Smallville: The Essentials

Sourced, but not cross-checkedHow paths are chosen

The freak-of-the-week format dominates the early seasons and thins out as the Kryptonian mythology takes over, so most of what comes out is front-loaded. Drawn from published episode guides which disagree with each other in several seasons; those conflicts were resolved by judgement, not by consensus.

For a first-time viewer who wants Clark's story and not the meteor freaks.
