Yeah, as I would marathon each season in about a weekend, I probably skipped all of the recaps.

How about this ...

1.1 -- "Pilot"
1.4 -- "X-Ray"
1.6 – “Hourglass”
2.17 – “Rosetta”
3.5 – “Perry”
4.1 – “Crusade”
4.22 -- "Commencement"
5.1 -- "Arrival"
5.7 – “Splinter”
5.22 -- "Vessel"
6.1 – “Zod”
6.3 -- "Wither"
6.19 – “Nemesis”
6.22 -- "Phantom"
7.1 -- "Bizarro"
7.6 – “Lara”
7.9 – “Gemini”
7.10 -- "Persona"
7.20 -- "Arctic"
8.2 – “Plastique”
8.11 -- "Legion"
8.18 -- "Eternal"
9.1 -- "Savior"
9.7 -- "Kandor"
9.20 – “Hostage”
9.21 -- "Salvation"
10.1 -- "Lazarus"
10.18 -- “Booster”
10.21-10.22 -- "Finale"

I'll look over the descriptions of the episodes @ IMDB tomorrow when my eyes start working again.
Not much love for season 2 and 3, though, huh?

Well, there's less continuity and more self-contained stuff in the early seasons. In the later seasons, not as many episodes stand on their own.

But this order does mean that you end up rushing through high school pretty quick, for a series that's all about Clark in high school.

I can always make adjustments, if you don't like what you see here!

I remember quite liking the "Justice League" episode, or at least the assembly of a super team in
Season 6, E. 11, "Justice." Does that one take too much lead up to work?

Likewise, no room for Absolute Justice, S 9, E 11. Again, I liked the Justice Society. I always preferred
the JSA to the JLA.

In contrast, I don't much remember much liking the Legion of Superheroes, but, obviously, a Superboy
series needs to do something with the Legion.

S4.E6 ∙ Transference, was pretty good, too, with Lionel learning Clark's powers by possessing his body somehow, I forget how.
S4.E14 ∙ Krypto, maybe? Because it's Krypto.
S5.E12 ∙ Reckoning, perhaps?
S6.E4 Arrow, perhaps?
S8.E10 Bride, perhaps; doesn't it lead well into E11?

Anyway, just some suggestions. I don't know what would be cut to replace any of them from your list.

I can certainly try to get those in. The Justice League and JSA stuff does take up a lot of time acreage, but if that's the stuff you like, we can squeeze it in.

Here we go. Twenty-eight episodes, since two of the ones listed ("Absolute" and "Finale" are double-sized.)

1.1 -- "Pilot"
1.4 -- "X-Ray"
2.17 – “Rosetta”
4.1 – “Crusade”
4.4 -- "Run"
4.6 - "Transference"
4.14 - "Krypto"
4.22 -- "Commencement"
5.1 -- "Arrival"
5.4 -- "Aqua"
5.12 -- "Reckoniing"
5.15 -- "Cyborg"
5.22 -- "Vessel"
6.1 – “Zod”
6.4 -- "Arrow"
6.11 -- "Justice"
6.22 -- "Phantom"
7.1 -- "Bizarro"
7.20 -- "Arctic"
8.2 – “Plastique”
8.10 -- "Bride"
8.11 -- "Legion"
9.1 -- "Savior"
9.7 -- "Kandor"
9.11 -- "Absolutte Justice" (double-sized)
9.21 -- "Salvation"
10.1 -- "Lazarus"
10.21-10.22 -- "Finale"

I am okay with just a sample of the JLA. I liked the get together of the team, but wouldn't necessarily require,
for example, the origin episode of Cyborg. I think a new audience could just accept that there were other people
with super powers and that they knew Calrk already. When I get a chance, I will go back and consider instead the
episodes that you discarded. Some of those can probably be restored. I am interested in considering the ones that
you were willing to lose.

I feel that I have failed the Beach-man.

You gave me two good lists. Hardly a failure in anybody's book.

As long as each list contains the episode Covenant, it's a good list, IMO.

I wonder when we'll see a movie, possibly a documentary, about the Alison Mack Sex Cult?

I'm surprised Doot hasn't written a musical about that by now...

I HAVE

I knew the world could count on you to do this vitally important work.

Note to self. Index is on page 85.

Is this the title of the Alison Mack Sex Cult musical?

Oh, oh, … I sense a Smallville Monday song coming up. Something, something… Tom Welling, underwear.
But no tights, and no flights, just kryptonite monster of the week fights.

It is awfully catchy.

Ha!

That wasn't the reason, BUT ... it is a good idea. So you may have just inspired something.

Then my work here is done.
