daibhidcAnother returning guest star!
Did Callum Blue always look that much like Terrance Stamp's Zod, or is it just the goatee? Anyway, the idea that he's now both Zods, the one he played before and the one who possessed Lex, is interesting (if very confusing).
The Zod-ruled Phantom Zone, centred on the arena where a powerless Clark is forced to fight gladitorial battles, reminded me more of Mongul's Warworld than anything else.
Wouldn't it have made sense for Oliver to take a bow and arrows with him? Anyway, it turns out his being marked by Darkseid isn't being completely ignored, as I suspected when he and Chloe got written out a couple of weeks ago. This encourages Zod to think he can turn him, when in fact, it's all part of Clark's Batman Gambit.
I have never figured out how the comics-style "Phantom Zone is an extradimensional place" is supposed to connect to the movie-style "Phantom Zone is being stuck in a 2D frame", so Zod's final(?) fate baffled me completely.
And Orion gets namechecked as the last person to defeat Darkseid, marking the first mention of the good New Gods in Smallville.
