Superman & Lois 1x14 : The Eradicator review

 


            Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.

Superman and Lois returns from it's hiatus with the penultimate episode of it's first season. When we last saw this show we saw Morgan Edge literally become the eradicator itself. Embedding him with supreme power he can now use this power to turn people in Kryptoninans. With that being said the episode begins inside of the Kent family home. Inside we hear that a lot of local businesses have shut down due to Morgan Edge not being around anymore. Plenty of the businesses are struggling very bad with the people in Smallville also being pretty upset with the whole situation. The D.O.D especially as various members of the organization walk the streets of Smallville which the citizens say is driving others away from the area. This all comes to a head at a town hall meeting where General Lane is present taking questions from some very angry people. Lois and Clark are also present but just as things are getting a little out of control Clark hears something in the distance. It turns out that Morgan Edge has busted Leslie out of her cell and taken off with her. General Lane, Lois and Clark all are seen leaving the hall with the people angrily shouting at them demanding both answers and a way to resolve everything that is going on.

With Edge and Leslie now in the wind we soon learn of just where they're gone. They're in Metropolis and with the newfound power that General Lane witnessed first hand in the last episode he is surely strong enough to destroy the city with Leslie. Superman, Lois and John Henry Irons soon show up and immediately see Morgan Edge floating in the air above a park in the middle of Metropolis. A big number of people have gathered around the area too as Superman and Steel begin to get ready to charge forward they're met by 4 new Kryptonians created by Edge. A fight erupts within the city that leaves destruction in it's wake. Superman and Steel manage to defeat these new Kyrptonians but in between there is a really cool moment that involves Lois Lane. She is atop a building reporting live from the scene. It's a direct call back to what happened to John Henry Irons wife Lois on his Earth. This time he gets some redemption and uses his hammer to save Lois from being completely evaporated by Leslie. A great moment not only for John Henry Irons but Lois also. This is what I talked about before with this show just ties everything back up together it's wonderful. 


The episode draws to a close as with the 4 Kryptonians defeated Superman and Steel charge at Edge but get thrown back by a giant wave of energy. Edge soon leaves the area to recruit some more according to a captured Leslie. Recruit just who though?? well after going home from a party both Johnathan and Jordan along with Sarah are seen with General Lane about to go home. Edge shows up in the middle of the road stopping the car in it's tracks hurting everyone inside. Johnathan who had earlier been working with John Henry Irons fires off a Kryptonite infused gun but Edge disappears. He is still present however and just up and takes Jordan before flying off into the night sky. Superman soon arrives but he is too late, late even when looking for his son when he uses his super hearing to try and find and hear anything but it's to no avail. He is soon back on the ground and informs Lois of what's happened stating that he has no idea what there next move is. Little do they know however that Morgan Edge has an ulterior motive. We see Edge once again who is now The Eradicator Incarnate. He begins to shoot energy from his hands and it consumes Jordan slowly turning him into something else..someone else. When the process is complete his eyes glow red and he says let us begin and it is clear that Jordan is no more and Morgan Edge or should I say Tal Rho's father is now inside of Jordan. The episode ends right there and then wow what a great episode. A very good set up for next weeks finale that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's sad that next week is already the finale it's come around so quickly. That is a testament to all involved here who have created a Superman show for the ages. Roll on next week!

★★★★

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
