From Hydro through Freak it's just been Smallville at its best.

And those are the new episodes that I've seen. *g*

I hadn't seen the spoiler for Chloe so I was rather shocked by it, but in a good way. I feel so sad for her.

I'm also liking Lana more now than I do in the earlier season episodes or even season 4, though I've never disliked her.

I've liked every episode that I've seen so far this season, and I'm still loving whatever season I'm watching in syndication now. I think it's still season 1.

I didn't realize that TW and MR were directing now either. That's cool. Which episode did TW direct?
