EPISODE 7 - A Regular Guy - “You’d Be Surprised What A Pair Of Glasses Will Do”

Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. 

Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 7 - A Regular Guy

Directed by:

Gregory Smith

Written By:

Katie Aldrin

George Kitson

The Apple TV and Imdb description is: 

After some concerning interactions in town, Clark is determined to protect the secret that he's Superman - a task complicated by Jonathan and Jordan; Lois considers the future of the Gazette after Chrissy proposes something drastic.

HENRY'S NOTES:

• FLASHBACK TO FIRST APPEARANCE ACTION #1!!!
• 2 Shirt rips!
• I am here once again, saying that I don’t care about Kyle and Christy and this a waste of screentime.
• This is weird watching Clark pretend to be hurt. I don’t like it. It’s awkward.
• Jimmy! And his sister? I like that Jimmy asked to be “pals” of course. And great reference to the “Daily Star.” But he called him “CK”
• Haha, “Timmy.” Where did this guy come from? Is he from last season?
  • “You’ve ruined my life kent” - really? I thought he gets to be QB because Jon isn’t doing it.
•  I dunno, why is selling her share of the Gazette so dramatic. Seems pretty practical to me. 
• Haha Clark actually bunted. This show has everything. Clark Kent playing baseball with Jimmy Olson. It’s all I ever wanted and I’m so sad it’s over. 
• Timmy Ryan is the dumbest name
• “Candice knows” - “YOU TOLD YOUR GIRLFRIEND!” lol
• “Cut your dad some slack”
• “We need the bunt king” - What do we think of this Jimmy? 
• So Jimmy figured out the secret. Ok fine. So what do we think about in this universe Clark is just either very bad at keeping the secret OR everyone is not dumb
• Nice of Clark and Lois to buy Chrissy out and IDC
• “Did I get knocked up by the town bully?”
• Nice of Kyle to raise a toast to the Kents etc but he didn’t actually apologize to Clark
• I like the mirroring of the last time Candice’s dad got fucked up in the diner by Clark.
• Very interesting way for Superman to reveal himself to the world. I don’t know how I feel about it
  • “When Emmet fired the bullet it made me think maybe this is doing more harm than good. …It has to be a family decision.”
• “You’ve fought aliens and stopped world’s from merging” - Crisis?
• “I’m just a regular guy”
• The Daily Planet won the “Metro Cup” and “Last one at Bibbowski’s picks up the tab”
• Jimmy: “I missed you too pal”
• This was a very well done episode with a plot that I don’t like
