Edge's speech about holding back not to break people made me think of Superman's speech in JLU against Darkseid. The whole world made of cardboard bit.
I really feel bad for Jonathan through this whole season though. So much is thrust upon him that he's really not prepared for and you can see how its weighing so much on him. Keeping secrets, being used by the girl, unable to follow his one passion in football.

Have you ever thought about Superman’s romantic life? Like, really, really thought about it? Hard science fiction author Larry Niven did back in 1969, with his essay "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex." He takes physical intimacy with the superhero to hilarious — and scientifically accurate — extremes.
Without giving too much away, Niven breaks down the very real problems the not-so-real Kryptonian would have with intercourse. For example, “Electroencephalograms taken of men and women during sexual intercourse show that orgasm resembles ‘a kind of pleasurable epileptic attack.’ One loses control over one’s muscles.” Now picture this happening to someone with super strength, and you’ll see what Niven sees: the probability of either sudden death or endless sexual frustration.

John probably ended up being my favourite character in the show by the end. And I dig the Steel armor and hammer, even if it constantly gave me Star Trek "shields down to 50%" vibes during fights.

Spoiler:
the sub rescue was, “man I hope the crew doesn’t get executed for having had contact w. Supes”.
Not sure if it’ll happen this ep. but Nat and Lois are really gonna have a blowout, aren’t they?
