After getting Season One on DVD, I HAD to get Season Two on DVD. I could NOT miss this show when it played out on TV.
The direction changed in this show just a little; not so many villains, though some return. The love triangles become more apparent, and though I tuned in to see where life would take Lana and Clark (respectively), the other plot twists/lines were just as interesting, especially watching Martha work with Lionel Luthor. And watching Clark develop more powers, while finding out more about himself. And watching some friends become more valued than others. All this in their (meaning Clark, Lana, Pete, and Chloe's) sophomore year!

This show has a way of growing on you and then you must see what happens next!! The emotional intensity of the relationships between characters is gripping. This is not just another teen show because the emotional themes are complex and interesting.
Sometimes the set up can be a little contrived but the result is still compelling.
My favorite actor and character is Michael Rosenbaum as young Lex Luthor. The character is heartbreaking with his desire to do good and be a part of a loving family but circumstances keep this from happening. Young Clark Kent (Tom Snelling) grapples with the responsibility both to his family and community of having superpowers, but also to his own developing sense of self. His struggles to become a man can be seen in any young teen trying to be a good son/daughter but also develop as an individual.
There is an interesting twist with some ancient rock art that predicts the legend of Superman. All in all a good second season with of course a cliffhanger season finale!

Show: The adventure continues in the second season of the hit WB series "Smallville." The show, I must say, really hit its stride in the second season. The freak of the week stories became few and far between. Instead, we get to become closer to the characters, going deeper into their psyches. "Smallville" is truly the best show on television right now, and one of my favorite shows of all time. Tom Welling is superb as Clark Kent. I can actually see his Clark Kent becoming Superman. Kristin Kreuk makes a great Lana Lang, Michael Rosenbaum is excellent as Lex Luthor, Annette O'Toole and John Schneider are good as Johnathan and Martha Kent, Allison Mack is excellent as Chloe Sullivan, and Sam Jones III is good as Pete Ross. Special mention must also go to John Glover who is excellent as Lionel Luthor, and the incomparable Christopher Reeve as Dr. Virgil Swann. Classic "Smallville" season 2 episodes are "Vortex," "Heat," "Duplicity," "Red," "Visage," "Fever," "Rosetta," and "Exodus." (10/5)
Video: "Smallville: Season 2" comes to DVD in an outstanding 1.78:1 Anamorphic Widescreen transfer. These transfers are abolutely stunning. The colors look superb, sharpness and detail are excellent. Simply put, the transfer is smashing. (5/5)
Audio: The Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround is excellent. Most 5.1 tracks wish they could be this good. In Dolby Prologic II, the soundfield is completely immersive. Very well done. (4/5)
Extras: First up, there are two commentary tracks on the episodes "Red" and "Rosetta." The first on both episodes is by the series creators and producers. The second one features Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, and Greg Beeman. All four commentaries are good. The ones with the producers are more technical, while the ones with the cast are more fun.
There is also a gag reel, deleted scenes, 2 featurettes, and the "Chloe Chronicles" Webisodes series. Not a ton of stuff, but fun and informative nontheless. (4/5)
Overall: The second season of "Smallville" is a true winner, and the DVD is no exception. Great audio and video transfers and some fun extras to boot make this easy to recommend. Enjoy your visit to "Smallville!" (5/5)
