CSI is a soap opera

It's official. So, is Sam dead?

I watched the series premiere of Smallville last night. It was good, but I don't think it was that great. You kind of feel sorry for Clark though as Chloe snubs him throwing away her long time affection for him to start something with Jimmy and the Fortress is dead severing all ties he had to Jor El, his only connection to Krypton and his powers. Though evidently that's going to come back as Lyonel's connection to Jor El is back. But you wonder if it just came back or if he's hiding it from Clark and Martha. When he wrote 'Power' on the sheet of Kryptonian writing does that mean power for him or is the symbol he wrote Kryptonian for "power."

And didn't it look like there were a few of the prisoners that game through the prison dimension with Clark. So, what happened to them?
