Lana’s boyfriend Whitney looks like Pete Ross, and should be him. Of course, the token black guy could not be called Whitney, cause then people would think of Whitney Houston, who is female.
WWB reran the two episodes last night. They are not so bad at second viewing, when you’ve kind of gotten use to the show. But how many people with super-human powers can there be in Smallville. Next week it’s Dan Laurie of Wonder Years as a coach who can control fire with his mind. I ask you…
And if they weren’t they could just get Leo from Charmed to fix them. Don’t get me wrong, I love Charmed, but even I nearly feel out of my chair when he healed a stab-wound…in both the person and their shirt. Healer, tailor, who knew?
I think an upcoming episode may have Clark rebelling against his father saying “at least I don’t need a car to fly!”
FTR, it is Warner Bros. They do own the rights to the General.

well, in the first episode, Lex as a child, when the meteor hits, appears to be 5 or 6 years old, while Lana appears to be… well, 4 or 5 years old. I’m not sure.
But anyway, ther emust be something wrong with me. I just cannot find any physical attraction to the girl who plays Lana. Now, the woman who plays Clark’s mom, however…
:: The Mick has some impure thoughts::
Mick, Lex said in the pilot that he was nine when the meteorites hit, so he’d be 21 now. Probably just graduated from Harvard Business School or something like that, and moved out to Smallville to run dad’s business.
Why did he drive up, look at the plant, and say, “Thanks, Dad.”? Did Dad die and leave him gigabucks? If so, why are they referring to his dad as owning the Metropolis Sharks?
Well, last night was the third episode of the series, and I feel they are getting worse by the week. I mean, what’s next, paving the main street with Kryptonite? Why must there be Kryptonite everywhere? Isn’t it supposed to be rare? Don’t the people who pick up the rocks notice that they have weird green-glowing bits in them? Also, I don’t remember who mentionned it, but it does seem like a bad X-files/Dawson’s Creek crossover. I’ll watch the next episode, though. Just to see how low it will all go…
Thought of a mistake in the pilot. My bro actually thought of it. Anyway, remember when Clark is on the cross? He’s not wearing anything, except his boxers. But in the next scene, after Lex has helped him down, and he’s after electro-scarecrow-boy, he’s fully clothed. I’m guessing WB thinks being stripped down to your boxers isn’t dignified enough for fighting electricity people. Unless Clarke just ran at the speed of light back home to change. Is he really that vain? 
Also, wasn’t the football coach the same guy from “Wonder Years”?
I’m glad somebody else said it first; I was worried I was going to sound like a whiner.
How has Clark managed to survive into adolescence with the backs of his hands turning green and shriveling up every fifteen minutes? You’d’a thunk he’d been dead long since.
Yes, he was the dad from the wonder years. Probably the best actor on that show. He always gets type-cast though…
Also, is there anything Kryptonite can’t do? It can create electro-freaks, bugboys, pyrocoaches, all that plus shrivel Clark’s hands…
And boy do Clark’s hands heal quick! One second, he’s close to dying, the next he’s kicking butt… Of course! :rolleyes:
We see Clark scramble after his clothes right after Lex gets him off the cross.
My biggest concern with this episode was that it was partially set in a locker room and the only guy we saw in a towel was the coach.
I understand the points people have made about the kryptonite (or “meteorite rocks,” since it’s not called kryptonite yet), but I’m not really bothered by it. I figure kryptonite is Smallville’s version of the Hellmouth.
Lex’s dad is still alive; he was in last night’s episode. Lex was griping about being forced to work and live in the hinterlands.
About last night’s show: I don’t care if you can start fires with your mind; how the hell do you make WATER burn?!?!?!
