This episode really upset me for a few reasons. Clark sees his son trying to help (holding the wrench) and basically shows him he’s useless, for one thing. Lois says she and Jonathan are in the same boat, but I’ve never seen Clark actively show Lois how useless she is when trying to help him. She always has something to do, and Jonathan doesn’t even have football anymore.

I’ve found an article praising this show for sending its characters to counseling, and I couldn’t believe it. Who got the counseling session, here? The CHILD that watched his dad kill his mom on live TV, came within a single second of dying because he had no way to tell his superhero father he was in danger because THEY DIDN’T GIVE HIM ONE EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE ELSE IN THE FAMILY INCLUDING GENERAL LANE HAS ONE, and then got blasted by his mom in an unfair, unjust tirade? No. It was Lois. And at no time did we think, hey let’s give this kid at least a one-off session, too? Ok. Makes perfect sense.
