Some episodes got cheesy, but it is still one of my favorite TV show. A great Superman story. See more Edward L @Glyndower Jul 30 Although it is now over twenty years since this was first broadcast the series remains, despite the millions of dollars spent on the DC and Marvel films, the best screen adaptation of a comic book character. The series is primarily concerned with character and the chemistry between Clark, Lana and Lex is particularly important although all the members of the core cast work well together. Although I realise that the DC canon could not be broken, as a kid reading the comics I always felt that Lana was a better fit for Clark than Lois, certainly Kristin Kreuk was so much better than the annoying Erica Durance as Lois. One of the few flaws is that several of the ordinary villains look like Quentin Tarantino and act almost as badly as him, but this doesn't really detract from the series as a whole. See more Rowan C @RowanC3 May 25 I have been hearing a lot of talk about an old show called Smallville and this first season did not disappoint. I am a huge superhero fan and this was such a great origin season for Superman I have ever seen with him just discovering how to use his powers. Clark Kent who is played by Tom Welling does such a good job portraying Clark and how he uses his powers in the first season was such a cool thing to watch. Clark already knows that he is invincible, that meteor rocks slowly kill him, he knows how to use his super speed and super strength. One power that took him a while to get used to this season was x-ray vision which he had to put more work in on how to master it but it didn't take him long. There was also such a great origin story between Clark and Lex Luthor who is played by Michael Rosenbaum in which they actually start out as friends. Lex in this season is really trying to escape his father Lionel Luthor who is played by John Glover and become his own man. Clark arrives on earth when a meteor shower hits Smallville in which Martha Kent who is played by Annette O'Toole and Jonathan Kent who is played by John Schneider find him in a field which leads to them adopting him as a child. Clark grows up with a close group of friends which includes Chloe Sullivan who is played by Allison Mac, Pete Ross who is played by Sam Jones III and Lana Lang who is played by Kristin Kreuk. Clark has always been in love with Lana but she was always dating Whitney Fordman who is played by Eric Johnson. Clark and Lana grew so much closer throughout the first season and Lana started to fall for Clark. Whitney suffered the loss of his Dad George Fordman who is played by Dale Wilson and also lost his scholarship to Kansas State. At the end of the season, he chose to enlist in the military in which he told Clark to look after her until he gets back. There were a lot of different villains in this season because it focused on people gaining abilities due to the meteor rocks and using those abilities to do bad things to the point where Clark had to stop them all. In this process, Clark finds out that these meteor rocks actually weaken him to the point of being too weak to fight these villains. My favorite one episode appearance character is Ryan who is played by Ryan Kelly who eventually plays Jordan Parrish from Teen Wolf and he has the ability to read people's minds. Clark and Ryan just grew on each other and it would've been cool for them to stick together knowing each other's secrets. My favorite villain in this season is Sam Phelan who is played by Cameron Dye and finds out about Clark's secret where he uses it against him to do his dirty work for him. When Clark refuses, he frames Jonathan for some random man's death which sends Clark over the edge to where he actually wanted to kill him. Clark eventually beat him and Lex tried to find out what Sam knew but Sam told him nothing right before he died. Clark finds out that Chloe actually likes him so they appear at the Spring Formal in the last episode but three twisters end up hitting Smallville. While this is happening a Journalist who is working with Lex, Roger Nixon who is played by Tom O'Brien puts the missing piece back into the ship which activates it again. Jonathan chases Roger out of the storm shelter worried about his son's secret getting out while Martha is fearing that he might be sucked up by the tornado. Clark leaves the formal knowing Lana was at the bus stop where the tornado was at and her car gets picked up into the tornado when Clark was speeding towards her in which the show ended with the "to be continued" ending the first season of Smallville. Lex also hesitated to save his Father during the tornado but ended up helping him but Lionel was left blind after the accident. Overall, I absolutely loved this first season and I can't wait for the other 9 seasons. See more Read all reviews
