- Season Two--Awesome Follow Up
I was worried that Season Two would mean teenaged super sleuths a la Scooby Doo, but I was delighted by the great evolution of the characters and storylines in these especially clever and creepy episodes. Plenty of action, violence, and sexual situations make this a definite PG rated series, but fans of the SUPERMAN myth will eat it up with a spoon...especially the carefully constructed attention to the mythology and lore of the guy in the red cape.

Frequently sentimental but rarely corny, the actors/characters they portray have improved from Season One and develop the complexities that give them contemporary relevance and staying power. The odd boom shadow or transparent special effect is certainly forgivable...it's amazing how well they've done on a mere "TV" budget and constraints. My only pet peeve continues to be the weak casting of supporting/day player roles, presumeably to fulfill the Canadian content laws of their location shooting.

Old and new fans alike will find hours and hours of entertaining, compelling adventure in Season Two!

There was so much going on by the end of the first season. The revelation that Clark had concerning his powers is growing. Several episodes did have comical moments.
On a more serious note.. Why would Clark want Lana. She is boring. Chloe is fun and energetic. She always has an idea and she thinks as fast as Clark can run. They would be more an attractive couple. Chloe doesn't need to be friends with Lana she should just cut her off.
Actually Chloe should hook up with Lex. Now he is HOTTT! ]
Just my opinion.

- Everything, but...
Smallville is a series that I got into very late into it's current season and now have the DVD's. I have to say that I loved the series and the characters are all done very well. Tom Welling is charming as Clark. However, Kristin Kreuk, as Lana Lang is absolutely dull, on screen she is incredibly beatific to look at but her expressions seem to vary between three very wet eyed looks. This is a fun show but they missed the boat for me when they added the love triangle that wasn't really one because we all know it's Lana, Clark will always want. I'm sorry to say that for me they could have left out this whole part of the story. I loved the Lex/Lionel dynamic and Clarks family (all played wonderfully well) are my reason for watching the series. I recommend this to all with the warning that there is the continous thread of a desperately niave Lana Lang throughout who to this point seems to be pouty and absolutely clueless.
