Smallville Season 8

svs8dvdOnce again I am blown away by what I was able to review. I was given the chance to review Smallville Season 8. All I can is say that even after eight seasons now, I still get chills when I hear Remy Zero start up playing “Somebody Saaaaaaaave meeeeeee!” In my honest opinion, the year before in season 7, I felt like the show was on the verge of something great. I felt that the series was still figuring out how far they wanted to take the Superman mythos. Season 8 by far, was the one that did it for me and it has become my favorite one as of yet.

In the beginning of this season, Lex Luthor is gone. Tess Mercer has stepped in for Lex’s business operation, Chloe is smarter than the average bear, Doomsday is coming, and Clark finally starts working at the Daily Planet. The story picks up after the events of last season’s finale which ignited a ton of new angles and story lines to be explored and fleshed out. This season showed that with a great hero, you are always going to have many different and interesting villains to keep him on his toes. The addition of Tess Mercer and Davis Bloome added to Clark’s struggles on several levels. The support of the Justice League in Clark’s life is here once again and are always captivating when working together. This season we also saw the appearance of many DC favorites like Plastique, Maxima, Toyman, The Persuader, and Zatanna. Comic fans were also treated to another DC “Golden Boy” in the form of Geoff Johns to write the mid-season episode “Legion”.

If I had an actual “stamp of approval” it would be so plastered on this DVD set that you wouldn’t even be able to tell what it was. So in light of that I don’t really have one, I give it my verbal stamp. The only thing greater than Season 8 of Smallville is that it is going to be followed by Season 9!

      And I will be getting chills to Season 9 as well, what with Clark running around in his new uniform an all. Rumor has it there will be a Season 10 and a movie too. Maybe they’ll get Lex back?
