I'm happier about this episode. The story gets moving. The pilot episode was busy setting the scene and contriving fate with the main characters (particularly Seg) mostly reacting. The Zods are presented like Klingons, honorable and violent.The worldbuilding continues. Val-El speaks about the historical accomplishments of the House of El, clearly taken from Nelson Bridewell's Krypton Chronicles. I think I heard the name Thar-El from that source, though maybe with a different bio. The show creators certainly didn't use the established names for the generations we see in the series. Jewel Mountains were mentioned, and a name I didn't recognize. We got a recitation of the gods of Krypton.The time travel plot could be completely ripped out and thrown away with minor story corrections. Everyone knows what comes later; we don't need Adam Strange popping in to remind us.We see up close that Kandor needs its dome because outdoors is quite inhospitable. Why? Other cities exist, so is the ecology bad locally or worldwide?And Brainiac was first detected "millions of light-years away". Sigh. TV writers just put words on paper that sound cool. They have no idea what the words actually mean. I would be happy with "a thousand light years". I'm not going to worry yet, though, about why conventional sensors can't detect Brainiac's giant spaceship when it's close enough to launch an ersatz meteor shower.</blockquote>
