![]() I can’t wait to see what nefarious plans Brainiac has for Jor-El…or notĪ big problem with Krypton-Season 1 was the sets. I do like the development of Rasmus Hardiker’s Kem and the series tries to demonstrate that Shaun Sipos’s Adam Strange is becoming a true hero in his own standing. Colin Salmon continues to be menacing as Zod, but the character needs more direction. I like Wallis Day this season with Nyssa finally getting more of a storyline, but in giving Nyssa a bigger story, Ann Ogbomo and Aaron Pierre really don’t have much to do. ![]() Cameron Cuffe is more likable and a bit more defined. The cast also feels more comfortable this season. It keeps the season moving in the sense you look forward to the episodes where these characters appear, and they break up the monotony of the Seg-Nyssa-Lyta-General Zod-Jayna-Dev storyline that has been brewing since Season 1. In addition to Lobo, Brainiac returns as one of the villains, and you get an impressive looking Doomsday (who I prefer to the Doomsday of Batman v Superman). I’ve never been that big of Lobo fan, but it was something different for a series that mostly had characters running through tunnels and having bad soap-opera romances. The addition of superheroes does add a slight spark to the series. Zod takes the weapon to the outlands for field testing, following earlier reports to the cave where Doomsday is hidden.Thanagar!!! I can’t wait! Omega Men…yes!!! Crap… Zod’s technicians believe they were able to access enough of the codex’s information to power a new weapon that Zod had commissioned. Seg doesn’t trust Brainiac, but knows that this is the only possible way to ensure the safety of those he cares about. There, he will give Seg the tools he needs to defeat Zod. Brainiac tells Seg to go to Brainiac’s ship. Seg is forced to trust Brainiac to make the repairs, allowing him, Nyssa, and Cor to arrive out the outpost safely. The shots Zod fired at the skimmer cause it to malfunction over the outlands. Nyssa opts instead to take Cor and leap from the balcony… into Seg’s awaiting skimmer. He offers Nyssa a chance to work for him to end the rebellion, promising her a colony to govern once Krypton begins conquering new worlds. Once she has been given Cor, Nyssa unlocks the codex, which Val has deactivated so that it can not be weaponized. Any attempt to open the codex by anyone else will destroy it. She has locked the codex and it can only be accessed with her voice. The group forms a plan to save Cor from Zod. The crew intercepts Nyssa upon her arrival on Kandor, where she is to be killed by the Sagitari and the codex taken to Zod. There is no way that Seg can defeat Zod without Brainiac’s help. The only way they’ll survive, he and Seg, is to move forward rationally. Brainiac is disgusted by the show of emotion. Seg, Jayna, and Dev feel Lyta’s death deeply. Seeing there is no peaceful path forward with Zod, Val detonates the bombs, destroying the space elevator station. The rest of the rebels, however, will be killed for treason. ![]() In doing so, Val will be allowed to rejoin the Science Guild under Zod and work for him. She gives Val the detonator and a choice - blow the station, killing a few innocents and saving the rebellion, or save the station, allowing Zod’s forces to wipe out the rebellion. Jax escapes with a cache of gravity bombs that she rigs to destroy the space elevator station. She has tried to keep Val from having to make the tough decisions and from getting blood on his hands, but no more. Jax insists that she has no problem being seen as a monster because she is willing to do what’s necessary when others won’t.
