i stopped in season 5. but Friday the wife and I watched the latest episode. Man, nothing has changed with that damn show. I bet they still use amnesia as a plot device like it's going out of style too. Ugh. The last episode I remember watching and actually liking was the one where Lana dies, then he goes back in time and instead his Dad dies. I clapped. I hated his dad.
I really liked the guy they had to play his dad. And they've stopped with the amnesia thing for the time being.
Have they showed Darkseid or Doomsday?
They've had both of them. And they both just kind of "fizzled" out of the picture. Darkseid was dumb, but Doomsday had some real potential.
He's The Blur. He has a red suit and he's got the S. He works at the Daily Planet with Lois, and she knows who he is. It seems to be more of a superhero show now, but you're definitely right about how it used to be. It was a monster of the week episode that furthered the superman mythos a fraction of a centimeter at a time. In Season 5 when I stopped watching he had learned how to fly and found his fortress of solitude. I don't know how far they've gone with it now.
The "suit" he wears right now is a pair of blue pants (they could be jeans) and a red leather jacket that has the "S" embroidered on it. He hasn't officially learned how to fly yet, unless he's around certain kinds of Kryponite. They're edging towards him being Superman now. In this last episode he met Booster Gold who gave him the tip to pick a name that was a little more "Super".
He won't don the name, the suit, or fly until the last episode, more than likely. This is because Tom Welling (Exec Producer and plays Clark Kent) is honoring the "No Flights, No Tights" rule that the original producers set up for the show because they didn't want to make it a show about Superman, as much as they wanted it to be about Clark Kent.
