The ninth season of Smallville premiered friday night at 8:00 PM. If you have never seen Smallville or do not know what it is about; it is about Clark Kent's life before he was Superman. The series started in his freshman year of high school in Smallville, Kansas and now nine years later they have all grown up and live in Metropolis.
I thought that the sesaon premiere was not as good as other seasons. I thought that much of the episode could have been done differently and that most of the characters lives should have been changed much more than portrayed after the events of the eighth season finale. At the end of the eighth season Lois Lane was at the Daily Planet and put on a ring that sent her to the thirty-first century; at the begining of this sesaon Lois returned but with no memory of what happened. This is totally insane, if I was sent one thousand years into the future I would definitely rememeber, there is no way anybody would forget that. Jimmy Olsen died at the end of the eighth season and this resulted in Clark Kent deciding that it was time for him to fulfil his destiny and become the hero that he was meant to be. At the beginging of the ninth season Clark leaves his Kryptonian training and goes back to Metropolis to see Lois and say goodbye; but all of the problems in Metropolis cause him to stay and put off his training to stop the problems that only he can solve. I thought that it would have been more beneficial for everyone, including Lois, if Clark had not decided to stay in Metropolis because if he finished his training than he would be better equiped to protect the world.
There were some good parts of the show to. One good part of the show was at the very begining when Clark saved a derailed train and used his heat vision to burn the Superman symbol into the next building and everyone gathering around to look at it as he observed from the top of a building. I think that it is great the Clark is finally trying to learn how to fly, because it is insane that every other Kryptonian on the show could fly within minutes of getting their powers but Clark has had his powers for almost 22 years and still can not fly. In my opinion the best part of the episode was when Chloe, Jimmy Olsen's wife, begged Clark to use his time travelling ring to go back in time and save Jimmy from being killed because she thought that it was their fault that he died, and it was. The best part of this scene was when Chlark refused and Chole told him that it was good that Clark was totally embracing his Kryptonian side and suppressing all of his humanity. Overall I would give the premiere of the ninth season of Smallville a 3.5 out of 5
