The last time I followed the Smallville series was their seventh season. The storyline for that season is so bad that I decided to quit in half way. On that season, the storyline was so absurd and full with filler stories that’s not even patched up to the global plot.
So when season 8 showed up, I’m not really into it. Until one of my friend (A superman enthusiast of his own), convinced me that It’s not like season 7 at all. Everyone agreed that season 7 was one of their worse season yet. So, they change the writer, director, and all of the background crew completely on season 8. The result? Well, I’ve done a Smallville marathon this past weekend and I like what I saw.
This time, they stick to the plan. The stories and events building up to the canonical Superman stories that we know. Well, some part are twisted and bend a bit. Yet, the global plot is right there.
It’s half way through season 8 now, and I’m as excited as I can be for Smallville.

So, when the first two episodes of Lost season 5 aired this Wednesday, every one seems had “Lost” watching it. We’ll okay, probably it’s been too long since the last season aired. But I thought they gave away their special episode 0, which shows you recap of season 4?
If you’re following the Lost stories closely after all this year, I think you might not be Lost seeing the first two episodes. It was started right where season 4 left off. Okay, what we know is that the Island disappeared into thin air but six of them survives, hence the name Oceanic Six, the survivors of the Oceanic 815 flight. Yet actually, they are not the only survivors, they forced to leave the island since it’s disappearance.
Season 5 stories as I understand revolving on how the Oceanic Six struggles to get back to the island, and how the other survivors who still stranded, surviving the new threat on the island. There was a back and forth plot that occurred since the last season, and it will still happen throughout season 5. You will find old characters emerge again and gave meaning as the stories and mysteries unfold.
I’m excited after seeing the first two episodes. Lost never disappointed me, story wise. They consistently provides interesting plot every season.
