I'm not sure if Labrynth counts as an AU episode, but I really loved that one. Great effects were used to tell the story, same as Luthor. I'd put Labrynth and Luthor in the same boat, actually, IMO.
But nothing tops Apocalypse for an AU ep. Lois and Clark. Jimmy Olsen. Daily Planet. Government conspiracy, nuclear holocaust, a Clark Kent who was Superman essentially, the glasses!!!, President Lex Luthor. Love that episode.Comment

Whereas Labirinth wasnt a realistic manifestation and had no clear purpose, other than making Clark give up to kill him. And he almost did.
And Luthor AU as a lesson to "Luthor blood is poison" is ridiculous in itself, because he knows very well that blood doesnt make person good or bad. Or is the show trying to tell me he wouldnt try to raise young Lex if he found him and would judge him by faults of his creator and give up on him? Because that is NOT what Superman believes in. AND he had encountered this several times already. Kara vs Zor-El for example. Or Onyx and Fracture with good and bad parts of Lex.Comment

And yet, the AU is the best way to show him how would the life on Earth be different if he wasnt on Earth.

In Labyrinth, the AU seemed to be unnecessary, but lets not forget that Clark was under attack all the while. And I thought it was a wise move to make the phantoms attack him in various different ways like that.
As for Luthor, I agree. If the AU was about stuff like this, we are talking about stuff that he should know by now. And he doesn't just know them, he has preached them so to speak. I haven't found a new message from the Luthor AU, even though I found the episode enjoyable. The only things one can keep, is Lionel escaping and Clark and Tess having a new found respect for each other.Comment

My point is that they could have rewritten Apocalypse without the AU (and Clark's depressed mood at the start) and it wouldn't have made a big difference to the season in general. Not to mention that Clark should have known by then that he has brought a positive change to the world, but that's another story.
But I agree, that someone should have told him that first meteor shower would destroy the SV regardless if he was on the way or not, since him birth had nothing to do with the destruction of Krypton

The Lionel stuff tho I totally hate. He isnt there to teach Clark lessons or add some other character development for him. He is there to cause havoc and trouble, something Clark will have his hands full of with Darkseid, Lex, SS and VRA already. And I dont care how good or popular actor JG is, I find his character completely unnescessary :/ In fact the whole Luthor stuff this season is irritating to me, its baiting, someting that might not have any conclusion by the end of the season if MR isnt coming back.
I so wish Tess would just be Tess and not Luthor.Comment

Come to think of it, which zoner did he actually beat by himself and didnt have to be saved or needed help? Only Titan

Whether the Apocalypse AU was a real AU or not, I still think that Apocalypse's AU resembles the RW characters core personalities more than Luthor's AU did, and Apocalypse is a place where Clark Kent doesn't even exist in.Comment

I want to choose Luthor I really do as I really loved that episode....but I really love Christmas themed episodes in TV and I thought Lexmas was fantastic....sooo....I guess I will choose Lexmas with Luthor in a very close second.Comment

I'd love for them to revisit Earth-2, maybe have Ultraman and a proto-CrimeSyndicate. Maybe reveal Earth-2 Lex to be alive and with a proto-JusticeLeague of his own......maybe I need stop geeking out LoL.Comment
