SMALLVILLE {7th. Season} (DVD Review) - 25/9/08

Season 7 of "Smallville" comes across as very samey from all the previous Seasons what with the interwoven angst and hidden secrets, the back-stabbing & double crossing - It's sometimes very hard to see who is stitching who up and why? But this Season we do have some great delights on show - A handful of cameo episodes with former characters appearing, plus a couple of cameo roles from previous incarnations of Superman from TV & the big screen. We also lose a major character from the guest list with no explanation and a major character is also killed off. We also cover some of the deeper mythology of Superman and uncover a previous conspiracy arc as well. Lex comes into his own leaving a major cliffhanger for Season 8 plus a number of unresolved story plot points. The six-disc Boxset has a pile of Special Features with a couple of Commentaries on key episodes, a large selection of Deleted Scenes with Featurettes on both Supergirl & Jimmy Olsen plus an animated short on Kara with a digital comic book as well.
