Product Description
Smallville: The Complete Fifth Season (DVD)
This new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series. This season, everything changes as Clark Kent finally begins to accept his destiny and take giants leaps towards becoming the Man of Steel.
]]>Amazon.com
Consistently solid with some major developments, the fifth season ofSmallville kicks the characters off to college, but not before finishing the cataclysmic disaster that ended the fourth season. With Chloe transported to the Arctic Circle and Kryptonian supervillains in town, Clark (Tom Welling) is in the Fortress of Solitude meeting Jor-El (voiced by Terence Stamp). He gives up his powers, but to get them back will cost him the life of someone he loves.
The even bigger development is that Clark and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) finally give up their dalliances with others and become an official couple. That means the other girls in Clark's life become fifth and sixth wheels, so Chloe (Allison Mack) reveals the secret she's been keeping from Clark and becomes a best pal. Super-gorgeous Lois's (Erica Durance, now part of the opening credits) banter with Clark loses its bite without any sexual tension so instead she meets Arthur "AC" Curry, a fantastic swimmer who has an eye for Lois and an accusing one toward Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and LutherCorp. He's not the only one; Clark's Central Kansas A&M professor, Milton Fine (James Marsters) hires Clark to help him on his project, an expose of LutherCorp. Lex is the pivotal character of the season. His relationship with his best friend, Clark, now history, Lex has aChristmas Carol-type dream in which he sees himself in a law-abiding--and happy--life. (That episode, "Lexmas," also has some amusing interplay involving Clark and Chloe.) Undeterred, he decides on a life of power and dives into a state senate race against Jonathan Kent with gusto, though a fanatical Lex supporter turns the race into a literal one for life and death. Lionel Luthor (John Glover) also makes a strong comeback in this season, pulling unseen levers and making everyone wonder exactly what he knows.
There's some fun. "Thirst" is a tribute toBuffy the Vampire Slayer, and another DC Comics character, Cyborg (Teen Titans), appears. Carrie Fisher plays Chloe's editor atThe Daily Planet, and "Exposed" reunites Schneider with formerDukes of Hazzard costar Tom Wopat, and the two go peeling out in a vehicle. But things come to a head in the series 100th episode, when Jor-El's prediction comes to pass and splintered relationships end up leading in unexpected directions. Then in the season finale's cliffhanger, Clark has to face three of his enemies. DVD features include commentary on two episodes and a half-hour examination of the 100th episode, from writing through production.--David Horiuchi

- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2007I spent a couple of weeks watching the first five seasons of "Smallville," and on balance I go along with those who think the Fifth Season is the best of the bunch. "Reckoning," the 100th episode, stands out because of the significant deaths that take place, but the whole first half of the season is overshadowed by Jor-el's promise that the price of restoring his son's powers will be the life of someone Clark loves ("Hidden"), so there is a setup to the big payoff. What I think makes a big difference to the show is that Clark discovers that Chloe knows his secret ("Arrival"), because now our hero finally has somebody who knows his secret and can be a big help to him. When Pete Ross knew Clark's secret it was just a series of problems every other week, but the dynamic is decidedly different and better with Chloe and even before the tragic events of this season you can see that it is Chloe, rather than Jonathan or Martha (or even Jor-el), who has become the person Clark turns to. Ironically, even though there will never be a romantic relationship between Clark and Chloe, I can make a pretty good case that it is Chloe who has the same function on "Smallville" that Lana Lang had in the "Superboy" comic books, as the girl who knows the big secret, while still foreshadowing the importance of her cousin, Lois Lane, down the road at the "Daily Planet.".
Clark and Lana have some of their best moments before things completely deteriorate. Obviously you want to point to several unforgettable moments in "Reckoning" as evidence of that, but there are some equally strong moments in "Hidden," aided at the end by the marvelous use of Dishwalla's "Collide." I know we figured this out several seasons back, but I think it should be commented that for such pretty faces Tom Welling and Kristen Kreuk turned out to be pretty good actors. Having James Marsters around as Milton Fine is fun because he not only gets between Clark and Lex but Lex and Lionel as well. Obviously "Reckoning" is the biggie in the fifth season, but I think almost as highly of "Lexmas," which marks the point where Lex irrevocably turns to the dark side. I have long thought that the biggest legacy of "Smallville" to the Superman mythos is with regards to the character of Lex Luthor. Even without the costume during his "Superboy" phase, Clark Kent is still the boy being brought up in the heartland to believe in truth, justice, and the American way. But the idea that Clark and Lex were once as close as brothers makes "Smallville" not only the story of how Clark Kent became Superman but also turns Lex Luthor into a tragic figure and makes it worthwhile for Michael Rosenbaum to shave his head half of the year (showing seeing his future self wearing a glove was a nice foreshadowing of how a kryptonite ring will cost him his hand).
In retrospect I was surprised that there were not more than an episode and a half to make up the period when Clark is without his powers ("Mortal"), and the idea of Lex Luther and Jonathan Kent running against each other to be a state senator does not strike me as the right move for either of them (Lex would not start with anything lower than the U.S. senate in the Herb Kohl/Jay Rockerfeller/Mark Dayton mold). The DC universe expands a bit more in season five, adding the future Aquaman ("Aqua") and Cyborg ("Cyborg") into the mix. With Chloe working at the "Daily Planet," it becomes clear Metropolis is closer than ever, which for me is the "Smallville" equivalent of warp drive on "Star Trek", to wit, a narrative tool that allows stories to be told even though in "reality" the small town and the big city are a half a country apart. But this is what happens once the "Smallville" gang graduates from high school, and like on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," going to college has proven to only get in the way of the larger story being told. I also find it interesting that the role of Lionel Luthor in the series is growing while the writers reduce the importance of Martha Kent by suddenly giving her a career.
However, I still maintain that introducing Lois Lane into "Smallville" was a big mistake, and nothing in the fifth season gives me any reason to chance by mind. A chance meeting, such as Clark had with Perry White, is one thing, but integrating Lois during the Lana years is a monumental change in the mythos. Of course "today" Lois Lane and Clark Kent are married in the Superman comics, but beyond the original key dynamic that Clark loses Lois but Lois love Superman what was important about them in the beginning was that she was the established big city reporter and he was the new rube on the block. Even if we never get to that point (I assume the series ends when he puts on the suit, but then I also think that either Lana or Chloe are going to be dead before that ever happens), "Smallville" has changed that part of the story and not for the better. Still, given that I have not liked the depictions of Lois from Margot Kidder to Terri Hatcher that have made her a bit ditzy for comic reasons, Erica Durance does combine confidence and competence in equal measure. Then again, episodes like "Exposed" give Clark ammunition for their battles down the road.
The main attraction in the Special Features is the featurette on "Smallville's 100th Episode: The Making of a Milestone," which could have spent a bit more time in the writer's room showing how they came up with the story, and there are also excerpts from the documentary: "Look, Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman." Then there is another series of Chloe's webisodes, this time entitled the "Vengeance Chronicles," and a decent dose of unaired scenes scattered throughout the six discs. There are only two commentary tracts. Stephen S. DeKnight, James Marshall, and James Marsters have the honors for "Splinter,' and then for "Thirst," writer DeKnight and several producers show up to make amends for what they consider to be the one episode from Season 5 that they think was a big mistake. It really is the comic tone rather than the subject matter that makes "Thirst" stand out like a sore thumb, because it is a bit over the top (compare it with the fun stuff in "Exposed" that reunites John Schenider with "Dukes of Hazzard" costar Tom Wopat, which works great). - Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2006One of the things that makes Clark Kent/Superman so compellingly different from most other heroes, is that Superman is who he really is. His secret identity is Clark Kent. Most heroes, like Spider-Man wear masks and try to detract any notion that they are the man underneath the mask. This is the on-going struggle of Clark in Smallville, as he constantly fights against who he is. Part of that reason, however, is that Clark has yet to find that identity. He doesn't quite know yet who he is, and who he will become.
Season 5 of Smallville can be described as a transition time for Clark as he changes from a small town boy from Smallville into a man who becomes more concerned globally about what is going on, not only with his family and the town of Smallville, but also about what might happen to Metropolis and the rest of the world. And let me just add that this is one hell of a season for this show! You may have thought that you had seen it all in the previous four seasons, but the great team of writers who work on the show still have a lot of story to cover. Check out the making of the 100th episode in this DVD package. I love how the writers just fly around the conference table, kicking ideas around. The success of any show truly rests in the power of the writers. If you can't continuously come up with compelling stories, then it really doesn't matter how good your cast is.
In this season, you will see Clark make the ultimate sacrifice. He must also deal with the loss of a loved one, even more catastrophic than the death of Alicia in last year's season. The episode that deals with this is one of the most heart-wrenching that you'll ever see. Clark will also find a most unlikely ally as he tries to fight against his toughest opponent yet. I'm not going to reveal too much story here in case you haven't seen this season yet.
In many ways, we watch the Smallville characters fleshing themselves out as they also transition from adolescence into young adults. Chloe is working at the Daily Planet now, and she is Clark's most trusted and valued friend. While she still has the thirst for the top story, Chole is ever loyal and faithful, and she simply won't put Clark and his secret in jeopardy. Allison Mack has truly solidified her position on the show and helped to cement Chole Sullivan forever in Superman lore. DC Comics has even announced that they will begin to integrate the character of Chloe into the comics.
Lana is a character who is still struggling with her needs. In some ways, she's become a very sympathetic character. Emotionally scarred from so many tragedies and losses, you have to wonder just how much more she can take. Kristen Kreuk still does a wonderful job of playing the beautiful but always hurting and lonely Lana Lang. She gives her trust and feelings so quickly and completely, she continues to find that she doesn't receive the same level of trust and honesty that she, herself, so willingly gives.
Michael Rosenbaum, who in my opinion, is the best actor to have played Lex Luthor as the corporate tycoon. No longer a young adult, or a pawn of his father's constant "games," he's taken Lex Luthor many steps closer to becoming Superman's greatest rival. He's become a master of half-truths and manipulation. There is a key episode in this season when Lex pretty much sheds the last part of his humanity for what he truly craves: power and money. It is almost sad to watch, because we, as the audience, have seen where he's come from. The writers have more than succeeded in writing Lex Luthor as a tragedy.
Tom Welling simply continues to broaden his range as an actor. If you don't believe me, watch him in the first season and compare his work with this one. He plays Clark with that spirit of goodness that is not easy to pull off. Tom has honed his acting to a point where a simple look is all that needed to tell what he's thinking and feeling. This is a tough season in the storyline of Clark Kent as lines begin to be drawn between those he can count on, and those he can't. Clark also begins to broaden his scope of vision. He realizes that sometimes, he has to give up something for the greater good. We see Clark slowly becoming the selfless hero that he will one day be.
One of my favorite actors on this show is John Glover as the Lionel Luthor. The show simply wouldn't be the same without him. The Tony Award winning actor is brilliant each and every season. This time, and in many ways, we wonder what Lionel's true motives are again, and how will they impact Clark?
This season also saw the addition of James Marsters as Professor Fine. Those of you who are not familiar with his work, he played one of the most popular television characters in recent years, Spike, from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Few people are familiar with his stage work. He is a fantastic actor, and Smallville was indeed lucky to get him on the show.
This season sees the greatest Smallville episode, "Reckoning" that I've seen yet. It is a virtually flawless episode that the viewer won't soon forget. However, this season also has the worst episode done yet, "Thirst," which is supposed to be a slightly funny spoof on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's a story about a sorority infested with vampires. The writers are trying to be funny, but this is one of the those times when they don't quite pull it off. While you might decide to skip this episode, I'd advise against it, as there are some key elements that are a part of this season's main storyline.
This season has many surprises and thrills. Another hero comes to Smallville. We saw the Flash last year, and Clark even helps another hero of the DC Universe. And, as you might have guessed, this season ends with yet another huge cliffhanger, and the appearance of a villain that will have you running for your Superman movies again.
It's no accident that Smallville is the WB's number one all-time rated show (now the CW network). The show has not lost any of its luster or the ability to continue to give us great stories. The show is successfully re-envisioning one of America's most prolific icons and symbols for goodness and justice. As Chloe states in this season, "the world desperately needs a hero." And is there one any more compelling than Superman? - Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2025Came quick and on time thanks

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother fantastic year!
Season 5 is full of highlights: the Clark/Chloe partnership, the Clark/Lois banter and growing friendship, "Buffy's" James Marsters as Professor Fine declaring that vampires don't exist - not to mention the handling of Jonathan Kent's death and the sudden switch of Lionel Luthor's allegiance. There are also lowlights: the seemingly endless Clark & Lana saga receives another outing but thankfully comes to shuddering halt, Lex's sudden romantic pursuit of Lana is sluggish and becomes boring. John Schneider & Annette O'Toole figure more prominently during this season as Jonathan meets his end in the wonderfully constructed 100th episode right in the middle of the run while Martha is targeted by a Kryptonian villain - although she is never challenged by Jor-El as her husband was. Tom Welling continues to shine as his partnerships with his female co-stars develop - with Allison Mack the Clark/Chloe hero/sidekick partnership gains momentum, with Erica Durance the banter nudges up a gear but is softened this year by the growing friendship between the two characters and with Annette O'Toole their relationship adapts as Martha Kent becomes a single parent facing the unknown alone. Welling also assumes the mantle of director for one of "Smallville"'s best episodes which features a story about a little girl with a dangerous power who gives Clark the paternal affection that her estranged - and murderous - father desperately covets. Favourite episodes: Arrival, Mortal, Hidden, Aqua, Thirst, Exposed, Solitude, Fanatic, Reckoning, Fragile, Mercy, Fade, & Vessel. I know people have their doubts about the episode Thirst but the commentary for it on this DVD set is a gem! - レイナReviewed in Japan on August 20, 2007
