Go read Amazing Tales #15.
Superman in current continuity didn't start developing his powers untill he was 18, so he already had the strong moral foundation in place by that time.
As for tonight's show it was good and not following current DC continuity at all:

Woohoo! Great episode. Nice to see Clark finally sharing his secret.
My guess is that Dr. Hamilton is going to take the next evolutionary step in Kryptonite poisioning. Earl Jenkins from Jitters was the first.
The preview for the next episode has me thinking of Superman III. Shades of red anyone?

I had issues with it once, but it doesn't bother me much anymore.

Thanks to WB's promo department eagle eyed viewers were clued into whom was going to discover Clark's secret last week. So no suspense there. [Do UPN & WB use the same promo departments??]
I'm wondering what's going to happen to Hamilton. My girlfriend thought the same thing that happened to Jenkins was happening to him. I thought the only thing that was going to happen was he'd lose his arm like the book -- I find myself having to differenciate between the comics & the show. [as explained by Eric F]
Also, the needle stuck Pete, right?

Don't know the actor's name but the guy who played Hamilton was breathing at the begining of the episode just like he was in T2. I wonder if anyone knows what the hell I'm talking about.

I enjoyed this episode as well. At least they gave us the "freaking out" part by Pete and then some coy double entendres as a wink to the audience (the Chloe looking for the "scoop from Pete" bit at school). And finally Pete comes around because he now understands what would happen if Clark's secret got out in the open.
Plus, in the comics, Pete knew Clark's secret as well, so it pays homage to the pre-crisis comics continuity.
Anyone else think Lana's aunt is headed for heartache? I think this new guy that Nell is going to marry is trouble.

Oh well, so I guess the spoilers are out the window when the west coast gets to see it eh?
Yeah, Prof. Hamilton is not dead. Interesting how quickly Pete bailed, didn't even really bother to check to see if he was dead or not. When the Luthors arrived there was no body, and it was obvious the Police weren't called because then Pete and Clark would have to explain what happened.
What I find as really odd was even if they thought the guy was dead why did they just leave him there? Obviously they were hoping he was dead, but they couldn't burry him, or dispose of him in any way. Or really do anything. Then again, if they left the place as-is (Lex clearly saw the ropes and the chair, and the mess), that would cause alot of problems too.
No, the needle didn't stick Pete, although he got spattered with goo when Clark used his heat vision on it.
And I'm reconsidering the Parasite thing (we already had a few life-force sucking villians), I'm leaning more towards Brainiac now, as that makes more sense. Green goo dripping on his head, evil scientist already, etc.
What I find particularly fascinating is what's happening with all these "super-freaks" they're carting away. Where are they going? Is Lex holding them at Cadmus or Lionel at STAR Labs? I assume there are no jails yet like Blackgate or Arkham, so someone is holding all these folks. Who?
Of course this is fiction and it doesn't have to make sense, but even last week's villian, "Pheremone Girl" wouldn't last 2secs in custody. She just could breathe on a guard or judge and get off scott free (no DC-Kirby pun intended).

Pete is going to add alot to the show. He can help Clark have fun with his powers and give him excuses to get away.
This show was better than the cliffhanger from last year and the 1st show from this year.

His name is Joe Morton, and has been in TV for along time.

So Pete's going to have more than two lines an episode now, right?
Especially with Chloe and Lana being buddy-buddy, Pete was kinda left out in the cold. I mean, he had even less to do than he did previously, when at least he was Chloe's sidekick.
Doesn't Lana find it kinda weird that Clark has a telescope that can look directly at her house? And it's a good thing they didn't drag the ship to their barn... Lana or Lex would've stumbled over it.

I really wanted Lana to be the one that Clark told his secret to. I understand, I used to read comics, too, and I'm all for "keeping it faithful to the original," but these past few episodes, Clark & Lana's relationship has become this one-note, "secrets don't make friends" thing. We get it. It was actually kind of nosy for Lana to be all wondering about what Clark & Pete's problem was. If they want to keep it between them, that's their business. Yeesh. Lana's pretty and all, but if I were Clark, I think I'd rather get with Chloe because she's not as "waaaaah, bare your soul to me" as Lana is.
