Greetings Super friends! Welcome BACK to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody.

S03E5 - “Head On”
Directed by: David Ramsey
Written By:
Andrew N. Wong
IMDB & Apple TV: Clark and General Lane are both having a hard time giving Lois room to make her own decisions; Lana and Sarah have a run-in with an old friend at the diner; Natalie has a surprise visitor.
Superman stuff
- Is Superman in this episode? There he is with 10:25 to go.
- Seems like there’s maybe too much Kryptonie available? I like when it’s a big deal that someone gets it.
- Villain reminds me of “Loophole” aka Deacon Dickson from my favorite issue of Superman - Adventures of Superman #505.
- YES BIZARRO!
Manheim Investigation
- Lois is so badass for doing the investigating while getting her treatment.
- Is that a different villain with phasing powers?
- Chrissy is sporting an RGB collar!
- WHOA! Lois was busted by Manheim right away!!!!
- I like Manheim showing Lois is human side and not just locking her in a room
Cancer stuff
- Round 2
- “I’m just here to support you pumpkin, anyway I can” - Sam
- Very moving montage which seemed to have a sense of realism to it.
- The piano intro is also very moving
- Clark talking to the chemo patients. This is really classic Clark Kent stuff. Connecting with the people of Metropolis. Truly a man of the people.
Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry
- Jonathan/Kyle…interesting. Can a High Schooler work at a fire station? According to the law, no. What’s wrong with a kid wanting to have his weekends free Kyle? Also, why does Jonathan want to do it? Is it cuz he wants to help like his brother?
- Ok Nat.
- Lol Sam Lane online dating
- Very cute sitcom ending
Lana/Kyle/Sarah
- Mayor Dean confronting Lana is rough. Some stop the steal vibes, eh?
- Do we care about the dance and about Lana’s tough time?
- Kyle and Chrissy went to HS at different times. How different? They seem around the same age. Also, WHY IS THE EDITOR OF THE TOWN PAPER CHAPERONING A SCHOOL DANCE?
- Oh god, this is hard to watch - Kyle, please stop. Is Kyle from the 80s or the 90s? The actor is 43, and she’s 33
- Uh oh Sarah, getting into the hard alcohol. Mayor Dean’s son looks like he’s 40.
- Can Chrissy keep a secret? I mean isn’t she a journalist
