Product: Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season (2009)
Rating: 5.0
I'd give this 10 stars if I could!
I am a recent Smallville convert, having watched all of the first 8 seasons and the episodes I've missed so far this season over a period of about 2 months, so I have a pretty good ability to compare this to all previous episodes. This one is the best yet. It was kind of nice to see Clark human, without it being the result of the ever-present green Kryptonite. It was also satisfying to finally see Clark & Lois really together as they are meant to be. I'm not a fan of Jor-El or the actor playing him and can't wait for this storyline to play itself out, but in this episode it all works. If you watch no other episode this season, this is one not to miss. This whole season is so much better than last that you should watch them all anyway. I REALLY hope they plan to keep this series around now that it's getting so good, and we are so close to seeing Clark become Superman.
