The Arrival of the Greatest Superhero on Smallville
5 March 2006
Warning: Spoilers
A meteor shower falls in the city of Smallville, killing dwellers and destroying properties and plantations. The locals Jonathan Kent (John Schneider) and his wife Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole) are found by a baby boy in a destroyed cornfield after crashing their car; they find his spacecraft; and they adopt him. Many years later, while in high school, the shy teenager Clark Kent (Tom Welling) has a crush on his neighbor Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk), the cheerleader girlfriend of the football player Whitney Fordman (Eric Johnson); he has two great friends, Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) and Pete Ross (Sam Jones III). He saves his friend Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) from a car accident; his father tells him his origins from the outer space; he finds his weakness with kryptonite; and although humiliated by Whitney Fordman, he saves his life from a disturbed powerful electric man.

This first episode of "Smallville" series is excellent: very nice cast, wonderful cinematography and music score, and a great story. Could not be better and my vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Piloto" ("Pilot")
