May 14, 2011 8:40 pm Overall this was a great finale. The did exactly what they set out to do. I could have used a little more of the "red blue and yellow" but thats just me being nitpicky. Also liked how they put the yellow "S" on the cape. BTW, For my money, Erica Durance plays the best Lois. She doesn't get enough credit. It was so great to hear that Williams score at the end. I absolutely love that theme. Bless my wife for allowing me to use it as our entrance music at our wedding reception!
The wait till "The Man of Steel" comes out next year will feel like an eternity. Adios Smallville, 10 years well spent!
April 29, 2011 10:49 pm I remember reading that whenever Thor was out and about camping/adventuring and whatnot, if he ever got hungry and didn't have any food. He could slaughter his goats and eat them. The next morning all he had to do was wave Mjolnir over the bones and the goats would spring back to life good as new. He did however have to make sure that he didn't break any of the bones while he was chowing down or else the goat would come back lame. I think in one story Loki (I believe) snapped a leg bone to get at the marrow and messed up the goat.

The panel is political in nature (as was the not so subtle but appropriate dig at FOX News). Posting it and not expecting any political commentary is like chumming the water, going for a swim and being surprised that you got bit in the keister by a shark. No disrespect but c'mon. This has actually been a great thread to read so far. Some great points on both sides.
I always thought of Superman not just being American but a personification of the "state" of America. He sort of reflects what America is like at any given moment. From the protector of the little guy in his inception to flag waving/wearing patriot during WWII and most recently, just after 9-11. Now he seems to be reflecting the self loathing naval gazing some of us are projecting as a society. Hopefully it's just a phase (for all parties considered). IMHO, Superman is American. His Ma and Pa were/are American and he seems to think the world of them and their values, thats good enough for me.
What'll they think of next? Superman will grow a soul patch, start wearing a "Che" shirt, smoke clove cigarettes and change his address from the fortress of solitude to a coffee house that holds a bi-weekly poetry slam. That would make Hannity burst a blood vessel!
