Smallville, Season 3

Everyone has a future. Clark Kent has a destiny — if he’s willing to accept it and to master all the awesome powers and responsibilities that come with it. In an event-packed third season, the fascinating reinterpretation of the Superman mythology and its classic characters continues as Clark embraces the dark side and Jonathan Kent strikes a devil’s bargain with Jor-El to rescue his son. Other highlights include the debut of Perry White and the villainous Morgan Edge. And with Lois Lane on the horizon, the secret of Clark’s true identity burdens Pete, obsesses Lex, and drives a wedge between Lana and Clark. The season starts with a charge with the two-part episode (Exile/Phoenix) featuring a father/son superfight to remember. There’s also Lex’s descent into madness (Shattered), a Lana/Choe catfight, kryptonite bullets, and an awesome season finale (Covenant). With Clark honing in on a sensational new power, the challenges of today shape tomorrow as never before in Smallville.
