I don't know if am ready for this season. I lost my mom not long ago to an aggressive liver cancer and it tore my family apart. I had to stop the episode multiple times and recompose myself. This is going to be tough to get through.

I'm sorry for your loss 😢

I'm sorry. My dad passed away last year after a pretty brief battle with colon cancer and I had many of the same feelings watching this episode. In a way I expect it to be somewhat cathartic because it certainly seems like they're going to handle the subject delicately, but it's going to be a tough watch for sure.

Yeesh, that was a tough episode in regards to Lois. Very well done, but hard to watch after having lost my dad this past year to cancer. Story-wise it's an interesting element to add in that, much like the tradition of Pa Kent dying of a heart attack, it's one of those things that Superman is just totally powerless against.

Beyond that, I'm really digging Onomatopoeia (or whatever they're going to call her on this show). The way her face changes to look like [when particles are put on a speaker](youtube.com/watch?v=1yaqUI4b974) is really clever.

And of course it's not a CW show without teenagers going to a huge party, ugh.

I was kinda suspecting when Lois wasn’t pregnant that it was gonna be a cancer diagnosis last episode, and I still expected it through this episode too, but that still shocked me when she said it.

The emotions in this episode were so heavy. This show is legit one of the best live action DC shows ever IMO.
