THE Penultimate episode of the 1st season of Superman & Lois, aka one of the Greatest Shows Of ALL Time. And how was it?
Well as with literally (and I mean LITERALLY) EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF Superman & Lois SO FAR, THIS EPISODE WAS ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY PERFECT. Like maaaaan even though this show is about an alien that can shoot lasers and fly faster than a speeding bullet because he can absorb the Sun's energy into his body, it STILL feels more grounded and realistic than most shows airing today. Like, for spoilers (you have been warned), there's a scene in this episode, where Jonathan is trying to connect with Irons and then makes a comment of how "awesome" it was that his daughter helped him make his war suit. Now this is something that almost anyone in real life would say to Irons in a conversation. And, as an example of the GREAT & PERFECT Writing behind this show, Irons responds with how it's not "awesome" that his daughter had to live her last months of life in a bunker and help him make a war suit after watching her mother get killed on live television (oh and WOLE PARKS' FANTASTIC Performance as Iron Parks definitely helped also lol).
If this was some random scene in almost any other movie or show, this would NOT happen. Jonathan would say how "awesome" it was - Irons would say how proud of his daughter he was for being so smart to help him create such an advanced warsuit (or hell instead of that just give off a smirk), but even for such a seemingly small moment. The brilliant writers behind Superman & Lois, pulled back ZERO punches, and made that scene the absolute GREATEST & PERFECT it could POSSIBLY BE.
And I brought up that awesometacular example. Because literally EVERY SINGLE SCENE in this episode was like that. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I'm not going to go through all of the scenes or anything, but I will say this. The cliffhanger in this penultimate episode of Season 1 of Superman & Lois, is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I've heard this said before, and now I'll say it again. The fact that this show can make a story revolving around Superman, one of the most famous characters of all time, STILL SURPRISING AND ABSOLUTELY JAW-DROPPING, is nothing short of a miracle. Actually scratch that. Fuck miracles. It's nothing short of the INCREDIBLE and TREMENDOUS work put in by the writers, actors & the entire crew behind this incredible show.
In 8 hours & 50 minutes (give or take), Superman & Lois will air it's FIRST Season Finale. It will air the Season Finale of Superman & Lois Season 1. Just as with ARROW & The Flash (both of whose Season 1 Finales are some of the Highest Rated Episodes of Television of ALL Time on this site and beyond) (and hell even DC's Legends Of Tomorrow), I just KNOW than in 8 hours & 50 minutes (give or take). One of the GREATEST EPISODES OF TELEVISION, and One of the GREATEST SEASON FINALES OF ALL TIME, will begin airing. And you bet on everything to ever exist, that I will BE THERE when it does. And that's all I have to say. This episode was absolutely perfect. And Tomorrow's Finale is going to somehow top the perfection that was this episode.
So. See all of you wonderful people, on the other side of this INCREDIBLE show, tomorrow, on the other side, The FINALE Of Superman & Lois!
