I normally try to stay positive here, but this was one of the worst of the season in my opinion. Part of it had to do with the fact that I waited so long for this, and was really let down. After seeing the "Luthor" episode with the return of Lionel, this had BIG shoes to fill, but didn't come close in my opinion. For starters, this episode took WAY too many ideas from the pages of the Matrix. I liked the initial concept of the episode at first, until Chloe's avatar came into play. Then, I started to really feel disappointed because of the whole Matrix vibe.
And one more rant: Where is Darkseid in all of this? Not even a simple mention or a "Hey, I'm still here....carry on." The VRA is stealing the title of this season's "Big Bad," when all this time I was under the impression that it was Darkseid's "hour of power." Now, you could say that ultimately the VRA is part of Darkseid's devious plan, but I'm not going to let it go that easy. I want to see more teasing like we did in the season premiere, something that says "I'm just getting warmed up."
Again, just my opinion. I know some of you enjoyed it and ultimately, we got the plot rolling again, so I can't complain too much more.
In light of all of this, I am glad to hear/see that Chloe is back. I really do miss her character in the show. She's been there since Day 1, and am happy to see her back to hopefully finish a majority of what's left.
On another positive note, did you see the preview for next week?!?! Lex is starting to grow up, and now that Daddy Lionel is back....
LET THE AWESOMENESS BEGIN! Ain't no party like a Luthor party!!
