I finally managed to snag the hubby for long enough to watch this and now I get to catch up on your lovely meta! I was really touched by Lana's acceptance of Clark and the reveal of Chloe's mutant healing abilities. Lots of great moments and interactions all around for the female characters (which I really appreciate because I think they get shafted sometimes to serve the plot and/or Clark's arc). And the reveal of Lionel/Jor-el's motivations was very satisfying--nice to know why he was puppet-mastering all season long.

And now to nerd out a little bit about Bizarro Superman and what that could mean for season 7! After consulting the hubby and digging around online for info, here's what I found:
  • Bizarro superman--the original one from the 50's/60's comics lived on HTRAE ("earth" backwards) where it was like opposite day: it was a crime to do anything good, everything round was square, etc.

  • Other Bizarro incarnations include a Superman clone made by Lex Luthor.

  • Bizarro has chalky, sometimes stone-like skin. He was a similar costume to Superman's but with a reversed S, a ragged cape and other weird details to emphasize his imperfection.

Plus, Bizarro Clark is super hot (dare I say, even as hot as Red K Clark?). What a great bad guy to introduce! I love it when they introduce and play with characters/ideas from comic canon :D

Now I want more! At least it's coming back in September (as opposed to Lost and BSG and other evil shows that are making me wait till January...)
