Smallville forever!
Smallville has been a wonderful, iconic show, and I will miss it when it's gone. I'm sure Tom Welling would like to do other roles, though, and it will be interesting to watch his career.Season 9 found it's stride again after a less than stellar season 8. There were a few plot points I didn't understand, though. They never explained WHY the yellow sun did not affect Zod and crew the way it does Clark, and why the red sun would give them powers and take away Clark's. Maybe I just missed the reasoning, and I'll catch it whan I see the DVD.The Clark/Lois romance heats up in this season, and that's been fun. Lois, played beautifully by Erica Durance, begins to come into her own as a reporter, and as a woman. She wants a guy who is her own personal hero, but she's still distracted by the Blur.I wasn't crazy about the casing of the Zod character (apparently all Kryptonians have British accents and overact), but it was an interesting story line.And, true to form, the season ends in a big huge cliffhanger ... I've been worried about Clark all summer ... =)I hope this DVD set has more in the way of commentaries and extra features, esp gag reels, than some of the more recent seasons have had. That's my main reason for purchasing them, after all.KesterGayle
