Season 5 begins as the meteor show has come and gone, but some badass arrivals from Krypton have come to Earth, and they’re not here on a mission of mercy.Strap yourselves in, kids, it’s all getting real with the first mention of General Zod.
KNEEL!
The Random:
1. It seems every Kryptonian automatically has better control over their abilities upon arriving on Earth than Clark and he’s been here for sixteen years. Get with it, dude.
2. It’s not a trip to Smallville General without either an explosion or a patient dying. Their insurance has to be astronomical.
3. Chloe’s going to have a bit of explaining to do about being in a hospital in the Yukon, and Lex doesn’t seem like the one to let this one go.

Wow, Kryptonian fashion is pretty…interesting.
Is he wearing HER clothes? |
The Awesome:
1. That is a positively bitchin’ formation of the Fortress of Solitude and is reminiscent of a young Clark in Superman: The Movie discovering it for the first time.
2. Chloe finally lets Clark know that she knows his secret and it’s a big moment for both characters going forward as he tells her everything. Of course, it’s Lex that winds up in possession of the ship…and a new player enters the fray…
3. Clark’s battle with Zod’s disciples isn’t exactly on par with, “General, would you care to step outside,” but it starts with Lana getting chucked into glass shelves and ends with the Phantom Zone coming into play, so, all in all, that’s a win in my book.

If I ever get rich, and impervious to cold,
I’m having one of these bad boys built. |
1. How in the hell are the police going to explain their alien beatdown at the crash site, and how will the military not get involved in a worldwide manhunt after the ordeal? You’d think that’d be pretty damn near the top of the “to do” list, no?
2. Lana, not for nothing, but if you wake up and find your friend’s dad—you know, that guy who’s tried to kill people you know numerous times—with his eyes glassed out and scratching things in to the floor while rambling about aliens, just bounce. Seriously. No good can come of this for you.
3. Wait, did Lana almost single-handedly thwart the plans of two homicidal Kryptonians? They’re an advanced race capable of interstellar travel, but Lana nearly outwits them? For shame, Krypton. For shame.

The only saving grace for them is that Clark delivering to decisive blow.
Imagine eternity knowing Lana Lang was responsible for your defeat. |
