What did you think? I have to admit this was my favorite part of the episode.

I thought it was sweet but anticlimactic. I was expecting the fortress to light back up afterwards. Also... the storing of the clip inside the fortress is kind of impossible considering Jor-El sent the stones to earth before he knew of Krypton's fate. That video was made minutes before Krypton imploded.Comment

It seemed to be upstage the Ella/Lois scene, but it failed due to the fact I have no idea why the Fotress decided to show that message now after attacking Lois. No problems with the actors or the lines, but I really hate how they have mangled the Jor-El fortress to the point its laughable. A scene by itself was a very well done, but in the context of the episode let alone the show, it failed.Comment

It seems that the A.I. Jor-El is the 'ego' that he didn't want to leave his son with. If you think about it though, if Jor-El would have left an A.I. that was all 'its okay, you'll get them next time' Clark would NEVER become Superman. He had to be more strict and Jor-El's holographic message was probably part of the plan and was to be show to his son at the right time. Because now, Clark will never see his father the same way again. He'll understand that his father & mother for that matter loves him, and that anything the A.I. Jor-El asks of him or tells him is for a reason and not just to impose his will on him. He's preparing him for his great purpose on Earth. I know it seems like he's been an a-hole, but so do drill sergeants in the armed forces. I get Jor-El isn't a soldier but a scientist and not a drill sergeant but his father, but imagine preparing your son to be the savior of another planet. You'd know that you'd have to be harder on him than you'd want to be...Comment

I got a better sense and was way more impressed with Lara-El in this one scene than I was in all of that episode Helen Slater guest-starred in during season 7 (the name of which I can't think of right now). Back then, the character fell flat for me, but in this one I was intrigued. I also really liked Julian and Helen looking around them every once in a while, as if Krypton were coming down all around them. Nice touch that made the scene that much better.Comment

I was glad to see Clark get that message. Maybe he and Jor-El will reconcile their differences soon. I admit, I was *hoping* that we'd hear a short discussion between Jor-El and Clark, but no..... ah well, it was still well done.Comment
