I thought that was the best opener to a season by a long way. Clark losing his powers was a great switch which I never saw coming. Even the credits were better. Lana even acquired a brain.

Have to agree it was brillant. I cant wait for next week.

I completely agree, it was brilliant.

Does anyone know what the track was they played at the end? It sounded like Depeche Mode. I loved it and have to get hold of it!

yeah i was shocked it didnt make me laugh all. aprt from lanas dont hurt me comment. she was already hurt she probs wouldnt have even noticed a bit more.

Agreed, a great start to the season, and it continues with this level of brilliance from what I've seen of S5 so far.

It is Depeche Mode, it's there track called "Precious". It's included on the "Smallville - The Metropolis Mix: Vol 2" album.

I've got the album, it's good I'd recommend it.

Nice one - thanks v much for the info. I will order the album today!

yay. i cant wait till next monday

Absolutely, brilliant start to the new season. I hope Clark and Lana stay together for at least this season..

Bliss ! It was worth the wait and I was amused to see who is playing the oily Zod.

That wasn't Zod.

I already saw so I didn't bother watching it again but yeah it worked well. Seeing as I haven't downloaded any episodes since Arrival, I'll look forward to some and dread others (Thirst, Exposed).

I bought a freeview box last week, just so I could watch Smallville in time for the start of the new season...

It's still not working!!!! Grrrrr!!!

Damn my weak signal. Damn it all to Hell!!!

I've been out today and got a signal booster and a length of coaxial cable, so I WILL have it for next week! (Luckily my Brother has Sky+'d monday's - Phew!)

Repeated Sunday night on E4 if you miss Mondays

i have freeview in my room.

i watch it on e4 on mondays as the catch up episode is always cut - same with invasion when they showed the episode on c4 i noticed it had been cut. or it could be me unable to keep my eyes open for long enough - lol

When the episodes are screened at 9pm, I'm about 99% sure that they are NOT cut from the original. When shown on Sunday, when it airs at 7pm? I think, some scenes are cut due to watershed rules. This is true for when the seasons have been rescreened in the past, i.e. when they are shown at 3pm and 6pm during the weekdays.

what a shame the great start didnt continue that has to be right up there with ageless for boringness. the guy playing the electric dude couldnt act.

great punch from lex though

I sort of agree. Admittedly the bad guys were a little lame, but the overall story was quite good. The idea of Lex 'testing' Clark was cool, and their fight scene at the end and subsequent arguement shows their friendship is definately on the wane. Lex's shock at Clark bleeding and being hurt was a sight to behold. Clark and Chloe now also have proof of the existence of Level 3. I thought it may have been better if the BelleReve link with Clark had been built on a bit more, and a few more questions asked by Lana in that respect.

Still, 2 episodes in and no terrible episodes yet. There are some that follow though!

lana isnt clever enough tto figure it out though.

i loved the clark chloe stuff that was great.

lexs punch was great
