I think I'm over Red K too, because I think the writers forgot how to write it.
Still, Tom remembers how to play it, so there's that.
But honestly, here in this episode, it just seemed like it was utilized for some pretty lame reasons.
And wouldn't it have been almost refreshing if it weren't the case? To go a different way and have this Zod ultimately prove Clark right.
YES! It sure would've been. And I think it would've made for a great storyline. The Zod we have now is a Zod that can still be saved. And how amazing would it have been to have Clark be the one to save him. Of course, I still wouldn't expect him to survive, but it would've been so wonderful to have Clark's belief in someone rewarded with success. Because honestly, if Clark is constantly taking an approach that is doomed to failure, how does that instill faith in us that he'll be a great Superman? I think we need a bit more then a tender heart, and good intentions. And if they keep undercutting Clark by propping up other characters at his expense....characters who are working in opposition to Clark's beliefs, and goals? Then what kind of message does that ultimately send?

True, true. He did do a marvelous job this ep.
God, Val, I just don't even know where to begin on the wasted opportunity that was this Zod storyline. Right up until this ep even, till the last scene, I saw hope. And then of course, we got--::that:: ::sighs::
//Then what kind of message does that ultimately send?//
What we've known for a while now, sadly, that TPTB just don't give a damn when it comes to Clark.
