Awesome review, it is as good as the season premiere. I am really happy you gladly accepted to do the episode reviews for Season 9. Great job here! Looking forward to reading all of your reviews this season.

I’d like to add, I agree with what’s holding back Clark, it should be that Lana arc. And they should establish how he and Lois come together first before making him head over heels for her.

The scene with Chloe asking Clark to save Jimmy was my favorite one. It was very heartbreaking to see Chloe that way. I always thought Clark would do anything for her but I guess not anymore. One of the things I am looking forward to this season is how the Clark and Chloe friendship will get better or worse.. hopefully better because I will truly miss the Clark and Chloe dynamics.

Karen – Thanks so much as always. I appreciate the kind words and your steadfast support of DSS.

Pete – The soundtrack sage speaks! Thank you, sir. I’m worried about the slot as well, but I have to imagine that the network knew the ratings would drop somewhat. Hopefully they’re willing to give their flagship series a proper send-off regardless.

Sarah/Jobookjunkie – Well, it’s my first episode review, but not first review for anything. I write the occasional review for DVD Authority (which was actually used here for the site’s Season 8 Blu-Ray review). Thanks so much for the vote of confidence, it means a lot to me. And yeah, I was just a bit surprised to find how polished I found that scene the second time around, so I thought it worthy of mention.

Ryan – Thanks for liking the captions. It was a last-minute idea to make them all funny, and I can’t wait to continue doing it next week and beyond, it was definitely the most fun part of the entire thing (my personal favorites are the last two).

Nice review. I especially enjoyed your picture captions.

Also, I just want to say that this site looks marvelous. Love the top banner. You could teach KryptonSite a thing or nine.

Keep up the good work!

Dan, excellent review! First time you say? Wouldn’t have known it. I had to laugh at your comments about Jonathan’s watch keeping such good time a year in the future. What you said about the fight between Clark and the ninja lady made me go back and watch it again, and you’re right – it has a very cinematic feel to it. Season 8 felt like such a difference from the previous seven seasons, but somehow this season has taken a step sideways AND forwards – it feels bigger and grown-up, and I for one can’t wait to see what happens next.

I’m also looking forward to more reviews from you, sir

Daniel,

this was extremely well-written and you back up all of your opinions quite well. I am nervous about this new timeslot since I don’t believe the ratings are what they were last season. But this episode felt different…darker and more mythological. I can’t wait for Pandora to find our more about Lois and where she was. Great review and look forward to reading them the rest of the season.

Nicely written Dan!

I love reliving Savior in reviews, especially positive reviews. I loved this ep and all the things jammed packed into it.

Looking forward to Metallo, as well as your Metallo review!
