What Season 10 of Smallville

Season ten begins at a critical moment: Lois Lane finds Clark near death, with a piece of blue kryptonite lodged in his chest. From there, Clark asks Jor-El for a second chance to become Earth's protector. Dark forces are closing in, and the ghosts of the past push the hero toward the shadows. Lois, Chloe and Oliver carry much of the story, while the government tries to control the vigilantes and Clark wonders whether he should reveal his true identity. The central conflict is choosing between the normal life he wants and the role that is meant for him.
