Topic: I don't give a poo about braniac.

Siffy channel is going to be doing a prequel to a prequel. Take everything good about smallville (basically just lois) and set an entire series in an emotionally numb cgi shitscape. And the bad guy? Brainiac. So fucling boring. I kinda liked the one krypton episode with brainiac in the superman animated series (lois was pretty boss on that show too) but every subsequent appearance overbuffed him to cowpoo levels. Injustice made him the geth (mass effect) mixed with the borg (trek, duh)

It's the same as that grape golly thanos, a boring shitty villian.

It's kind of like how asgard was boring as poo in the first two Thor movies, no one really cares about krapton. It's an origin story, not a fertile playground to set a series in.

I am unfamiliar with this series but since I gave up on the Star Wars franchise after the 3rd movie, I wonder if this critique might have been applied to those prequels as well?

I enjoy reading your reviews, which have been notably missing as of late.  I hope you will resume them.  Or maybe you are having too much fun under the palm trees...

Dang, I don't think even SYFY remembers this show. I was basing my anger off an extended preview back then, and it was all the hopeless horribleness that sci-fi was at the time.

Grimderp burns audience goodwill.

I still say Krypton is bless'ed boring. I did not like Zack Snyder's bite at the apple and I doubt the new movie will be much better. And yes, there is a new one and they used a cute dog to sell the trailer.
