I need some help with a skippable viewing of Smallville
I have a pair of students that got hooked by the pilot of Smallville and want to dive into the series proper. The problem is Smallville is a decade long and chock full of mediocre to outright terrible episodes.

Would you guys make any subtractions or additions to this list? There's always a chance that my students will want to jump off before the series ends or will want to skip to the end, so the more suggestions you can give me, the better. It's been a decade since I've seen anything but the pilot, which holds up remarkably well, so my memory is pretty sketchy in regards to specifics of the show.
