//I remember in Persona, season 6, where Jor-El warned off Bizarro out of the fortress. Why didn’t he do that to Zod and his followers during the final scene of Upgrade?//

@ Jenn, I think that’s the reason why the Fortress wasn’t working when Zod was there, because Jor-El probably built some kind of failsafe into the harddrive so that not just anyone can access it. Getting in isn’t a problem, but accessing the computer when a dangerous element is introduced is not a possibility.

Maybe it’s just me, but access to the FOS seems abit too easy. So, basically, Chloe can get their whenever she wants with or without Clark. Shouldn’t Clark keep the key to the portal hidden so that no one would be able to use it? Should Chloe have that much access? I know some would say yes because of situation like in Upgrade where Clark needed saving from himself…However, couldn’t she also do extreme harm by sending someone to the fortress that she shouldn’t have or going there her self and do something to it that she shouldn’t? Just few things to ponder about.
Also, doesn’t the fortress have security where it can warn off intruders? I remember in Persona, season 6, where Jor-El warned off Bizarro out of the fortress. Why didn’t he do that to Zod and his followers during the final scene of Upgrade?

A great review, once again! :)

Plot holes, plot holes. Thanks for pointing the first one out. I didn’t even realize it upon first viewing. As for the key, I think Superville8 has a point; when Metallo had the chip in he was essentially a robot. For the RedK heart, I was maybe thinking that she snuck back into the lab, but now that I think of it, Tess wanted to chuck everything away so that Lois had no proof that the lab even existed. So I don’t know anymore…

And I think I want to bow down at BAG’s feet. He’s a *great* guest actor because he really gets into his role and he sells John Corben like nobody’s business. He is a rare commodity and I hope we see more of him. :)

Well they did make mention of Vale in the episode and the general. So maybe he goes to the army base and Vale makes future upgrades and actually gives him the Metallo robot body which without physical feeling like heat and cold will make him crazy.

Great Review. On the first point I noticed that too I just thought it was just unneeded info in the whole of the ep. Maybe it was edited and will show up as a deleted scene? Point two Chloe needed to send him to the fortress so she showed his mindcontrolled body where to get the key then how to get to the fortress then when nhe left it was still in the fortress console and he left without it. Third I noticed the red heart thing too and still unsure how she got it and lastly to point 4 BAG is AWESOME thats actually what the A stands for in BAG! :D

Fantastic review. I’m still not sure how I feel about John being a “good guy”, although the matrix plug in his neck could explain that.
