Just Great !
A friend put me on to Smallville just a year or two ago. Since that time, I've been racing 'faster than a speeding bullet' to get caught up. Season Nine is just packed with all kinds of Superhero goodness. Many of my favorite episodes are right in the middle of the season, but its a strong outing for Smallville from start to finish.Old school DC fans who grew up on the Superfriends will no doubt enjoy IDOL where Wonder Twins Zan and Jayna show up in Metropolis. The episode's 21st Century spin, with cell phones and Facebook, pays homage to the characters while updating them nicely. WARRIOR was also a great installment, giving a nod to many fans who head out to the local convention scene. My highlight of the season - and I can't believe I am alone - is ABSOLUTE JUSTICE. Clark, Ollie, and The Manhunter team, up with Hawkman, Stargirl, and some old school heroes to defend Metropolis from a new threat. This two hour movie was great the first time around and really stands up to multiple viewings.Its hard to believe that, as I write this, these characters are in their tenth and final season. We've come along way from Smallville High. The characters have really stretched and grown and there have been many notable additions and guest stars. This season is easily one of my favorites along withSmallville - The Complete Seventh Season, which brought Supergirl full-force into the Smallville universe. Do yourself a favor, and pick it up today.
