After a couple of rather lacklustre seasons, the sixth season of Smallville is quite simply the best that the show has so far produced. This season continues to see the introduction of more of the wider DC universe such as the heroes Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter as well as the beginnings of the Justice League. This year also sees the marriage of Lex and Lana, Kryptonian criminals escaping the Phantom Zone and ends with one of the best cliff-hangers the show has yet produced. It is difficult for me to pick a favourite episode of this season but I must say the episode `Noir' is a great change of pace and the season finale `Phantom' is also an excellent episode.
This is not to say that the season is perfect, the CGI is somewhat hit and miss in places and there are still some rather cringe worthy episodes, such as `Static' and `Hydro' but these are far fewer on the ground than in previous seasons. Overall though it seams that Smallville is heading in the right direction and I am greatly looking forward to season seven.
