Lucas G. @Luke6964 Jan 10 Best show ever well written hope, love, support, cgi, the emotion, action, plot, was good for its time everything is perfect especially a story line of what Superman went through before becoming man of steel See more Big P. @BP821 Sep 19 6 stars! One of the best seasons. Red Kryptonite Clark is peak TV. See more Edward L @Glyndower Aug 16 In retrospect, 20 years later this remains one of the best comic-book adaptations although the will they/won't they story arc of Lana and Clark becomes increasingly tedious in its repetitiveness. Since most of Smallville seems to know his secret why doesn't he just tell her. Presumably the show-runners didn't have the guts to reboot the franchise as everyone does now and get Lana and Clark together, at least we would have been spared the awful Erica Durrance as Lois. Episode 18 is probably the worst of the whole series mainly because it focusses on Chloe and Alison Mack's total inability to act ruins what might have been an interesting plot. It is a shame that the show got rid of Pete Ross but kept the pointless Chloe played by the dreadful Alison Mack with her gurning and silly hair.

Flashing back to the events of Season 2, Clark is in metropolis infused with the red kryptonite which drives him to rob banks. No one could bring Clark back to Smallville but Jonathan made a huge sacrifice by making a deal with Jor-El to try and bring Clark back. Jor-el gave Jonathan powers to bring Clark back which worked out pretty nicely because he was able to destroy the red kryptonite school ring. This would cause problems for Jonathan in the future by giving him heart issues because of the strain that the powers put on his body. During this season, Lex had a psychotic break which landed him in a mental institute where he was given electroshock therapy so he could forget about the evidence he had against his father. Lex actually discovered Clark's secret but forgot all about it when his memories disappeared. His father killed his own parents for their insurance money which started Luther corp and he did this by working with Morgan Edge who is played by Rutger Hauer. Morgan Edge actually got mixed in with Clark in his day fooling around metropolis and learned of Clark's secret. Lex always wanted to regain those memories back but never did so he planned to take his father down by finding incriminating evidence of something Lionel did. He did go through a special program which allowed him to regain some of his past memories like not being the one who killed Julian which Lionel told him that if he knew that it would have changed things between them.Lex was able to get the evidence because Chloe inhaled some weird gas from a Luthor plant which granted her the ability to make people speak the truth. She got the whole confession from Lionel killing his parents on voicemail which was later used to get him arrested. Lionel told Lex that he was diagnosed with a degenerative liver disease and that is why he was creating serums that could bring people back from the dead. This is where one of my favorite cameos comes in which is Adam Knight who is played by Ian Somerhalder and I only like this because I love The Vampire Diaries. Both Salvatore brothers have been in this show with Paul Wesley playing Lex's long lost brother Lucas from last season. Adam ended up dying because he turned crazy due to the serum being stripped away from him. He almost killed Lana so Clark had to step in like always and save her. Lionel doesn't go down easy because he is an absolute mastermind which is why I love him so much as a character. He caused the house to blow up when Chloe and her Dad went inside, he somehow poisoned Lex's drink at his own house all while getting a buzzcut smiling in his prison cell. Lionel was obsessed with Clark this season so I have no doubts that he will stop in Season 4. The fake Kara who is played by Adrianne Palicki came to Clark with all of the facts about his past life and tried to convince him to join her in the caves. She seemed pretty convincing and Clark decided to join her for numerous reasons. Clark and Lex had a falling out when Clark discovered that Lex was still investigating along with the fact that two of his closest friends were leaving. Pete decided to move to Wichita, Kansas because he was beaten to tell an FBI agent about Clark's secret and just couldn't do it anymore. Lana decided to go to Paris and this was mainly because of Clark. Clark was about to tell her the truth over dinner but things happened when Emily Dinsmore who is played by Amber Rothwell came back and kidnapped Lana to be friends with her. Clark decided not to tell her and let her go to Paris without saying goodbye at the airport. It turned out that Kara was someone named Lindsay Harrison and Joe-El gave her powers to lure Clark back into the caves. Clark didn't want to go but Jor-el threatened to kill Jonathan if he didn't so that is where Clarks story ended for the season. I really loved this season and the overall story of this season was just excellent writing. This cast is just amazing and everyone plays their roles so efficiently. Overall, I think this streak of good ratings for this season will carry on because I just love this show.

See more Person 1 @RT29440553 04/04/2024 I enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 a lot more than 3. Some of the writing in season 3 I thought was stupid or just boring. A few episodes where the stupidity was at an all-time high I just skipped to the next episode. But it gets good again towards the end of the season. See more Read all reviews
