SmallVille - End of Clark Kent and Beginning of SuperMan

This is one series which has been close to my view for over last 4 years watching all the 10 seasons episode by episode, but as the curtains drew on it on 13 May 2011, I realized I was going to miss the series which I had started watching during college even going almost 21 hours at a stretch to watch some episodes. But yeah I have liked the series very much, especially Lana in the initial seasons and then it was Kara.





Smallville is the story of Clark Kent before he even became Superman. The first season really gets you knowing all the characters associated with the mega series especially Clark, Lana and Chloe with rest of the characters playing a side fiddle and oops how can I forget his arch rival Lex Luthor. Lex's was one character which grew the most over the 10 seasons finally becoming the nemesis he was supposed to be as a part of the Superman chronicles. As the series grew up in seasons, so did the characters adding more and more superheroes from the Justice League including the Green Arrow, Flash amongst the few. Villains also went on the rampage namely Braniac, Darkseid, Granny amongst the few. But all through out the series had kept me glued to it in spite of the occasional family dramas being added into the scene. As the series progresses Clark learns of his powers, weakness though he knew from the first episode itself. He learns his purpose which is reflected in the series finale.  We also get a lot of insight into the Superman world, learning about how it all began till the present situation. Overall the series did live up to the billing and delivered some actuals to the fans of Superman.

The series had some awesome soundtracks, twists and plots, crazy ideas of villanism and many other things. But all together it is a series to be watched slowly rather than spending sleepless nights on the trot trying to wrap it up.

  1. “It’s better to risk everything than to hold onto nothing.” That’s my favorite line from any of these episodes. It’s such a shame that he lost his father again. I doubted that the good Clark would have to face the bad Clark until after he killed Lionel. I keep thinking that Tess is going to be killed off but she survives another episode. I am so glad that I can watch TV when I’m camping like I will be tomorrow because not only did I miss the entire season but I can catch up with the reruns. My DISH Network employee tailgaiter http://goo.gl/vd4M4 is easy to set up and fits my budget which is important to my wife and me.
