Warrior: the writing in this was so bad. Obviously they were pushing some kind of meta point that probably won't be totally clear until like five episodes from now in retrospect, but they didn't even want to make the dialogue sound like something humans would say, even on SV.

Zee just kept yapping and yapping and WORDS WERE COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT TUNE HER OUT.

I did really dig the Chloe and Steven stuff, though. It was so lighthearted and fun, and I loved the sense of wonder he had about his powers and meeting heroes and saving people, while Chloe and Clark both said they thought it was a living and their normal humdrum everydays. I have missed that wide-eyed sense of innocence SV had in its yesteryears, so I found it really charming for a character to be like, DUDE, YOU GUYS LIKE HAVE YOUR OWN BATCAVE AND SAVE THE WORLD AND YOU'RE BORED BY THIS? HOW? All the heroes are so mopey, so him and Stargirl last week were welcome guest stars to advise everyone to lighten up a bit.

Okay. FIRST OF ALL: THE GIF, FOR THOSE WHO WANTED IT.

Not actual picspam here, mostly HQ caps of the comic book under the cut.

I will say, though, that I'm just not comfortable with these two worlds colliding:

NOOOOOOOO ISHIDA WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON SMALLVILLE YOU SHOULD NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS :(((((

IN WHICH WE LEARN THAT WARRIOR ANGEL IS, LIKE SMALLVILLE, ALL ABOUT THE PLOT:

Then, the comic book pages...

(note that both Lois and Chloe activate his superhearing this episode. I think that's the first random time for Lois ever like that?)

So Clark isn't Clark, and a perceived betrayal will make him go batshit crazy to reveal it.

Penelope in this comic is clearly drawn to make us think she's Chloe this time, even though she wasn't a blonde before.

Though this comic is apparently somewhat of an AU that existed outside real comic continuity as an untold story... So it doesn't count? ~~Much like SV~~

That said, I don't think it'll be Lois who tells him he's gone too far and stops him, with the way the story is set up right now. Especially since it was Chloe who set off Steven this episode by trying to get him to chill. So more muddying of the waters on Penelope meta.

AND IN CLOSING:
