It's hard to believe we're already to Barbarians at the Planet, the first in a two-part, angst-filled, drama-ridden, window-shattering showdown, with an ending so WHAMmy, it's a wonder anyone wanted to come back for the next episode. (We jest... we totally wanted more!)

Lex Luthor, intent on securing Lois, sets off to destroy everything that matters to her. Meanwhile, Clark decides it's time to tell Lois that he loves her -- but it just so happens Lois is ready to tell Superman that she loves only him! Lex also gets his hands on Kryptonite for the first time. With the Daily Planet destroyed and everyone scattered, can things EVER go back to normal?

Join us as we discuss befuddling plot divots, ponder what Lois was ordering on that endless phone call, squee over the cuteness that is Martha and Jonathan (always), and share in our mutual relief over the fact that Lois somehow managed to rescue her hardy little desk plant. #GrantThePlant

Today we're talking Season 1, Episode 19: Fly Hard, an episode that builds a strong case against going into work on the weekend.

When a gang of baddies raids the Daily Planet in search of a Prohibition-Era treasure, the DP crew (and Lex) are taken prisoner. References to Die Hard abound as Clark struggles to save all his friends (and Lex) from harm. Meanwhile, Lois insists on playing the Chaotic card, while Lex just does whatever the hell he wants (classic Lex!) Some people try to be heroes (good effort, Jimmy!), some just make things worse (LEX), and -- in the end -- an unlikely hero emerges. (Her name? Elvira.)

Join us as we discuss this action-packed, adorably flawed episode!

Our Special Feature this week is: Cat Grant in the comics!

We're talking S1E18, Vatman, and once again, Lex is up to no good. He's created a clone of Superman and is raising him to kill the real Superman. Spoiler alert: He succeeds, and we're stuck with Supes #2 for the rest of the series. :(

Of course we're kidding. That would be terrible. Which is to say, the clone is terrible. Please, showrunners... promise us -- no more clones? Ever?

Anywayyy, join us for some split-screen shenanigans and wacky doings, including but not limited to: Lex giving Supes2 a piggyback ride! Clark walking on the ceiling! Lois throwing pasta! Perry jumping off a bridge! And Jimmy, dear Jimmy, losing his mind!
