Superman & Lois: Season 3 Episode 2: Uncontrollable Forces: Review

Superman & Lois' second episode reveals more plot information, while giving us the most emotional moments in the series so far.

Clark and Lois' story line involving them encountering the judge that let Atom Smasher go free was great. I loved how it teased how much power Bruno has in Metropolis, and who he has on his payroll. I really hope to see more of this in future episodes.

George Dean getting killed was something I totally saw coming. I really thought that he was in cahoots with Lex Luthor, but I'm very intrigued with the fact that he was somehow involved with Bruno. I am wondering if Bruno was either paying George money to either let him get access to X-Kryptonite, or if Dean wanted Bruno to help him cure one of his relatives who had cancer? I am very curious to see all of this unfold.

John Henry Irons and Lana trying to figure out what Dean was hiding was a neat dynamic. I was shocked when Onomatopoeia attacked them, and stole a hard drive that they found. I really want to know what was on that hard drive, and why Onomatopoeia and Bruno wanted it so badly. I know that John and Lana are together in the comics, so I am quite certain that they will have plenty of scenes together in future episodes.

Superman's scenes with Bruno Manheim were amazing. I love Bruno's motivation, and how he is trying to help the poor people of Metropolis. Bruno also mentioned that he has a disdain for Lex Luthor, so I am very curious as to what will happen when Lex Luthor and Bruno encounter each other. I really thought that these two would be working together, so I am very glad to be proven wrong, because it is not predictable, and it raises more questions.

Lois revealing to Clark, Jonathan, and Jordan that she has cancer was something I, and a lot of other people, saw coming. Elizabeth Tulloch knocked it out of the park with her performance, and it was very emotional. Tyler Hoechlin acted his butt off as well. I am very curious to see how Sarah, John Henry Irons, Lana, Kyle, Natalie, and Chrissy react to it as well.

The only part of this episode that I was not too fond of, was the story line between Jordan, Jonathan, Sarah, and Natalie. While I loved the chemistry between Jordan and Sarah, and I was really glad that she stood up for him, Jonathan's story line felt boring, and it feels like he is going to caught in a love triangle, which I quite frankly do not want to see.  I also just really hope that Jordan and Sarah reconcile. Otherwise what was the point of the first season? Plus they are so cute together.I read an interesting theory about that boy that Natalie really liked. The theory that he is Bruno's son makes a whole lot of sense. There was a line said by Sarah that mentioned Romeo and Juliet, and I really hope that wasn't just a coincidence!

Onomatopoeia telling Bruno that John Henry Irons is alive raises a few questions for me. Why did Bruno kill the John Henry Irons from this Earth, and what kind of illegal business was John Henry Irons supposedly involved in? 

Man, I love this show!

Out of a 10 I would give it...
