I have started to suspect that Superman and Lois has so far been taking place a few years before Crisis, and is in the parallel universe where Supes and Lois had twins all along. They have not yet been merged with the “Earth-1” S & L who more recently had a single infant while staying at Argo City. That’s…a very interesting idea. I’ve brought up a couple of times in this thread that we haven’t actually seen _any_ internal evidence in this show that it takes place on the Arrowverse Earth-1, and in fact some circumstantial evidence points to it _not_ being Earth-1. If this is a world that is going to become merged with Earth-1, it certainly resolves a number of continuity issues. Against that, though, is that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a TV or movie adaptation ever be _nearly_ that ambitious with that kind of in-universe pre-retconning. > [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > For a show about a living god, this show has been unexpectedly good at the smaller character work and mostly just ok at the big action setpieces. That first half was wonderful. Everything after Morgan Edge (or Tal-Rho) came into the picture was just ok. I agree. I was really impressed by Tyler Hoechlin. The way he conveyed with facial expressions and body language the pure _joy_ of his first flight, then the devastation of heartbreak when he realizes that Lana is in love with someone else, and then channeling Christopher Reeve…Honestly, I didn’t much like Tyler Hoechlin as Superman when he first appeared on _Supergirl_. I think this may be the first time I’ve truly bought him as Clark and as Superman. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/superman-and-lois-season-1/933031)._
