Smallville - Pilot

Smallville session 1, episode 1 - Pilot.




This is the first episode of smallville launched at year 2001 - 2002. The great starting story. Every show needs a strong pilot, and Smallville has a pretty great one that establishing the main story and characters in a simplistic, yet interesting way.


The story as begins nearly 20 years ago, when the meteor shower lays waste to most of the town, bringing the infant Kal-El (Clark) to Earth. Brought up as Clark Kent, his foster parents decide to tell him of his origins, now that he is a teenager. Keeping his abilities a secret, he is forced to help Lex when his car spins off the road, granting him a new “friend” in the process.


Lex made friend with clark after his rescue; the fact that meteor rocks hurt him, and that his love for Lana is planting him in trouble with her boyfriend Whitney (Eric Johnson). With some nice moments of sly humour, and clever foreshadowings of the future, the first episode is one of the better instalments from this season.
