I wish I had the luxury of trying to remember them! I couldn't understand what they were saying when they said most of the names (except Adam Strange)- I think b/c, as you mentioned, they were alien names. I put on closed caption briefly at one point, so I did get the "Lyta-Zod" name but that was it. Hoping I pick up more as the show goes on.
Interesting points. At this point in the show, I was still trying to figure out what Seg-El's new last name was going to be (was it Vex? it sounded like that) so I got distracted at the very beginning of the "destiny-of-your-future-offspring" scene when they said the name of the kid and it wasn't "Jor-El." So I thought maybe the point was that, b/c this kid wasn't going to be called Jor-El, and we know that Kal-El's dad is Jor-El, it was a way of letting us know that Seg-El doesn't end up marrying that blonde woman...
I liked the time traveler, mostly b/c I like the idea of a mystery about what happens in the future that leads Adam to travel back, how does he travel back, and what are they supposed to do to change it? But if the execution of that storyline is poor then agree, it could be very annoying. On a side note, I found myself obsessing over the slowly-disappearing-cape gimmick b/c - I know it's stupid of me - but assuming that the point of the whole series will be Seg doing something in order to save future Superman, and hoping that the series is good and lasts for several years, then I don't want to spend several years watching a cape slowly disappear...until near the end of the series when he saves future Superman and the cape stops disintegrating. (Well, it probably won't play out that way, but that is something I will dread having to watch if it comes to pass, lol)
