One of the WB network’s most successful series so far, Smallville centers around the life of a high school-age Clark Kent in the years before he becomes Superman. Tom Welling is cast in the starring role of the teenage Clark Kent, who fled from the destroyed planet of Krypton. Having landed along with his ship in the farming town of Smallville, Clark is raised as a natural son by two locals Martha (Annette O’Toole) and Jonathan Kent (John Schneider). Quite unlike most Superman continuations, the series attributes powers to additional people in the township due the debris associated with Krypton’s demolition. As a result, Clark must keep his powers secret from the world while fighting against others who are far more powerful than regular humans. Smallville also gives us a glimpse into the early life friendship between Clark and Superman’s archenemy, Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum). Additionally, it covers Clark’s romance with high school classmates Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) and Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk). A hybrid science-fiction fantasy and a teenage dramatic series, Smallville is a modern day TV classic…
The Smallville (Season 2) DVD offers a number of exciting episodes including the season premiere “Vortex” in which Clark rescues Lana from certain death while Jonathan is buried alive with a obnoxious journalist (who’s uncovered the story of Clark’s secret powers). Meanwhile, Lex Luthor struggles with his own personal guilt while at the bedside of his critically injured father… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “Red” in which Clark first comes into contact with the dreaded “red kryptonite,” prompting a change in his personality and demeanor, and “Rush” in which the entire student body of Clark’s high school becomes infected with a “bug” that causes them to participate in outrageously dangerous behavior…
