Consistently solid with some major developments, the fifth season of Smallville 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 a Christmas 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 to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and another DC Comics character, Cyborg (Teen Titans), appears. Carrie Fisher plays Chloe's editor at The Daily Planet, and "Exposed" reunites Schneider with former Dukes 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

Description

An astonishing season of destiny! Clark Kent now carries a full load of classes at Central Kansas U., but that's not all he carries. He carries the full weight of his - perhaps the world's - destiny. "We call this season Superman in Training," series co-creator Alfred Gough says. "Clark is going to accept his destiny." During this exciting pivotal season: The Fortress of Solitude rises. A spaceship mystery unfolds. A dark tragedy - one even Clark's powers can't prevent - strikes. These and more key elements of Superman lore fall into place.

Smallville - The Complete First Four SeasonsSmallville - The Complete Fifth Season. Can't wait for Season Six.

Could NOT turn it off.......2007-05-23

I loved it! For a TV show the FX are amazing. I enjoy the story line even though its not reality its great entertainment. I got lost in the series and I cant wait to get swept away in the 6th season as soon as it comes out.

A worthy addition to the series.......2007-05-19

The overall storyline of Season 5 is the best so far in the series. There are a few cheesy episodes that could have been done without, but for the most part, fans of Smallville will enjoy the fifth season.

Season 5.......2007-05-16

What I liked the most about this season was the fact that Chloe has now become a much more important part of Clark's life. The friendship has become stronger and much more interesting. The relationship between Clark and Lana has some great moments and some heartwrenching moments(I especially like the opening scenes of the 100th episode). For any Dukes of Hazzard fans (the original series NOT the movie) it was great fun seeing Tom Wopat and John Schneider together. That episode featured some Dukes jokes that I really enjoyed. This season also continues the journey towards Clark and Lex being total enemies. It is overall a strong season despite a few questionable stories.

awesome show!!.......2007-05-13

Tom Welling continues to be gorgeous as Clark Kent. Lex turns even more toward the dark side. Clark meets up with some nasty Kryptonians. Brainiac appears. Clark loses his father. It's action packed, well written and just plain fun to watch.
