The plot thickens. John Corbin as the 2nd Mate. I loved the description you had for him:
As a young powder monkey he’d been involved in an explosion where minute fragments of metal had superheated and burned through his clothes. All the right side of his body received the full force of the explosion and some molten metal pieces had burrowed under his skin. By the time the burns had healed there was no way to get at the metal fragments embedded in his skin. It was one of the contributing factors to his limp … and the main reason he was referred to as Metallo.
Major events were about to occur and he’d decided that he didn’t want Louis and Jimmy involved.
Uh-oh. So, were they going to wake up on a deserted isle? Jimmy will be thrilled when he learns Lois isn't a boy, but Kal might end up regretting that decision.
LOIS:

I would NEVER with Jimmy!
just joking, Lois.
She’d seen the way he tipped away one mouthful of rum, for every swig he genuinely took.
Not being a drinker myself, what do you mean "tipped away"? Do you mean spit out?
Kal was a disgraced Naval Officer. He’d been discharged about three months ago after murdering his commanding officer, but there was no proof to convict him.
Hmmmm. I wonder if this cover story is just a cover, or if he's there to clear his name.
Kal was an enigma and she was fascinated.
“Lewis,” nudged Jimmy, “you’re dreaming again.”
Yeah, Lewis. Not good for your health to be caught drooling over the first mate.
Also, which is it? Lewis or Louis? Jimmy uses the former, Kal the latter? Does Lois use both pronunciations for her cover name?
Tess? Nope don't know Tess, must be a later season addition. I was thinking Mrs. Luthor might be Lana, but she doesn't really have a father anymore. It's nice to see Cloe, though. I'm guessing if "Tess" is the old governor's daughter than the prisoner isn't Jonathan or Lionel. No idea.
Okay, if Brainiac is ship's doc than he's not the captain. So, who else?
