![]() Once she has been given Cor, Nyssa unlocks the codex, which Val has deactivated so that it can not be weaponized. Any attempt to open the codex by anyone else will destroy it. She has locked the codex and it can only be accessed with her voice. The group forms a plan to save Cor from Zod. The crew intercepts Nyssa upon her arrival on Kandor, where she is to be killed by the Sagitari and the codex taken to Zod. There is no way that Seg can defeat Zod without Brainiac’s help. The only way they’ll survive, he and Seg, is to move forward rationally. Brainiac is disgusted by the show of emotion. Seg, Jayna, and Dev feel Lyta’s death deeply. Seeing there is no peaceful path forward with Zod, Val detonates the bombs, destroying the space elevator station. The rest of the rebels, however, will be killed for treason. In doing so, Val will be allowed to rejoin the Science Guild under Zod and work for him. She gives Val the detonator and a choice - blow the station, killing a few innocents and saving the rebellion, or save the station, allowing Zod’s forces to wipe out the rebellion. Jax escapes with a cache of gravity bombs that she rigs to destroy the space elevator station. She has tried to keep Val from having to make the tough decisions and from getting blood on his hands, but no more. Krypton had a set ending (it blows-up and Superman lives)…but we most likely will never see it.Jax insists that she has no problem being seen as a monster because she is willing to do what’s necessary when others won’t. This is unfortunate, and a trend that has kind of been forgotten over the years with series that have set endings. All of this of course was crushed by the cancellation and as more time passes, it seems unlikely that a season or even a movie wrap-up will happen. You had Brainiac headed to Earth with Jor-El where Jor-El would gain powers like his son, and Sig and Lobo making a tentative deal to track Brainiac…plus, Adam Strange finally got his rocket pack. The future promised the Thanagar-Rann and Hawkworld with hints of the Omega Men. It provided a much needed change to series.Īs the series begins to swell, Krypton ends. This season livened things up by getting off the planet a few times (and also visiting a bright city in the “Mercy” episode). I like some of the special effects of the series and the costume designs, but the basic dark and mopey look of all the locations looked very much like sets. I can’t wait to see what nefarious plans Brainiac has for Jor-El…or notĪ big problem with Krypton-Season 1 was the sets. I do like the development of Rasmus Hardiker’s Kem and the series tries to demonstrate that Shaun Sipos’s Adam Strange is becoming a true hero in his own standing. Colin Salmon continues to be menacing as Zod, but the character needs more direction. I like Wallis Day this season with Nyssa finally getting more of a storyline, but in giving Nyssa a bigger story, Ann Ogbomo and Aaron Pierre really don’t have much to do. Cameron Cuffe is more likable and a bit more defined. The cast also feels more comfortable this season. It keeps the season moving in the sense you look forward to the episodes where these characters appear, and they break up the monotony of the Seg-Nyssa-Lyta-General Zod-Jayna-Dev storyline that has been brewing since Season 1. In addition to Lobo, Brainiac returns as one of the villains, and you get an impressive looking Doomsday (who I prefer to the Doomsday of Batman v Superman). I’ve never been that big of Lobo fan, but it was something different for a series that mostly had characters running through tunnels and having bad soap-opera romances. The addition of superheroes does add a slight spark to the series. Thanagar!!! I can’t wait! Omega Men…yes!!! Crap…
