Crusade

It has been three months since the end of Season Three. Clark has been missing and Jonathan is in a coma. When Chloe's cousin Lois arrives in Smallville and Clark resurfaces, it makes one good episode.

Though not quite as good as Season Three premiere, "Exile", "Crusade" is a fantastic episode. The acting is top notch and the special effects are incredible for a weekly TV show! Clark's first flight is one of the most memorable scenes of Smallville ever. Erica Durance is great as Lois bringing charm and sexiness to her role. Martha has a chance to save the day for once and Margot Kidder(Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeve Superman Franchise) guest stars.

Only time will tell where Smallville ends up in TV history, but this episode deserves to be remembered on its own merit. The two exceptionally young producers who launched this show were never better at their craft -- this one has a "film noire" vibe to it, never a dull moment, never a bad performance. Durance makes the most of her character debut, Welling relishes playing his inner Kyptonian, the flight scene is better than most of the movies, and Kruek steals her scenes with an intensity new to her character as well. A standout.

Three months later the last episode, Lois Lane (Erica Durance), the cousin of Chloe Sullivan, drives to Smallville trying to find Clark Kent to help her to find the responsible for Chloe's murder. After the strike of a ray, she loses control of her car, and finds Clark naked with amnesia in a cornfield. She brings him to Smallville Medical Center, where Martha is with Jonathan Kent, who is in a hopeless coma. Martha brings Clark back to the farm, expecting him to retrieve his memory. Meanwhile, Lana Lang has an American boyfriend in Paris, Jason Teague (Jensen Ackles), and is having good time with him. Lex Luthor's blood is poisoned and he travels to bring an ancient object retrieved from an excavation.

The first episode of the Fourth Season shows news characters (Lois Lane, Jason Teague and Bridgette Crosby) and situations. I loved to see Margot Kidder again, the unforgettable Lois Lane of "Superman". Pete Ross left the show, and we do not know what has happened with Chloe. The effect of the black kryptonite is very different and in this episode, the greatest heroine is to Martha Kent, who saves her son and her husband. My vote is eight.
