Ok, going first. All in all, I thought it was a strong episode that set up the finale quote well.
The big news obviously is Zod's parentage. It's a fresh twist on the character that actually makes sense and ties well with his future relationship with Jor-El. Traditionally they have such a love/hate relationship, that they came across as brothers anyway. Plus, if you are going to do a love triangle with Seg, you might as well have both women be the mothers of his future sons.
Speaking of Seg, the season is almost over and I'd lie if I said I was particularly invested in his character. The love triangle (which is now in full swing) aside, he just comes across as a character who doesn't know what he wants to do. His plans backfiring and getting people killed doesn't help either. Krypton has a number of interesting characters (Jayna, Nyssa, Zod, Adam...). I wish the main character was one of them as well.
Really interested to see what happens with Jayna next and if Daron survives.

Yeah, it’s an intriguing twist that Zod and Jor-El are half brothers. The more intriguing relationship we won’t see is of course Zod and his nephew Clark. Though, as we saw Zod puts duty above family.

Yeah, I agree. I find everyone else more interesting than Seg at this point.
It was such a superb finale. I really enjoyed it thoroughly.
I also agree with others here that Seg-El is kind of a bland character, but in a way that's not so bad. Because he's basically a plot vehicle... he's the one character who moves along the plot, and is the character by which all the far more interesting characters are connected to. So that's just his role, you know?

He does and from what we've heard, it doesn't sound like he has much regard for Supes and what he's done on Earth. As if they are not even related.

He does work as a character if you look at it from that perspective. I just don't think that was their intention. He's the character we are supposed to root for and relate to and it just hasn't worked until now.
Anyway, just to clarify, this episode was the penultimate episode. The season finale is next week.

Isn't the finale next week?
I like the notion that Gen Zod is from both houses of Zod and El. I am curious on who saved Jayna. Also I was very surprised that Nyssa came back to save Seg.
