Lucas G. @Luke6964 Jan 10, 2026 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 Rowan C @RowanC3 Aug 9, 2025 Season 9 of Smallville is the best season so far in this show for so many reasons. The season starts off with Clark beginning his training with Jor-el saving people of Metropolis without letting his personal life get in the way. This is all interrupted when Lois returns from the future with someone that came with her that was trying to kill Clark. Her name was Alia who is played by Monique Ganderton and she was trying to kill Clark so that he wouldn't destroy the world. This is the same person who also killed Jor-El who is played by Julian Sands later in the season. When Tess activated the orb she also released Jor-El because he was the one who orchestrated this science experiment on Krypton. He was gathering all the soldiers blood into an orb so that one day, it could be reactivated on a different planet that would grant them powers under the yellow sun. Lois had lost all recollection of the future but her memories were accessed by Tess who saw terrible things. This was a future where Zod had built a tower to make a red sun so that he could have powers because the Kandorians were without powers on Earth. In this future, Clark was killed by Zod, Chloe was killed by Alia and Tess was aligned with Zod but she was killed by Chloe. Thankfully this future never happened because Clark destroyed the tower that Zod was building. At first, Zod thought the blur was Jor-El but learned that he had a son right before his death. Zod murdered Alia for this act because Jor-El was his friend but Clark did not like that at all. During one of the random episodes, Zod was shot in the stomach but Clark saved his life by giving Zod his blood. This granted Zod powers and Clark didn't know for weeks until Clark was exposed to Red Kryptonite which made him align with Zod. Zod has also been pretending to be the blur to Lois over the phone which drove a wedge between Clark and Lois because Lois thought she had a higher calling than being with Clark. There was an item called the Book of Rao and Zod wanted this because he knew what it could do. He had united all of the Kandorians by giving them all powers through his blood and told them that the Book of Rao was going to be used by Clark to kill them all. The Book of Rao was actually intended for sending the Kandorians to a new world where they could live in peace without humans trying to kill them. Lois did find out the truth about Zod soon after he revealed himself to her as the blur because his hand felt different than Clarks. Clark saved Lois once again and even kissed her as the Blur in which she immediately knew that the Blur was Clark. There has also been a secret organization that I haven't mentioned and that is Checkmate. Checkmate is run by Amanda Waller who is played by Pam Grier and she was kidnapping superheroes to recruit them against the alien invasion that was happening. Her base was infiltrated by Clark at one point to save Oliver and even Jon Jones got caught up into this because his powers were restored in one of the crossover episodes with the Justice Society of America. Dr Fate who is played by Brent Stait restored his powers right before he died due to Amanda Waller who hired a killer named Icicile who is played by Wesley MacInnes to kill the Justice Society of America. There was a new player to Checkmate that no one knew that always left a red chess piece and she was a true mastermind trying to protect Clark. The Red Queen was Martha Kent and she even recovered the Book of Rao from Tess to give to Clark. We also got a very interesting love story this season between Chloe and Oliver, which was surprising to say the least. Clark and Lois are still awkward but I have a feeling that will change in Season 10. They were very in love with each other so hopefully that doesn't change, especially since Lois knows he is the Blur. Zod got his revenge against Tess in the fortress by burning half of her face off. Clark took her to the hospital but the doctors pronounced her dead soon after she told Clark that he is the only one that can save the world. Towards the end, it was the Kandorians vs Clark but this changed when he told them that Zod killed Faora who is played by Sharon Taylor. She was carrying Zod's child but the Kandorians overheard Zod saying that he killed Fayora when he was pressing Clark. They now sided with Clark and Clark activated the Book of Rao, in which all of the Kandorians were teleported into the sky. Zod had a trick up his sleeve by carrying Blue Kryptonite so that he wouldn't be teleported and got into a huge fist fight with Clark. Clark ended up letting Zod stab him with the blue kryptonite knife so that Zod would be teleported. The season ends with Zod being teleported to the new world and Clark falling to his death with the knife in his gut. Clark did everything he could to save Zod but he just kept wanting to rule the Earth. Overall, everything was great about this season besides some of the unnecessary filler episodes that were in it. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Nov 27, 2024 Interesting season. The dynamic between Lois and Clark was never the same as the relationship with Lana. The Zod relationship is also interesting and could be better. See more Jason R @J-Rush1411 Apr 20, 2024 Smallville season 9 starts with Clark training with Jor-el but unable to stop thinking about Lois, her absence made his heart grow fonder, Lois returns after disappearing while fighting Tess and having the legion ring, this season develops the Clark and Lois relationship further and has General Zod as villain. 9/10 there are a couple of filler episodes that weren't needed imo See more Andrius Y @cineastayps1661828 Mar 8, 2024 Enserio que es una fantasía dramática ver el final de el amorío casi perpetuo entre Clark y Lana y mas de la forma en que todo termina vaya que incluso me dolio. See more May 3, 2022 simply in the middle, not good but not bad. Great cliffhanger ending though. See more Read all reviews
