The Dress - “Bazoombas”

Sam and Henry talk a little about the end of the Arrowverse with Flash Season 9 coming to an end then dive right into a very emotionally intense episode. As usual some comic references along the way including a Jerry Siegel issue from 1941!

HENRY'S NOTES:

EPISODE 9: The Dress - “Bazoombas”

Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. 

Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 9

S03E9 - The Dress

Directed by:

Stephen Maier

Written By:

Kristi Korzec

The IMDB & Apple TV Recap is: 

Superman and John Henry clash over how to handle Bruno Mannheim; Lois worries over upcoming treatments and confides in Lana about her early courtship with Clark.

Superman stuff

• Superman is so compassionate. He knows what Maheim is going through
• Superman never breaks a promise.
• Superman/John Henry tension. Very good. 
• Superman fanfare when he busts in and saves John Henry from Henry Miller.
  • Really good score. Did you notice it?

Manheim Family

• Oooh John Henry taking point over Superman
• Peia’s at the DoD so Manheim needs them
• Well it answers your question about Matteo and are you crabby about it?
• Oh shit, Manheim’s bringing Matteo into it

Cancer stuff

• FLASHBACK TO LOIS AND CLARK ENGAGED AND AT THE PLANET!!!!!
• Really good to hear good news about the Cancer. 
• Oh my god these Flashbacks are killing me. 
• Superman is so good at everything he can even pick out a dress.
• Cal Ripkin Rookie card!
• Really real conversation happening on national television between Lois and Lana. Wow. 
• Awww Lois loves Clark. That smile. Wow. 
• BAZOOMBAS. Dead. 
• Good little talk with Clark and the boys. Brief but reassuring. 
• Aw, Lois didn’t win. I love that it was her idea to have the wedding at the farm. Do you notice that flashback-Clark has less of a five o’clock shadow. 
• “How fast can you get this dress off?” Clark should’ve said, “Faster than a speeding bullet”
• Dammit well Tyler made my cry. I think first time this season.
• “Do you want to cuddle? May just be cuddling for a while.”
• He’s not wearing glasses at home! Yay!
• Awww they’re gonna fly together just to fly. I’m crying.I love this show so much, how dare they even think of canceling it. 
• “I love you Clark. More than ever.”

Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry/Lana/Sarah/Kyle/Chrissy

• It’s not a big deal that there’s a superhero in town. Again, it literally happened in this series where Superman saved people from a fire. 
• Of course the twins are keeping a secret from their parents
• Haha a night stick that would kill a rhino
• It seems kinda vague that good lawyers keep Manheim from an attempted murder charge. Unless we didn't see an arrest and then him getting out. 
• Does Jonathan like 
• John Henry referred to his sister as “his sister”
• Matteo heard rumors of his dad. HAHA “I love you” HAHAHA
• Lana being a good friend is some good shit. More of that. She did that scene with Clark really well. 
• Sarah and twins are kinda weird just watching Nat constantly. 
• Hug it out.
• Why does John Henry only have a Nightwing stick
• Ok there’s literally a supervillain fight in downtown Smallville, a super being save ppl from a fire doesn’t matter!
• Home Run John! Ohhhhh shit, John Henry killed Atom Man
