I like to see a reunion between Clark and Lana. I think that Lana should dump Lex and get back together with Clark. I can't wait for the moment when Clark's super powers and abilities all come together and he becomes The Man of Steel we all know as S U P E R M A N!

Loved the premier and LOVED watching Chloe and Clark. They have great chemistry and these days are pretty much the best reason to tune in. Best part of the ep? Lois unconscious!! She remains unnecessary to the show as we already have our Lois Lane in Chloe.

WHOA! That's not obvious that the Clana fans fixed the poll. Seriously! How would it go from Chlarkimmy/Chlark winning with like 12,000 votes (which took the whole duration of the poll to reach that high) to Clexana winning with like 50,000, overnight?! Sheesh!

I really liked the premiere. Loved the Chlark reunion.Such a romantic scene.The writers left the possibility of romantic Chlark open for the future.I hope TPTB finally come through with Chlark,it's been a 5 year wait.
Interesting thing I noticed was the lighting of the Lexana and Clois hospital scenes.Both scenes had very dark,cold,unwelcoming lighting.Compared to the Chlark scene which had bright,warm and welcoming lighting.The more romantic lighting.
So bring on the Chlark!

Katie said: I'd actually prefer the real Lois to have made it through school without needing Lex Luthor's help

I'd prefer it if she actually graduated, stayed in university without getting kicked out for drinking. But no. We get the lightswitch to end all lightswitches and gosh, isn't she lucky? Natural talent or whatever you want to call it.

I thought the season premiere was excellent. Everybodys acting was stellar, especially Michael Rosenbaum and Annette O Toole's. As for the Clark/Lois moment, I happened to like it very much indeed. It was a lovely scene, and I hope to see more like them.

In terms of these 'shipper wars though, I really wish they'd end. Why can't we all co-exist without being so derogatory towards each other? I'm going to be thought of as an idealistic fool here. But I honestly say, that at the end of the day none of us have any power over whats going to happen in the show, or what romantic relationships are going to be explored. As a Clois fan, yes, ofcpurse I admit, Chlark doesn't make me happy, whereas Clois does. But if so, then so. And my thinking in this way doesn't mean Chlark is bad 'ship, just I dont like it.

I wish I had creative control over the show, lol. But the truth is none of us do. In the end, I can just hope that Clark/Lois together on this show are progressed. But must we make snide remarks about each other's preferences along the way? About the promo's, advertising, spoilers, everywhere you look, there are some people constantly making petty and childish remarks of complaint. Complaint, and valid complaint, where you respectfully put across your opinion and preference without criticising the other alternatives and options, is one thing, but whining baselessly, another thing altogether.

I thought "Zod" was a really good episode. Loved that Clark is finally waking up to Chloe.Clark was, very clearly,upset that Chloe didn't want to pursue a relationship at that time.
This coincides with Allison's TV Guide interview that someone would feel "awkward",obviously it's Clark. It seems to me that a Clark/Chloe/Jimmy triangle is(possibly)being set up. So,hopefully,there'll be CHLARK in the near future.A lot of fans have been waiting FIVE YEARS for Chlark.
Loved the Martha/Jor-el scene,Lionel and Chloe kicking butt,Clark/Zod fight,and Lois unconscious(one Lois episode down 12 to go).
Just saw a new promo photo of the "triangle" ads. Seems that Clark/Chloe/Jimmy have been included(ON KSITE). Nice to see Allison FINALLY get some publicity.Good work CW, now just deliver on the CHLARK!
Looking forward to "Sneeze" more Chlark.

Claire,

Will the two new Triangle ads released yesterday be going up as well? I hope so, because everyone looks great in them and the Clark/Chloe/Jimmy one just screams triangle oh AND! it's the only one remotely DP-like. It's great that CW finally gave us what we've been clamouring to see.

No one said Lois didn't help Jonathon last season. And guess what? Chloe has helped the Kents and the world plenty as well.

I'd actually prefer the real Lois to have made it through school without needing Lex Luthor's help

If Chloe had of got that key, and gets to the Fortress, you would just use that to slam her as a flawless Mary Sue that you don't like anymore, and we all know it.

From Shanmu21: I wish she could have made an attempt to save the world at this juncture and fail in it rather than not attempt at all which would have showed her motivation rather than wimping out with a lame excuse of injured leg

Which would no doubt lead to calls (not you, but this would come up) of: Look she FAILED! The Real Lois would have succeeded! OR my personal fave: Why is she doing so much? When does she stop being Clark's crutch? When does the BDA step up and start acting like a superhero? etc.

Right.

We're back to Chloe is slammed for doing too much and slammed for doing what people think is too less.

And still it's more than the unconcious Lois.

Chloe is the one who knows
1. Clark's secret
2. How to get to the FOS
3. Knows about Zod and the Kryptonian Virus
I wish she could have made an attempt to save the world at this juncture and fail in it rather than not attempt at all which would have showed her motivation rather than wimping out with a lame excuse of injured leg. So it is too much to ask of Chloe to do something about the situation on hand with the knowledge she has.
I prefer the real Lois who risked her life to save Jonathan's from the bad Krptonians even when she knew she can't beat them.

I'm just going to add ny thoughts on the premiere, hope no else minds. Its just my opinion! :)

It was a very good episode, with the SFX absolutely amazing. The Clark/Lois scene was just beautiful. Wonderfully written, directed and acted. Lana was surprisingly courageous and brave in this episode. Lionel is one of the best characters, as always, especially now that the writers are really playing up the ambiguity factor. I liked his scene with Chloe too. And the 'Kneel before Zod' scene was perfection. Great job!

if a person missed the season premier where can you see it

But then, the other canidate for Lois spent the ep unconcious...so I'll stick with Chlois. She was *part* of the episode which is more than can be said for her cousin. Chloe can never do enough, or she does too much *shrugs* Chlarkers and Chloisers have heard that plenty of times before.

Kudos to the writers for the unconcious Lois. Best part of the episode and here's hoping for more of that.

This version of Lois Lane is insulting to viewers who have been fans of the charcter for years and now we're supposed to believe in the mother-of-all-lightswitches to make her become more like the Lois we adored for ages and seen already in Chloe for five seasons? Right. That coupled with the promos that turned people off the season even before it started hurts the show. At least we get Chlois and Clark scoobying this week. That's something worth watching while I tape the other-shows-that-shall-not-be-named-on-a-CW-blog-without-being-edited-out. If Smallville continues on this path of with their lightswitches and getting rid of Chlark and Chlois, we're spoiled for choice with the other shows on Thursdays.

The real Lois would have saved the day? Umm compare the Lois Lane Smallville has, and say she's all that much like the real Lois either. Even the people behind the show admit that she isn't, then come up with reasons for it (it being Smallville and not adult Lois)

Chloe comes out way ahead. She can't save the day all the time, it's unfair on oter characters (like say Clark) to expect her too

Smallvilles Lois spend the finale of season 5 talking of flunking school, she spend the premiere of season 6 unconscious. And Chloe's the one who didn't do enough to distinguish herself?

"Maybe there is. But you talk like this is the big oppurtunity to show what Chloie's character is made of. When Chloe has always been shown to think on her feet. So not having Chloe take a hand in saving the day in one episode might mean something. But you have to look alongside all the times when the writers do allow Chloe to shine.
People would only call her a Mary-Sue if she did help to save everyone again. She was constantly attacked for being too perfect in season 5. Now she's not quick-thinking enough?
The reason to keep her in The Daily Planet was so that they could have someone in scenes with Jimmy's intro. Chloe has the past history with him, she works at the paper. She's the obvious choice. It says nothing about Chloe as a character, and is not meant too. Unless you're prepared to look at all the times Chlooe has saved the day, and then draw conclusions from that as well
The boards are always full of complaints about Chloe being written as more of a hero than Clark even."
If I have to view her as only Chloe then I don't have any problem with Chloe in season premiere but if I have to view her as Lois then no I can't. Because the real Lois would have done the actions I had posted.

Wow, it is too bad some people can't enjoy the show and post a positive comment because their favorite ship is not gonna happen...
I think the premiere was great, a little too fast on some scenes like the Clark/Zod fight but very good on others.
Martha in the fortress was incredible, it really gave us a new perspective of Jor el, more like the Jor el from the comics and the movies.
Chloe and Jimmy were so cute! I'm glad they finally brought someone for that girl, she deserves some love!! lol
And las but not least: Clark and Lois. WOW. Totally unexpected scene but amazing. It was sweet and a great foreshadowing of what Lois is gonna think about the fortress in the future. Only her would describe it as "heaven". Just incredible. The writers did a very good job at this scene. And the chemistry Clark and Lois showed was great, you could clearly see that there is not only banter between them but also friendship and a genuine affection. I hope this season they start developing more each of the characters, individualy and together.
It is too bad some people has completely mistaken what is to favor a certain ship and another to bash an actress like they do. That just shows a lot of disrespect and inmaturity on their behalf. Too bad cause they are the ones that don't enjoy the show.
All the actors and actresses are doing a good job, and they each offer something else and unique to help Clark Kent become Superman...remember? this is the story of Clark Kent.

CW: you are doing a great job, especially by promoting the show. All the ads, commercials and promo pictures are great.

Yeah, where is that Clark and Chloe option? The previous polls made it clear they are the fan fave here. It totally smacks of being afraid of the results.

And please. There was no chemistry between ED and TW, never has been; their scenes work because Tom Welling makes it happen. That handholding was Clark being compassionate and nothing more. They are like siblings and its icky to even think about them in a romantic relationship.

Chloe has always been and continues to be the real Lois of this show and the fan fave. She's the underdog and the girl who's smart and beautiful and loyal. When will the CW execs get that its that kind of character that of course would be the fan fave and who would be part of the fave ship as well.

People want to see Cinderella get what she deserves. They do not want to see lazy Lois who disses the hero and can't earn anything on her own end up with the job and the guy of her cousin's dreams. What kind of story would that be?

This Lois is the worst Lois ever and there's no saving her. She brings absolutely nothing to any epsisode in which she appears and the less we see of her the better. Perhaps if the network would stop pimping her in a misguided attempt to garner ratings and instead give us Chloe, the real Lois, ratings would be a whole lot better.

The people who've hung on and supported Smallville all these years are not all that young demographic. We count as much as those far younger and we can turn the channel just as quickly.

Smallville is lucky to have the best Clark Kent ever in Tom Welling and they should realize the treasure they have in Allison Mack. This life long Superman fan wants a Lois I can be proud of and a romantic pairing with real chemistry and that's Clark and Chloe all the way.

I liked Zod. I liked how they wrapped it up there from season 5. But there are some things that I find annoying.

How is that Martha in her 40's/50's? managed to get up after the crash, drag lois all way to the F.O.S in the temperatures that are -30? Oh and how come Lois was unconcious all the while when she is younger and fitter than Martha? IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!

Why didn't Clark put up more of fight between him and Zod? I know it was to trick him and all but seriously? If that was me I would have said 'Ah hell with this!' and go mad. But that's the different between me and Clark.

It was good to see Lana assertive than her usual self. But you Lana's fans have got to admit it was a defining moment to see her try and save everyone from Zod, even though she had been thrown aside and had her hand stabbed. Ow.

I liked the scene between Clark and Martha in the barn. It showed the beginning of the lonely hero road and she showed her support, no matter what will happen. GO MRS KENT!

But I loved the hospital scene between Clark and Lois. Suprised that they held hands, wasn't expecting that one, but to say to the F.O.S was heaven, well, made me smile. Got to love that line.

One more thing before I'm done.....

I'm a clois fan, straight through and through, don't know why there are some people who think Chloe is the 'real' Lois. I mean, yeah, Chloe had always taken the route through Journalism and Lois is going to in future episodes, but isn't Chloe an only child? Isn't Chloe's father an average day worker and not a General? I love Chloe, I do! She was the reason why I stuck through season 1-3 but to say that she's Lois Lane? You really have to be hardcore Lois fan to know that the writers on Smallville needed that sort of element, without annoying whoever, cause Clark was never into Journalism when he was in his teens. But that's my opinion, if in some bizare twist that she is Lois Lane in disguise or memory lose or swapped identities or whatever, she'll still be Chloe Sullivan to me cause she has a different kind of spark to her than Lois. But that's just me.

This was an ultimate oppurtunity to show how Chloe would have worked under duress and how she thinks fast on her feet and yet they failed to show it.
Maybe there is a reason for it.

Maybe there is. But you talk like this is the big oppurtunity to show what Chloie's character is made of. When Chloe has always been shown to think on her feet. So not having Chloe take a hand in saving the day in one episode might mean something. But you have to look alongside all the times when the writers do allow Chloe to shine.

People would only call her a Mary-Sue if she did help to save everyone again. She was constantly attacked for being too perfect in season 5. Now she's not quick-thinking enough?

It says nothing about Chloe as a character, and is not meant too. Unless you're prepared to look at all the times Chlooe has saved the day, and then draw conclusions from that as well

The boards are always full of complaints about Chloe being written as more of a hero than Clark even.

"How would she have done that without the key?"
She has to go to the Kent's farm to search for the key because the key is not going to come to her and say here I am use me now.
"At least she was trying to figure it out in an attempt to save the world."
By doing what. She knew all the computers in DP are infected with virus. Her logical choice should have been to get to the computer which originated the virus. That would be Lex's computer because she saw Lex as Zod flying away with Lana. Lex should have had his computer in Luthorcorp or in his mansion in Smallville.
Her only options where either to try to talk to Jor-El or find Lex's computer and not staying at DP.
"First of all, Martha was supposed to be in Washington. How was Chloe supposed to contact her? Secondly, she wasn't sure what happened to Clark at all except that he didn't defeat Zod."
If Clark had not defeated Zod and there is a high chance that he was hurt and is still in Smallville.If Chloe would have gone with Lionel they both could have gone to the Kent farm to get the dagger where Chloe will have met Martha and they could have talked about it. And they could have shown Chloe doing the above two actions I mentioned too.
"She wasn't worried about her leg in a selfish way as you are implying. She knew that she would be completely useless to go back to Smallville because she would be holding Lionel back from getting there as fast as he could."
Then they should have made her say "I won't be able to get there as fast as I want with my condition" and not what she said and to add to the fact she was not limping in the DP scene when she met Jimmy and this was just after she left Luthorcorp.

This was an ultimate oppurtunity to show how Chloe would have worked under duress and how she thinks fast on her feet and yet they failed to show it.
Maybe there is a reason for it.

Loved the premiere so much!

The Clark and Zod fight was too cool. Especially the flying!

Chloe kicked butt. I especially enjoyed seeing her teaming up with Lionel.

And Zodana were really hot! Lana has been given a spine finally, and become a much more interesting character. Kristin did a really impressive job with that scream.

And dare I say it, but I really enjoyed the Chlark hugs as well. Maybe I am stuck in the past. Maybe Chlark isn't canon, and we should all bow before the mighty ship that is Clois. But I still ship Chlark, and feel no need to move on. I hope that everyone is okay with that? Feel free to ship Clois, I wouldn't dream of telling you that you need to stop.

We all have difference favorite characters and ships, and that's how it should be. I bash Clois as a ship, but I'm not going to say that people shouldn't ship them if Clois is to their personal taste. So why should I keep being ordered to move on from Chlark? It's just rude and overbearing

And the poll option should have been Zodana, not Lexana! I ship Lexana, but it was mostly Zodana in the premiere.

Clark and Chloe aren't in the poll and they're my ultimate choice for best couple.

Unconcious Lois was a wonderful addition to the episode, so my vote went there. :)

The fight between Lexod and Clark was awesome! It was fun to watch. So much action in this premiere!

Overall it was a good episode. Best part for me was seeing a jealous Clark. He's *finally* seeing what he's been missing with Chloe all these years. She's his true love and his destiny.

Lois unconcious? Perfect! While the rest of the characters are going through hell trying to save the world, our "Lois" is conviently knocked out 'cause well...there's just no better way to show how unneccesary she continues to be to the show. The writers then had to resort to a cliched "seeing the light" moment in an attempt to kickstart a character that fans should right behind...and then put her being unconcious as part of their poll - as a good thing. Someone must be paying attention to the fans :)

It's amazing that the writers could only think that Lois being close to *dying* was the best way to rationalise her complete turnaround this week and her foray into into journalism and spreading the truth to the masses. This is the character who wanted Chloe to smear Lex for her, btw. How easy for her that a near death experience could have opened her eyes to what Chloe has already been doing through the press and with Clark as investigating help - seeking the truth and telling the world. That is *Lois Lane*.

What's worse is that if that isn't the case then..."Lois" believes the Fortress is heaven so that must automatically make her more inclined to believe in Clark and Superman in the future? This is how SV plans to rescue this version of "Lois" and make her more appealing to fans? While Chloe is right there next to Clark helping him develop new powers while their investigations continue this week!?

There's a great scene up as a sneak peek for this week on the show's webpage of Chloe and Clark as she helps him with his new power. It's filled with great chemistry between Chloe and Clark and another example of why she's the *only* Lois for the fans.

"I am compelled to post that Chloe knowing Clark's secret and she being in FOS twice was useless because the world is in utter chaos and she is worried about her leg to go to Smallville.The real Lois wouldn't be worried about her leg at this point."

She wasn't worried about her leg in a selfish way as you are implying. She knew that she would be completely useless to go back to Smallville because she would be holding Lionel back from getting there as fast as he could.

"In my opinion she should have left with Lionel because she knows how to enter into FOS from the caves inner chamber."

How would she have done that without the key?

"What was she going to achieve staying at DP?.Without her computer she can't do anything and she doesn't know what the kryptonian symbols mean. Her best chances would have been a confrontation with Jor-EL. Because the real Lois would the taken her chances to confront Jor-El and not be sitting at DP staring at the Kryptonian symbols."

At least she was trying to figure it out in an attempt to save the world.

"She didn't bother to check on how Martha was doing after losing his son"

First of all, Martha was supposed to be in Washington. How was Chloe supposed to contact her? Secondly, she wasn't sure what happened to Clark at all except that he didn't defeat Zod.

I think Erica does an exceptional job with what the writers give her, and I even like the Lois character *if she were someone else* If you told me "this is Marcy, she's Chloe's cousin" I would have said "Awesome! She's funny" But EDLois just doesn't work for me as ILL.

I would love to see Clois if they would have actually made Lois ambitious. I'm sorry, I just want my role model to stay as that, a role model. If TPTB could have found a way to make EDLois the iconic character believably, I would have accepted it and probably enjoyed her onscreen. Except now it appears that they're going down the "she had an epiphany now *poof* she's ILL" path and that really bothers me. It seems like a total lightswitch.

Wow, that was long. But yeah, to sum it up: Lightswitches are plot destroyers, Erica is cool, Clois isn't, and Marcy would have been a better name ;-)

Wow. And people's true colors rear their ugly heads. You know it's quite funny that the Cloisers are accusing the Chlarkers of all sorts of things. I'd watch the finger pointing, cause you know what they say about that. When you point one finger, you have 3 pointing right back at yourself.

I didn't realize this blog was for debating, but it's funny you mention those things shanmu, because I can guarantee you if Chloe had done what you say she should have, you'd be one of the first people screaming how horrible it was for her to do so. And also? How could she check on Martha? Her and Lois were supposed to be in DC already. She had no clue that they were back in town or what happened to them. Are you suggesting Chloe's got Martha on a low-jack or something and knows where she is at all times?

Anyways, I loved the premiere. Clark kicked butt. Chloe was awesome. She had a gun. Nuff said. Jimmy smiles too much and that kinda makes me want to punch him sometimes.

Chlark was all kinds of sweet and made me squishy inside. The triangle between them and Jimmy has been perfectly set up and I can't wait to see how it unfolds.

And Lois? Who gives a crap. She was unconscious for a majority of the episode and that's the way it should be. Thank goodness only 12 more to go! YES!

I was not going to post any negative comments about any of the characters but after reading thru the comments I am compelled to post that Chloe knowing Clark's secret and she being in FOS twice was useless because the world is in utter chaos and she is worried about her leg to go to Smallville.The real Lois wouldn't be worried about her leg at this point. In my opinion she should have left with Lionel because she knows how to enter into FOS from the caves inner chamber. What was she going to achieve staying at DP?.Without her computer she can't do anything and she doesn't know what the kryptonian symbols mean. Her best chances would have been a confrontation with Jor-EL. Because the real Lois would the taken her chances to confront Jor-El and not be sitting at DP staring at the Kryptonian symbols.
She didn't bother to check on how Martha was doing after losing his son because in Vengeance where Martha was alluding to the fact that she was happy Chloe knowing his secret so that Martha can talk to Chloe since Jonathan was not there. But where was Chloe when Martha needed her.

Here we go with the cloiser's thinking there ship is the only rightful one because its canon.

well some of us don't believe edLois is the REAL Lois, so we will continue loving Chlark if that's okay with you...

It's sad that chlarkers can't voice their opinion because it wasn't a poll option.

The season premiere was awesome. The epic battle between Clark and Zod was done very well it had a very good Superman vibe.
Great job by the special effects team."Kneel before Zod" and "My father sends his regards" sent chills up the spine. Michael and Tom delivered that line perfectly.The phantom zone really looked good and its interesting to know that some of the phantoms have escaped along with Clark.
So this season Clark will have to fight people who match up to his powers along with Lex. The end shows Lionel writing POWER below the Kryptonian symbol.Another highlight is "His destiny is his own now" and "Follow your heart" delivered by Jor-EL and Martha.
It makes me wonder is Lionel back to being evil because if he is evil then it will interesting to see how Clark will out maneuver him. Season 6 has a lot of potential if CW and SV writers focus on Clark's destiny and make us believe that he becomes Superman on his own volition without any push from anyone.
I am not going to answer in the poll because I don't believe in any online poll. When I saw the poll the best part of the episode is Lois being unconscious.So people are saying that whatever effort the special effects team put in the Clark-Zod fight or the phantom zone is not worth but the writers easy way out to keep Loisunconscious is the highlight of the episode. No wonder why the quality of the episodes start declining after the season premiere and Kryptonian artifacts/crytals pop up to make Clark's and writers life easy.

"My goodness, there's some fierce bitterness amongst Chlark fans... How entitled to think that YOUR 'ship is the only one worthy, and the rest of us can go take a hike."

Well, not really. I'm not bitter-- I'm delighted to see the show set up such an obvious romantic Chlark triangle. It's clear what direction they're going in, and I couldn't be happier about it.

It's just a little disconcerting to see those lovely, enthusiastic hugs between Chloe and Clark, and then come here and find that the CW poll ignores Chlark, not even offering the 'ship as an option for best couple of the episode.

If they're going to show two people so obviously into each other, they should expect the viewers to want to vote for that couple. We're not saying Chlark is the only worthy 'ship; it's simply the one we want to vote for:-).

Ooookkk, sidestepping this whole 'shipper unpleasantness, lemme just say I liked the episode. I could have done with the Clark/Zod fight being a little longer, but neeeever mind. It was still pretty darn cool. And the SFX in the ep were better than ever. As for couple, they're not really a couple yet, but I like the idea of Clark and Lois. So I guess If I have to choose, it's them. Peace, y'all! :)

Whoa, what's with the hostility? I came here to share my thoughts with CW on the show. We're not the ones addressing real people with "stop with the Chlark" or "Chlark is so done" or "you're turning into Clana shippers". Insulting two shippers groups in one go with that last option. Way to go!

We are talking about the show, and how we see the ships and characters. The most Chlarkers have done is knock Clois, and complain about a CW website not having a poll with Chlark in.

So lay off attacking other posters. I'm sorry you're frustrated at the widespread fandom hate for Nois. But this really isn't the classiest way of expressing your frustration

All I have seen is people asking for a Chlark option in the poll. Now we are suddenly incredibly bitter? Not really. I loved the season premiere, and so do all the other Chlark fans I know. All we want is for it to be fair, when other ships can express love for their ships in CW polls. It's not like we're saying Clois should be excluded from polls. We just an want equal chance to vote

And Lois is getting 13 episodes. They never made promises on screen time, so I don't see why her time in Zod wouldn't count as an episode

I am amazed at these "Chlarkers out of the woodwork" comments; Chlark has been a ship since the VERY first season. Chlark was nominated for a Tator Top - were they pulled in over 15000 *seperate votes* for best kiss. Chlark had over 10,000 *seperate* votes for it as best couple at KSite. Chlark won by 67% to be the best couple at TVGuide (Where they had over 30K seperate votes).

The idea that Chlarkers are a very vocal minority is a very big lie.

Oh yeah, because suddenly the 9000 people who never showed up on any other poll (TVguides, SciFi.Com, KSite, DTS) conviently found the affiliates page... yeah that's totally plausible.

Disliking Erica's Lois, thinking Erica has NO chemistry with Tom, and such is not Erica bashing nor Erica fan bashing. Somehow trying to offput Chlark fans as crazy people however, IS. Those are targeting *real people* too - something that is conviently forgotten by those Loyal to Durance. Of course since Cloisers have sites about how they must *assassinate* the competition, maybe people shouldn't be surprized by this reaction from them.

People can critize Chloe, Allison, Chlark with little to no objections. People critize Lois in any way, shape, or form and suddenly the posters themselves are called names and attacked in to try to undermine any of their validity (never mind that it's backed up by the media at large.)

"And ofcourse, there's the basic issue of POLITELY stating one's case without bashing

But I guess that's lost on a lot of Chlarker's"

Sweetie, your hypocrisy is showing ;) How is bashing a FICTIONAL ship any worse than bashing people just for the characters they ship? You can point fingers all you want, you're still a big fat hypocrite

Lois does bring a little something special to the show though. It's called nausea. Even the CW network has an option for unconscious Lois being a GOOD thing.

"And ofcourse, there's the basic issue of POLITELY stating one's case without bashing any other character or 'ship, or worse, an actor/actress. But I guess that's lost on a lot of Chlarker's."

I haven't seen any bashing of ED, only Lois, and there is a huge difference: one is a real person, and the other is a fictional character. If people don't like a character (or ship) on this or any other show, they are certainly entitled to express that fact. And if I'm not mistaken it was the CW themselves who put "an unconscious Lois" in the poll. Why do you think that is? Because she is so well loved?

And by the way, the WORST kind of bashing is that of other fans, which so far I have only seen from a couple of pro-Clois people. So please, step down from your high horse and let other people express themselves, even when they are saying something that you disagree with.

[Quote from Elaine]ofcourse, there's the basic issue of POLITELY stating one's case without bashing any other character or 'ship, or worse, an actor/actress. But I guess that's lost on a lot of Chlarker's. [/quote]

Sorry, but I haven't seen any bashing here, until I read your post.

I think most Chlarkers here (and most Cloisers too) have been pretty polite up to now. Let's keep it that way, OK?

LOL! Who knew us Chlarkers would cause such unrest in other 'ships - even ones that don't exist anymore like Clana! Mwahaaa!

Oh boy, we must be doing something right!

Now we sit back and wait since when all is said and done, and Chlark is still onscreen to be seen and for fans to still believe in - out come the accusations and high and mighty judgements. Same old, same old.

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane no!!!!

It's Born-Again Lois!

Mwahaaha! Thanks for giving me that image, Jared. I can imagine Lois onstage somewhere, clad in white extolling the virtues of a near-death experience as the best way to find ones way in life. Never mind that people have enough of a sense of self to do that on their own without the near death experience part. The SV writers never cease to amaze at how bad they can make Lois Lane look.

Great start for season 6!!! Martha in the fortress was incredible, it showed everybody that jor el was a nice guy and not a tyran like the kents always thought.
The Clark/Lois moment in the hospital was truly amazing, sweet, unexpected and funny at the end! just like their relationship. I hope this is the start for TPTB to begin developing more their friendship. They have an incredible chemistry.
I'm glad Jimmy appeared on the show, and especially cause he is gonna give some love to our Chloe!
But I certainly the cousins bond this eppy, I want to see more of them together also.
Great job on the premiere and great job CW!! keep up the good job!

My goodness, there's some fierce bitterness amongst Chlark fans. And these are the same bunch of people who have so often accused Clana 'shippers of letting their blindness for their 'ship ruin and cloud their judgement for the show itself. How entitled to think that YOUR 'ship is the only one worthy, and the rest of us can go take a hike. And ofcourse, there's the basic issue of POLITELY stating one's case without bashing any other character or 'ship, or worse, an actor/actress. But I guess that's lost on a lot of Chlarker's.

Anyways, I loved the episode. Clark was fantastic. Zod was well acted by Michael Rosenbaum and the Phantom Zone was pretty scary. The Clark/Lois moment was very nicely done, and I hope to see more of it during the season.

Wow. Clark and Lois are winning -- no suprise there. Clark and Chloe aren't an option -- again, no surprise there.

What a great episode. Lots of nice moments with Martha and Jor-El, and Lionel and Chloe, and even Lana had a role to play. The Clark/Zod fight was spectacular and the highlight was the lovely Clark/Lois scene. Truly a wonderful way to begin the Clois in season 6.

Love it loved it! One complain though...too little Erica, her character brings a special something to the show and I missed her during the eppy. But the clois scene was great! and Lois describing the fortress as an ice palace and then saying that she died and went to heaven... just amazing! perfect perfect.
Great eppy!

Great episode! Martha in the fortress was amazing, and I think Michael Rosenbaum did an incredible job as zod. But the best part for me was the clois scene in the hospital, it was unexpected and very sweet, and funny! i hope this is a preview of their growing bond through the season. And I seriously hope this was NOT one of erica's 13 episodes! she was like 3 minutes total! n no no.
And I loved the chimmy relationship.
Great job TPTB
Great job CW!!

Wow!! I loved Zod!! Not only Martha and Lionel where totally cool in each scene but the Chlark?? The scenes with Chloe and Clark just rocked!!! They are soooooooooooooooo good together that is not even funny :D.
I truly enjoyed the fact that Superman2 Zod, alias Terence Stamp came out of Lex, Lana being beaten?? I also enjoyed that one ;).
Oh and an unconscious Lois? What a gift, thanks!! Can you keep her like that??? ;)
Keep them coming, keep the Chloe/Clark interaction coming okay..
And Jimmy was cute.

Come on guys! Stop with the Chlark already! I hate it when a beautiful friendship is destroyed because the fans want some booty. Lois and Clark have chemistry otherwise there wouldn't be entire sites/forums devoted to them. I personally love Chloe, but I think her "thing" for Clark was just a high-school crush.
Plus Clark Kent in ANY triangle involving Jimmy Olsen is just hilarious. And stop with the Erica Durance bashing, we do not bash Allison Mack, so please be respectful. Erica is a wonderful actress, just because your ship didn't sail you don't need to insult an ACTUAL PERSON.
Now comment the episode, please!

Wow, so many great things about this episode. MR as Zod was amazing! The fight scene was pretty spectacular. And somehow DeKnight actually made me like Lana in this episode! It was nice to see her play such an assertive role, instead of the princess/victim as usual. I still can't stand Lois though, even if she is "born again." But I do find it hillarious how excited all the girls got just because Clark held her hand, especially since Lois was the only one who thought it meant something. Oh well, it's good to know they are so easily appeased. The Clark/Chloe/Jimmy scene was great, and it looks like they are setting up a little triangle at the DP - Clark was clearly jealous. I also really enjoyed the Martha/Lionel interaction and the Clark/Martha talk at the end, it really gives the impression that he will be stepping up the heroics this season.

Only complaint - it was WAY too rushed!!!!

Looking forward to more Chlark kisses!

And I hope Lois is unconscious for EVERY episode

Wow - Chlarkers out of the woodwork.

Well, SOME of us enjoyed the clois moment. It seems like post-SR, the clois restrictions have been lifted (to some extent). They are already promoting the Clark/Lois/Ollie triangle in print ads.

Chloe and Clark work as friends and confidants. The fact that they aren't in romantic relationship doesn't diminish that.

But LOIS is the love of his life. SV needs to spend some time investigating just what it is about these two that makes them work.

THAT'S compelling.

Um...did I miss the Chloe and Clark selection for best couple? Oh, that's right, it wasn't an option...and why not?
Any way, I did enjoy it and enjoyed how things were tied up. I really enjoyed the Chloe/Clark/Jimmy scene. My, my Clark was not happy with Chloe's response. Great way to set up that future relationship. It's so great that Chloe is a character that many want to see come out on top - much like that Betty chick....

Clark and Lois only have chemistry in so far as they look revolted by one another lol

Clark and Chloe share a special bond. More of that, please!

Uh, sure, Clark and Chloe have no chemistry. Which is why they kissed like crazy before he went off to save the world, in a scene very reminiscent of romantic movies. Which is why she ran across the room (again, in a scene very like a romantic movie) and flung herself into his arms when she saw him again. Which is why they hugged, TWICE. Yeah, one little touch of the hands shows SO much more chemistry than that. Or not.

Clark and Chloe have been friends for years, and he clearly loves her-- as opposed to Lois, who he can barely stand. I'm looking forward to seeing their friendship deepen into love. This is the season for Chlark, and I can't wait to see it!

Pity I can't vote in the poll for "best couple", but somehow the Chlark option got left off:-).

The Lexana is pretty sweet too. The Zod/Lana scene was surprizingly hot.

There is, however, no heat between Clark and Lois. Smallville has changed so much already, they should just give up on trying to make something out of the heaps of bordem and annoyance Welling and Durance give off on screen together.

There was however, a surprizing amount of chemistry between Tom, Allison and Aaron. I was shocked - before that kiss I never saw it, but hopefully it was the first of many!

Yeah, Chloe/Clark got nominated for a TATOR TOP because their kiss was so unpopular. Right. Sure.

I'm looking forward to Clark dealing with his suddenly realized feelings for Chloe this season - it's so great to see the shoe on the other foot.

Someone please save us from lame Lois scenes. Every attempt to salvage that character highlights just how off the path to becoming Lois Lane she is and how much Chloe already is *Lois Lane*. Her interaction with Clark is nowhere *near* the chemistry which exists between Clark and Chloe.

Smallville is on it's way to having the horrible distinction of having a "Lois Lane" who sees the *light* and decides to re-evaluate her life. What a cop-out to the fans. We see Chloe, Clark and Lex grow, fall and pick themselves up, but Lois gets her near death experience, and *wham* that's all she needs to change her life?

Please don't let Smallville's addition to a wonderful line of Lois Lanes be this *sad*? What an insult to the fans who have followed Chloe and Clark for five seasons now. Oh no, wait - that's what the CW excels at. Read the ratings, CW. And spin them all you want. You are still driving fans away when you ignore what they want. There are plenty of heroes out there on Thursday nights and not all of them have to wear a superhero suit or be the equivalent of a new generation of pin-up girls. Lois Lane was always *more* than that.

Way to continue to dissapoint fans, CW and SV PTBs. No wonder people are tuning in elsewhere.

Seriously guys, Chloe and Clark are so done. Yes, they had a kiss in 'Vessel,' but it wasn't even that hot. And Clark was only interested when they reunited b/c he's lonely after a rough go of it in the PZ. They have no chemistry whatsoever.

While I don't think Lois and Clark are the best couple either, they're scenes are far more interesting. It's mainly b/c you know they'll end up together but neither know it yet, and they clearly don't have the full-blown hots for each other so it's awkward. Looking forward to more hilarious Clois scenes!

I adored the episode, especially the Clois. Come on, there's one special chemistry going on between Durance and Welling. That hand holding, the look on their faces! Ha! How can you now love it? Lex and Lana were good too and I loved Chloe and Jimmy! Finally she goes after someone who will love her back and will probably stand as the true sidekick Smallville's Clark need (okay she has been doing that for almost a season now, but still it's nice to see her growing up and evolving) I don't understand why people want Chloe with Clark, she'll just end up with a broken heart because he is SO MEANT TO BE with Lois.
The Zod scenes were handled beautifully, I adored Michael Rosembaum in them and even Kristin Kreuk didn't annoy me.
Go AlMiles! Keep pimiping the Clois and the Chimmy!

How can you have a poll of the best couple in the Smallville Season premiere episode and blatantly leave off Chloe/Clark? It's almost like you went out of your way to include every possible couple on the show but diss the most interesting and pivotal couple.

If you're going to include Lois/Clark, Jimmy/Chloe, Lionel/Martha - you probably should include the couple who hugged multiple times upon reuniting after sharing an epic kiss the last time they saw each other. Especially when it's pretty obvious that "the moment" they shared obviously meant something to both of them.

The Clark-Zod smackdown was awesome, but what's with this poll? No Clark/Chloe option? C'mon guys, are you pulling our legs? That's the hottest pairing you've got, and you don't even list it as an option?

Whatever, guys. I'm here for Chloe/Clark. If that's not on the menu, I'm not ordering. *eyeroll*

I loved the premiere. It was much better than I expected. I was happy Lana understood she was mistaken about Clark and Chloe. The battle between Clark/Lex was a little short, but it was great. I loved a lot Martha/Jor-El talk in the fortress and the Jimmy/Chloe interaction.

My favorite? Lois and Clark scene at the hospital. It was totally unexpected and completely sweet. I never understood why WB didn't explore their friendship more. They weren't aloud to be a couple, I get that. What I don't understand it was they couldn't be more friends. I really hope we start to see how Clark Kent will fall in love with Lois Lane in the future.

Go CW. This premiere was definatelly a job well done!

Where's Chlark as an option? Now i'm sure that CW knows that Chlark is there, about to happen, but it's refusing to accept that by not putting them as an option in this poll.

CW WAKE UPPPP!!!!!

Mariana from Brazil

Yay, one Erica episode down, 12 more to go. Can she spend all of them unconscious? She's SO much easier to tolerate when she's unconscious.

Love the Zod vs. Clark stuff. Loved it. The Lexana was pretty sweet, Lana is definately more interesting with Lex. I'm not sold on Jimmy, but Chloe was pretty awesome with her gun; as were the two hugs between Chloe and Clark at the end.

Bravo Smallville. Great season opener. The PZ was really very scary, Clark and Lex's fight was amazing and the Clark/Lois scene was wonderful. Hope to continue seeing these characters on their destinations, and 'ships wise, Clark/Lois all the way.

I loved the premiere, it was quite possibly Clark's biggest "Superman" moment yet. I also loved the Phantom Zone and the surprise at the end with the escaped phantoms.

My favorite scene was the Clark/Chloe/Jimmy scene in the Daily Planet. The Chlark reunion was so touching, and I was so excited to see CLARK actually interested in pursuing a relationship with Chloe for a change. I definitely like the turn there, from now on we'll be seeing Clark watching Chloe with another guy, instead of Chloe watching Clark with another girl. And Aaron Ashmore is perfectly cast as Jimmy "James" Olsen. He's cute, sincere, and a little doofy, which is what I expected him to be. I also loved how he grudgingly liked Clark, even though he felt threatened by him. If this is the new triangle for the season, than I'm all for it. It was well-played all around.

Thanks for the unconscious Lois option! Maybe the CW does sometimes realise what most fans really want to see?

I love how you're frightened to put Chlark in your polls now. That's the only way the hand hold (complete with grossed out Lois) would stand a chance. Since when is it romance for two characters to be repulsed by one another?? I still have fond memories of Clark sharing my distaste for Lois boobs in Exposed and Fade

Now that's romance!

One episode down of Nois and 12 more to go. Not to mention 12 more of her "seeing the light" *rolls eyes* We're supposed to buy that? After five seasons of Chloe already *being* Lois, we are told the CW's pin-up "Lois Lane" has seen the light so now she's going to be the real thing? Please. She gets worse as each ep passes.

One thing I'm sure the CW will not disappoint is in their continued ignorance of the fact that fans want more Allison Mack and Chloe - our Lois Lane.

I really enjoyed Zod. Loved the Chlarkage!!! More of that please :) I totally see the setup for a triangle of Clark/Chloe/James. It's going to be interesting now that Clark's the one who wants Chloe- but I'm glad he has to fight for her. Lois served no purpose in the plot how funny. She can go away, like yesterday.

There needs to be a Chlark option...when will the CW get that we want Chlark?!

I vote for Chloe and Clark! Too bad its not an option?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hee!! Clark was so jealous of Chloe and Jimmy. Can't wait to see how that develops.

the Clark/Lois scene was hilarious, they are like brother and sister. I didn't vote for them..it would seem incestous..eww.

Next week looks awesome! Chloe and Clark working together has got to be my favorite SV element.

chloe/jimmy won't last...i give it 7-10 episodes ;)

Could the hand holding between Clark and Lois have been any more cuter? they have a great vibe and chemistry together! And yayyy for Chloe! I'm glad she is with Jimmy, he is funny and sweet.
Michael Rosembaum did and amazing job playing zod and Martha in the fortress was great also. Oh! and the Martha/Lois scene was so very totally sweet! I want more scenes showing the mother-daughter relationship they have.
Go CW!

I don't even see how anyone can say the Clois hand-hold was romantic. It looked like something family or someone visiting you from chuch would do. It was pretty awesome that Lois was unconscious the whole time though.

Good episode. I like how they are building up the relationships between the characters. Chloe and JImmy make a cute couple. Marth and Lionel... not so much of a fan, but oh well. And Clark and Lois... baby steps, little by little they friendships is growing. They have an amazing chemistry! And Erica's portrayal of Lois is amazing. I can't wait to see how the TPTB develop the Clark/Lois/Oliver triangle!
Well done so far CW! Especially all the promos pictures and the ads!

I certainly hope this episode didn't count as one of Erica's 13 episodes she is gonna do this season. Everyone did an amazing job, and I'm glad they are starting to show something a little bit more than friendship between Clark and Lois. Even if it is one sided. The chemistry between them was awesome! And the chloe and jimmy interaction was great also.

It was good. I loved how they showed the bond between Martha and Lois, the "sweetie" part just proves how Martha considers her like a daughter. They should have more scenes like this one... and not cut them!!! like in season 5!!
I love how Clark was really concerned for Lois and the whole talk about the palace of ice was amazing...I couldn't have imagined it better.
And I love Chloe and Jimmy!!! could they be any more cute? I hope their relationship last long, that girl deserves some love. Good episode!

Go clois go clois!!! that single scene with the hand holding totally did it for me. It was awesome!!!! And I loved how Lois described the Fortress as an Ice palace and that she died and went to heaven!!! could that have been more foreshadowing of how in the future she is gonna go there constantly.. only her could have such a reaction :) I'm glad she remebered it, and Clark's smile when she told him of heaven was so sweet!
Go clois!
Great job CW!!

I loved the premiere!! Especially the Martha - Lois scene, it was great! And when Martha called her "sweetie", awwwww, it just shows how much she means to her. The fight was also superb, and the hand holding between Clark and Lois just amazing!!!!
Yes we want to see their friendship keep growing!! great episode!

Smallville Schmallville. Where's the Supernatural love! The season premiere was awesome. Jensen Ackles was/is really compelling in this role. Not bad to look at in a t-shirt and hospital scrubs, either;)

The premiere set so many things in motion. This season has great potential.

Wow. Would you look at how afraid the CW is of Chlark that they won't even put it in an online poll! LOL! This is too funny. Maybe they should consider watching their show instead of slapping together random polls with no basis in reality? I mean come on, Clark is so desperate for companionship, he even reaches out (and I use the term loosely) to Lois. And would you look at that - he still ends up alone.

Here's a thought: how about a CW Source Blog poll for the "couple" with the best Unresolved Sexual Tension with Chlark as an option? Hmmm? Or is the CW really too afraid to *see* what the fans truly want? God knows, they've perfected the art of sticking their head in the sand. No wonder people are heading elsewhere on Thursdays.

BTW, here's another idea for a poll. How many epsiodes do you think before we get one of the following requisite scenes just so we now dammit it's *attraction*:

Lois in a bikini emerging from a lake/conviently placed swimming pool/running through the rain in a white shirt - you know, the usual Lois stuff

Lois stripping

Lois caught in the shower

Lois going on a date with the GA in the "triangle" dress

None of these will be complete without Clark looking on and according to the CW being "attracted" (read nauseated by the fans) to Lois -that's how we'll know they're meant for each other. Wow. That's such brilliant writing - whatever did we do without the CW to tell us what to think and to ignore what we *want* to see.

I vote 3rd ep in. GA will around next week, hooking up with Lois, and the CW's favorite non-existant shape will take form.

Meantime, Chloe Sullivan will be helping Clark control a new power and doing all the stuff we expect from the true *Lois Lane*. Expect the CW to ignore her even more after that. That's what wonderful and talented actresses get for working for the CW.

Smallville season premiere was good. The Phantom Zone and the phantoms were good. Clark learning how selfless Jor-El was a nice touch. MR really rocked in his Zod personality. The Zod fighting scenes were awesome. Great job by the FX team.
I am not going to vote in the poll because any online poll is manipulatable even the ones with 1 vote per IP address.Because there is no way you can be sure that a person is voting only once. The same person can get different IP address when connecting from different environments.Or a family (married couple) could vote from the same IP address.
I hope CW and TPTB don't concentrate much on ships which has been done for the past 5 years and concentrate more on Clark's development because this Clark has a long ways to go to become Superman

Where is the Chloe/ Clark option?
I wonder...

Why are Clark and Lois even an option for "Best Couple"? As far as I see it, it looks like Clark and Chloe are the ones with feelings for each other.

I have no interest in Clark and Lois. At all. Clark and Chloe is the real love story. Get it right.

This is hillarious. Hey CW... Stop asking us questions if you're not even going to pay attention to our responses!!! You should already know by now what people think about Chlark, and what we DONT think about Clois.

You put "Clark and Lois" in the poll, even though it was Chlark that was shown in Vessel/Zod. Are you all schizophrenic? Do you have a multiple personality disorder? Does your left hand even know what your right hand is doing?

And by the way, you really need to setup your polls so that they accept only ONE vote per IP address, otherwise people will just spam the polls with multiple votes and your results/numbers wont mean diddly squat.

Why isn't Chloe and Clark an option for favorite couple in the poll? Maybe it's cause they know they'll win. Yeah that's probably it. Chlark always wins.

What a wonderful scene. The triangle is clearly set up and we know Clark has feelings, Chloe still loves Clark and Jimmy can even see the power of Teh Chlark.

That scene and the fact that I adored Clark in this episode was the best part of Zod. Oh and having LINO (Lois In Name Only) be unconscious for majority of it was pretty great too. Can she be that way for all her appearances? Please? It's so much better when she doesn't talk.

And to end this post, how freaking gorgeous did Allison Mack look last night? My word. I mean, she's always been beautiful, but damn. She's looking smokin hot this season!!

How amazing was this episode?? I truly loved Martha and her chat with Jor-El, Lionel... a good person.. it still gives me the creeps ;)
Clark really showed emotion here and that moment with Chloe?? Please he was soooo going into the "lest try something" when puff, it went away, I totally enjoyed that moment I have to say, but I can't wait to see them together, this is one of he best couples I have ever seen in TV, they are soooo great together :). And Chloe?? Just awesome in all her scenes.
Allison is as great as always and Tom is just getting better and better!!
More of the Chloe/Clark interaction please!!!
Be well and take care.

I guess the CW doesn't actually look at the show when they post polls. The Chlark was SO blatent, they even ruined continuity to make sure we got the message. Chloe had NOTHING in her hands when she hugged Clark but in a Close Up where we can OBVIOUSLY tell Chloe still has feelings she has pictures in her hand. Now this is bad continuity so keeping it in MEANS something!!!!

And yet the CW poll is completely ignoring the Chlark as SHOWN in the show

*headdesk*

My God that scene between Clark and Chloe was perfect. WE WANT TO SEE MORE CW!!!

Come on, I think we all need to put Chloe and Clark on hold for a while. I think it's good for Chloe to move on for now. If Clark and Chloe are meant to be, it'll happen - and it'll be sweeter after she realizes Jimmy is not the one for her.

Where's the Chloe/Clark option in the poll? I loved the episode, but, IMO, Chloe deserves a lot better than a sidekick, however cute. If this is a sign that Clois is on the horizon, I'll be very sorry. And I'll be outta here.

I did vote for "unconscious Lois", though. *G*

No chlark option? Last night chlark was the heart of the show--with Clark and Chloe's wonderful reunion and his obvious jealousy over Jimmy....They truly are the *couple* of the show!

Where, oh, where is the Clark/Chloe option for favorite couple!
I hope this was an accident, because if Clark is headed for Lois, I have to respectfully head to another channel after five years of viewing.
Overall, I thought the episode was well-done. I was very impressed with the special effects and absolutely loved the tributes to Superman II. Love that Clark is finally growing into Superman, but please put the worthier woman by his side- Chloe. Make her a brunette if it makes you feel better, but don't ruin a couple that has the makings of epic romance in a legendary story.

No Chlark I see. Well I figure there would be no point in putting a couple that would win in a landslide anyway.

The only way Chlark can't win a poll like that is if its not listed.

The more that Chlark are not considered an option, the more viewing options CW is giving a huge group of viewership. Not with other couples on the show, but other shows in the same timeslot.

Icon

Buoyed by the success of Lois and Clark's first bland handhold, the CW naturally insists on a requisite Lois near naked scene for the season.

Stripping or emerging from any old body of water should do the trick. Naturally Clark will be close by looking constipated and the CW would have us believe they're meant to be together. If we're lucky, she might even get dolled up in the "Triangle" dress for a date with the GA with the BDA doing his constipated look again.

Meantime, AM and Chloe continue to win the hearts and minds of fans everywhere. But the CW doesn't need any of that.

Huh. I see ugly betty and the office in my *future*.

Aw Claire, you're killing us here! What about Chlark? It was *right* there for everyone to see at the end and of course, fans and Chlark get shafted. Same old, Same old bias, I guess. So the CW is still going with the theory that if they say "Clois" enough times fans will buy it? Huh. Sure, if you're into the incest thing those two have got going.

BTW, Lois *really* does have to face death to even consider journalism. Huh. Sadly this "Lois Lane" has no self-awareness to make the decision to show an interest in journalism beyond facing death. And this is supposed to be her calling...right! Way to go putting one over the fans, CW. She just keeps getting sadder as each episode passes.

Where's the Clark & Chloe option? That moment in the DP would've been perfect if TPTB wouldn't insist on shoving Nois down our throats -- Clark seemed to want to pursue something with Chloe and she did her trademark "I'm not expecting anything, we can be friends" defense mechanism.

Loved the "Kneel before Zod." line -- gah! that was fantastic! This wasn't the best season premiere, but it wasn't bad either.

I agree with everyone else. Where's Chloe and Clark??? They might not be "hooking up" but you could totally see that he was interested! I voted...

1) It was okay. Maybe expecations were too high...

2) An unconscious Lois

3) Lex and Lana
