SMALLVILLE {5th. Season} (DVD Review) - 25/2/08

Didn't realise I was so close to the end of Season 5 - Should have been obvious really when the last 3 episodes all had "to be continued" at the end? Slapping out the old flannel again they churn up the Lana Lang/Lex Luthor relationship to burn some more teenage adrenaline this Season. Further forays into the Superman mythos crop up with a pleasing journey to the Phantom Zone and it's renegades. Lionel shows his change of heart is for the better of all and Lex starts down his own real road to hell. With an everchanging mix of standalone stories and the progression of the story arc we also end with some bitter-sweet moments with certain reflections on various characters and their reasonings. Bung in the usual grab-bag of Special Features to this 6-disc set which will want you leaving more for Season 6 to follow up with.
