The Smallville Season fifth is one of the coolest season that the warner bros ever made. I enjoyed every single chapter in this season... and one more thing if you wanna buy this season not forget to buy season sixth.

EXACTLY WHAT I ORDERED, AND EXPECTED

The DVD was in great condition except for one of the discs falling out of it's place in the case. That is a pretty common occurrence with the Smallville boxed seasons though. The way it was packaged could have been better. I ordered 2 seasons of the show and they just threw them in a big envelope with no cushioning or anything, leaving plenty of space for them to get bashed around in. Other than that, the shipping was fast and the DVD's are in great shape. Thanks!

A great series, well produced and fun to watch especially with James Marsters as Brainiac, a great season.

Inasmuch as season four ended with the graduation of Clark and friends from Smallville High, it was logical that the story lines in this fifth season would have the principals involved in situations that were much more problematic and adult in nature. Because of the ongoing "growth" of Clark (the much improved, actingwise, star Tom Welling) into the future Man of Steel, this season presents obstacles that confront him as a freshman college student, as one involved in a sensitive relationship with girlfriend Lana (the beautiful Kristen Kreuk), and as an alien tied to his past by the disembodied voice of his real father, Jor-El (the voice of Terrence Stamp). Add to this the strained friendship with Lex Luthor (the brilliant Michael Rosenbaum), the reappearance of the sinister Milton Fine (the equally brilliant James Marsters), and the occasional meteor freak, and you have a top-caliber science fiction drama.
Besides the superb performances of the aforementioned actors, season five allows the remaining stars (Allison Mack, John Glover, and Annette O'Toole) the chance to really shine throughout the year's installments.
Most significantly, John Schneider gets an episode that becomes one of the pivotal moments in the show's run.
Erica Durance really comes to fruition in her role as the always-ready-with-a-quick-retort Lois Lane.
The season is filled with rebirths, deaths, resurrections, and lots of deceit, the latter the result of everyone, at one time or another, keeping a secret from another.
Because of the dark turn of the series, there are some images that might warrant parental guidance in regards allow younger family members to view them. A couple of characters are impaled, one is incinerated, there are several deaths by gunshot, and fiery explosions and car crashes occur more than once. Such scenes might be unnerving to younger viewers.
Also, two installments have implied sex scenes that are a tad too suggestive for the small fry.
The extras on the disc include an informative making of the 100th episode and a "mini-series," of sorts, that deals with a character introduced in the "Vengeance" installment.
As a whole, this is a great season but should be viewed and discussed by parents before allowing impressionable children to watch them.
