We’re kicking off our Smallville Season 9 rewatch with “Savior,” and wow, what a season premiere. Lois Lane finally returns after her mysterious disappearance, Clark is rocking the all-black look while trying to embrace his Kryptonian destiny, and the show wastes no time setting up a season full of mystery, danger, and some seriously intriguing future teases. We talk about Lois being front and center where she absolutely belongs, why Brian Austin Green’s John Corben is such a great addition to the cast, Clark’s struggle between humanity and destiny, and just how much we love the setup surrounding Lois’ dream and what it could mean for everything that’s coming. Between the return of Lois, the arrival of Zod, the rise of the Blur, and one of the strongest season premieres the series has delivered, this one had us excited from beginning to end.
