Okay, somewhat to my own surprise, I found myself watching the season premiere (my hubby watches it so I've been catching bits of the first four seasons). I missed some of it while putting kids into bed, but I think I got the gist of things.
I enjoyed watching Chloe tell Clark to switch to "superClark" mode
And their conversation was really interesting, too. But I was really frustrated that Clark didn't seem to be working very hard at making it back to the FoS by sundown. (Did Jor-El specify a timezone and latitude, btw? If the fortress was at the North Pole, Clark might have had another few months to make it back
)
Barbie the Barbarian (lol) and sidekick were pretty uninteresting. I liked Lana's attempt to trick them toward the kryptonite, but how did she know the vault was there, or what it would do to them? And it was pretty funny for Clark to knock them into their own trap, but that was *way* too easy. "We'll huff and we'll puff, and we'll kill tons of people, and... oops, gotta go" The only redeeming plot point I can see is that now Clark might think there's no further threat from the spaceship, when of course there is. Another instance of obscuring the truth (spaceship) by flashy misdirection (meteor storm).
Clark and Lana, yuck. I like Lois but she has very little to do, from what I can see. Although she does get snappy dialog.
(Does anyone else think it's kinda strange for Lois to call him "Smallville" when they're actually *in* Smallville?) (or should I not try to apply logic too much?)
