Everywhere's Gone Smallville Crazy!

The reviews are coming in thick and fast for 'Arrival', tonight's season five premiere of Smallville.
From Now Playing:
From Eclipse Magazine:"Despite the disappointingly circuitous route it took to get there, the fourth season ended on a high note, and it appears as though the fifth season will carry on that momentum. The premiere offers a lot of satisfying answers, but also presents some new questions that hopefully set the tone for the year."
Rating: A
And from Hercules at Ain't It Cool News:"Is Smallville back on track? One episode isn’t enough to really make that call, but the groundwork is definitely being laid for that to be the case - which is good for the show as it opens in one of the most hotly contested timeslots in primetime."
Rating: B-
And the verdict is all but unanimous: though far from flawless, this may be the best episode in quite a long time. And it's now only hours away! And I've just realised that I've posted the exact same reviews as Craig! I could have saved myself some time and pointed everyone over there."The good news for me and those like me? You don’t have to have seen any part of season four to enjoy the season-five opener. It does a swell job of catching you up on who now knows Clark is Superboy, what Chloe is doing [mumble spoiler mumble], where the Lex-Clark relationship stands, and any other questions that might niggle at you."
Rating: 3 out of 5

Why do they keep saying that the Season 4 premiere, and the season itself, was a flop? I totally disagree; I thought Season 4 was by far the best season so far. Some critics underestimate Smallville, but I think it's a great show.
