STORYCONTEXT: **Smallville** (TV Series, 2001 - 2011) 

In one of my favorite shows, *Smallville*, the thing that pulls at you in every episode (season after season) is the question of whether Clark will turn bad. This story happens to be one we already know, but we also know this version of the story is a re-imagining. So there’s a feeling of fate at work, but also the possibility of fate being subverted. We know Lex Luthor is supposed to become Superman’s enemy. But will he in this show? We know Superman is incorruptible. But will that be true this time? These questions are like the light at the end of a long tunnel. We’re looking towards that light (is it sunlight, or some terrible fire?) as we move through the weekly adventures. *\~ August 11, 2005 / Email to Rob McCaskill*
