My Thoughts:

I am now about half way through this series. And I am still enjoying it quite a bit. I had a few good chuckles watching this disc. I liked all the episodes on this disc... but if I had to pick a favorite... I would probably go with Take My Family, Please because Margaret Cho does some of her stand up routine at the karaoke bar.

Last night I watched the pilot episode of Smallville... some reason after watching season 9 I was in the mood to watch some early episodes. Before I knew it I had watched the entire first disc... and about to pop in disc two.

I don't know how into it I will get... but hopefully it won't be like Lois & Clark where I had to watch the entire series again... because with owning 9 seasons that would definitely take a while.


I shouldn't be surprised... but I couldn't get over how different the cast looked back then. Of course 10 years has gone by now. It was also good to seem some of the characters we haven't seen in a while... like Pete, Lana, Martha & Johnathan Kent.... even though I never liked him too much... even Whitley.

Anyway... about to go grab me some breakfast and pop in disc 2.

[RossRoy]

Careful, that's basically what happened to me. I wanted to start watching S8, then thought to go back and watch the end of S7 to get in the mood .. I ended up rewatching the whole series! But I had blast doing so!

[addicted2dvd]

I am just about half way through the second disc now... and basically feel like I am getting hooked all over again! I think I am in trouble.

My Thoughts:

I just finished watching every episode of the first season. Yes it looks like I got hooked on another one of my old favorites again. I don't know if I will watch every episode I own or not at this point... but if I do it will take me a bit... as I own 9 seasons! But I do know I am ready to start season two. Especially with such a great cliffhanger that season one left off on. It has been a while since I watched these early episodes. It almost seemed weird seeing these characters so young again. But I guess that is to be expected when it comes to a series that lasted 10 seasons! Anyway... I really enjoyed every minute of re-watching the first season... and can't wait to pop in the first disc to season 2!

My Thoughts:

Can you believe it? I actually finished off the entire second season of Smallville in only a day and a half! This season starts the season long story arcs... where season 1 was really nothing more then "freak of the week" type episodes. I enjoy it both... but I am glad to get into the season long storylines now. I really enjoyed every minute of watching the season again... especially seeing Christopher Reeve in one of the episodes. In the early seasons we get to see Clark develop his powers. In season 1 we got to see him get his X-Ray Vision. In season 2 we got to see him get his Heat Vision. So I guess that leaves Super Hearing for season 3.

I am still very much into watching more of the series. So looks like I am about to pop in the first disc of the 3rd season.

My Thoughts:

Just finished season 3. Still very much enjoying watching this series again. We did indeed see Clark get his super hearing this season. We also got another episode with Christopher Reeve. I am now about to pop in the first disc of Season 4! I can't believe I am already up to the season that introduces Lois Lane.

I am now about to pop in the first disc of Season 4! I can't believe I am already up to the season that introduces Lois Lane.

IMO, this is the point where the show gets really good. Lois Lane brings a refreshing dose of energy to the show, and they finally move Lana to the back burner more and more. Gets only better from here on out! See you at the end of Season 9! 

[addicted2dvd]

  at this rate you may be right! But I would hate to think I will watch season 9 again so soon! I just watched them... what?... last week? That is what got me going on Smallville again!

Smallville: The Complete Fourth Season (2004/United States) CLARK KENT will have plenty of reasons to remember his senior year! The thrilling reinterpretation of the SUPERMAN legend evolves in Season 4, whose 22 episodes include the quest for 3 KRYPTONIAN crystals... and Clark's bold attempt to keep those mysterious stones from destroying Earth. Clark also becomes a highly recruited football star. Lana embarks on a new romance and LOIS LANE -- smart, opinionated and entirely annoying to Clark -- comes to SMALLVILLE. This season also shows how Chloe learns the scoop of the century, Lionel becomes a straight-up nice guy (stay tuned), Lex steps further into the darkness and a new calling awaits Clark -- an awakening to a destiny that only he can accept and fulfill.

My Thoughts:

I have now finished season 4! And yes... I am still enjoying re-watching this series very much. Yes... I am indeed hooked again! This season introduced 2 new characters. The first being Lois Lane played by Erica Durance. During it's original run I thought it was too soon to introduce this character. I mean after all... she wasn't supposed to show up until After Clark became Superman. But her being there grew on me quickly. She ended up being one of my favorite characters of the series! She definitely added something to the series. The other new character was Jason Teague played by Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) This character I hated from his very first appearance. There was something about him I just didn't like. Thankfully he is only in the one season. I do however think Jensen Ackles is fantastic on Supernatural. This is also the last season of Clark and the gang in high school.

Now bring on Season Five!!!

Smallville: The Complete Fifth Season (2005/United States) CLARK KENT now carries a full load of classes at Central Kansas U., but that's not all he carries. He carries the full weight of his - perhaps the world's - destiny. "We call this season 'Superman in Training'," series co-creator Alfred Gough says. "Clark is going to accept his destiny." During this exciting pivotal season: The Fortress of Solitude rises. Clark faces rogue KRYPTONIANS. LEX LUTHOR launches a vicious political campaign. The FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE rises. Clark's love for LANA LANG deepens, and he and LOIS LANE remain friendly adversaries. He also crosses paths with AC (aka AQUAMAN), VICTOR STONE (aka CYBORG) and the mysterious Milton Fine (aka Brainiac). A dark tragedy - one even Clark's powers can't prevent - strikes. These and more key elements of Superman lore fall into place. The future MAN OF STEEL grows another year bolder in this bonus-packed DELUXE 6-DISC DVD SET. Episodes: 1. Arrival 2. Mortal 3. Hidden 4. Aqua 5. Thirst 6. Exposed 7. Splinter 8. Solitude 9. Lexmas 10. Fanatic 11. Lockdown 12. Reckoning 13. Vengeance 14. Tomb 15. Cyborg 16. Hypnotic 17. Void 18. Fragile 19. Mercy 20. Fade 21.

My Thoughts:

I finished off the 5th season last night. Another very good season. In this season we have two guest superheroes showing up. First there is Auquaman and then there is Cyborg. This season we also get the first holiday themed episodes. While it don't come out and say it... there is a Halloween episode in Thirst with a vampire sorority. And then there is also Lexmas for a Christmas episode. This is also the season we say goodbye to John Schneider as Jonathan Kent.

The CLARK KENT-LEX LUTHOR rivalry explodes into the fierce good-versus-evil battle fans have long expected in Season 6 of the spectacular series that reinterprets the characters and events of SUPERMAN mythology from its roots. Adding to the rivalry: LANA LANG becomes Mrs. Luthor. Clark would be stunned to find out why she says 'yes'. But that’s not all that’s stunning. GREEN ARROW forms a SUPER HERO league. Will Clark join? PHANTOM ZONE escapees menace Earth. Can Clark stop them? LUTHORCORP expands its dark experiments. Will an awesome KRYPTONITE-powered army be the result?

My Thoughts:

Finished this season earlier this morning. Another great season... enjoyed it just as  much as the previous seasons. While there are episodes I like more then others... when looked at as a whole season by season it remains great entertainment through-out the series. My favorite episode of this season would have to be Justice where we get 4 superheroes besides Clark... being the starts of the Justice League. In that one episode we get to see Clark, Green Arrow, The Flash (code name Impulse in this episode), Cyborg and Aquaman. So I had a lot of fun watching that episode again.

As for special (familiar) guest stars this season... There was a couple. First there was Tori Spelling who played the part of a gossip reporter who had a way of getting to the truth. And then there was Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) who played Chloe's mother.

My Thoughts:

While I still enjoyed this season very much over-all... it has my least favorite storyline of the entire series. That being the Veritas storyline. The episodes dealing with Veritas just didn't hold my interest as much as any of the other episodes. This season does introduce Kara/Supergirl. As for guest stars I am familiar with for this season. There was Dean Cain who played Clark Kent/Superman himself in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.  James Marsters returns in several episodes as Brainiac. This season we also see the long gone  Sam Jones III (Pete Ross) back for a single episode. Gina Holden (Blood Ties) shows up for a single episode as well.

The seventh season aired in 2007. Which is the year of the writer's strike. But we seemed to get lucky for this series... and didn't lose out on too many episodes this time. As this season still has 20 episodes. So I am thankful for that.

  How lucky was it really? Or is least favorite still that good?


There is an episode about Bizarro? That was one of my favorite villains when I read the comics in the 70s, even though I never really knew where he came from. it is pretty much the only one I remember from those days, besides Lex of course.

[addicted2dvd]

yeah... even though it was my least favorite season.... I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

Yup... Bizzaro is in more then one episode. Though they did put their own spin on it. Changed the origin and such. But that don't matter since you said you never knew where he came from anyway.
