Episode 2.07 - Anti-Hero

[Pia]

I hope we see Anderson’s downfall. So he’s basically choosing himself over Superman so that he’s not stripped of his duties?

“Time loses all meaning” truth

This cell with the books and the armchair is very Evil Guy’s Secret Den.

"General Hardcastle"

Another military asshole. Oh joy!

Lois! Blow the story to the press! Then Jordan and Jonathan immediately called that out LOL

Lois wants to barge in and resolve it herself, this is why I love her

It would be convenient for the family if Lucy was still a JAG lawyer like on Earth-38.

Candice is the worst. Literally gave him drugs in the hall.

NO! Jon making a stupid choice. Candice is a horrible influence on him. I want Tegan back!

Jonathan, it's time to leave you’re drug dealer girlfriend. Not only will she get you invariable but the way she is pushing shows she cares more about him as a customer than a boyfriend.

Are we seeing the start of the Superman secret causing breaks in Jordan and Sarah’s relationship? Poor guy just spent the whole night worrying about his dad being arrested, and he can’t even talk about it. And then Sarah tells him he can’t relate.

Literally torturing people in front of Superman. Even Lex Luthor would be impressed by this level of evil.

Why is Jonathan protecting his drug dealer girlfriend who’s basically treating him like a customer then a boyfriend? Jon is fast turning into PhoeME from Charmed. WTF happened to him. I HATE Candice.

Anderson went AWOL and there’s a warrant out for his arrest. EXCELLENT.

Clark is gonna whoop Jon's ass. He deserves it BIGTIME!

Brotherly love.

Long day" Lois: You won't believe what Jon did when you were gone. GET HIM CLARK!

Well, it was a quick fall for Anderson.

That was the most touching little moment between Lois and Clark.

YES CLARK!

YES LANA, GO AFTER HIM!!

missed Nat and Steele this ep. They have been MIA for episodes.

Anderson, I hope Bizarro comes back and kills you.

Anderson and Ally teaming up. This is BAD.

And now we have a break.

Clark just reminded what it was like to be genuinely afraid when "Dad gets home" and found out the crap I pulled. That was the scariest Clark has ever been. He's furious. More than when he was locked in a prison cell or shot with green K.

"We're gonna have a long talk about all the things I thought you already knew." Not just you're Dad saying that to you, Superman is disappointed in you.

RIP Jonathan Kent. He's officially turned into PhoeME from Charmed. What is up with characters suddenly dating someone and killing the heart of the family. He'll redeem himself, once he dumps that Candice. WAKE UP Jon, Candice is using you. 

Didn't expect Bizarro to go out like that. So glad Tal is back and alive but it sucks we've lost Bizarro already, I thought they'd do more with him.

Anderson's gone full supervillain. 

So Anderson and Ally are working together.

GRADE: B+

I really didn't think Bizarro would go out like that.

As much as I wanted a resolution for the Jon XK storyline, that story doesn’t seem to be done yet.

I think Jon wanting to be the next starting QB has a deep meaning. It’s more about him feeling left behind by Clark and Jordan. He wants his Dad to understand that that was the motive, but he doesn’t know how to tell them. I’m willing to wait for that because this seems like it’s gonna boil over in the coming episodes at some point. I hope Jon can come back around from this. And yes, move on from Candice. She's a bad influence on him.

Anderson and Ally, that is screaming a recipe for trouble.

Grade: B+

[DC Fanatic]

Lots of surprises. So Anderson and Ally have something planned.

Lana telling Dean off was great!

Killing Bizarro REALLY shocked me. WOW! Did they seriously kill Bizarro? I know we'll likely get more Bizarro world stuff but they killed him after 4 episodes? A shock.

Jon's girlfriend Candice has to be dumped. Jon, let her go.

Also, the fact that John and Natalie have basically been erased from the show feels very odd and off. They have been gone in like four episodes.

Really nice Tal-Rho moments this episode. I think redemption might be in the cards for him if things continue this way as they are at the moment. But he just might redeem himself by dying to save Clark or his nephews. The actor isn't a regular no more, so it won't surprise me, if he does get killed off at the end of S2.

So Anderson finally went rogue.  I got the impression that Sam had convinced that general to shut Anderson down, and that it what pushed him over the edge.  Now a fugitive, Anderson looks like he's gonna hook up with Ally. 

Nice to see Tal-Rho back again.  And he took a bullet for Clark, I did not see that coming.   Still, it did convince Clark that perhaps there is hope for his brother after all.

Loved Lana's takedown of the slimy Mayor.   She was right to call him out on using her family' problems to help his campaign, that was hitting way below the belt. 

Jonathan, you are an idiot.  Risking everything to protect your drug dealing girlfriend.  Seriously, dude, do you really think she care about you?  That she would not throw you under the bus if the situations were reversed.    Loved the lecture that Clark gave you, and I hope it sinks in. 

[Squad 51]

My site was quick again.

Good brotherly moments, even in a cell. Tal-Rho knows his way out and helping Superman too. Nice when the whole family meet. Strange situation and Anderson still manages to find them, because he's also taking the drugs. Too bad he killed Bizarro and now teams up with Ally. Not good.

Jonathan, oh Jonathan. First in trouble with his brother, and now with the whole family. Lois is shocked to find this out and Clark even more, after he finally comes home. They are really disappointed in their son. Let this girl go!

And Lana. Yay! Helping her family, Lois and also reminding anyone of the family values in Smallville. The mayor won't have a chance.

And now a break again!

Another great episode. Something I noticed was Tal-Rho really wanting to know who he was married to in the bizarro world, safe to assume it was Lana? Since Bizarro said "she tried to kill me" in relation to his wife and we see Lana/Superwoman fighting him in the previous episode.

[Tim]

Could be.

I did notice this in the episode. A photo in the flashback was shown when we saw Bizarro Superman. It might be his family. Jordan, Jonathan, and Lois were all pictured alongside Bizarro Superman in the photo. however, both Lois and Jonathan had Xs drawn over their faces, which is interesting. Are they dead, or did they betray Bizarro. Maybe both were casualties of Bizarro’s conflict with Ally, and that Jordan still lives. 

[Tim]

Wanna bet that, if the situations were reversed, Jonathan's "girlfriend" would throw him under the bus and not have a second thought. 

Why is he protecting her??
