A DARKNESS LOOMING: This is going to be a tough part for me to talk about simply because I feel like quoting a lot of things from the fourth act and certain conversations that take place between Clark and both his fathers. One is for sure the writers have wasted no time in setting up the major crisis and obstacle Clark must face — sure there will be some of that manifested in the already publically announced villain, Darkseid, all slowly throughout the season we suppose — but we have always known that that his biggest challenge for Clark has always been himself. Its how this obstacle will strike a new chord in the final season that makes this final season interesting, at least we hope.
A HOUSE OF CARDS: I enjoyed watching this premiere episode and for the most part its positive and I believe that fans will be happy, however I feel like there is some negative areas to point out. My negative influx is that the episode moves so fast in trying eliminate the last season events while creating new things of interest, its hard to follow because it has to reintroduce the characters in their old predicaments while putting them into new ones. In fact the whole plotline revolving around Tess and the Luthorcorp lab is so weird its almost distasteful, the only thing that makes it interesting is the reveal and possible season long tease of a former beloved villain, one fans have been clamoring about on the web for months. The reason I feel like this is a negative in the episode is that the tease could eventually be for not and the hopes of the fans for this return could be nothing more than a house of cards ready to fall.
LOIS AND CLARK: I was totally all about this and glad the writers didn’t waste an interesting plot point of Lois knowing Clark’s secret. Remember when Chloe found out Clark’s secret? she tried to get Clark to make the reveal to her? Lois is now in the same situation and there is such an awesome scene between the two in The Daily Planet, that is pretty cute and charming. I love the Lois and Clark relationship on Smallville and think that is the one thing the writers have done almost perfect. I am also glad the writers have no intention for the typical “Clark secret memory wipe” this season. Ultimately, this is a love story that means a lot more this season and possibly more than any other love story in the series.
TO CONCLUDE: Ultimately, the fourth act of the premiere is the meat of the show and I think there is a lot to be excited about this season and what its building towards...
