Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 8
S03E8 - Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
Directed by:
Gregory Smith
Written By:
Aaron Helbing
The IMDB & Apple TV Recap is: In the wake of learning that Bruno and Peia are married, Clark works to reignite Lois' interest in taking Bruno down; Natalie meets Matteo's parents for the first time, with disastrous consequences; Jordan interferes with Jonathan's training.
Henry's notes:
This episode felt the most like a Superman comic with, a quote from Bamsmackpow “Superman & Lois begins to coalesce its multiple season plots in this episode in a fantastic, organic way, while setting the stage for a classic villain.”
Superman stuff
- Cute that Clark took Chrissy flying
- Damn Peia is fucking scary
- BIZARRO IS AWAKE!
Manheim investigation and Family
- It’s always funny when I see Clark doing human things like texting.
- Are Matteo and Sarah serious? Like already meeting the parents?
- Interesting twist of Lois defending Bruno. “It reads like gossip to me”
- It’s funny that Lois did a masterclass
- “He’s the leader of Intergang and the biggest weapons dealer in the country.” Wow. He’s kinda like the toastmaster guy in Man of Steel plus Manheim.
- Lois is done. Wow.
- Lex Luthor Killed Boss Moxie - father of Bruno, leader of Intergang. Superboy Prime killed him in Infinite Crisis 7
- Whoa, Peia’s powers fluctuate when she’s having a reaction
- “Flying is awesome”
- Lois is back after seeing some evidence.
- I love the slow burn of getting Luthor back in
- Little Aces is basically a known mobster hang out
- Oh my god, they pulled guns out with the kids there! Finally we get to see Bruno as a BAD GUY.
- Onomatopoeia imitated Lex’s voice.
- Does Manheim have super strength?
- “I think we put Lex Luthor in prison for a crime he didn’t commit” - WHOA
Cancer stuff
- Oof, Lois is weak. This is a tough watch. Clark had to turn the downstairs office into a bedroom. This is a very real portrayal of what goes on with chemo
Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry
- Jordan busting Jonathan’s balls about being a trainee. Cute. The Rookie hazing stuff is weird on the FD, like aren’t firefighters hard to come by?
- Ooh Jordan got Jonathan in trouble
- Hahahaha Jordan is listening to The Cure!!!!! “Pretty dark for my mom, who is she?!”
- John Henry and his “sister” - starting to make a connection.
- Oh boy, John Henry going nuclear. But he’s kinda right. The phone was a bit much though.
Lana/Sarah/Kyle/Chrissy
- Girls night out Lana/sarah - I love how Lana’s 90’s music taste is a running bit. THE CURE! CD MIX! LOL
- Did Sarah get a new haircut/color?
- “I wasn’t using the super stuff and I could hear your heartbeat” - Clark
- Omg is Lana going to go with Sam Lane to the concert?
- Way off on this one. I really thought she was going to take Chrissy and then Sam
- If they were just going to have a dance party at home, why not go to the concert?
