Like Smallville man

Can I be hip without being cool? Yes, I like Smallville. Like most of America, I didn't watch much of the last season but I caught the season finale and it was really good. I justify it thusly, I know a pretty fair amount about Superman, yet I don't care about the current comic so they can do whatever they want provided he doesn't get invisibility or marry Lois or team up with Plastic Man. This show is pretty great. Lex is Clark's best friend. There are no supervillains yet so he spends maybe a little too much time fighting X-files quality villains. Even without the suit the big stuff comes out. It does so at an excruciatingly slow drip. The best twist? Jor-El sent the kid to conquer the earth as Krypton's legacy. He's the ultimate little league dad portrayed by disembodied voice emanating from a crack in some cave wall. Oh yeah, Lana Lang's parents were squished by Kal-El's ship when it crashed into the Earth. Good stuff at a good pace. It's been on three seasons which means that the Cable enriched can catch up on ABC FAMILY, or whatever it is called this week, and be ready for the fall.
