Smallville - the beginning of Superman

For the last week I've been watching the first four seasons of Smallville. This is a TV Show about Superman, but unlike all movies and shows previously done, this isn't the Superman we already know! This portraits Clark Kent (Tom Welling), (trying to be) a normal guy, discovering his powers throught different occasions. He already knows he is an alien, but where does he come from?

The only thing he knows (at least on the first episodes) is that he's not human, he came from space, along with a meteor shower, and he has certain capabilities that only he and his parents have knowledge. He struggles to help his friends, but he can't tell them the truth, which makes all of his relationships fail.

We all know that he ends with Lois Lane (or at least that she is his love interest), but before Lois, was there another girl?

Yes, her name is Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk), "the most beautiful girl in high school". Her parents were killed by the meteor shower, an she was raised by her aunt.

As for the Superman's friends, we have Pete Ross (Sam Jones III) and Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack). He is his most trustful friend, and she is the director of The Torch (the school newspaper). Just as a curiosity, Chloe wasn't mentioned in any comic book prior to the release of the show, but the comic book writers have now introduced her as a new character. This shows how well created and written the show was.

This show has become one of my favorites, because  any person could easily identify themselves with any of the characters...

My advice: check it out! It's just ten seasons of pure TV greatness!
