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

Rating:  - Excellent Continuation to an Excellent Series!
I love Smallville... Simple as that. Every time I hear Remy Zero belt out "Save me!" I get warm fuzzies. lol No, but this is a WONDERFUL show. I don't know if I've ever seen a show that blends great characters, great stories, great music and great acting as deftly as this show does.
A must buy for the smallville watcher!
Rating:  - Second Season Smallville
The year two is a continuation of the first. It reveals more and more about the Kent's and the town in general. It is of course a little hoaky and unrealistic, but entertaining.
Rating: - Great Show
I'm a big Smallville fan and I though that season 2 was great. Definately recommend for fans of the show.
Rating:  - Pleased with product
I was pleased with the condition of this product. I think I got and excellent deal and the dvds were shipped promptly. I will be ordering from this vendor again.
Rating: - Most great shows end before the final episode
and "Smallville" is no exception to this rule. In fact, this show ran out of steam after Series 3. No matter - Series 2 is the best of them, and you can switch the video off just before the end of the penultimate episode to achieve a satisfactory conclusion with no real cliffhangers.
Where this series got it right and the later ones lost it is in the characterization. It is a sci-fi show, so fantasy of course plays a big part in the storylines. That said, at least a couple of the episodes in Series 2 are quite gripping, with minimal superpower input ("Precipice" and "Accelerate"). "Insurgence" is almost movie-like in its pace and highlights the Luthor family struggle as perhaps the most dramatic thread running through the series. ("Skinwalker" is annoyingly political and can be skipped by reading a precis of the plot off the Web.)
Clark Kent is always at risk of being one-dimensional, but that's what red kryptonite is for. In any case, the young Kryptonian needs upstanding examples of human virtue to encourage him on his path to becoming Superman, and, in the good series of "Smallville", he has this in his foster parents and his close friends: Pete, Chloe and Lana.
In Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk, the show had two impossibly attractive actors who could be exceptional TV role models for the virtues of generosity and loyalty. Unfortunately, in later series, the writers seemed more interested in appealing to the "American Pie" audience. At that point it becomes ... Read More
