… and wrecks havoc in Metropolis. On the CW at 8:00Pm EST. May be lots of super strength?  😀

Total disappointment. She rips a metal rail off a hospital bed and runs a guy through with it, knocks Clark down a hallway and through a wall with a single punch, and pins Clark to the top of the car he totaled by falling on with a grip on his throat. Even though Kara was in the episode, she got NO strength scenes at all. While Clark went to take on Faora, Kara…. got sent on an errand to get J'ohn's crystal to use to extract Faora from Lois's body.

There was a plot hook at the end for a Kara spinoff, but unless the writer for the spinoff is a fan of superfemmes(assuming there's a spinoff at all) don't hold your breath. For some inane reason, corporate types seem to think that people hate the idea of strong women, so they make sure women are almost never depicted in TV and movies as strong, never muscular even when they are super strong, and even when a superfemme is in a series, she won't get much opportunity to show off her power. Geez, too bad the Holodeck is at least 400 years away. Imagine the stuff a femmuscle fan like us could do with a Holodeck….. Oh the holographic heroines I could make with just a few voice commands. Alas, my drawing skills are beyond pathetic, and in the absence of advanced Treknology, never shall my fantasies become reality.

Smallville, thy fustration with goes hand in hand with our disappointment.  8)

On a side note, I was hoping for an episode w/ Big Barda this season – but no such luck and I'm given to understand this one is the last for the series.

They had intergalactic tough-girl/hottie/queen Maxima on a few episodes back, played by an actress who, though pretty enough, didn't have any noticeable muscle.  She exhibited super-pheromone powers of some sort  ::) and threw a car with Lois in it.

While Smallville's got some okay superhero stuff this season (Maxima, Chloe/Brainiac, the Doomsday guy, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter), it's sadly not a place to go for any kind of femuscle.  Erica Durance (Lois) has a *little* bit of (rarely-seen) tone, and that's about it.
