5 March 2006
Warning: Spoilers
The coach of the football team – "The Crows" – of Smallville high school Walt Arnold (Dan Lauria) is close to his victory number 200 along twenty-five years of a successful career. He is exposed to burning kryptonite ore in the sauna, and achieves the power of burning whatever he wants. The new-arrival Principal James Kwan (Hiro Kanagawa) finds that seven athletes cheated in the Mathematic test, and decides to punish the group not permitting them to participate in the final game. Coach Walt burns his car, and Mr. Kwan goes to the hospital. Meanwhile Clark Kent is invited by the coach and decides to join the football team, against the will of his stepfather Jonathan. When Coach Walt Arnold loses control of his power, Clark has to fight with him to save Jonathan and his friend Chloe Sullivan.

Although not liking American football, this third episode of Smallville follows the excellent standard of high-quality of the previous episodes. The charming cast, the great cinematography and special effects and the music score make another great episode. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Pegando Fogo" ("On Fire")
