All Is Lost

Who recalls the TV show "Sliders"? In it a group of people go through a machine that takes them to another earth where there are doubles of themselves. But things are of course not the same. As they try and "jump" back to their earth they keep landing on new earths. Turns out there are many many earths; all the same yet different.

I had to look up what came first. Marvel introduced it's Multiverse in 1971. Therefore "Sliders" did not come up with the concept.

I looked because this DC multiverse and Marvels remind me so much of that old show. Only difference is the original earth, our earth, is never "invaded" by doppelgangers. Other than the main characters jumping earths, everyone stays in their lane.

Personally I am tired of them in these stories. Esp Marvels where the existence of these worlds means no one can die because their double can just pop up (except for apparently Black Widow who is dead everywhere)!

Here it is not such a case but with "Supergirl" and "Arrow" existing in their own worlds... AND wasn't it established in "Supergirl" that ALL the other worlds were destroyed except hers? Does that mean this world is the one" And so then what is the Inverse?? An upside down?? Mirror dark??

Lousy writing??

Half way in in this episode, and I already got a headache of watching this soap.

The first season was pretty great with a nice balance between family and work/sci-fi (read: being Superman) but the latter now gotten totally moved to the background after a decent Bizarro start of the 2nd season.... Teenagers trying to act like adults with 24/7 emo drama, is btw always a great way to show on tv!

Time to wrap this stuff up, please.

With an episode title called 'All Is Lost.' I reckon things are not going to turn out well for Superman.

As Ally Allston plans to merge both versions of Earth. There are flashbacks as to how she manipulated Lucy Lane.

In the present day Lucy Lane is an important cog in Ally Allston's plans. She needs Lucy to call Superman so Ally Allston can overwhelm him.

Until then Lois Lane and General Lane make another attempt to try to get through Lucy. Unfortunately she is lost in the cult of Ally Allston.

It was notable how quickly Ally's members of the cult started to drift away just because she was absent for a few weeks. Only Lucy remains as the loyal acolyte.

The confrontation between Superman as well General Lane and Ally Allston was not well directed. With bystanders just standing around and screaming.

It became a soap like the rest before it did the same thing. Unfortunately I can't watch this anymore its very boring and feels like they are trying to think more things to squeeze in there in order ti get more and more episodes.

I genuinely feel sorry for Emmanuelle Chriqui because these writers have ruined her character. They've transformed Lana Lang from a rational, loving, supporting character into a self-righteous, overly judgmental, irrational, hypocrite. I actually prefer Bizarro Lana to the real Lana. At least Bizarro Lana is consistent.

Well, they just couldn't help themselves... The writers had to create a "super genius teen girl boss." Natalie was an insufferable character from the beginning, but now she's an infallible superior genius engineer warrior Mary Sue. Why do we even need Superman in 'Superman & Lois'? Natalie can build everything (and do it better than her father), and save everyone (and do it better than her father). God, I hate this show now...
