"Smallville" hits a speed bump, but keep watching

Last night’s “Smallville” seemed kind of lame to me — your basic “meteor-freak” episode that could have fit in way back with the first season. And Lana kept Lex Luthor - and us - waiting to see if she’ll accept his marriage proposal. But she did come to the stunning realization that money, as in Lex’s millions or billions, means power. Duh.

The best part was the coming attractions at the end of the show, showing the Justice League forming to take on the superpowered army apparently being formed by Lex. I’m jazzed.
