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

In the comic books Conner doesn't get introduced until Clark is Superman and in fact Superman doesn't like him much at first and is very wary. There are scenes where Superboy is all like when can I meet Superman and Superman is avoiding him. Because to have a genetic offspring with your enemy when you and your wife can't conceive is pretty f-ed up

Now see, that comic book introduction? Makes so much more sense then what SV did. Its just the wrong storyline at the wrong time, I think.

Here's the thing, whether one believes Conner was going to rape Lois, or not, he was clearly menacing, creepy and his intentions did have a sexual vibe to them. Which makes them really, really not OK. Which makes the whole "Oh, no big deal" at the end a major WTF?

I don't know why they had Lois throw in that line about kids. We never even got any indication from Lois that she wanted kids, or had thought about it. Its really too big a conversation to be treated as a throwaway line at the end of an episode.

They never explained why AU Lionel named his Clark "Clark". Just because....a Wizard Did It! Its another one of those SV Logic kind of things.

I agree it was all a bit WTF and I think my enjoyment of SV comes from nostalgia and emotional attachment to a show I've been watching for nearly a decade rather than the quality of the writing/stories. When I look objectively I could easily write a book on everything they've done that's been illogical or inconsistent.

Hey Val! :D

I thought about trying to find out how to spell Conner's name correctly, then I thought to myself "why do I care?" LOL Why should I put more thought into the character then TPTB do

Yeah, I guess in the end, it really doesn't matter what becomes of Conner. He was ultimately just another character that DC got live action exposure out of and that went to take more focus off of Clark anyway. I'm convinced that DC has been running this show since Season 8 and Souders/Peterson have just been following orders except when it comes to the romantic relationships aspect

I think the reason S10 will go down as one of the worst seasons for me is because its a gigantic disappointment. And the final season of a show is NOT the time to suck. Yeah, maybe S6, S7 & S8 were worse, but they weren't the last, which meant there was always time to come back from those. But this is it. And this is what they deliver? I'm constantly amazed at how inept they are.

Like you, if I hadn't seen Harvest and Ambush, I don't know that I'd assume that Clark and Lois were having sex. Because they never, ever give of that "Oh, I can't wait to get you alone..." vibe. Ever.

Average ST:

Clark- 21m, 16s
Lois- 16m, 29s
Tess- 10m, 7s
Oliver- 10m, 17s

Yeah.... no excuse for the lateness, except I'm just lazy.

While I like Tess getting double digits 2 eps in a row, I hate Lois getting so close to 300. As I've said before, no one, not even my Chloe, should hit that mark except for Clark.

No excuses necessary. I'm just glad you still do the averages :)

I pretty much knew going into this season, and after last, that Lois was going to have a very high screentime. With such a small cast, it was pretty much inevitable.
