Summary: SMALLVILLE HITS ITS STRIDE
Review: I have to admit when I first heard about Smallville I had many doubts. A show about "Superboy" essentially??? No costume? No Flying? But the producers succeeded in making a superhero show that is not about a superhero. Tom welling's brilliantly downplayed role as the young Clark Kent, learing and coming to grip with his powers has been a wonderful surprise to TV viewers and a nice addition to the Superman mythology without making any drastic changes. While the first season was kind of a "monster of the week" routine with Clark battling a new Kryptonite spawned villian each week, Season two really hits it's stride. A plot thread is begun exploring just who Clark is and why he is on the Earth...and it may not be very pleasant. We see More development of Lex and Lionel Luthor as they battle over their company, the Kents, and Lex's soon-to-be wife. Clark finds out about his father, Jor-El...and Jor-el wants Clark to do his bidding. I won't go over all the episodes but hear are some of the season two highlights: "Heat" Clark discovers a new power...heat vision. "Duplicity" Clark's best friend, Pete, discovers Clarks Secret. I still don't like that this happened myself. "Red" Clark gets his class ring only to find out it was made of red kryptonite. Red Kryptonite effects Clarks mind. Making him arrogant, rebellious, removing his inhibitions, and he abuses his powers. "Suspect" Lionel Luthor is shot at the beginning of the episode turning this one into an old fashioned "who done it". Suspects abound including jonathan kent and Lex. "skinwalker" Clark discovers some ancient caves with drawings on the wall that reveal secrets about his origins. "Rosetta" Perhaps the most important episode of the season. Clark discover the octagonal key to his ship also perfectly fits into a spot on those ancient cave walls. When he inserts the key, he is grabbed by a high power. Later, Clark goes to meet a myserious scientist played by Christopher Reeve. He reveals to Clark that he picked up a strange transmission during the meteor storm that brought Clark to Earth...And He reveals Clarks real name..Kal-El. "Exodus" The season finale and cliffhanger. Clark Destroys his ship but in doing so his parents are cought in the blast and martha loses the baby. Distrought..Clark puts on his red Kryptonite ring and heads for Metropolis. Meanwhile, Lex's new wife drugs him, and sends him off in an unmanned plane, straight to the ocean. Episode two really began developing the major characters especially Clark, Lex, and Lionel Luther. The series gets stronger and stronger!

Summary: Up!Up! and awwayyyy!
Review: What a fabulous series! Like certain other favorites of mine, I can watch each episode over and over again. And why is this? Because the show works on so many levels that it not only appeals to every generation but the multi-layered plotting is an insatiable magnet. Lets first put a bottom line on this show---the Luthors are the show. Without their conniving, with each other and others, there's no draw for the adults in the audience. Yes, the kents are familiar and comfortable, both the actors themselves and the iconic figures that they portray, but Lex and his father do it for me. Thanks to them we're able to get away from the Nightstalker Kolchak type monster or weirdo of the week. Now in seasons two and three we're hip deep in personal intrigues. For the younger generation we have Clark and his friends and the ongoing sturm and drang of his love-life with Lana.
The show just keeps getting better and better, month by month, year by year. Whata fabulous arc of quality. By the way, Tom Welling was approached to play Superman in the proposed movie, but couldn't find time away from the series to do it. It's the logical choice of course. Warner should wait until the series ends its seven year run and put Tom in the blue spandex.I would love to see the series end with him finally posing in front of a mirror in the iconic outfit and the show just fades out with the lingering Superman music they sneak in from time to time.

Summary: Jumping the shark
Review: The first season was entertaining, at least. OK, it's Superman in his teen days. Why not? I can ignore the fact it's in modern day (or at times in the near future) as opposed to the original Superman universes, I can forgive Lex Luther's odd part in the story, and I can forgive the WB melodrama. But sadly, as the seasons drag on to Part 2, it gets just plain dull. And ridiculous. That fun of seeing Clark Kent going through puberty is replaced by typical WB fare. Why add a love triangle that strays from the original series of events? Why increase villains? I find it aggravating that the writers choose to make it seem like every one grew up in Smallville, and hence why every Superman character seems to be present there. Episodes no longer run like the Superman universe, they merely become more WB trash. If you like "Charmed" and you know nothing of the Superman story, you might like this. It's basically that story except three young women are replaced with one young man. The storytelling methods are oddly similar. Then again, a lot of the WB is similar.

Summary: And we thought season 1 was good!
Review: The first season of WB's young Superman show "Smallville" was great, but season 2 completely tears it apart and steps on the pieces. Clark gains new powers and a new confident; Lex and his father (John Glover, now a series regular) take their power struggle to the next level; Lana discovers her dad and moves in with Chloe; more is revealed about the day of the meteor shower; and in a surprising appearance by Christopher Reeve, the overall mythology is pushed further along than anyone could've expected. It all culminates in a shocking season finale that completely tears apart the series even more than the twisters did the first time around. If I have one gripe with Smallville though, it's that the show writes off its supporting cast way too quickly. A few characters that we remember from season 1 take their last bow here (including Eric Johnson as Whitney), and new supporting characters introduced this season don't seem to last very long. This problem has grown more obvious as Smallville rapidly approaches the end of season 3. Hopefully it's something the series writers will take into consideration for future seasons. Season 2 looks to be another decent set from WB. There are a few more extras this year, including the "Chloe Chronicles" that were featred on AOL, and commentary by the cast. If you like Smallville, grab this box set. It's probably the strongest season of the series thus far.

Summary: The Best Show on TV
Review: Smallville is an awesome show. The first season on DVD was great and Season 2 will be joining us shortly. If you don't know the story of Smallville yet, it's pretty simple to follow. Tom Welling plays a teenage Clark Kent. He still lives with parents Martha(O'Toole) and Johnathon(Scheinder) Kent. They live in a small farm in the small town on Smallville, Kansas. Clark is in love with Lana Lang(Kruek) who he goes to high school with. Clark is best friends with the local billionare playboy Lex Luthor(Rossenbaum). Lex is in the town proving he can one day lead the business his father Lionel(Glover) had made. Clark has two other good friends from school Chloe(Mack)who is the high school paper editor. Pete(Jones)is Clarks lifelong best friend and is the only one other than his parents that knows of Clarks secrets. In Smallville we have a young Clark Kent who has yet to develop all of his powers and abilities. He is struggling to be normal and has to coup with the problems of daily teenage life. His biggest struggle is doing that with the struggle to keep his abilities a secret and lead a normal life. Season 2 is a great addition onto this TV show. There are some great episodes in this season. The first good one they did was "Heat." In Heat Clark develops his heat vision powers. It's fun watching him as he learns to coop and deal with it. He can't control it at first and struggles with it. To make matters worse there is Lex's new fiance a guest appearnce by the lovely Krista Allen. She has the abilites to seduce men to do her wants and she is running the town amuck. Clark must get his powers under control and stop her. Rosetta is one of the best shows the series did. It guess stared everybodies favorite Superman Christoper Reeves. He plays a Dr. that can explain the local cave painting to Clark, and he is one of the few people that know his secret. Red was another great episode. In this episode Clark gets some Red Kryptonite. Red kyrptonite makes Clark act not normal and he kind of acts the opposite of him normal self. Theres some hot blonde that co-stars in this episode and this episode is just fun. There are some other turning point episodes in the series. In Skinwalkers Clark finds out about some mysterious caves that prophesy about him. These will play a huge roll in season three. Lex has a girlfriend and they get married in the season finale of 2. There relationship develops throughout the season. Clark and Lana also shine in this season. Whitney is out of the way and Clark can finally go after her. This is a great show and Season 2 is a great continuation of it. I love all 23 episodes of it. The episodes are spread out over six discs. The season contains some nice extras. Two of the episodes contain guest commentary and some deleted scenes. The set contains the Chloe chronicles which were some short videos of her talking about the weirdness in Smallville. Theres a gag reel and an interview with Christopher Reeve. We also get a special on the special effects of Smallville. The show also can be viewed in widescreen format. Like I said, I'm very excited that this show is finally out on DVD and will be here in less than a week. This is the best show on television and nothing is better than watching it whenever you want to. If you like the show you have to get it on DVD.

Summary: Good buy...
Review: I'm one of those Smallville fans that didn't like season 2 except for a few episodes like, Rosetta, Insurgence, Suspect, Heat, and Calling. I will say that the extras are great and they makes this dvd set a very good buy.

Summary: Somebody Save Me!
Review: I absolutely love this show! Like I said in reviewing Smallville Season 1, this is escapism at it's best. The story lines are not only very creative and well written but the sexual tension bewtween Clark and Lana is amazing! I just wish they'd hurry up and do it already!
