- Superman Mythology At It's Best
The Smallville television show does a great job of telling the early years of Clark Kent.
Season 6 had some of the better episodes in the series,notably the episodes of Zod, Justice,Labyrinth,and Phantom.
Labyrinth was a standout.
The HD DVD picture is beautiful,all you could ask for.

I say this in all my reviews if you have not seen any episodes of this season of Smallville please stop reading this and go to someone else's review because I will be telling spoilers all throughout this review.

To begin on all the special features they are many but in my opinion only two of them I found interesting one being the featurette on the hardcore Smallville/Superman fans out there and the history of the Green Arrow which I found very insightful. For you fans hoping for some audio commentaries on episodes I'm sorry to inform you there isn't any. The other Special Features are a Behind-The-Scenes of how the Justice League and Green Arrow ()both of whom have major episodes this season) short comic book series was created. (The ones that aired during the commericials on the CW during Smallville.) Speaking of the CW I have said it once and will say it again. Smallville is one of their only two main stay series that the CW would be mad to cancel. The other one being WWE Smackdown! I say this because Smallville really held up well against tough odds to stay on the air, competing against other programs on other networks, moving to a brand new network and really deeping the characters. This season continues Clark's gradually moving toward his destiny a destiny in previous seasons he had been trying to avoid. The season begins with Clark entering into the infamous "Phantom Zone" (a place made famous in the first two Superman films and in the comic books) as a result of being sent there by Zod at the end of year five Clark escapes only to free about thirty different prisioners or as Chloe calls them Zoners from the Phantom Zone. This sets up the arc that Clark must retrive all the zoners either by killing them or sending them back to the Zone. This season introduces Superman main stay Jimmy Olson as played by Aarron Ashmore.

This season also deepens Lex Luthor's plunge into evil and how far he'll go to keep the woman in his life probably because Lex recalls what happened to his mother and his tragic loss of his first wife Helen Bryce in season three. Lana and Lex's relationship also known as "Lexana" by fans of Smallville takes center stage. Since the beginning of the series Lana has always express not wanting to be made a victim by anyone on the series and yet she welcomes that by being involved with Lex because of her anger towards Clark. As far as Clark goes this season really matures his character with him not being involved with Lana and him being able to stand alone without Lana on day to day basis. This season also introduces Oliver Queen "The Green Arrow" to Smallville. Played by former Soap actor, Passions star Justin Hartley. This is the first live action apperience of the Green Arrow. His relationship with Lois and friendship with Clark are highlights of the season for me.

My favorite episodes this season are Crimson and The Promise. Crimson reintroduces Red K back into the series but it also brings to the forefront issues between Lana, Lex, and Clark which was skimmed over a little bit at the end of year five but continued in great detail in this and The Promise episode as well. Major acting kudos go to Allison Mack (Chloe) Tom Welling (Clark) and finally Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) all three actors mentioned really stepped their game up acting wise with intensity and honesty.

The series really shines in HD. The series which is shot in 1080p or 720p (which there is no real difference between unless you a fifty inch or larger screen) widescreen (16:9) really pops in color and in sound quality as well as good of not better then in the CW broadcast. If you own HD-DVD and are Smallville you won't be disappointed I wasn't.

I love Smallville and have followed it from Season 1. It just keeps getting better and better. I love the new superheros that are introduced in this new season and some old ones come back. :) Everyone will love this show.
