I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. Superman’s 85thSuperman’s birthday was last week. Kind of a missed opportunity to have a big episode on the actual publication date. What does Superman mean to you? Why do you love SupermanMy Adventures With Superman teaserMy experience with seeing Superman 1&2 back to backNotes from the films - Glen Ford plays it as not only is he having a heart attack but he realizes he's dying. The "oh no" is saying "not now. I thought I had more time. "How long after Pa dies does Clark hear the crystal calling to him? I would've liked at least one more scene with Pa. What is ma telling Clark to remember?Clark asks the one question you might ask God - Who Am I? What is my purpose? Why am I here?I never noticed jimmy said " I told you one P"There's something about 70s NY on film that makes Metropolis feel so important and huge The double Jeopardy scene is the best first appearance period, the end. It's the perfect rescue to introduce Superman. Plane rescue - He literally saves the President on his first night. Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 6S03E6 - “Of Sound Mind” Directed by:Diana ValentineWritten By:George Kitson (from what I can tell, not related to Barry KitsonIMDB & Apple TV: Clark finds himself in uncharted territory; Lois bonds with a new friend; Superman pays Bruno Mannheim a surprise visit; Lana puts Sarah in charge while she's away at a meeting with Chrissy.Henry's Notes:Superman stuffDeadline diedTraces of X K and Superman’s bloodOnomatopoeia speaks! Jordan training, beat all these guysEquus is a fictional comic book supervillain, a cyborg mercenary in the DC Comics universe who serves as an opponent of Superman.[1] Created by writer Brian Azzarello and artist Jim Lee, he first appeared in Superman (vol. 2) #206, which was published in June 2004 as part of the "For Tomorrow" storyline.Mechano-Man - All Star Superman #10Atomic SkullI love the video game that Jordan has to play. Bizarro plus Atomic Skull - double jeopardy for JordanReally fun seeing Atomic Skull in actionJordan, “I can do this all day” ok Cap.Dumb Jordan/Clark fight. Jordan’s gotta know his role.“I have Superman to learn from”Ooooh Onomatopoeia can mimic other people’s voices? Interesting power. How is Superman resisting Kryptonite???“Go save your father” He’s wearing his new costume!That was really intense! How did Superman defeat them? Did Jordan help? Would Superman have defeated them anyway?I knew Jordan would be Kryptonite-resistant Manheim InvestigationNurse: “Mr. Manheim wishes you well in your article”Patient - “What’s your angle?”What if this isn’t about Powers, but trying to keep these guys alive.Cancer patient is talking about Manheim’s accomplishments that helped her and Suicide SlumsNice misdirection with the cancer patient being Onomatopoeia. Is she Manheim’s sister? Did you see that coming, Sam?Cancer stuffReally nice seeing Clark in a support group. Even Superman needs emotional help. “Wasn’t for me” - hmmmmmNurse: “Mr. Manheim wishes you well in your article”Patient - “What’s your angle?”Estate planning. If they haven’t done life insurance yet, then they’re fucked. No Life Insurance company would take her at this point. Clark is in super denial mode.This episode is about Clark’s pain, fear and lack of control.“For the first time I can’t keep you safe. I feel really powerless”Yep, I’m crying. Thanks Tyler and Bitsie.I knew the episode would end with Clark coming back to the group. Not mad about it but that was telegraphed. “So that’s why I’m here. To ask for help.” - ClarkTwins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry“Rusty”“You look like a guy who made a wish to be a kid again”Is Clark trying to control Jordan because he can’t control Lois’ Cancer?Lana/Kyle/SarahIs this Sohpie’s first sighting this season?! Where has she been? Juvie?OMG so awkward with Chrissy and LanaI like that Chrissy and Kyle are continuing. They’re cute.Sarah, “you’re chipper, it’s weird.”No one is paying attention to Sophie. Maybe if she was in more episodes, they’d notice her. They freaking lost her. What the hell?Boy, between the slapping and the negligence, these two are really parents of the yearSad, sad Sophie at the abandoned fair. That is bleak. Sophie’s character arc is going away, then when they need a story for the Cushings, they bring her back. Haha, nice reference to Burger Time. Kyle and Chrissy going steady, cute.
