Smallville Season 10 so far

   Smallville's final season aired premiered on September 24th and was one of the strongest premieres in the history of the show but if someone would ask me which premiere I loved most then I couldn't choose between Lazarus and last year's  Savior.The premiere drawn up four storylines for this year.The first was the "main" storyline with Clark beginning his final journey toward becoming Superman,the second was this season's main plot, the Darkseid plot,the third was the Suicide Squad alongside with the VGA(Vigilante Registration Act) and the fourth but least ,my favorite,the return of Lex Luthor and we got in the first round two Lex clones.A younger Lex and the crazy older one.To be honest from my point of view the Lex storyline has more potential because the VGA is kinda lame in the show because it's a used concept in the comics day-by-day so we see 24/7 and the Darkseid which is a big deal to the producers in the final year, need more "attention" and so far we've only seen a few times since the season began but this may change during the second half of the season.

The premiere was watched by 2.98 million people which is the biggest number in the history of the CW on a friday.Last year Smallville was third among the CW's most watched television shows with Vampire Diaries on the first place and Supernatural on the second.The 4th episode of the season called Homecoming was the show's 200th episode so it was considered as a milestone episode and drawn 3.20 million people and after a few overall ratings the show got the first place on 2010-2011 season CW list with Vampire Diaries moving to the 2nd place and Supernatural on the 4th.

 
 The least favorite episode of mine this year was the episode Ambush, don't get me wrong I enjoyed it but for some reason I felt it was weak considered that since the premiere all we got was strong episodes.

 
 So Lex is back,but without Rosenbaum.Yet.In the premiere we were introduced to the Cadmus where Lex made clones of himself in order to 'heal' himself if a serious damage was done to him but too bad for him because he died before he could 'rip the benefits' as the elder clone said.McKanzie Gray, who played the old Lex clone(around 50 yrs old) escaped from Cadmus and destroyed the other clones claiming that there is only ONE Lex Luthor and went after Clark.Of course one more clone remained alive ,a child clone of Lex known as Alexander who then Tess Mercer took under her wings.Old-Lex died of "natural causes" due of his 'problem' of aging fast but not before he set up a deadly trap for Clark.He either saves the woman he loves or saves thousands of people by stopping the explosion that rocks the Daily Planet but we viewers didn't had headaches because in old fashioned Smallville style, Clark saves the day ultimately.The other Lex, Alexander manifests the same illnes and  begins aging too ultimately ending up shaving his head to bald and calling himself Lex after "regaining" the original Lex's memories.This storyline looks interesting too.

  
 Another thing worth mentioning is that we finally saw the Superman suit.It's the same suit that was used in "Superman Returns" movie according to executive producers.Speaking of suits, Clark changes his wardobe this season and dumbs the super-cool-matrix looking black coated costume and changes back into the red/blue colored form.

  
  One thing is for sure:This season will be legendary and we got a list of returning characters from previous seasons.Michael Shanks (Hawkman), Jessica Parker Kennedy (Plastique), Laura Vandervoort (Supergirl), James Marsters (Brainiac 5), Chad E. Donella (Bugboy), Michael Ironside (Sam Lane), Peyton List (Lucy Lane), John Glover (Lionel Luthor), Alan Ritchson (Aquaman) Teri Hatcher(Lois' mom), Callum Blue (Zod), Michael McKean (Perry)  Anette O’Toole (Martha) and John Schneider(Jonathan Kent).

I rate this season with a 4.5 out of possible 5 so far.The last episode this fall airs on 9th December 2010 with the episode called Icarus and will feature the last appearance of Hawkman.He won't die right?Right?Right?xD
