This story was very satisfying. I enjoy the angst and tension in the episode, but logic, reason, and science are sadly lacking. This is a refreshing take where Clark doesn't immediately give up and people actually think about how temperature works. Seriously, how could Superman pull the sun's rays towards Metropolis? Aaaaargh!

My husband has a hard time watching sci-fi with me sometimes because though I can suspend my disbelief on things like Superman flying, I tend to complain rather vocally when the science is just plain bad. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who gets irked by such things. smile


"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
