Smallville - 6.1: ZOD

[jdotmi]

Just got done watching my TiVo'd recording of the season premier of Smallville.

Without going into too much spoiler territory (nobody died, everything's changed, and Kryptonian women either have preternaturally shiny lips or they have a lip gloss factory in the Phantom Zone), this was bar none the best episode of the show ever aired. It's even better than the Pilot. And every single character but Lois got to shine in a million different ways. (Lois was, well, unconcious for all but 5 minutes of the episode, so she didn't get a lot of chances there. The 5 minutes she had? Iconic.)

If they keep this up for the rest of the season, they will far surpass any previous season.

I really need to catch up on that show. Never remember to watch it any more. I haven't in ages. I think I caught 1 or 2 eps since Lois joined.

Heh. Well, you didn't miss much in Season 4. There were great moments, and soe characters seemed really cool, but then it all just went to hell in a tea cozy.

Season 5 was pretty good, though. There were a couple clunkers (such as Aqua), but it was good.

But the premier of season 6 just kicked all sorts of ass.
