Smallville had one of the best TV pilots out there. And every now and then, they had fun episodes.
But make no mistake, that show had exactly two (2) saving graces: John Glover and Erica Durance. I didn’t like Rosenbaum’s monotonous line deliveries, I didn’t like the Kents, didn’t like the blatant plagiarism from much better shows/movies, I didn’t like Everybody Loves Lana, I didn’t like Chloe’s entitlement, and I sure as hell didn’t like Welling’s passive, wan Clark who could be told his destiny 10 episodes in a row by people from the future and still not embrace it. But Lionel and Lois? God tier.

except that one stupid subplot where Lois was sleeping with the editor. Nearly ruined the whole damned character.
