Haha I'm not complaining! I'm glad my random thoughts spoke out to you. And I agree - I just looked back at my review of 'Dominion' out of curiosity and it seemed that I believed it was a waste of time then too. There really was no need to bring back Zod at all, much less that late in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to squeeze in all the references they could before it was over.

Agreed. Same with all the Clark Luthor/Tess stuff. The Zatanna episode made me actively dislike her, with the way she used magic on him. That was gross and unnecessary.

There's definitely some of these episodes that I would like to hear Tom Welling's thoughts on, once they get there. No judgment on the rewatching! But you're right about it not always holding up - some things definitely didn't age well.
