The Superman & Lois season 3 finale was nothing short of epic. Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have glowing praise for how the season wraps though that doesn't mean the show escapes criticism for its handling of some of the plots. Let's just say they have some parting shots about the supporting characters.

Also on deck: Two thirds of the Spiral give an out of context review of the Gotham Knights series finale while Michael shares his thoughts and fills in the gaps. The plot on Nancy Drew was plotting but that doesn't mean the trio were keeping up with it. And, though the Mole has gotten a promotion, that doesn't mean the Spiral are done manifesting and hoping he can make their wishes come true.

Sabrina Reed and Michael Patterson have good news and bad news to share with the Walker fam. While the flagship has been renewed by The CW, Walker Independence has been canceled. There's also a host of summer and fall acquisitions that have been added to the network, but with Reed Gaudens gone for this week's pod they've shelved that news for next pod.

At least, even with their mourning of WIndy's run on The CW, Michael and Sabrina have another spectacular episode of Superman & Lois to dive into. As for The Flash...a lot of talking was going on instead of saving Barry. But, hey, Khione and Eddie got to shine so there's that.
