Not sure when I’ll have time to record next. It would be thematic to do a Martha episode for Mother’s Day but I’ve other commitments the next few weeks. I have a bunch of notes about Lara and Martha but not compiled enough for an episode yet.
Though Lara is only in the Krypton sequence, she’s given more to do with more significance than you might initially think. Even as she expresses doubt and fear, she’s ultimately the one who makes the active decision to launch Kal-El after bravely completing the first natural birth on Krypton in centuries. Lara is the one that faces her husband’s killer and his threats at sentencing and has to face the end of Krypton a widow and without her child. Some interesting stuff in that before and after when you unpack it. Martha, meanwhile, is a strong and nurturing mother who eventually needs an episode because there’s so much to say. For now, simply:
Happy Mother’s Day!
So until next time, an extra helping of RRSSS to help tide you over. (Also be sure to check out all the other great DC podcasts out there!)
