Smallville Season 6 Review
I have completed watching Season six of Smallville. So much as happened this season its difficult to know where to start. At the end of last season Clark was sent to the phantom zone, he manages to escape and defeat zod but in doing so some evil spirits and creatures escape from the zone and arrive on earth, these appear though out the season and Clark must defeat each one. This season introduces some new powerful allies for Clark, Ollie Queen the green arrow is one, he has the same goals as Clark just different methods which brings them to logger heads, the martian man hunter also appears like a guardian figure who has been watching over Clark from the shadows.
One of the good guys from the phantom zone, Raya was sadly killed, i liked her character and she could have made a new love interest for Clark seeing as Lana was marrying Lex. speaking of which it seems that lex has gotten so desperate that he will manipulate those around him in order to try and get them to love him, with lana he has a doctor fake a pregnancy, for a time Lana is really in love with lex and sides with him against clark, this is an interesting twist, you can see that lex loves to twist the knife into clark when he reminds clark of what he has lost.
Lois for a time dates the ollie but when he has to go and do his green arrow stuff it causes friction, clark even has to fake being the green arrow so ollie can keep Lois off his trail.
This season introduces the justice league, headed up by ollie as the green arrow, with fast kid bart as impulse, aqua-man from previous season and cyborg. they are a good combination and go off to fight crime, Clark is held back from helping them this season by his need to find all the escaped bad guys from the phantom zone. some of the techno abilities that are entrusted to Chloe in order to move the story forward is often hard to swallow, like hacking into satellite footage or bank transfers but still its hard not to like Chloe's plucky side kick image.
im quite sure this is the first season ever than Clark's room is ever shown, also the caves that featured so strongly in the past seem not to be a centre of mystery anymore, so many previous plots let to that location but now its gone out of fashion. Chloe becomes a meteor freak and at first is afraid she too will end up like her mother or one of the other freaks of the week. her powers let her heal people but at a cost she dies for several hours.
lex is become ever more evil, he can lie to Lana's face without a twitch, he is plotting a army of meteor powered super soldiers. Lionel becoming an defender of clark was not something i saw coming but he still uses Lana to defend clark by watching over lex by forcing her to marry lex even though she was going to leave him for clark, Lana at this point had learned on her own of Clark's powers.
the product placement on the show seems to be more blatant than is was in the past with clark driving a new truck yet it is said the farm is just getting by. Martha kent is rarely in the show this season since her being state senator. Lois has a good season with her getting close to ollie and finally have to break it off with him is very sad to watch. The season ends on a shocker that the real clark is trapped up in the north pole and that the phantom is now living as clark, i did not see that one coming and it was great to watch.
its difficult to see why lana would want to be with lex and its questionable did she really fall for him or was she trying to get back at Clark and when she got pregnant felt compelled to go through with it.
This season was a success in my book perhaps not a good as season 5 but it still had some very exciting developments.
