Boring and Pointless Episode

While in the roof of the barn, Jonathan Kent is contacted though the octagonal key and Clark Kent saves him from a fall. Clark goes to the Kawatche caves with the key trying to find an explanation for what happened, when Lionel Luthor unexpectedly appears. Lionel Luthor meets Dr. Virgil Swann (Christopher Reeves) and proposes an association to investigate Clark. The FBI bugs Lex to make a surveillance and get evidences against Lionel Luhtor, and Clark becomes a suspect due to the interest of Lionel in an apparently simple "farm boy". Lana Lang does not decide whether she wants to stay with Clark or not.

I found "Legacy" a boring and pointless episode, with many inconsistent situations spread everywhere and none of them satisfactorily resolved. The romance of the mumbling crybaby Lana Lang and Clark Kent is very irritating. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Legado" ("Legacy")
