This may be something created for Smallville because we always believed there were only five types of Kryptonite ....
There are five distinct varieties of kryptonite (green, red, gold, blue, and white), the first three of which are toxic to Superman.

Apparently when combined with a mother's love Black Kryptonite causes someone who has fully embraced their Kryptonian destiny to ... um... not embrace it. Right.
On another note, is Lionel no longer suffering from that rare liver disease? At the end of last season he was about to die; now there was no mention of it and only his looming murder sentence was discussed.

Those are the varieties I was aware of (not white though).

moment. But I was reminded that the WB's target audience wouldn't even realize that there was a movie based on Superman...Or, as so eloquently stated elsewhere in this thread...
"Screw the Superman comics and the previous stories. This is a different show that is not going to basically retell the comics word for word. If you want that from this show, it's your own fault for expecting that. Go reads the comics and stop watching Smallville."

I also noticed the Martha Kent asscrack, and I also was wondering who the hot chick in the hospital was until I realized it was Clarks parents 
I also thought it was dumb the way Clark reacted to the empty coffin. She died in an explosion, there wouldn't be anything left of her body to bury. I really hope she's not still alive. The fact that she wasn't in the opening credits gives me hope.

Maybe he just needs to get hooked up to Lex's "blood purification" machine.

It was nice that while all the other characters got to act in actual plots, Lana was relegated to a being in a music video (sans the music) Every scene she was in looked like a music video, especially the posed way she woke up in her apartment and the over-acted shower scene.

The entire Lana sub-plot was getting on my nerves - I thought I was watching an old video on MTV, too.

Other than a quick way to wrap up the episode (how else are you going to stop Clark with his super powers and all while he's under a spell?), that black Kryptonite wasn't fully explained. How did Dr. Swann know what it was intended for? Since he knows the Kryptonian language to an extent, he might have come across other artifacts relating to Krypton unbeknownst to Clark.
The line about "a mother's love" suggests it was not only Martha, but Lara as well. If the show is suggesting that Jor-El wanted his son to take over the Earth to start or rule a new civilization or whatever, maybe Lara wanted the opposite and realized that he could be sent to Earth with good intentions. This was even alluded to last season when he had the flashbacks of his final moments as an infant on Krypton. Throughout the series, Clark is apprehensive that Jor-El will make him into some kind of conqueror and turn against his friends. But when he had the vision of Lara and the compassion she shows, he thinks a little differently about his heritage.

It's going to be a great season. Like the new Lois and the new love interst for Lana and they have started a mystery that should be interesting to see unravel.
"Lost" looks to be a great show but I could never understand what anyone saw in That 70's show. Very unfunny and nowhere near the quality of Smallville even on an off season.
Or Angel would show up and say, this is my timeslot, vamp and kill everyone.
But sorry, Lost and the final season of That 70's are sure to provide better entertainment for me.

So we are all in agreement that the Margot Kidder appearance was pretty stupid?
