More Human Than Human - 
by J-Unit
Among the season premieres that have come our way over the last couple of weeks, there were few that I had anticipated more than Smallville. Sometimes I am afraid that Smallville will always be doomed by obscurity, and that mass appreciation will come too late. Then again, I really can't complain that much since Smallville has had four seasons and the network execs are committed to the fifth. Unfortunately, Smallville has moved away from its little corner of the world on Wednesdays and is now fighting with many other programs for viewers at the Thursday 8PM time slot. Since the TVgasm offices are now equipped with three Tivos, I won't have to worry about missing an episode and will continue to bring the recaps to you. But I have to admit, when I heard the master plan to move the show, I wondered if it was going to have enough eyes watching to warrant another season. Hell, I was worried the writers wouldn't come up with episodes that were worthy of another season. After the season premiere, I can say that I am not so worried about the second of my concerns, which will hopefully take care of the first.
When we last left our not-so-caped crusader, a meteor shower had just hit Smallville. Lex had almost figured out his secret after following him into the cave, Lana almost died after her helicopter crashed; then there was a huge black spaceship, and his parents were buried somewhere under the rubble of their house after a meteor hit it. Although, to be fair, they were likely going to be shot or something by Jason Teague, so maybe that meteor hitting the house was a blessing in disguise. Lois made her way to the Kent house, and she found Jonathan there, looking for Martha. They found her under a pile of debris. She was hurt badly, but it looked like she would make it, and they took her to the hospital. The whole time I was waiting for Jason to come out and make a last gasp or something, but he didn't show up. He couldn't have made it out, could he?
