Silver-Age Smallville, Part II
More comments on Season 4:
I got a kick out of the college football episode, not for the story itself, but for the fact that they named the villian 'Geoff Johns' and referred to him by his full name every time they possibly could. Usually to say something bad...
As for the actual season metaplot...meh. Starts out by completely failing to pay off the 3rd season finale. Continues by introducing the stones/elements business which is apparently simultaneously of the utmost possible importance and able to be subordinated to whatever minor problem of the week comes along. Gives Lana far too much screen time. And more-or-less abandons the 'Is Jor-El evil? Or is it really Zod pretending to be Jor-El' meta-metaplot of the first 3 seasons.
Probably it for now, that is.
