About Smallville (season 1) in brief

Summary Smallville (season 1)The first season of Smallville began airing on October 16, 2001, on The WB television network. The season comprises 21 episodes and concluded its initial airing on May 21, 2002. The episodes were filmed primarily in Vancouver and post-production work took place in Los Angeles. The pilot broke The WB’s viewership record for a debut series, and was nominated for various awards. The first season was released on DVD on September 23, 2003, and included various special features that focused on individual episodes and the series as a whole. It has also been released on home media in regions 2 and 4 in the international markets. The season’s stories focus on Martha and Jonathan Kent’s attempts to help their adopted son Clark cope with his alien origin and control his developing superhuman abilities. Clark must deal with the meteor-infected individuals that begin appearing in Smallville, his love for Lana Lang, and not being able to tell his two best friends, Pete Ross and Chloe Sullivan about his abilities or his origins. Clark also befriends Lex Luthor after saving Lex’s life. Clark also tries to assert his independence from his father, Lionel Luthor. The season also follows Lex, as he tries toassert his independence from Lionel Luthor. After several episodes, the writers developed a story that would help establish the show as more than a ‘villain of the week’ series. The ninth episode took longer than usual to develop due to its divergence from the standard formula, and demonstrated that Smallville could include more than kryptonite-powered villains.

It was the first episode that managed to bring all the side-stories together that they affected other than Clark and Lana. Two significant storylines: the vengeful serial killer and the second serial killer in the second episode forced the writers to present two, distinct stories in the same episode. The series was noted as having a promising start, and the critical reception was generally favorable. Episode budgets ultimately became strictly regulated, as the show frequently ran over budget during the first half of the season. In the pilot, it was the ‘cool’ kid literally cool, needing human body heat to stay alive, and in later episodes it was ‘the’cool’ kidliterally cool,. needing humanBody heat to staying alive’ In the episode 16, the episode answered the question ‘what if the wrong parents and Clark had been adopted by the wrong people?’ The episodes ‘X-Ray’ and ‘Stray’ were not the best stories, but they were the best way to create the best episodes for Smallville. The episode ‘Hourglass’ was one of the stories that included in the stories included in both the first and second episodes of the first season, and forced the writing staff to present the same story in two separate episodes. The second episode was the episode that forced the Writers to present different stories in two distinct stories: the first serial killer killer and second the serial killer that killed Lana Lang. The third episode ‘Zeus’ was the best episode of season one, and it included the stories of two different characters that affected each other in different ways.
