So... who expected Davis to say, "The good of the many outweighs the good of the few. Or the one."

Is that show still on? Is it good again?

Yes. No. [Big Grin]

Every week I read the blurb on the TV guide to decide whether I'm going to bother watching it. Last week, for instance, looked like another one of those "do something, then undo it and forget it" episodes that doesn't advance the plot line at all, so I didn't bother.

When I do watch it, I often come away thinking (at best), "Well, that could have been a good episode."

I think it's doing at least as well as Heroes, but with both Lex and Lionel gone, it's lost most of its appeal to me.

I stopped watching before the two of them were gone, but their departure sealed the deal on me not returning, heh.

I've kept watching it off and on just because I want to see how they're going to wrap it up. But the wrap-up may be too far away - I've heard rumor that they're planning yet another season.

The last season I watched fully, and enjoyed, was the season where Clark was tracking down phantom zone creatures, Lionel had a significant role to play in the season, and Lex was building an army.

After that I became a very sporadic watcher.

If the writers follow the established plot line of the comic books (which is not guaranteed, of course--why should they start now?), then we know Doom has to be the continuing super arch, arch villain who opposes Superman to the very end.

***SPOILER WARNING*** (If anybody really cares)

Now we have to wonder just how Doom got mixed up in the same launch/space flight with Kal-El. Surely Jor-El didn't knowingly send out a pre-pubescent nemesis for his son. And if it is Doom who really destroyed Krypton, as I believe was hinted at some point, and he wanted to hitch a ride with Kal-El (in a container that looks exactly like one of those "eggs" that hatch face-huggers in the "Aliens" movies), why would he do so as a six-year old (or whatever age he was supposed to be)?

And how in the world did those Indians from 500 years ago know so much?

One other thing. Is Cloe now going to make the ultimate sacrifice, and sacrifice herself to "Davis" hoping she can restrain him from going after Clark for awhile? She does have this "Meteor Freak" ability to heal empathically. Maybe we will see her sprout spines in a future episode.

Wow. The term "damning with faint praise" comes to mind. [Smile]
