Yeah, that's what I assumed, given Sing's comment.
I thought it was pretty cheesy. They might well've just animated the whole thing. Planets don't just explode, anyway. Segueing - all that knowledge and ability and the inhabitants of Krypton couldn't even tell their planet was gonna explode....except planets don't just explode....UNLESS THEY'VE BEEN DOPED like in Greg Bear's THE FORGE OF GOD.
Carry on.
You probably don't believe in Santa Claus either.
No. I believe in Satan Clawusse. Hahn hahn hahn hahn.
Anyways, definitely the first season, and especially the pilot episode featured nice animation. A lot of shows did in the 80s. (Mightly Orbots is still one of my all-time faves in this respect.) Just really stupid stories.
