Smallville: Season 1 (6 Discs)

Well ladies and gents, here it is - This is where it all began!
I absolutely loved Smallville season one and I can say without a doubt that I will continue to purchase the later seasons as well.

This season has it all! Excitement, thrills, spills and it all just adds up to one thing doesn't it - ENTERTAINMENT AT IT'S BEST!

You won't be disappointed I assure you. Go ahead and Purchase it. :)

I've only recently began to watch the Smallville episodes properly, and in order, having caught many random episodes in the past, I've always wanted to begin watching them by the seasons but had never found the time, but finally I have done.

I've watched the first season & just finished watching the second season (Behind quite a bit I know) in the space of four days (trying to catch up quickly =P)

My personal opinion is that this Season is nowhere near as great as the Second. Not being a fan of the 'Freak of the week' episodes that are the bedrock of Season One proves to be the reason behind why I just don't like this Season that much, plus I really hate Whitney, and Lana's and Clark's problems with their relationship just ticks me off too much sometimes, it's like just get together already! (Even though I'd much prefer it if Chloe and Clark would)

I bought this box set recently before I'd had a chance to even watch the Second Season, but part of me wishes that I'd saved my money for the Second Season, but then again I plan on buying all the seasons as soon as I get the money to =P and what's a collection without the first Season, even if it's not that great.

I still give this Season four stars, just because it's Smallville =)

As most will know by now Smallville follows Clark Kent, played admirably by Tom Welling, during his teenage years as he starts his evolution into Superman. Throughout this first season we follow Clark as he gradually begins to discover the true extent of his powers whilst struggling to come to terms with the reasons behind them. In a clever twist on the mythology Superman's future nemesis, Lex Luthor, is also to be found living in Smallville and the show is certainly at its strongest when focusing on these two men and their struggles to avoid having their futures written for them.

A huge problem with this opening season however is the over reliance on the 'Monster of the Week' scenarios. Far too many of the episodes followed a similar pattern in which an (un)fortunate teen was affected by the Kryptonite meteorites endowing them with special powers and invariable one or more of Clark's friends and family would find themselves in trouble. These characters are introduced solely for the purposes of just one episode giving a perfect example of lazy writing. The script also lacks energy and humour when compared to shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural with far too much emphasis placed on the types of dull teen angst storylines seen on TV countless times before.

Despite all these faults there often were glimpses that the show could become something better and I will certainly give the show another chance in what is rumoured to be an improved season two.
