Description of Smallville - The Complete Second Season:
For many fans, the Superman revisionist series Smallville truly hit its stride in its second season, when it shifted focus from traditional comic book conflicts to one of self-discovery for its hero, a teenage Clark Kent (Tom Welling). Fans and first-timers can judge for themselves with this six-disc set, which compiles all 23 episodes and a decent selection of supplemental features. Whereas season 1 focused on Clark using his powers to combat a host of menaces à la the WB's other big fantasy hit, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 2 delved into Clark's past and the extent of his super powers, most notably in the back-to-back "Heat," in which he discovers his heat vision, and "Red," in which red kryptonite in the high school class rings uncorks Clark's less-than-upstanding side. Other plot developments from the season that pull the series in interesting directions include the arrival of Dr. Helen Bryce (Emanuelle Vaugier), who becomes involved with Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum), but the season's most significant moment comes during episode 17, "Rosetta," in which Clark learns of his Kryptonian origins courtesy of a scientist, who, in an effective bit of casting, is played by Superman film star Christopher Reeve.

The complexity of the writing and issues dealt with in season 2 marked Smallville as a series with depth and drama worthy of its considerable fan following as well as a second boxed set; fittingly, the supplements in this set are more expansive than on the first one. Producers Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Greg Beeman and cast members Welling, Rosenbaum, and Kristen Kreuk weigh in on commentary tracks for two episodes ("Red" and "Rosetta"), while a trio of short featurettes explore Christopher Reeves's appearance in "Rosetta," the show's visual effects, and the amusing "Wall of Weird" web page maintained by Chloe (Allison Mack). The extras are rounded out by a handful of deleted scenes and a gag reel. --Paul Gaita

Smallville - The Complete Second Season Reviews:
Smallville Review 4
2009-10-29 - The continuing saga of Superman in Smallville....awesome and OH SO YUMMY is Tom Welling. Honest seller too, quick shipping, highly recommended. Thanks!

Smallville Season 2
2009-08-23 - I really liked Smallville Season 2. I thought it had a good plot and the writing was well done. It delved deeper into the mystery of Clark Kent and his roots which was enjoyable to watch. The only thing I could complain about is the "freak of the week" aspect of the show. Though some of them were alright to watch, others seemed to repeat the same theme over and over. But overall I think it was a good season and definetely worth watching.

excellent
2009-08-03 - I received my dvd collection promptly and it was in excellent condition. There were no scratches and have played perfectly.

Smallville Second Season
2009-07-17 - I received it fast, but the case was in bad shape. When I opened it everything just fell out. Disc are in ok shape.

"Clark Kent and Lex Luther. I Like the Sound of That."
2009-07-15 - Season two picks up right where season one left off. Clark Kent (Tom Welling) manages to save Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) from the path of a tornado, but Lionel Luther (John Glover) isn't quite so lucky. While his son Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) saves his life, Lionel winds up blind.

But as life slowly gets back to normal, things have a way of continuing to be, well, weird. Clark develops heat vision, brought on by thoughts of sex. Chloe and Pete (Allison Mack and Sam Jones III) become adrenalin junkies. High school students start dying of old age. And Lana is visited by her best friend who died years ago.

But with everything else going on, Clark also gets hints to his past, much to the worry of parents Jonathan and Martha Kent (John Schneider and Annette O'Toole). A cave is found in Smallville that has ancient drawings depicting Clark's story. The ship that brought Clark to Earth seems to come to life at times. What does it all mean?

What it means for us is a great season of this engrossing high school soap opera. Yes, I just called it a teen soap. Essentially, that's what it is. Oh yes, it has plenty of science fiction and comic book action, and that's fun. But the on going stories have a decidedly soap opera feel to them. There's the love triangle between Lana, Chloe, and Clark for starters. Lex gets married not once but twice. There's blindness and an unexpected pregnancy as well.

But that's not to down play the action and scifi. While the show doesn't follow a formula nearly as closely as it did the first season, there are still plenty of kryptonite enhanced monsters. Some of the episodes get a little creepy. And some of them are just downright fun, like the times that Clark gets exposed to red kryptonite.

But as much as I am enjoying it, I find the characters the most fascinating to watch, particularly the Luthors and their interaction with Clark. At this point, Clark and Lex are still friends. Knowing how their relationship turns out makes some of those scenes take on a bittersweet feel. It's help by Michael Rosenbaum. Any scene he is in is amazing to watch. In fact, the best scenes are the ones between him and John Glover playing his on screen dad. I'm not saying the rest of the cast is bad because they aren't. Those are the two that stand out the most.

And yes, this season also has the first appearance of Christopher Reeve as Dr. Virgil Swann.

If you've resisted getting into this show, stop now. You'll definitely need to watch it from the beginning. But trust me, once you do, you'll be hooked.
