Whoa! I did NOT see Doomsday coming! Nice twist!
Yikes, is this Tempus particularly cruel. Any chance Diana and Bruce might suddenly appear and help? No? Okay, how *will* Clark find a way out of this? For all of Tempus' ramped up cruelness, I actually like it. He's world weary and scarred from all of his previous battles with Clark. His losses have hardened him more than he ever was. Rings true to me.
One other thing. I loved the line about needing to name the threat when Clark meets Tempus. I never quite thought about it that way but it feels so *right* that I can't imagine why I never saw it that was before.
