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. Bonus HD DVD features include deleted scenes in high definition, a 25-minute history of Green Arrow in comic books and on TV, a 30-minute fan spotlight, and two Smallville Legends tie-in series: a crude CGI series on Green Arrow that fills in his back story, and Justice & Doom, an animated comic book about the team. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

The make it or break it season.
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.

One of the best shows on TV
If you want a show with Action, drama, comedy, and a great plot, look no more. Now in his college aged years, Clark Kent's life is being molded into the future Man of Steel, aka "Superman". The sixth season introduces us to some new heroes, Martian Manhunter and the Green Arrow. Lana Lang also starts to piece things together this season too, but it might be too late as she heads to the alter to marry Clarks X-best friend, Lex Luthor. HD is the way to go for this show, you will truely enjoy it even more in this format. Can't wait for the 7th season already!!

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.
