I’ve been watching Smallville for several months. Although I didn’t finish season 4 yet, I think that this season is much more interesting than the previous seasons.

For example, I found out that this episode Run is pretty cool.

The plot is about Clark found out that finally there is someone like him with extreme speed when his dad, Jonathan was saved by a mysterious kid Bart Allen (played by Kyle Gallner). While the story goes on, it is implicitly expressed that Bart will be the future FLASH and the idea of setting up the future Justice League of America. BTW, Kyle as Bart with the hair style and look is pretty cool also.

Season 4 is quite refreshing with the introduction of new characters, especially Lois Lane. Episodes of the previous season such as season 1 is almost the same, people got infected by the Kryptonite and turned into some sort of mutated villains. Almost every episode is like this. This reminds me of the early episodes of my all time favourite, Buffy the vampire slayer. Anyway, with the leaving of old characters and the adding of new characters I think the coming seasons will be much more better.
