Amazon.com: Picking up where its fifth season left off, Smallville's sixth season begins with Metropolis in ruins, Clark (Tom Welling) trapped in the Phantom Zone, and General Zod inhabiting the body of Lex (Michael Rosenbaum). Even when that situation, dubbed "Black Thursday," is over, Clark still has to capture the criminals who escaped from the Phantom Zone. Meanwhile, having driven away Lana (Kristin Kreuk), she finds comfort in the home and arms of Lex, driving further anxiety into that romantic triangle that has expanded to include Chloe (Allison Mack, still with a smile that lights up the orb on top of the Daily Planet) and her new beau, photographer Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore). And Lois (Erica Durance)? We see hints of her inevitable future in her becoming a reporter for the tabloid rag The Inquisitor ("The thrill of discovery, the clack of the keys, the scent of fresh ink… I think I've finally found my calling!") and flashing some sparks with Clark especially in a Valentine's Day episode called "Crimson."
She also finds a new boyfriend in Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley), a tycoon who moves from Star City to Metropolis and revives a boarding-school rivalry with Lex. But Queen is also a superhero, the Green Arrow, and he's out to thwart Lex's project called 33.1, which runs tests on meteor-powered humans. And in an awesome episode called "Justice," the Green Arrow gathers his team--Bart Allen (Kyle Gallner), a.k.a. Impulse (a change after he was first called the Flash); Arthur "AC" Curry (Alan Ritchson), a.k.a. Aquaman; and Victor Stone (Lee Thompson Young), a.k.a. Cyborg (who had all appeared in the series before)--with Clark to shut down Lex. Yet another hero from the comic books--an interplanetary detective (Phil Morris)--helps Clark fight rogue Kryptonians. It all ends in a slam-bang finale with a number of surprises. Even though the Lana drama went on too long, Green Arrow and some choice episodes stuff made this one of Smallville's best seasons. Guest stars include Tori Spelling as a nosy gossip reporter and Lynda "Wonder Woman" Carter as Chloe's mom. --David Horiuchi
Worst season to a great show While Smallville is a great show this season was, in general, at best mediocre and at worst horrible retreads. If it wasn't for the retread factor I would worry that the writers never watched the previous seasons, but it seems they did and just ignored it. Characters reverted to previous seasons incarnations. Character developments were scrapped totally. So on and so forth. This season makes the fourth look like high art and that season had the worst plotline ever, next to Buffy's season 4, oddly enough.
But there are highlights. Michael Rosenbaum, Alison Mack and John Glover all bring the goods. And Justin Hartley was also a nice breath of fresh air, although the superhero outfit looked wicked bad. Tom Welling did the best he could with the material he was given. As for Kristen Kreuk? Yikes. I cant really blame her either, the writers seem to really have no idea what to do with her and every time they go a direction they get scared and run back to "girl next door/craps golden eggs" base, which doesn't gel with anything really.
I await season 7 on dvd as I haven't seen it yet, but from what I hear season 6 might become my second least favorite season after that.
Smallville Season 6 The boxed set I received is in Great condition and I am very happy with this purchase.
Lex & Lana?!? Completing my Smallville collection, I give season 6 a C+ because I was not a fan of Lana & Lex getting together. Although there were many cool episodes, I was a little let down by season 6 due to the fact that the 1st season of Heroes was doing a much better job.
Smallville - Season6 I was skeptical at first whether I should buy this product, but I am glad I did. I really enjoyed it and it was breathtaking. A whole lot of things happen during this season (without revealing anything) Justice League, Lana Lang, and Clark Kent. Loved every episode, especially the black-in-white one. It was really special. I give this product 5 stars, because it truly deserves it.
My favourtie series on DVD. Since here in Europe we only get the recent season one year later than the US, it is so nice to can afford to buy the latest Smallville DVD on amazon.com. The american DVD packages are so much better designed than the R2 versions and include all the additional extras. Smallville has improved a little bit more in its sixth year , although Clark`s journey towards fulfilling his destiny as Superman was held back because of the Phantom Zone escapeès and his whining about Lex and Lana`s relationship, which reached its peak during Episode 16 (Promise). The DVDs were all in mint condition and this time without skips or freezes, unlike Season 1 and 5 , which I bought here previously. Considering the cheap price that amazon.com offers, every fan should get this beautifully made season and preorder Season 7 , which is due for release soon (9.11.08).
