Well, they largely did the T1000 with Brainiac. Fact is they've used a number of villains from Superman's rogues gallery that could cause him trouble without resorting to kryptonite but for the most part they haven't used them well. Doomsday being the perfect example. They spend a lot of time setting up the climactic showdown between him and Clark and then the actual battle takes place off screen.

Random thoughts while watching the episode:
- Kryptonite radiation can be stopped by sheet metal now?
- Lois gets tied up. Again. This time by a force field.
- Kryptonian VHS has an awful lot of lens flare!
- Happy Birthday, Lena of the House of L!
That said, I enjoyed the episode and the two cameos (Helen Slater and Teri Hatcher)

I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.
