Description of Smallville - The Complete Seventh Season:
Super-sexy and super-flirty, Clark's super-cousin Kara (Laura Vandervoot) made the splashiest addition to the cast in Smallville's season 7. Unfortunately for Clark (Tom Welling), she's more advanced in her powers than he is (she can fly), and she's not the kind to shy away from drawing attention to herself, whether it's in a skimpy bikini or garnering notice from Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and Jimmy (Aaron Ashmore, joining the opening credits). Chloe (Allison Mack, rightfully moving ahead of Erica Durance in the credits) is trying to come to terms with her "meteor freak" powers, and Lois (Durance) is dallying with the new Daily Planet editor Grant Gabriel (Michael Cassidy), who has a mysterious past. The dreary drama of Lex and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) is over, and Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole) has permanently departed for Congress, so Lana is now playing house with Clark at the Kent farm. More elements of the DC Comics mythology enter, such as superheroine Black Canary (Alana Huffman), as do guest stars from the universe of Super-entertainment (Lois and Clark's Dean Cain as a doctor who claims to be able to "cure" meteor powers, and Helen "Supergirl" Slater as Clark's Kryptonian mother). Braniac (James Marsters) is still a threat, and Lionel (John Glover) reveals a shady past as part of an order called Veritas, which is purportedly assigned with protecting "the Traveler," an alien who has come to Earth as its salvation. Yet even with the numerous cast comings and goings, the most surprising change happened at the end of the season, when series producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar announced their departure. Whether that would be a good or bad thing (and whether it would mean an end to their original Smallville edict, "No flights, no tights") would have to be answered in season 8. --David Horiuchi
Smallville - The Complete Seventh Season Reviews:
Another excellent season! 
2009-12-11 - This review isn't going to be very long. It doesn't need to be. By now most people who have watched Smallville are already fans and will be just a delighted with Season 7 as they were with seasons 1-6!
A Super Season Seven! 
2009-11-26 - Kicking the season off, Clark fights a bizarro version of himself, picking up the cliffhanger from the previous season. Great start. Then things get even more cool with the emergence of a super . . . girl? Yup, you guessed it, Supergirl herself has arrived on Earth. Her name is Kara. She is Clark's cousin from Krypton and Laura Vandervoort does a fantastic job as the Girl of Steel, who not only proves that blood runs thicker than water, but also has no fear of heights like her farmboy cousin and does plenty of flying to prove it.
Not only is there one Supergirl in this season, but two. Kinda. Helen Slater, who played Supergirl in the 1984 movie of the same name, made an appearance as Clark's Kryptonian mother, Lara, in the episode that shared her namesake.
Season Seven was a load of fun and was one of the best ones of the series so far.
The only episode I didn't really like was "Wrath," where Lana gets Clarks powers and uses them to get her revenge on Lex. Again, this kind of thing was done before in Lois and Clark (the power transfer), and I was getting tired of seeing these repeat ideas as they had done Lois and Clark-type episodes in the past. Speaking of which, the Dean Cain episode, "Cure," made me feel like I was watching Lois and Clark all over again and though this episode was more filler than moved the Season Seven story arc along, it was cool to see Dean Cain back in the Superman universe. They even called his character Curtis Knox (see the initials?).
The last thing that bothered me about this season, more specifically the episode, "Quest," was the major playing up of Clark being some sort of messiah. I'm a Christian, so this probably bothered me more than most, but that aside, it still was overdone. Okay. We get it. Clark's going to save the world one day. Move on.
This season was a step up from Season Six, so 4.5 stars out of 5.
Recommended.

Yet another season of a dying show
2009-11-10 - Smallville was a great show, but the stories are getting a bit ridiculous. If you've made it through the sixth season you'll probably want to see the seventh!
Nothing fabulous, nothing horrible, just some more increasingly implausible weekly fluff. Enjoyable, but evidence that the CW needs to kill this thing before it gets to be unbearable.
Smallville Review 3
2009-10-29 - Perfect condition, honest seller, quick shipping. I am a "Smallville" Junkie (as are my kids) and this seller delivered right on target. Thank you.
Smaville - great series
2009-10-09 - I am not going to critique the entire saga of Smallville as some people do.
All I am going to review is my purchase.
The purchase process was easy, the discs came quickly and it was a great purchase.
