Smallville: The Final Season [DVD]

Smallville Season 10 is the culmination of a 10 year journey which set out to follow the life of a young Clark Kent as he accepts his destiny and becomes Superman. So did Smallville go out with a bang or a whimper?
I for one love the final season of Smallville....whenever you are trying to finish off a story it can be difficult especially with a character as iconic as Superman and with the weight of 10 years of expectation but amazingly it manages to produce an end that is befitting of a superman.
This season really is all about how Clark Kent finally becomes Superman and almost every episodes deals with this acceptance of destiny. The season kicks of where season 9 ended with Clark Kent falling to his apparent death....this episode kicks off the season on the right note, with nods to the past seasons as well as hints for what the future holds. This season has so many memobrable episodes such as Homecoming, the 200th episode that is one of the best episodes have ever produced, other highlights include: Supergirl, Harvest, Abandoned, Luther, Icarus, Fortune (one of the funniset Smallville episodes ever!), Kent and Booster. You can see just by the number of episodes listed just how good the final season was.
However, what could make of break this season was the two part Finale in which we fianlly see Clark Kent embrace his destiny. I believe that this episode is one of the best finales ever produced, it is important to remember that Smallville is more about Clark Kent then Superman and as such this character takes the focus for the majority of the episode and it benifits for it. These episodes also include the return of Lex Luthor and I think that the scenes between him and Clark are perfect. Also, when Clark finally puts on the suit we get to see more Superman action then I'm sure anyone was expected. And the final scene is a perfect way to finsih the story.
Tom Welling has played Clark Kent for 10 years and every season we have seen him grow as and actor and a director and I think that he has managed to bring new life into this character and took him in a truely unique direction. Although, this show wouldn't be what it is/was if it wasn't for the rest of the supporting cast especially Erica Durance who in my mind is the best Lois Lane that the screenhas seen and thanks to her acting she has become just as much of the Smallville story as Clark Kent himself.
Thank you Smallville for 10 great years and for breathing new life into a an inconic character...you will be missed!

One of the best seasons to date, and a true tribute to the superman legacy. Different in a way from the movies with Chris Reeve, mainly because the entire season basically revolves around Clark Kent as the main character, and not superman...

It seems to be a good time for us comic book nerds at the moment, not only are there a number of comic based movies popping up, but DC is rebooting 52 of there more famous titles. Unfortunately amidst all this geeky excitement, we have had to say goodbye to one of the best comic based TV shows in recent times, Smallville. Smallville followed the adventures of a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling), who crashed to earth from the destroyed planet of Krypton some years earlier in a meteor storm, only to be discovered by The Kent's, Martha and Jonathan, who decide to bring him up as their own, and help guide him on his journey to becoming Superman. The first four seasons saw Clark try and balance the pressures of high school with the added stress of being an alien with superhuman powers, which he attempts to keep hidden from his friends, especially his on again, off again love interest Lana Lang and best friend (soon to be arch-nemesis)Lex Luthor. Clark always used his powers for good, even if those he saved didn't deserve it. As the seasons went on the show ventured into more adult territory, seeing the arrivals of other DC comic book superheroes and villains such as The Green Arrow, The Flash, Hawkman, Aquaman, Zatana, Doomsday, General Zodd and Clarks biggest challenge Darkseid. Towards the end, the show also focussed on Clark's career as a Journalist with The Daily Planet and of courses his inevitable love affair with Lois Lane. How can you not own this, it's a must watch/buy far almost anyone.
