EPISODE 6 - When the Lights Come On - “Stop Worrying About Your Hair”
Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody.
Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 6 - When The Lights Come On
Directed by:
Ian Samoil
Written By:
Kristi Korzec (Teleplay)
Brent Fletcher (Story)
The Apple TV and Imdb description is:
Luthor plans to move LuthorCorp to Smallville, but finds opposition in Lana; Sarah faces a difficult decision; Clark confronts Luthor face-to-face.
HENRY'S NOTES:
- Luthor temper tantrum. I dunno, I know this was supposed to seem intense but it was just silly to me and it made me laugh.
- Luthor confirms he has an endgame as he gazes on the Gazette
- Fun that Jon is doing the superhero thing and I like that mom and dad finally told Jordan to get a job
- Salt and Pepper patch in his hair (Love that) - it’s funny because Tyloer has a lot of gray in his beard and it looks awesome. Do you think this is a Superman thing or a regular middle aged vanity thing? Interesting that he’s concerned about Superman going gray when every comic book reader knows he looks great with some gray
- Luthor vs Gretchen is a great face off
- Funny that Jon has the Wally West eating thing. Especially because traditionally Superman doesn’t need to eat.
- Ok so now the coach knows the secret and it’s played for comedy? But “Aidy” knows too. They’re definitely going for the “town knows and is protecting him” thing. Lois and Clark don’t even seem that concerned.
- I’m starting to come around on it because of the way the town is reacting to Luthor.
- Lana going toe to toe with Luthor is A+
- I take exception to Sara calling Luthor a “bald headed loser” as if those two things were connected. To quote Larry David, “that’s a hate crime, we’re a group.”
- Sara wants to go abroad in high school? I mean not unheard of but seems odd.
- Nice Varsity Blues reference
- Lana getting beat up by Luthor is spot on. Love that Sarah fucked Otis up with a baseball bat. Good idea Kyle putting bats under beds.
- Clark vs Lex, let’s go. Lex grabbed a red sun inhibitor. Good idea. Unhinged Tyler is new and I love seeing this range from him. Let’s go Clark. Beat his ass. Who taught Clark how to fight?! I’m sorry that was a really cool fight scene. Loved seeing that side of Clark/Tyler.
- Full Mortal Combat
- Has Sarah ever flown with the boys before?
- “Get you a killer suit” with a great pull out shot and tease of the Lexcorp building.
