4.0 out of 5 stars A Transitional Season, May 27, 2008

By	Zachary Koenig "K-Dawg" (Fergus Falls, MN) - See all my reviews

Smallville's Seventh Season can easily be categorized into three distinct parts, each containing their own strenghts and weaknesses:

1. At the beginning of this season, Kara Jor-El (better known as Supergirl) is introduced. The developement of her character is a welcome breathe of fresh air to the show, while the description of her Kryptonian parents' relationship to Clark's Kryptonian family provides some intriguing backstory into the politics of Krypton. At the same time, however, the Clark/Lana soap opera continues, milking that relationship for all it is worth (a would-be touching moment in the finale is rendered midly emotional as a result).

2. The middle of the season struggled to find it's footing. On one (positive) hand, Clark takes a very interesting romp through Lex's twisted mind in "Fracture", while Braniac (always a well-acted, interesting character) returns to wreak more havoc on the House of El. On the other (negative) hand, the Grant Gabriel character arc completely fails, the much-hyped "Gemini" episode fails to deliver its potential, while the return of an old friend in "Hero" proves to be anti-climatic and contrived.

3. The final portion of the season, however, is what boosts my rating from three stars to four. The final seven episodes of the series deal with the mysterious "Veritas" society (of which Lionel Luthor is intimately involved in) that know of Clark's Kryptonian heritage. The quest to decipher "Veritas" leads Lex Luthor to take the final step (in a chilling scene) towards obsessive madness, puts Lana, Chloe, and Kara in mortal danger, and ultimately sets up a long-awaited Clark/Lex showdown.

To conclude, though the opening portions of the Smallville's Seventh Season were average at best, the "Veritas" angle brings back the intense drama that Smallville fans are used to. As the show progresses into what may be it's final (eighth) season minus a few long-time cast members, the look of the show may be quite different than ever before. In recent seasons, Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar have been heavily criticed for tampering with the heralded Superman cannon. However, with the depature of Gough and Millar following this season, perhaps the new producers will spend more time explaining how Clark ultimately became the Superman we all know and love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bad Blu-Ray Episode Menu, October 13, 2008

By	John C. Kotelly "Math Crazy Old Man" (Boston USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All Smallvilles are fun and well done. The previous Complete Seasons were easy to skip to individual episodes and sections within. The latest Blu Ray interface for this set is inane ... no episode menu that I can access using PS3 DVD player. One is forced to treat Season Seven Blu-Ray like a VHS and scan linearly. Retrograde.

The generating studio's technical staff should be upgraded or re-educated to modern User Interface standards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh the potential of Smallville..., September 13, 2008

By	David Stager (California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've watched the show faithfully from the beginning and it's just now getting close to living up to its tremendous potential. To me, the show peaked with the seventh season episode "Apocalypse" where we saw the world without Superman and peeked into the world of the modern Superman comic books.

I suppose there's no point in going through the episode details because if you're buying this you surely know most of that. So, focusing on the Blu-Ray version... the menu system is gone. We've seen this on Blu-Ray movies where it just plays the movie upon loading the disc. Same here. Loading the disc just starts playing the episodes. Pressing the menu button does not bring up the list of episodes, and is used only to allow access to special features.

Since the episodes themselves do not contain title cards and the printed insert does not include a chapter key - you're on your own trying to use the skip buttons to find episodes on the disc.

Part of why I buy the box sets is to be able to find a particular favorite episode to watch - not to watch the whole series in chronological order again. So, needless to say the menu design is severely flawed for a box set of this type.

Also, there are just three discs in the box for the entire season of 20 episodes. Therefore the HD, although still good looking, by necessity is at a lower bit rate quality than the Blu-Ray format can deliver. The season six set had 22 episodes on four discs.

I'm hoping that Clark will actually fly in season 8. He's been the Flash for seven seasons and it's about time that gimmick end.
