Editorial Review:
An astonishing season of destiny! 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. A spaceship mystery unfolds. A dark tragedy - one even Clark's powers can't prevent - strikes. These and more key elements of Superman lore fall into place.
Description of Smallville - The Complete Fifth Season:
Consistently solid with some major developments, the fifth season of Smallville kicks the characters off to college, but not before finishing the cataclysmic disaster that ended the fourth season. With Chloe transported to the Arctic Circle and Kryptonian supervillains in town, Clark (Tom Welling) is in the Fortress of Solitude meeting Jor-El (voiced by Terence Stamp). He gives up his powers, but to get them back will cost him the life of someone he loves.
The even bigger development is that Clark and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) finally give up their dalliances with others and become an official couple. That means the other girls in Clark's life become fifth and sixth wheels, so Chloe (Allison Mack) reveals the secret she's been keeping from Clark and becomes a best pal. Super-gorgeous Lois's (Erica Durance, now part of the opening credits) banter with Clark loses its bite without any sexual tension so instead she meets Arthur "AC" Curry, a fantastic swimmer who has an eye for Lois and an accusing one toward Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and LutherCorp. He's not the only one; Clark's Central Kansas A&M professor, Milton Fine (James Marsters) hires Clark to help him on his project, an expose of LutherCorp. Lex is the pivotal character of the season. His relationship with his best friend, Clark, now history, Lex has a Christmas Carol-type dream in which he sees himself in a law-abiding--and happy--life. (That episode, "Lexmas," also has some amusing interplay involving Clark and Chloe.) Undeterred, he decides on a life of power and dives into a state senate race against Jonathan Kent with gusto, though a fanatical Lex supporter turns the race into a literal one for life and death. Lionel Luthor (John Glover) also makes a strong comeback in this season, pulling unseen levers and making everyone wonder exactly what he knows.
There's some fun. "Thirst" is a tribute to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and another DC Comics character, Cyborg (Teen Titans), appears. Carrie Fisher plays Chloe's editor at The Daily Planet, and "Exposed" reunites Schneider with former Dukes of Hazzard costar Tom Wopat, and the two go peeling out in a vehicle. But things come to a head in the series 100th episode, when Jor-El's prediction comes to pass and splintered relationships end up leading in unexpected directions. Then in the season finale's cliffhanger, Clark has to face three of his enemies. DVD features include commentary on two episodes and a half-hour examination of the 100th episode, from writing through production. --David Horiuchi
Smallville - The Complete Fifth Season Reviews:
great service 
2009-10-21 - I was very happy with this seller. My item was in great shape and new in packaging as promised. It was delivered in a very timely manner.
Great season, better depth and great hero guest appearances 
2009-10-07 - Features Cyborg and Aquaman first appearances, which makes this pretty cool. Clark's relationships begin to deteriorate, one ends, and there's an overall sense that Clark is moving forward to bigger things. I thoroughly enjoyed the guest appearances which are comic book staples, and the loss of one of Clark's loved ones is truly sad yet well done. My favorite season so far, with less of the unresolved plotlines that seem to not come to fruition- (hello, Lex's little brother? What the heck happened to him?!!) Plus, Lois becomes a regular, and she brings comedy and lightheartedness to the show, which is sorely lacking in many of the other femae characters. Not hard on the eyes either.
Clark comes of Age 
2009-05-17 - Although this guy is from a another planet, he learns the joy and pain associated with being human. It comes with such complexity and confusion that Clark is unsure as to his true place in this world. From being torn from Lana, to his uneasiness when he discovers she is secretly seeing Lex- all by his own chosing. this season rocks!!! One of my favorite episodes is Aqua in which he finds a friend in AC,a true waterman who protects the oceans creatures from harm, thus someone he can trust with his secret and release some of his burdens. Although Lexmas when Lex dreams of a life he could have when he is nearly shot to death is also intriguing. This season as many suprises for the smallville fanatic in all of us,including a moment with Clark and Chloe you won't want to miss. It has more shocking suprises for the man of steel as he continually questions who he is and what is his ultimate destiny!!!
i love this show 
2009-02-17 - IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SMALLVILLE YET FROM START TO FINISH, YOU ARE TRULY MISSING THE BEST TV SERIES EVER CREATED!!! AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE
Smallville Season 5 
2009-02-07 - The product was good. The only issue was the several DVD's skipped or paused. I think the DVD's were not cleaned.
