Scion Screentime Minutes, and Thoughts

[jeannev]

 I'm really starting to wonder if I'm judging SV eps based on their content, or if I'm judging them based on a curve against the rest of the season.  Because taken alone, and just judging it for what it was, I think I wouldn't be overly find of Scion.  But judging it against the rest of the season, and some of the horrible stuff we've gotten, I

I just do not understand the point of bringing on this character, at this point in the season.
I like to think that the decision of MR coming back was made much sooner than it was announced and the decision to change the course of the clone was a result of it. Like, they had one Plan A (which involved getting MR) and Plan B (which didn't involve him).

How the hell was Lionel tracking Conner since he ran away from the Kent farm? How does one track someone going superspeed?
Lionel said there was a tracker in the ring. It might not be able to keep up with him while he was speeding but he would definitely register whenever he stopped.

That's pretty much how I feel with this character...they probably would have made him THE Lex if MR didn't agree to return..but he did so they had to do something.

The problem is that Lionel said they were tracking Conner before they gave him the ring. When he encounters him at the mansion. So, I was all, "how the hell was that possible?"

It was SV Logic! LOL

I think you might be right about Plan A, and Plan B, but thats a helluva way to write a final season!

Lionel said they were tracking Conner before they gave him the ring.
Did he? Hmmm. Then I have to go with you on the SV Logic option then. Or how about a wizard did it? That's my favorite explanation.

but thats a helluva way to write a final season!
I expect nothing less (or more to be honest) when it comes to the SV writers and their thought processes.

When in doubt? A Wizard did it! Its always the fallback SV explanation.

Or, you can go with "Its Kryptonian technology". I find that works a lot as well. ;)
