Hope you’re enjoying the finale to our Byrne event! As discussed, Byrne wasn’t expected to exit when he did, and — according to Mike Carlin a few episodes ago — it was so abrupt that Byrne’s post-Supergirl Saga plans were unknown. Where do YOU think/hope Byrne would have gone story-wise?

📰 EXTRA! EXTRA! 📰 It’s Jack Larson’s finest hour in Season 4’s “Jimmy the Kid,” in which dead ringer Kid Collins poses as the cub reporter — but acts very out of character (like whistling at Lois!). Always Hold On To Smallville host Zach Moore joins me for a true color era standout! 🎧 NOW.
