Smallville: The Complete Second Season

Season 1 ends on an explosive ending that makes season 2 start off very strong and compellingly. After the conclusion with episode 1, it offers insight on a mystery that lasts throughout season 2 and is solved by a surprise guest star who played the original movie superman! Another great thing to note is the introduction to Clark's new heat vision which goes nicely and plays just as an important role as his x-ray vision. Personally I really enjoyed season 2 much more than season 1 but I did love the fact that a lot of characters and villains make cameos and reappearances throughout the season which slowly starts to take its toll on Clark. Ultimately, he makes a sad and shocking decision by the end of the season as his character grows to be one that most of us can easily relate and feel empathy for. Aside from that, the video presentation does improve with less artifacts as well as the cgi/special effects having more effort put into them. The audio did seem off at times, almost sounding like mono, but its understandable as its a 2.0 stereo track which still sounded more pleasant compared to season 1's audio track. Overall its a very solid season that you should give a chance if you didnt like season 1 and the "freak of the week" episodes.

i watched Smallville when it was first broadcast and loved it, mainly because Kristen Keuk who plays Lana Lang is so gorgeous and Tom Welling is just a handsome delight completely up to the task of embodying Superman. And yes, Chloe is a great character and this program would have been boring without marvelous Lex. I stopped watching after Lana left the story line. But one night when sleep was being particularly elusive, I caught the show in reruns on TNT at 3:00 a.m. in Los Angeles and again the next night. After a couple of nights where I realized I was straining to stay awake once the episode started, I decided it made more sense to gain some control over when I indulged this silly, secret passion and I've not regretted it for a moment. I had the flu last week, forced to stay in bed for three days solid and I'm not sure I would have been able to pass the time with such grace without the fun stories and pretty people who so effectively diverted my attention from my distressed digestive track.

Great

All I can say is wow!!. This show is epic!! No other Superman show or movie can compare to the greatness of Smallville. Infact no other superhero show can compare either. Tom Welling puts such feeling and emotion into Clark Kent, really bringing him to life. Smallville has people from the other Superman movies starring in here or guests appearances in the show as well. Of course DC comics was involved giving insight. It's pretty epic and well thought out. Of course there are very important episodes explaining his past and who he is, as well as Clark experiencing life and life choices in other episodes. Alot of tie in's explaining how and why things came to be when he will one day be superman. I started renting Smallville via Netflix DVD via the mail. I was halfway through season 2. It was just taking too long for the turnaround time from Netflix. I couldn't wait any longer. I went and bought all 10 seasons on Amazon HD video at $29.99 each. I couldn't be any more happy. Best money I ever spent. I still continue to watch. Thank you Tom Welling, cast, and crew for bringing us Smallville. This show holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed guaranteed.

Smallville is such an entertaining show through out all the seasons I've seen (except that I haven't seen the latest season still playing out on tv because we do not have cable this year).. Season 2 happens to be my favorite of all because I just enjoy watching the young Clark Kent still unravelling the mysteries of Smallville and the meteor rock effects on the town, while still discovering who he is and where he comes from... The last season that Kent and all the young charactors were in the prime of their innocense, before the point of no return where boy grows up forever when discovering the world is really broken... the time before he must leave behind all the dreams and goals so cherished in high school and think about the terrifying responsibility, and burdon he must carry alone in his own future as he evolves into protector of the boundries far beyond Kansas... If you loved the first season you'll most likely love the second even more...

The legendary adventures of the Teen of Steel continues with "Smallville: The Complete Second Season". In this second season, Clark Kent (Tom Welling) begins to investigate his origins and learns some stunning revelations of his true destiny on Earth. The rivalry between Lex Luther (Michael Rosenbaum) and his devious father Lionel (John Glover) heats up and the new woman in Lex's life (Emmanuelle Vaugier) could be his salvation or tragic fall. The close friendship between Lana Lang (Kristen Kreuk) and Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) creates certain difficulties for Clark. "Smallville" is the popular live-action comic book series that follows the adventures of a young Clark Kent during the years before he becomes Superman. The second season shows some improvements in the series' dramatic content and the relationship between the characters, and also avoids the repetitive "meteor freak of the week" trend. The episodes storylines appear more creative and better structured, and allow the supporting cast to have a stronger effect in the series' outcome. The second season also delivers some thrilling action sequences and great visual effects. The "Second Season" 6-Disc Box Set is a reasonable improvement over the "First Season" Box Set. Like the previous box set, all 23 episodes are presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen format. Its picture quality isn't spectacular but is certainly well-defined. The Dolby Digital 2.0 sound is rather pleasant. Some episodes contain deleted scenes and insightful audio commentaries with producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and cast members Tom Welling, Kristen Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum. The box set also includes the engaging "The Chloe Chronicles", "Christopher Reeve: Man of Steel" and "Faster than a Speeding Bullet" featurettes, a fun gag reel and some colorful interactive menus. "The Complete Second Season" Box Set will delight fans of the hit WB series and scores a satisfying "B+".

Love the show and this season. The entire series is phenomenal.

The Complete Second Season of "Smallville" on DVD is just so good on so many levels,in fact is is even better than the First Season on DVD. I bu quite a few TV on DVD series'( The OC, Friday Night Lights) and most of the time the first season is the best and none of the others are quite as good. Smallville breaks this mold, gone are the constant meteor freaks that will terrorize those in Smallville every single episode. This time around there is more of a balance, examples are "Red", "Rosetta" and even "Ryan" and there are even more. Clark learns a cool new superpower and Whitney is no longer in the credits instead he is replaced by Lex's dark and evil father, Lionel Luthor. If you wanted more of a variety or if you were hoping for more of the same you will love the Complete Second Season of Smallville. The Special Features are even better with more deleted scenes, two true featurettes and a Chloe Sullivan featurette which involves Earl from the first season. There is also a very humourous Gag Reel, who knew Micheal Rosenbaum was so hilarious! This is a pleasant surprise where most second seasons falter this one breaks the stereotype, and actually is better than the first!!

After the fairly staid formulaic structure of the first season of Smallville (I rate it at 4*), it was nice to see that the show's creators finally threw off some of the creative shackles. This was great news as I am a huge fan of the show. The burning question for me was whether this new lease of life was going to be enough. And, I can happily say, yes it is. This second chronicle in the legend of Superman is absolutely bloody fantastic. It's all here. Heat vision? Check. Ever growing tension in the Clark/ Lana/ Chloe love triangle? Check. Red Kryptonite? Check. Throwing these obvious pleasures aside, the real show stopper is the increasing paranoia of Lex Luthor (Mike Rosenbaum). Episode after episode, his fascination with Clark grows and grows. Clark (Tom Welling) is blissfully ignorant of this, thinking Lex and himself are going to be friends forever. Jonathan Kent (John Schneider) is right to suspect Lex's motives as the two-faced Luthor is making investigative enquiries behind his back. This is a great extension of the plot from the first season. And yes, it finally happens. After spending the first season watching Lana behind an emotional 'door', Clark is finally getting close to the girl of his dreams. But not without a few obstacles. Lana has to deal with the death of her Marine boyfriend, Whitney Fordman, as well as her own frustration at Clark's complete inability at keeping a promise. This shows great promise for a psychological hero complex to emerge. Mmmmm, delicious. That brings us to Clark's latest addition to his superhero arseanl, heat vision. This comes about accidentally, with un-intentionally funny consequences. Clark setting fire to a school projector screen while checking out a really HOT (sorry about the pun there) teacher (Krista Allen) who actually turns out to be Lex's fiancee, Disaree. Masterful. It turns out that the heat vision is, initially, triggered by thinking of sex. So you then get Clark with Lana, alone, in the Talon, together and a whole lot of torched decor. Mmmmm, flamey. Anyway, I think I should let you buy the set and find out for yourselves. I do have one grumble though. Where's the episode guide that Season 1 came with? Other than that, a superb series is put together with a superb dvd boxset. The special features are definitley worth a look, with a fantastic documentary on the SFX of Smallville. MMMMMMMMMM. Yeah, I cannot wait for the Season 3 set. Bring it on!!!!!! Peace out.

E' stata una delle mie serie preferite anche se l' ho iniziata a vedere un po' titubante ma mi ha preso già dai primi episodi e ho deciso di collezionare i cofanetti Sono 6 dvd per un totale di 15 ore e 52 minuti Vi consiglio di guardarla, non era il mio genere ma mi ha preso tantissimo Riunisce fantascienza, fantasy, azione e drammi adolescenziali Parla di Clark Kent un adolescente che cresce scoprendo i suoi poteri e che cerca di proteggere gli abitanti della sua città il tuto accompagnato dai problemi dei ragazzini di quell' età I personaggi crescono con voi che li guardate e le storie nella maggior parte dei casi sono avvincenti Certo non mancano momenti in cui si fa fatica a seguire il filo ma su 10 stagioni ci sta! Il mio personaggio preferito non era il protagonista che a dire la verità non amo particolarmente ma era Chloe Da guardare!

Arrived promptly, but was just filling in the one season I was missing in the set. if you have no others, it's better to get the entire 10-season set.

ラナのファンの人にとっては、これはマストバイだと思います。 私は、英語だけのセカンドシーズンを６シーズンを買ってから 購入しました。ラナが一番輝いて新鮮に魅力的なのは２シーズンです。 4シーズンあたりから額にシワが出てきますし、６シーズンでは もう飽きてしまって．．．。あまり魅力的には感じないように なってしまいませんか（？） 日本語版は、テレビやレンタルでもう既に見ていますので 安くて俳優たちの声や魅力がダイレクトに感じるこれを 買いました！やっぱり保存版ですね。 何度も見たいです。

Pour moi toutes les saisons de cette superbe série apportent une pierre à l'édifice de la construction du super héros ...c'est donc avec grand plaisir que je visionne cette saison et j'attends avec impatience que mes enfants grandissent pour la partager avec eux.
