyed most of the movies and the 1990s series with Dean Cáin. Lois and Clark

Never got into smallville as it appeared to be Dawson creek with superheros.

I'm in two minds about this series. It's a bit dark in terms of lighting and effects.

It's also a bit drawn out. Too narrative for my taste though all actors put in a good show.

Also they rarely seem to leave smallville and that makes it visually boring.

What makes you think it could be the final season?

New owners of the CW might be ditching allot of shows by 2013 to 2024 season.

Bobtheman

I don't know if I'd bother watching a third season. I'm getting a bit sick of narrative arc shows.

It could use a bit of humour like the 1990s series.

I just don't like the aesthetics either. Quite dark.

They could do with the odd guest star too

Superman & Lois Casts Michael Cudlitz as New Lex Luthor for Season 3

Brief_Lives

It will be hard for those of us who grew up with Michael Rosenbaum,... incredible voice....

Jon Cryer, I actually never saw him in an episode... too much travel with work,.

Now this guy, I will have to go to youtube to hear what he sounds like. But as long as there is no square based planets in our physical universe, it will be an improvement.

I actually thought the square planet was brilliant and really well done and raging Star Trek never done that but it crashing into the normal Earth from the Normal Universe was silly.

Supposedly it costs $5 million dollars per episode. With The CW cutting costs not sure if it will last another season.

Watched the first episode of season 3 this morning. I had low expectations for it. Was just thinking this is going to be so crap now with all the good shows out but it beat my expectations and I really enjoyed it. It's actually quiet a good episode where a lot happens and some good funny moments too.

You would barely notice the new actor for Jordan either although he barely gets much to do in this episode anyway.

EoinMcLovin

Yeah good episode and fyi that villain in the mask was Onomatopoeia who is usually a Green Arrow villain.

Mr E

Decent enough alright. Good casting for Jordan's replacement.

CastorTroy

Probably because it's the same actor for Jordan. 😀 ( I got mixed up as well when posting somewhere else.)

But, yeah, they literally introduced the new Jonathan at the beginning of the episode to be sure the audience wasn't confused that's who he's meant to be.

Probably due to not wearing baggy dark clothes and having her hair down, but Sarah looked different.

Lana taking money from the crime protection fund?

Good start to the season and curious to see where it goes.

Mr E

Another good episode.

I'd put money on...

Spoiler Warning

Vagina-face zapping Lois's cancer by the end of the season.

Took me few seconds to realize you meant. You mean onomatopoeia?

Mr E

Yep, didn't know his name. 🙂

AMKC

Well that was an episode with many ups and downs and feelings involved too. I was crying for Lois but even before she had said it had guessed it right. Always great when a show really touches your feelings.

CastorTroy

Hopefully that's the end of mopey Jordan with Sarah.

Speaking of Sarah, it's like she's completely changed this season. Not as moody and wearing brighter clothes.
