On Friday, April 8 (8pm), you can relive the very first hour of Smallville, which originally aired on October 16, 2001, on The WB.

The episode features the crash-landing of Kal-El in Smallville, before jumping ahead 12 years to a teenaged Clark Kent (Tom Welling) saving a reckless Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) in a car accident, kicking off their iconic friendship-turned-rivalry-to-be.

Coming full circle, Rosenbaum is set to reprise the role of Lex in the series finale, airing Friday, May 13.
