True, I think that they just wanted a reason to reveal that Oliver was marked more than anything else, but there could've been better ways to achieve that. We definitely didn't need to see Zod again. I agree Clark not telling Lois, especially at that point of their relationship (it is different than him not telling her that he was planning to go at the end of s9) was sketchy but after all that Clana theatrics with the secrets and lies, I did prefer the approach where they talked about it and he admitted he has to do better and moved on. They should've had a better reason for her calling off the wedding though (or not did it at all!). Good point about the timing! I feel like they should've shaved off a week or something - Prophecy taking place in a day doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I liked the friendship and how Clark's trusting nature worked out for him, but I thought her feelings for him was unnecessary. I imagine Clark felt guilty about how he acted before he got switched but he could've waited. I still think it would've been better to have 'Luthor' be a two part episode and get rid of 'Kent'. Zatanna's whole plot definitely didn't make sense and her weird attempts at seduction of Clark was gross. And Lois kissing Jeff was super cringey and awkward. You're right about the episode being problematic overall.

I do like Lois's battle with the phone cord, tho!
Same! It was cute and I love how fond/amused Clark was about it.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised if he was ready for the show to end by the well, end, but I do think his peak 'phoning it in' was in s7 and I didn't quite get those same vibes in s10. That is cool that the other pod responded to your email! You are immortalized through podcasts! :D
