Superman & Lois Episode 4 Review: Haywire

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This Superman & Lois review contains spoilers.

Superman and Lois Episode 4

One of the most tired arguments in comics is about whether or not Superman is too powerful to tell good stories with. The plethora of exceptional, meaningful, moving Superman stories out there should put that argument to bed for good, but if they haven’t, feel free to direct anyone making it to “Haywire,” the fourth episode of what’s shaping up to be one of the best Superman arcs ever.

To my mind, the key Superman conflict has nothing to do with his power level and everything to do with the fact that he can’t be everywhere at once. He is a man who wants to help everyone, but has to prioritize where he can be and how much time he can stay there, and those choices all have consequences. That’s basically the thesis statement of this episode: Clark is being pulled in a thousand different directions at once, with his father-in-law climbing on his back about not being seen enough in Metropolis; an Intergang prisoner transfer going down; Morgan Edge about to close the deal on a mine outside of Smallville and Lois trying to run headfirst into Edge; and the boys trying to navigate school and also one of their classmates developing super speed.

But the thing that makes this episode, and the show as a whole, such a good Superman story isn’t necessarily the content of the story. It’s the storytelling, too. Superman & Lois excels at showing and telling. It weaves the three storylines – Clark, Lois and the kids – in and out, contrasting points against each other by bouncing from scene to scene to heighten the point. There are two spots this week where this is really well done.

The first is about midway through the episode. Lois’ big Morgan Edge expose in the Gazette has been spiked by a lawsuit threat – turns out Lois, a star reporter at a major metropolitan newspaper, had a noncompete WHODATHUNK (note: see the mailbag for who indeed thunk). So she pushed it off on Clark, who, as a well known mediocrity, had no such legal conflict, and was planning to bring up the issue in the big town meeting where Smallville was voting on granting Edge’s Intercorp mining rights to the party spot from the first episode.

Meanwhile, the Department of Defense was moving a super-prisoner out of town because Superman’s lack of presence in town was making the authorities skittish about keeping him in town. And at the same time, Sam Lane was giving the kids a hard time about being too needy now that they know their dad was Superman, because the rest of the world needed him more. 

Of course, nothing works out right. Superman takes way too long on a wild goose chase, so Edge wins the town vote nearly unanimously, while the stuff with Jordan and Jon takes some time to blow up. 

The performances really carry this sequence over. Hoechlin’s Clark agonizes over missing the vote and practically begs Tulloch’s Lois to be mad at him, and their argument is so natural and honest feeling that it’s immediately relatable. 

Later, when the family finds out what Sam said to the kids, there’s an argument in the farmhouse that is also immediately recognizable and yet perfectly performed. Clark is pissed at Sam, but Superman’s anger is so often played as some world-ending threat, with glowing red eyes and menacing body language, yet here Hoechlin plays it completely straight – as an angry dad dealing with a shitty in-law. I’m sure we’re going to keep talking about this as the show goes along, but the amount of acting Hoechlin and Tulloch do with only their body language, and the way it conveys exactly who Superman and Lois are both alone and in relation to each other is a HUGE part of the mastery of this show. 

The only problem I have with the episode is how it’s all a path to Sam’s radicalization into creating Project 7734. This is pretty BS for a couple of reasons: first, there’s no way the shady-ass government doesn’t already have a similar contingency plan (or 6) for dealing with a rogue Superman; and second, I know the episode is all about what a terrible parent he is, but I really can’t wrap my head around turning on Superman because he’s spending too much time with your grandkids. Maybe that’s what makes Sam a villain, but it’s also what makes this Superman the best he’s been so far in an already great show.

Metropolis Mailbag

Thaddeus Killgrave is a weaselly little shit created in the 1980s as a weapons designer for Intergang. The Killgrave we see on screen bears little resemblance to his comics version, where he was almost childlike in his stature. Instead, this bearded, bedraggled, mouth-noise-making character actually looks a lot like his creator, John Byrne.

Superman’s call sign when he’s working with the Department of Defense is “Bishop 6.” So…uh…does Sam Lane work for Checkmate? Checkmate is one of the various super-clandestine services operating in the DC Universe (along with Task Force X/Suicide Squad, Spyral, Kobra, Argus, the D.E.O., and on and on and on). Checkmate was first seen in Action Comics in the late 1980s and has counted among its members any number of famous DC heroes, from Deathstroke to Alan Scott and Mr. Terrific.

We have confirmation here that Morgan Edge is running a company called “Intercorp.” The Inter- prefix usually has connotations with Intergang (which is also present in the show), a gang of thugs organized by Bruno Mannheim, usually working for Morgan Edge in some capacity, and all functioning as a subsidiary of Apokalips. Intergang was created by Jack Kirby when he first started on Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133, recently reprinted in a gorgeous absolute edition which is worth every single penny.

Calling the mines “Shuster Mines” is a nice touch, especially when they get bought out by a big company and filled with Superman’s only weakness. 

Speaking of callbacks to Grant Morrison’s run, Glenmorgan Square is likely named after Glen Glenmorgan, a minor throwaway villain from the very beginning of Morrison’s Action Comics. 

It’s not really an easter egg or anything, but I want it to be known that when Lois walked into the local paper’s office, I texted someone else watching and said “she definitely has a noncompete.” I’m glad the show also remembered this so I could be proven correct.

X-Kryptonite is a deeeeeep cut. Supergirl originally created X-Kryptonite as an antidote for green k. But she made it wrong, and it ended up being able to give anyone powers who was exposed to it. Including her otherwise normal Earth cat, Streaky. Yes this was 1960, why do you ask?

Tag’s emerging powers are a lot of vague references all in one. The super healing and the fast movement are pretty clearly emerging speedster powers, but he doesn’t have any other characteristics of Flashes. Besides getting his powers from a mysterious energy discharge hitting a bunch of weird chemicals. That said, Sam was probably talking out of his ass when he blamed phosphorus for Tag’s powers, considering they were partying on top of a pile of power-giving crystals when it happened. 

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Sam also says Tag is being sent to a “special school” for kids with powers, which…it’s weirdly early to be introducing Titans Academy to the TV shows, isn’t it? That new feature of the Infinite Frontier DCU is the only school for gifted youngsters I can think of that would fit the bill, but sound off in the comments if you know what he’s talking about! God I hope it’s not HIVE…

And I could likely go on with fake they/them Hitler's bio, but it's actually scary writing it, because I *know* so many people would completely overlook the 42 red flags I approximately put per sentence just because it uses woke wording. Even if I very obviously overdid it. And also it was scarily easy to write. That's how easy it is for the far-right and cops to infiltrate libfems circles now. Like ffs fellow leftists, what have we done to ourselves with this bs?

  Rush Limbaugh 🔥 The Grassley Memo Bombshells

Rush Limbaugh Combat the Drive-By Media at HoaxandChange.com

Rush USA Flag at HoaxAndChange.com

Feb 7, 2018

  RUSH: The Charles Grassley and Lindsey Graham memo. This is a memo, it’s a criminal referral asking for a criminal investigation in the State Department. What was the State Department doing in all of this? Not just the FBI. The State Department where Hillary Clinton once prowled the corridors. Because in testimony before his committee, Senator Grassley has been able to confirm that Christopher Steele lied to the FBI. And that’s what he wants.

He wants a trial, a criminal investigation of Steele, the author of the dossier, for lying to the FBI. They’re putting everybody in jail for that. They put Martha Stewart in jail for it, they put Scooter Libby in jail for it, and Charles Grassley is asking why are we not trying to put Christopher Steele in jail? He lied to the FBI. What about? He lied to the FBI about his contact with Michael Isikoff at Yahoo News.

The Grassley memo confirms the Nunes memo, that the FBI misled the FISA court to obtain a surveillance warrant on a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page, who has never met Trump. Did you know that? Carter Page told George Stephanopoulos on ABC News (paraphrasing), “I’ve never even met Trump. I wasn’t a close adviser! All I ever did was go to Moscow once. But I am not a Trump adviser. I’ve not told him a thing. I don’t know him. I’ve never met him.”

So Christopher Steele, he lied to the FBI about his contact with Yahoo News. The circular route of this is this. In its FISA warrant application, the FBI includes the Steele dossier, but they do not say that Steele was paid to write this dossier by Hillary. They do not include in their application the political nature of this dossier. They pass it off as legitimate intel, not as opposition research.

Now, we all knew that. But in addition to the FISA application containing the Steele dossier, they backed it up with a Yahoo News story! The Yahoo News story was written by Isikoff after talking to the author of the dossier! So we have a circular route here. Steele writes the dossier and then calls Isikoff, Yahoo News, and reports to him what’s in the dossier. Then Yahoo prints its story, the FBI gets that story and acts as though it’s independent confirmation of the dossier, when in fact it’s nothing more than Isikoff reprinting what Steele told him.

But Steele had lied to the FBI about his contact with Yahoo News. He did not tell them that he had advised or informed Isikoff at Yahoo News, and that’s why the FBI included the Isikoff story. They tried to pass it off as independent confirmation of the dossier. And this is all in the Grassley memo. It’s now been greatly redacted.

Now, why is this important? Kimberley Strassel of the Wall Street Journal is on a tear about this. She’s asking, why isn’t this Grassley memo front-page news? And the answer is because it confirms the Nunes memo and it blows up the Schiff talking points, which the media ran with. And Schiff is being further humiliated and embarrassed today, which we’ll get to in the next hour.

The Grassley memo is also confirmation that the FBI’s FISA application relied on the dossier and a news article and, worse, on the credibility of a source employed by the Clinton campaign! We have a court that has been bamboozled and fooled in a FISA application, and the Grassley memo confirms this, backs it up as it’s written in the Nunes memo. But the Grassley memo is proof that the FBI did not tell the court of the partisan provenance of the dossier, partisan origins.

Now, this is a big deal because all day yesterday the Drive-By Media, the great power source of the Democrat Party, the Drive-By Media was trying to say that the FBI did explain to the court that the dossier had political origins. And if you read what they published about it, you’re gonna get confused like a pretzel because it doesn’t say that.

What you get is a headline that says, “FBI did indeed include partisan nature of dossier.” Then you read the story, and you don’t find that anywhere. They did not. The FBI did not inform the FISA court that the Steele dossier was a political opposition research document. I don’t care what you heard yesterday in the news, it didn’t happen.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: So just to review, the Grassley memo confirms the Nunes memo and adds even more to it. This is a criminal referral at the State Department asking for there to be a criminal investigation of the author of the Steele dossier, Christopher Steele, for lying to the FBI, among many other things. People are in jail for lying to the FBI. Martha Stewart went to jail, Scooter Libby was gonna go to jail ’til Bush commuted the sentence, all for lying to the FBI. Christopher Steele lied to the FBI when he did not represent that he had talked to the media about the dossier and informed the media of the dossier.

This led to the FBI including a Yahoo News story about the dossier in the FISA warrant application. That was made to look like the news story was backing up the claims made by the dossier, when in fact Isikoff knew what was in the dossier ’cause Steele had called him and Steele lied to the FBI and said he had not talked to the media! So Grassley and Graham want a criminal referral into Steele lying. But that’s not even the half of it. This whole dossier thing… I cannot escape this. I think about this every time it comes up.

When I first learned what was in this, which is shortly before BuzzFeed published the damn thing, whenever that was. Sometime last summer. I had heard the scuttlebutt about a dossier, but nobody in the media would run with it because it was so odd, it was so salacious. And then I had heard, “Well, nothing in it’s been verified. They can’t prove it.” And then I heard, “Man, they can’t wait! They want to run it. They want to run it so bad.” Well, they needed two things, the media. They needed two things for this dossier to become a news item.

One of the things they needed was for Trump to be informed of it, which Comey took care of. Comey joined intel people and presented the dossier to Trump shortly after Trump had said he didn’t need a daily brief from the intel people ’cause he wasn’t stupid; he could remember things from day to day. Well, the intel community doesn’t like being aced out of power that way. They want to be able to meet with the president every day to tell him whatever they think they want him to know. So they took the dossier to Trump.

And they presented it to Trump as a bunch of BS but as an example the kind of stuff that’s out there that he needs to be aware of because even though it’s lying sack of you-know-what, it can still have impact on events around the world. And it was used as… Well, all that took was for Comey to present it and it became news. (impression) “Today, President Trump was informed of a dossier that accuses him of hiring prostitutes to urinate on a bed slept on by Barack Obama and the lovely and gracious Michelle (My Belle),” and that’s all it took.

After that happened, “What’s in it? What’s in it? Oh, my God!” BuzzFeed to the rescue publishes the whole damn thing on in their website full of disclaimers. “We can’t corroborate it! We can’t confirm it, we don’t know that one word of this is true, but you have a right to see it,” and we’re off to the races. When I first saw this, when I saw the golden showers story about hiring prostitutes to urinate on the bed, that’s all it took. I’m not bragging here, folks. I’m recounting history for you. I’m sharing with you the way my mind works.

The thing became totally bogus in my mind right then and there, and then I began asking, “How can anybody believe this? How can anybody…?” And then when I learned John Brennan, Obama’s CIA guy, said it was the foundation of their investigation, I was genuinely dumbfounded. Until I, you know, realized the CIA is a political weapon used by Obama. I said, “Okay, now it makes sense.” But this is bogus. There couldn’t be anything in this that is true. And then individuals named in the dossier came forward and blew to smithereens the allegations about them.

To this day, my friends, — to this day — not a single element of this has been verified, and yet look at its seminal, central relevance and importance in virtually everything happening here to try to get Trump. And it is a thousand percent bogus. We didn’t know any of this a year ago. We had to dig this stuff up ourselves. None of what we know about this has come from the mainstream media, and that is very important. None of this has come from the New York Times; they’ve tried to hush it up. None of it has come from CNN; they’ve tried to discredit it.

None has come from the Washington Post; they’ve ignored it. None of what we know has come from a curious press trying to speak truth to power, hold powerful people accountable. That has not been happening, other than their attempt to checkmate Donald Trump. So now the Grassley memo — and let me just briefly summarize with the aid of the brilliant Kimberley Strassel at the Wall Street Journal. “1) Why isn’t the … Grassley memo front page news?

“Here’s why: Because it confirms the Nunes memo and blows up the Schiff talking points (which the media ran with). 2) It is confirmation that the FBI’s FISA application relied on the dossier and [the Yahoo N]ews article, and worse, on the credibility of a source in the employ of the Clinton campaign.” That’s Sidney Blumenthal. “The Clinton campaign.” Hillary Clinton herself is behind this dossier. She is behind the origination of the dossier. But Barack Obama can’t be far behind, because all of this is done to shield and protect Obama.

Hillary Clinton was to be elected to make sure we didn’t know any of what we know today, and to make sure that we don’t know what we are going to learn tomorrow and next week and next month. Hillary Clinton’s primary purpose — in Barack’s vision, anyway — was to protect all of this. We would never hear of the Strzok text messages. We would never know that this dossier was anything other than what they were lying to us about, that it was a legitimate bastion of intelligence. We wouldn’t know anything, if Hillary Clinton had been elected.

If Hillary Clinton had been elected, there would not be a single word of concern about Russian intervention unless the media wanted to use that to continue to discredit Trump so as to persuade future Trumps to never try this. But there would have never been any concern of Russian intervention if Hillary had won. We wouldn’t be anywhere near this. There wouldn’t be a special counsel looking into Russian interference, because they wouldn’t want to be doing anything to taint her glorious victory.

If there was any reference to Russia if the Clinton camp had won, there might be stories about how close we came. “The Russians almost elected Trump!” I could see them doing things like that, but we would not have claims that the Russians succeeded in tampering with our elections. None of this. There would not be a special counsel, unless, in victory, they wanted to pummel Trump into a grave by impaneling one to investigate his corruption/collusion with the Russians. Anything’s possible.

The Grassley memo “is proof that the FBI did not tell the [FISA] court the extraordinarily partisan provenance of the dossier,” their No. 1 exhibit. We’ve learned that “a source in the employ of the Clinton campaign” was informing Christopher Steele of events to put in the dossier. We now are very certain that that’s Sidney Blumenthal. The Charles Grassley memo, the request for an investigation of Steele memo, “provides evidence that the FBI presented the FISA court with materially false evidence.”

The Grassley memo confirms that the FISA court was lied to “in the claim that Steele had not talked to the press.” He had. He had talked to the press. It “shows that even after Steele admitted under oath that he had, the FBI did not tell the FISA court in its renewal” of the FISA warrant. The original application lied and said that Steele had not talked to the media about any of this. He had! He had given Isikoff the down and dirty on it, which resulted in Isikoff’s story at Yahoo.

But then they had to go get the renewal, a 90-day renewal of the application to keep surveilling — and after they learned that Steele had lied under oath, the FBI still does not tell the FISA court that he had lied, that they had a dubious/bad source. And finally, the unredacted Grassley memo “provides evidence,” not speculation, evidence, “that Steele was getting information from the Clinton team itself! Via the State Department!”

That’s why Grassley’s criminal referral involves the State Department. Devin Nunes gave us a heads-up on this when he was with us on Monday that this was coming down the pike, and it has hit. So now we not just have a dossier based on unnamed, shady Russians, but Sidney Blumenthal’s fingerprints are now on it. And people are beginning to ask, just how much of this whole thing was engineered by the Clinton campaign from the start?

Well, if you read that book written about the Hillary campaign, pretty much all of it. I don’t have any doubt the Clinton campaign, the Obama administration are in this up to their armpits. The various, salacious, lying, false — stop and think about this. Nothing in this dossier can be verified, and yet it is and remains and has been for a year the primary vehicle to investigate Trump. How in the hell does that happen?

Can you think of any other case where the primary piece of evidence could not be substantiated for a year and yet the investigation would continue to ramp up. Not a shred of evidence, and everybody using this dossier now knows, and probably knew from the get-go, that it was bogus, and yet they keep using it. What does that tell us? Go to the audio sound bites. Some backup for this. Sharyl Attkisson, Fox & Friends this morning, had this to say.

ATTKISSON: The surveillance abuses that we are now seeing are tied into I think a pattern 10 of 20 years of bad actors in the intelligence community that I’ve been told by sources have been presenting bad evidence to the FISA court, but it’s never seen, so we don’t know that, to obtain illegal warrants or warrants that would not otherwise be granted. There are other surveillance abuses that allegedly occurred. I think this is all connected. And the reason they didn’t want Donald Trump, it’s not so much his political positions and how much they hate him, he was the one guy that, once elected, they feared would come in and there and peer at what they’ve been doing the past 10 to 20 years. It’s bigger than the 2016 election.

RUSH: Interesting take. Backs up one of my concerns. The real reason Hillary had to win was to make sure nobody learned any of what we’re learning! And particularly the involvement of Obama. But she’s making the point that this is by no means the first time that law enforcement has lied or used shady practices to get a warrant to spy on people, that it may in fact be routine for 10 years or so, and that everybody’s in on it and we can’t afford to have it exposed. Ergo what we’re literally seeing here is some panic that doesn’t look like panic on the part of FBI, DOJ, Clinton, and Obama.

Let’s jump forward to audio sound bite number 7. Last night on the Fox News Channel, question to Trey Gowdy: “Weeks before the election, somebody –” and this is from the Grassley memo. This is just backup of what I just told you. “Weeks before the election, somebody in the Obama State Department was feeding information from a foreign source to Christopher Steele. Is that right?”

GOWDY: When you hear who the source, one of the sources of that information is, you’re going to think, “Oh my gosh I’ve heard that name somewhere before. Where could it possibly have been?”

MACCALLUM: A foreign source?

GOWDY: The domestic source. And I’m trying to think how Secretary Clinton defined him. I think she said he was an old friend who emailed her from time to time.

MACCALLUM: Sidney Blumenthal?

GOWDY: That’d be really warm.

RUSH: “Sidney Blumenthal?” “That would be really warm.” So we had Sidney Blumenthal from the Obama State Department — remember, Obama wouldn’t even let her hire him. So she had to finagle him to get on a different payroll, but he’s been her side by side left-wing advisor and confidante going back to vice president days. Well, I’m sorry. First lady days. I mean, the guy would be right at home in the Politburo in the Soviet Union. Ditto his kid, Max over at Media Matters for America.

Anyway, we have a State Department source, a State Department associate of Hillary Clinton feeding information to the author of the Trump dossier.
