Having been transported to the Fortress of Solitude, Clark is confronted by Jor-El, who tells him he can't return to Smallville, instead he must stay and prepare to save the planet. Also, transported to the Fortress is Chloe. She is unable to handle the sub-zero temperature and collapses, begging Clark to use his powers to save her. Jor-El forbids him to leave, but finally acquiesces, telling Clark he must return before sunset or there will be dire consequences. Meanwhile, Lana is horrified when she sees two kryptonians emerge from a spaceship discovered in the remnants of the meteor shower. The two aliens destroy what's left of the town searching for Kal-El. This was a pour way to start the season. It's lucky to be given one star - for the kryptonians. Really this episode was horrible, but it did feature a cameo apperance by James Marsters as Brainiac. This is his first role since playing Spike on Buffy, The Vampire Slayer and Angel. I wonder if they'll bring him on as a regular next season like they did with Lois Lane this season.
