[Krypton] And a small planet called 'Detroit'

Zilla360

Krypton is an American television series developed by David S. Goyer and Damian Kindler for Syfy. The series takes place on the titular planet, approximately 200 years before the birth of Kal-El / Superman and eventual destruction of the planet, focusing on his grandfather, Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe). Krypton premiered on March 21, 2018, and will consist of ten episodes.

So I watched the pilot for this today, fully expecting it to be 'Super'-bad... and... umm... It was actually okay, I guess? The look of the Skimmer vehicles, the shield around the city, and the city itself all looked really nice. The actor playing the Bartender was pretty cool too. I might actually keep watching this. Thoughts?

And how long before we see Brainiac? Probably just before the end of season one, most likely. They'll want to stretch that out, for sure.

Edit: Also... :snap: :P

Any guesses on how many seasons until they introduce Lex Luthor as a villain?

Zilla360

End of season 2, I'd guess?

It'll be like Gotham and start tossing in any Superman villain by Season 2.

This makes me think of a CW show so much. Keep forgetting that it's SyFy

Rau-niac demonstrates some fake god powers and Seg is like "I can't even!" slouched against the wall for cover.

Lobo is coming in Season 2.

And here he is:

You say too much, I say not enough!

If it was anyone but Lobo I'd agree, but this guy is a heavy metal space biker who is a parody of 90s grimdark dumbshit so I'd say his look is pretty on point. The question is whether the writers remember that he's a parody character or not.

(I'm guessing probably not)

Brainiac 8

Have they mentioned releasing this on blu ray? I needs it.

PLA

He bikes space.

At least they didn't go for this look:

Google says 'TBC'. And only for the DVD, not BDVD, weirdly.

Hey, there's room for that Lobo too.

Most of it is on the bootheel of the real Main Man when he finds out somebody like that is going around the galaxy with the name "Lobo".

The Main Man now gets his own show, because why not.

I wonder when it'll be set. The current before Superman era or the Superman era.

Zilla360

Aww, they:

killed off Braniac in Ep-2x01. Killed by a big stick! :rotate: I expect he's got plenty more bodies elsewhere though.
And Daron-Vex (lol at scooping poop and space weevils) as well, so both of the lead antagonists from season 1 are now dead/out of the picture.
Clearing the board, etcetera...

I'm hoping this isn't just so the show can be become the 'all-Lobo-all-the-time' show. Save that for the spin-off.
I don't hate the character or anything but he's certainly far from my favourite DC comics character.

lwt1973

I think Emmett Scanlan is having the time of his life playing Lobo.

Ep2x06 - I'm loving the dynamic of:

Having Brainiac stuck, whispering in Seg's head. It reminds me of the Crichton/Harvey scenes in Farscape, only there hasn't been that 'Looney Tunes' moment yet between them, or Brainiac showing up in different outfits.

SyFy has decided to offer the show-runners the Black Mercy drop the show:

Bah! They aren’t moving forward on Lobo?

One show I was really looking forward to.
