The 7th Season of Smallville, unfortunately, has two fewer episodes due to the writer’s strike. Some of the problems in this season could be a declare result of this. Another snort is that the CW renewed the exhibit for an 8th season, but most of the contracts for the cast had ended, except for Tom Welling. In some ways, it seemed that the writers were struggling to advance up with a salubrious design to transition into Season 8 while finding a device to execute plausible exits for those cast members who will not be returning to the indicate. Unfortunately, this afflict Season 7 of Smallville to a degree. The expose loses some of its cohesiveness that they’ve enjoyed, especially in comparison to Seasons 5 & 6, which in my belief, are the show’s best seasons.
Of course, most people don’t realize how difficult it is to be a exhibit running for 7 years and have that high level of quality that Smallville has been. Most shows tend to lose something the longer they are on the air. Stories change, cast members reach and go, and it can be very difficult to have the show’s quality with so many changes.

Okay Smallville fans, we’re finally treated to what many people had been waiting for: Lana finding out Clark’s secret, AND Clark finding out that Lana knows. Many people, myself included, were expecting something grand for this occasion, since, for some people, they had been waiting for this moment for 7 years. The emotional climax is dry. One is almost forced to ask, “Is that it? Is this as enraged as they can regain? Clark FINALLY gets what he wants, and yet, he doesn’t seem as enraged as he should be.” Okay, we all know that Clark will eventually destroy up with Lois. But in that moment with Lana, I felt that there needed to be more than what they showed. I would contemplate that Clark would be satisfied! I would assume that Lana would have a ton of questions to ask him, especially given their history.
Exit Martha Kent from the present, enter cousin Kara (aka, Supergirl) . At first, I was extremely worried about this addition. And yet, newcomer, Laura Vandervroot does a credible job with the diminutive amount of time that she is on the present. It’s difficult to do a great character development on a character who is only in a handful of episodes. Purists may get a distaste that Supergirl demonstrates more powers than Clark, at this point, as he is detached unable AND unwilling to learn to hover.
Kristin Kreuk is also in the exhibit for a cramped time, and she even drops down to third billing in the opening credits slow Tom and Michael. She’s barely in the last five episodes as Kristin was in Thailand shooting a movie. While it’s not her fault, the final moment between Clark and Lana, via videotape is passe and leaves the viewer feeling cheated. Many fans who already seem to detest the character of Lana were given further ammunition when Lana breaks up with Clark via videotape.
James Marsters returns as Brainiac, and he’s unexcited as pleasurable as ever. I was elated to glimpse them bring the character aid.
Chloe is smooth Clark’s faithful sidekick but now she’s a “meteor freak;” a type of person that she has spent distinguished of her time trying to note. Now she’s faced with her acquire dilema of whether or not to impart boyfriend, Jimmy Olson that she now possesses the power to heal. While captivating, one tranquil can’t befriend but wonder how and when Chloe suddenly came upon this power. We are given no explanation or even possible theories.
Lois is as headstrong as ever, but toward the slay of the season, her character begins to soften a bit, especially toward Clark. You can’t wait on but consider that the writers are laying some groundwork for the future couple. I peaceful consider Erica is the best Lois to play the section, and Lois has some large moments with Clark at the destroy of the season.
Michael Rosenbaum is always fabulous, even though Lex level-headed can’t seem to avoid getting shot. The only predicament is that Lex doesn’t seem to be around as considerable. There are stretches where you miss him. I certainly did, considering he’s one of the strongest actors of the cast. There is a classic moment when Lex finally rids himself of the last label of proper that is left. The scene after he has killed Lionel, and he throws “Alexander” on the fire shouting, “You manufacture me old-fashioned!” is classic, vintage Lex, and Michael Rosenbaum has the character nailed chilly.
Tom Welling is superior as Clark. If he has one “weakness” it’s his pains in showing genuine, righteous emotion. There are scenes were he appears to be trying too hard, and it loses some punch because it doesn’t appear natural enough. His range as an actor has only grown with each season, but I’d like to eye him lose his horror of expanding his emotional range to include complete sadness and the sense of loss. He showed genuine glimpses of this during the time when Jonathan Kent died. He’s also composed a improbable director as shown in “Apocalypse” where Clark is given a chance to peep how things would be if he never came to Earth. It’s sort of a Smallville version of “It’s a Extraordinary Life.”
This season detached has some colossal and memorable episodes. Lana briefly possesses Clark’s powers (though at no loss of his hold) in “Wrath.” It’s a gargantuan episode, and you really understand why no one but Clark can handle that grand power; not impartial physically but psychologically.
“Descent” may be the season’s best episode as Lex and Lionel have their final confrontation that leads to tragic results for Lionel. The final scene with Lex and Clark standing on either side of Lionel’s coffin is a classic and great Smallville moment that is not to be missed.
As friendly as many episodes were, the season finale, “Arctic” is bit of a let down, especially when you compare it to past finales that always had beautiful cliffhangers that made you fear the 5 months until you procure out what happens! The scrape with “Arctic” as well as with the main storyline leading to it, is that it feels rushed. It was as if the writers were trying to speedy salvage through it as speedily as possible (especially with 2 fewer episodes to work with) in order to pick up things set-up for the next season. Unfortunately, the finale and main storyline suffer as a consequence.
Things might have improved greatly if they had done what other shows have done in the past: shoot a 90 little finale. This gives them more time for better station development, and it would not have felt rushed. You have the final confrontation with Brainiac. You have Clark and Lana dealing with their final moments. You have Clark trying to derive to Lex to prevent him from using a design that will somehow control Clark (a fairly faded thought on the writer’s fraction. It level-headed seems unlikely from a character standpoint that Jor-El would actually acquire some method to control Clark that could be ancient by humans even if they had to come by the clues to fetch it. Here Smallville went a cramped “Da Vinci Code” on us. Besides, I didn’t survey any exertion on Jor-El’s section when Clark was on red kryptonite and wreaking havoc in Metropolis) .
Because past seasons of Smallville have all been mammoth or beyond ample, I couldn’t befriend but feel that something was missing from this season. It felt rushed. It lacked the emotional depth that Smallville has utilized in the past, and the storyline turned out to be only proper when compared to past seasons.
I tranquil admire this demonstrate and have since the first season. Since the present has been picked up for another season, I’m really hoping that with a chunky 22-episode season, Smallville can bounce abet and extinguish the series with the efficient capability that the writers have shown in the past. After all, Smallville is about Clark becoming Superman, and I for one, want them to go out in a blaze of glory as Clark finally accepts his destiny and becomes the iconic hero that we all know and care for.
*NOTE: Spoilers within.*
I’ve been in adore with “Smallville” since the first day I saw the pilot. I’ve grown up with this display, literally, and I’ll stick with it no matter what. That said, I stopped expecting sizable or even estimable writing from the prove a long time ago. Maybe Joss Whedon has gross me. When I search for television now, I ask something spacious. Fortunately, “Smallville” has enough going for it to obtain up for the crap writing, but with top-notch writing, it could really be something colossal. Though most other fans will call me crazy, I stand by Season One as the best season of the explain, because even if the storylines themselves were nothing special, the writing and style of the demonstrate was advantageous. After Season One, though, things loosened up a bit, and when we hit Season Five, I figured that was probably as helpful as the prove would ever be.
But then came Season Six. Wow. Season Six was not unbiased a huge season of “Smallville”: it was a substantial season of television! The directing tightened up, the writing became clever and began absorbing the storylines along at a great faster dash – even Imprint Snow’s previously unremarkable music suddenly became intense, dim, and atmospheric. The present as a whole improved dramatically, and for that one season, the series soared like it hadn’t in years. The present hadn’t changed any of its personnel. It was impartial a sudden and inexplicable change.
So now we’ve near out of the series’ seventh season. Who ever belief the present would last this long? Considering that it has lasted this long, Season Seven is not so unpleasant. What it is, though, is bland. Most people would agree that Season Four was the uncouth point of the series. For all its shortcomings, though, Season Four was intellectual. Season Four was fun. Though Season Seven may be a small sturdier than Season Four as far as its storylines, it’s bland as hell. In fact, this may be the most bland season of any series I’ve ever seen. The writing usually honest cuts it. The directing impartial cuts it. The myth moves at such a boring hasten that a narrative arc which should be resolved over two or three episodes runs on for nine or more. To their credit, the actors are trying their best, but the material is too lackluster for them to really strut their stuff – and thus, the acting unbiased cuts it. Everything impartial cuts it, and that doesn’t build for the most bright season.
The season’s strongest point is the introduction of Kara, a.k.a. Supergirl, the other last survivor of Krypton. Laura Vandernoot is a magnificent bit of casting. She’s got the Supergirl study in her eyes. And guess what else? She can wing. As early as the second episode of the season, the writers descend hints that Kara’s going to narrate Clark to soar. In fact, the selling point of “Veritas” — which begins the final arc of the season and my personal least-favorite arc of the entire indicate — is that Clark needs to learn how to wing to defeat the resurrected Braniac (once more played by the peerless James Marsters) . But Clark doesn’t learn to coast, and there’s never any reason given for why he doesn’t. He unprejudiced doesn’t. By the demolish of Season Seven, Clark peaceful has not flown. That’s a cramped ridiculous.
The long-anticipated return of James Marsters as Braniac is one of the more gripping parts of the season. But despite a promising re-introduction, Braniac winds up as petite more than a background figure. He doesn’t even feel like considerable of a menace. He crops up and now and then to give the storylines a itsy-bitsy push, and then he’s gone. It’s really a unpleasant contrivance to Marsters and a misuse of the series’ finest non-Luthor villain.
Speaking of the Luthors, this season is a substantial one for the devilish duo. Lex takes his final steps toward becoming the mega-bad-guy he is in the amusing books. Despite this, the character only shines thrice through the season. The first time is in “Rupture,” an titillating tiny headtrip in which Lex is shot and Clark must go inside his mind. I’m not positive why, and I don’t reflect the writers were that determined either. This final examine into the mind of Lex Luthor reminds us of how kind he was when the reveal began — and how not-so-kind he is now. The second time is a moment in “Hero,” when Lex decides he needs to torture someone for information. Rosenbaum has rarely been better. In that scene, a cloud of absolute blackness surrounds Lex, and we glimpse honest how depraved he has become. The third time is in the season finale, “Arctic,” in a scene which “Smallville” fans have been dreaming of for some time. Tempting as it is, I won’t exclaim what happens. Suffice to say I’ll be very eager to gape how the writers try to work that puny twist into the mythology.
As for Lionel, well … things don’t go so well for him. Through this season, Lionel doesn’t befriend considerable of a purpose. John Glover, arguably the most talented actor ever to feature on the indicate, is left unable to do grand of anything. So in “Descent,” Lionel dies. And the worst share? I didn’t even care. I’ve always loved Lionel, but the writers had done such a terrible job of fleshing him out recently that he seemed more like a cardboard cut-out tossed into a scene here and there. When that happens, something is nasty.
That’s really the diagram most of the season is, though. It does have a few very qualified episodes. The season premiere, “Bizarro,” stays proper to the “Smallville” tradition of splendid premieres. Playing Bizarro is the only chance Tom Welling gets to shine anymore. The third episode, “Fierce,” is not going to scandalous highly in the pantheon of astronomical “Smallville” episodes. The episode revolves around three contestants in Smallville’s annual beauty pageant who choose to grasp advantage of Kara when she decides to compete in the pageant. It doesn’t sound that worthy, and it isn’t, but I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of the earlier episodes of the prove, when, even if the stories weren’t that proper, the writing was strong as the Man of Steel, there was an incessant soundtrack loaded with today’s most current music, and there was color — lots and lots of color. You don’t procure that in a season filled mostly with chilly purples and metallic blues.
In “Cure,” Dean Cain (of “Lois & Clark”) finally guest stars. Oliver Queen, alias the Green Arrow, returns in “Siren.” Queen was the best portion of Season Six, because Justin Hartley is a terrific actor. Beside being one of the most lovely men to ever appear on “Smallville,” Hartley can turn even the most amusing writing into something cracking and witty. It’s a pity he only shows up for one episode. Also in “Siren”: Dusky Canary makes her first appearance. Nice.
The best episode of the season, surprisingly, is the one that looked like it was going to be the worst. “Apocalypse,” directed by Tom Welling, is the inevitable Capra episode, in which Clark is shown what the world would be like if he had never arrived on Earth. Sound ridiculous? It obvious does. But it’s not. It’s a blast. The writing is strong and even clever, the acting is big, and the execution of the premise is surprisingly fun. A lot of this fun comes from seeing some true sparks waft between Clark and Lois. Given the focus on Clark’s relationship with Lana, one might wonder if it would be convincing for Clark and Lois to ever have a relationship on “Smallville.” But this episode proves it would be, because the chemistry between Welling and Erica Durance is absolutely incredible. The final treat: for two minutes, we accumulate to discover Clark in his disguise as a mild-mannered reporter for the Daily Planet.
Those are the better episodes of Season Seven. Now for the abominable ones.
“Gemini,” in which one of Lex’s feeble experiments plants a bomb on Lois Lane, is ridiculous and pointless. But “Hero” is a massive disappointment. It features the very, very long-anticipated return of Pete Ross (and Sam Jones III) to the point to, and it clear as hell wasn’t worth the wait. It’s fairly clear that the episode was written for another character to return; when that actor wasn’t available, they re-wrote it fair enough so it could fit Pete. But it doesn’t: Pete doesn’t feel like Pete. Additionally, Clark doesn’t seem to really care that Pete’s befriend. Wasn’t Pete’s best friend since they were in kindergarten? He comes assist and Clark doesn’t give a hoot? Reach on!
Let’s not forget “Sleeper,” either, an episode which lives up to its title. The increasingly contempt-worthy Jimmy Olsen is hired by the F.B.I. as a superspy to maintain track of Chloe, who somehow has managed to hack in to the government’s computers. It’s foolish, it’s painful, it’s embarrassing – it’s “Sleeper.”
The valid stinkers of the season are the final episodes. The season was prick down to 20 episodes thanks to the writers’ strike — and I mean THANKS to the writers’ strike. Anything more than 20 episodes would have been pushing it. The final few episodes feature the stupidest, most pointless, and most absurd storyline the writers have ever concocted. Apparently, Lionel and his ragged rich pals were portion of a secret group called “Veritas” — Latin for “truth” — which believed that some day, the “Traveler” would arrive to Earth and establish its people. Guess who the “Traveler” is? Yep, it’s Clark. The penultimate episode of the arc, “Quest,” which features a painful guest appearance by Robert Picardo, is absolutely the worst episode of the entire expose.
Finally, the season concludes with “Arctic.” It is the weakest finale the note has had, but considering the consistently high quality of the series’ finales, that’s not a awful thing at all. The ending scene, with the aforementioned twistiness and all, is one of the most spectacular scenes of the entire series.
So what’s next? Well, shockingly, toward the raze of the season, creators and executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar announced they were leaving the series. That leaves Season Eight in someone else’s hands, which is definitely a suitable thing. I’ve heard about some recent characters and storylines being introduced in Season Eight, and so far, they sound mountainous. The reveal really needs to acquire going if they’re going to tie this all together. The absence of Michael Rosenbaum next year will acquire some getting dilapidated to, but I mediate it was a wise fade. The absence of Kristin Kreuk is a wiser depart, because, though she seems like a superior person in actual life and I like her, Kreuk’s character is immensely irritating. Besides — shouldn’t Clark and Lois come by together? Let’s hope so. And let’s hope the writers fetch it together too.
