"Smallville" showed its continued strength by achieving despite heavy competition for male viewership from a highly rated World Series game and Michael Jordan's return to the NBA on TBS. "Smallville" still finished #3 in its time period in adults 18-34 (3.3/8), women 18-34 (3.5/9), men 18-34 (3.1/8), persons 12-34 (3.5/9), women 12-34 (3.8/10) and men 12-34 (3.2/9).

The next episode of "Smallville" is due to air Tuesday October 6th at 9pm and is titled "X-Ray". Here's how Warner Bros. official site describes it:

Clark (Tom Welling) reels from his first flashes of x-ray vision and the shock is compounded when he witnesses an inexplicable bank robbery by his friend, Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum). Unsure how to control this new power, Clark discovers the reason for its arrival as a Smallville teen who has developed shape-shifting abilities threatens Lana (Kristin Kreuk).

Sam Jones III, Allison Mack, Eric Johnson, John Schneider and Annette O'Toole also star. James Frawley directed the episode written by Mark Verheiden.

A preview trailer for "X-Ray" is available to watch at the official Warner Bros. website.

In other "Smallville" news, KryptonSite has managed to gather information on a future episode which is to be titled "Rogue".

Guest starring Kelly Brook, the episode finds Clark taking a visit to Metropolis where he performs a good deed that may reminds people of the first "super" feat that was done by Clark in the "Lois & Clark" pilot episode. Also, a police investigator from Metropolis witnesses the deed, and decides to investigate further, eventually seeing him make a call to Lex Luthor. It turns out the investigator is not looking for information on Lex, but rather for Clark, and he reminds Lex that he knows about his past in order to get him to talk. It appears that the investigator was able to discover that Clark had been around many "accident scenes" in recent months, and he decides to look into it. Has he learned Clark's secret? Tune in when this episode airs in December and find out!
