*There is an 11th season of Smallville! Check out my review: **czcams.com/video/BbR9iKH0ZUQ/video.html*
Where would you rank Season 11 in this list?
I know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Lennon Neil instablaster :)
I don’t believe you is it animated or what?
@@DrDeeez Smallville season 11? It's a comic book series. It's pretty good!
My favourite version of Lex is definitely Michael Rosenbaum
No one else can match his performance.
Wow, I actually have season 4 as one of my favorites for one reason. Lois is finally introduced and brought in fun, and a wonderful dynamic with Clark. The show was starting to get too dark and Lois changed the entire feel of the show.
Yeah he's waaay off base here. Clearly season 8 is the worst haha
@@natedg78 Season 7 for me was by far the worst
I don’t think there’s a such thing as a bad Smallville season
Agreed. But Season 4 was just off.
@@andrewm6424 Agreement!
Season 8
@@andrewm6424 no season 4 was goated
@@alex_5711definitely
There is something truly tragic about Clark and Lana’s relationship that sadly wasn’t explored enough, which is that Clark’s arrival was directly responsible for the death of Lana’s parents, as well as her being raised in a small town by her aunt. Clark’s arrival derailed Lana’s childhood and life in terrible ways, and Clark’s biggest fear wasn’t that Lana wouldn’t understand him being different, or that she would be in danger. His biggest fear was that she would never be able to be with him considering what his arrival did to her.
We never had even one conversation about that after she found out the truth. When that premise is ripe with interesting drama, a lot more interesting than stupid love triangles.
Some people forget that Lana’s life was completely changed and she became an orphan because of Clark’s arrival in Smallville. Clark did mention in one of the episodes that he didn’t want to tell her the truth because he was the reason her parents were killed.
@@Jan0630 Absolutely. There is an episode in season 4 I believe where the whole town has to face their biggest fears. Clark’s biggest fear was to see Lana blaming him for the death of her parents. Why wasn’t that explored or even mentioned when and after Lana found out the truth? They exhausted the Clana relationship for 6 years, and made her an annoying character, when there was a lot of potential for something a lot more interesting and tragic.
The Clark-Lana relationship was cute as a high school relationship. It should’ve ended there. High school.
I agree, she should've stayed in Paris lol! After that is when I don't like it.
But, for a television series named “Smallville,” I always knew that Clark and Lana were in there for a long time.
@@joshuarobertson8866 Dawg, as soon as season 2 hit, Lana became super fuckin manipulative about Clark and his secret. Even if it seemed like they were having a cute heart to heart, she always found some way to manipulate it into a 'Clark tell me your secret' kinda way
@@joshuarobertson8866 Yes but Smallville isn't about the comics, it's its own separate universe. I have no problem with Comic Lana, she was super sweet and a good friend. But Smallville's Lana post-season 1 was just as manipulative as Lionel Luthor, just a lot more subtle. After Clark saved her from the tornado, she grew to only care about his secret, not him. Seriously, go listen to ANY conversation between her and Clark in season 2 and 3 -- Literally ANY conversation they have -- and Lana will end up turning the conversation into manipulating Clark, trying to get him to tell her his secret. She's so extremely toxic.
@@ZakareeRandol Im currently rewatching the show and my opinion remains.
The reason the secret was a big deal is really Clark's fault
-He makes it clear to Lana there is a secret between them
And again keeps going back and forth regarding his emotions.
which is confusing and to Lana's perspective makes him a bit of a manipulative A hole because he still gets bothered when she tries to move on and date other people e.g... Jason and Lex but cant be honest with her
Clark is no saint which seems to be the problem with the fanbase. The way he handled his secret and Lana was pretty terrible.
Lana definitely cared about Clark beyond the secret
why? a few examples
1.Season 4 she wouldnt tell Lex she gave Clark the stone e.g... Lana didnt trust Lex at that point and knew he would not hurt her but may hurt Clark
2.When she discovers the secret she protects Clark from the Luthors and goes to the extent of marrying Lex
3. She even chooses to leave Clark in the end in season 8 because she knows her presence is physically killing him
4.Lana even protects Clark when she becomes a vampire and the other vampires want to hurt him
But again I don't expect you to see any of this if you dont want to see it.
We'll just have to agree to disagree and move on.
I dont think saying she cared about the secret more than him is accurate. Lana mentions a lot in season2 and 3 that she is grateful to Clark for saving her and always being there for her.
Clark pushed her away because of the secret.
"Transference " is one of the best episodes and one of Tom Welling's favorites. He nailed John Glover and Lionel Luthor.
Yes, seriously! And John Glover as Clark was also great. Plus we get the song Pain by Jimmy Eat World 💪
Fucking right? The end during the riot with the music and the one half second where Clark and Lionel look at each other is one of the scenes
Despite being poorly writen, Smallville is true gold. It comes really close of being great. I'm really happy this show exists.
This video was CZcams’s most useful suggestion, as the biggest Smallville fan ever.
I am so glad! That's exciting to me that CZcams recommended this video for you. Thank you so much for checking it out! I'm a huge Smallville fan, and I'm so glad meet more Smallville fans! I hope to have more chats with you about this great show!
@@ChrisDurban Durbania, glad you’re pleased. I just binged all your theological reviews of Smallville and it would have been a crime to not subscribe and like them. I grew up in a Christian household and started Smallville when I was about 12, now I’m 17 and your videos were a literal Godsend that helped me resolidify my faith whilst reminiscing about my favourite show. Thanks! Also, your videos are really well made.
@@tomlawal7991 Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words, and to hear that these theological reviews are resonating with you is Godsend for me. I wanted a place where I can nerd out and find God in my favorite movies and shows. I'm so glad to hear that this was an encouragement to you in your walk with God. Thank you so much for watching, and letting me know it resonates.
My absolute favorite show of all time. I totally agree on the Lanadrama. (which is what I always called it too XD) That was really my biggest gripe from the show. I wanted to get back to Superman's origin and not keep going back to Lana whining about Clark not being honest with her all the time.
100%!! Whenever they did the Superman origin stuff it was incredible! And then the #LanaDrama would take it backwards. That's my biggest gripe with the show as well. But still one of my favorite shows!
What I'm wondering after watching this is - How would the ranking have been different without the Clana drama or if their relationship had been handled better?
I always thought that if Clark had been honest with Lana after the tornado and she dated him through the remainder of their high school years, only for them to go their separate ways as friends after Season 4 or 5, that would have been much better. Then Lana could have come back occasionally as a recurring character for the later seasons, without getting in the way of Clark and Lois.
To me, the concept of Clark trying to help each person affected by Kryptonite is interesting because it shows he truly blames himself for just being here because it caused pain and inconvenience for so many people. He really does try to save each one, it’s huge for Superman to show he believes everyone deserves a chance and there’s always hope.
I also think this is mirrored in the season he tracks Phantoms he accidentally released. There’s a lot of consequence to his actions and he always felt guilty because he feels he should do and be everything to everyone. It’s hard to learn you can’t save everyone…. 14:49 RIP Jor El ❤
Even the creators of smallville hate season 4 as a whole. That should tell you everything right there.
I’m late to this party buddy, but what I love about season four the most is when they introduce flash to season four that was one of the best and coolest things they did that season. And I did like the whole artifact witchhunt I didn’t like the witches, but the fact that Clark needed these to save the world and everybody else wanted them for selfish reasons. It actually made it for a pretty good plot point.
I can’t rank the season, I don’t think I can even pick a favorite. Every season has some of my favorite moments. I even liked the season 4 plot.
There were things I loved about season 4. Each season truly does have some great stuff. This wasn't an easy ranking for me so I totally get where you're coming from.
I have been thinking about smallville for a few days now, I grew up watching it and I wanted to find a good ranking video to make me nostalgic. This video has done just that. Really well made. Thank you friend!
Was initially a bit worried about watching the later seasons (about to start 7), but the rankings here and in the comments are very diverse. 8 & 4 are generally considered the worst, but some people ranked them a lot higher than last place. I’m glad most people here seemed to get enjoyment out of every season. Will soon judge the last ones for myself.
Same about to star S7
s4 is my fav
8 is great. CGI is awful but I love the story
Soooo agree! The Lana drama was so pointless. Didn't watch most episodes that focused on her. So happy when Lois shows up, like light at the end of the tunnel!
Totally agree! We see this unhealthy relationship for so long and then finally we have Lois and Clark, and this Lois is my favorite!
I was pro Clark and Lana. It was so pure. And I knew this wasn’t meant to be but you can see they both really loved each other and I was rooting for it. I became pro Lois during season 8 where she looked more like a beautiful woman. She made Lana look like child’s play by season 8. Season 4-7 Lana was still the one to me
I still don't understand why they kept Lana in the show for so long. When her and Clark were never gonna end up together. To begin with, he was meant to be with Lois.
@@mattmccullough1093 at first they didn't have the right to use Lois in full capacity, thats why Lois shows up for an episode, or two, then fucks off for half a season.
Stupid WB exec logic in separating Big Screen characters from tv characters, even if its explicitly said its an alternate timelines/interpretation. The same stupidity continued all the way into the Arrowverse, thats why they dance around characters, logos and names, thats why we never got Batman in either show's universes and thats why it took so long until they agreed to give the ok to use Lois full time in Smallville. Now that I think about it I bet that is the real reason why we never got Clark in the suit.
Its so stupid it feels like if some randoms were making a rip off show and were trying to avoid copyright infringements lawsuits, with the difference that the people making the 'rip off' are actually working for them, so it makes no fucking sense.
Comment on season 10, Tom Welling attempting to avoid typecasting, had it written into his contract that he would not wear the suit, so that's why he never wore the suit
That makes sense. It just makes me sad waiting 10 years for that moment. But that’s okay, it’s still one of my favorite all time shows.
I don't see how that would have avoided typcasting, so NO! That makes no sense!
There were six problems with Smallville that were easily avoidable:
1. No flights, no tights: This was relevant in the first five seasons, but by season 6 it made Clark seem like he was operating with one hand tied behind his back. Clark should've started flying earlier, and he also should've been able to wear the Superman outfit for more than just the final scene in the final episode.
2. Metropolis in Kansas: It is logistically and geographically impossible for any city the size of Metropolis to be located in landlocked Kansas, especially since Vancouver doubled for Metropolis, a city that is surrounded by water. Metropolis is an east coast city.
3. Meteor freaks and Kryptonite being the reason for everything: The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer managed to do the monster-of-the-week storyline much better by properly balancing them out with the main mythology episodes and character story arcs. Smallville became too dependent on meteor freaks and needed to develop its characters better.
4. Lana Lang: LANA LANG IS NOT THE WOMAN CLARK ENDS UP WITH AND IS NOT THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE!!! So don't write her like that. She's Clark's high school love interest and has little to no relevance after high school ends in season 4, so her relationship with Clark should've ended for good by season 5. Dragging that storyline out only dragged down the show.
5. Lois Lane and Chloe Sullivan: After five seasons of buildup, Chloe Sullivan should have become Clark's new love interest after season 5 instead of wasting her character on a sophomoric and inconsequential relationship with the doomed James Olsen, and wasting Clark on two more seasons of obsessing over Lana long after that storyline had run its course. Also, Clark's relationship with Lois Lane should've began much sooner without Lana Lang hanging like a shadow over them and undermining Lois.
6. Bruce Wayne: Not only did Smallville need Bruce Wayne in Clark's storyline as his best friend, but Warner Bros. should have allowed The WB to go forward with their original plan to create a Gotham-style television show to run as a companion to Smallville in a shared universe, a project that was already being developed back in 1999 as "Bruce Wayne." No disrespect to Justin Hartley, but Oliver Queen is a poor substitute.
2. Metropolis was NEVER said to be in Kansas, dumbass.
6. They COULDN'T use batman, so had no other choice.
You're absolutely right. And it's genius to have Chloe as his 'transitional' love interest. I would have loved to have seen that.
@@slendersera Well, that's where the show looked like it was going by season 5, towards Clark and Chloe.
You gotta do your top 10 favorite Smallville episodes now 😀
Lol! There are so many good ones!
@@ChrisDurban I know lol. Which is why it would be so good to see. Consider this a new Smallville challenge from a fellow Smallville fan
I can watch you talk Smallville for hours
You shouldn't hate the lana drama, Clarks Obsession with lana humanises him. It's part of his growth
Idk what my ranking would be, never really thought about it, I do know my least favorite of the show and my favorite season. Seasons 4 and 6 are my least my favorite seasons. I really don't care for the drama Lana brings. Everytime she is on screen, it feels like high school drama bs. The first couple seasons where they are in high school, that I can get behind it being high school drama bs cuz it is taking place during that so it just makes sense. But I just can not stand Lana after Season 5. I also just really care for Season 5 tbh all that much too.
My favorite season is probably Season 9. The writing and fights in this season is awesome. Zod vs Clark is just awesome.
I can re-watched the first few seasons over and over again but I always find it incredibly hard to get through seen six and onwards
My take on clana is it was clarks fault, i mean he was obsessed with her, she was just returning the favour and saving her in season 1 finale didn't help either because she wasn't dumb; she knew he was hiding smth and knowing he liked her, she felt some way knowing she was the last to know.
But once lois was introduced, they should have moved on.
Lana did deserve to know
I’m on season 5 I will come back and watch when I’m all caught up
Sounds good!
You caught up?
@@tristan8305 on season 6
@@damenicionscott took you 5 months?
@@tristan8305 I need the dvd sets I don’t have Hulu anymore that’s why physical media is still important
still the best CW show ever
I agree with that!
I agree too!
i really like this series..its remarkable
@@kurtnet absolutely!!!!
@@rustyblonchjr8660 yes absolutely. It is one of my favorite shows. It is truly a treat to watch.
I completely agree, although I would've loved that Clark would've Zod Lex a little more but in the end falling from inexperience.
One of the things I would've improved in the show are Clark's fight scenes with beings like the phantoms. I don't like that his only move is to throw his oponent and that's it 👎🏻
I too got so tired of the Lana drama in season 8 (well from seasons 1 thru 8 really!). I was so glad when she finally left for good!
Great ranking man! My ranking changes a lot, but right now, my ranking from worst to best is:
10. Season 4
9. Season 6
8. Season 1
7. Season 9
6. Season 3
5. Season 2
4. Season 7
3. Season 8
2. Season 10
1. Season 5
That is a great ranking! I can understand why it would change a lot. This is a very good show, and even the worst seasons have great episodes.
4 and 6 are my favs honestly
Season 10 didn't do it for me
Season 4 and 5 are my 2 favorites
i don't get the love of 5. It was just annoyingly stupid, everyone did dumb things for no logical reasons just to have S6....exist. It could've just been a movie IMO. And again, no Lana/Lex...that was abysmal.
Tom won wellibg expressly stated he would not do the show if he was seen in the suit.
They met with a compromise. That compromise was the legendary Superman music with the final shot of Clark wearing the s
Honestly the one thing I took away from this show is that everything is done well. Yeah there were some things that went nowhere, but they gave it their all no matter what. From the production, to the acting, and the writing, this show to me is THE standard for writing/producing classic superhero shows.
I think that proper Lana goodbye would've been her death at "Reckoning" instead of Jonathan, with her dying despite Clark trying to change the past.
Jonathan could've died in S6 opening, being the ultimate sacrifice to stop Zod. That way, we'd still have Clark mourning his father AND love interest. Lois could've end up with Lex in S6.
That way, there would still be "Clark against the world" feel that we had in S6, but it would've been way darker and could put seeds of doubt inside CK that would eventually lead to S10 and whole Darkseid arc. But would've been way too depressing for soap teen drama, I guess.
Nevertheless, first half of S5 is probably the best 12 episodes of the show straight. At that time, Smallville felt more like a serious drama than your Thursday evening TV show.
OG show at it's peak.
UPD: also, the last few episodes of S7 truly show that potential which it had.
The series should've completely focused on Lex-Clark showdown starting in "Descent" till finale. Had distractions here and there instead. And whole "Arctic" showdown should've been separate episode instead of a few minutes. Like, people were waiting for it for 7 years, come on.
My top 10 Ranking of the ten seasons from #10 to#1 from my least favorite to my absolute favorite would be...
#10: Season 1
#9: Season 3
#8: Season 4
#7: Season 7
#6: Season 2
#5: Season 5
#4: Season 6
#3: Season 8

#7:
Really good ranking man! I use to watch this show all the time.
Thanks! It's one of my favorites as well!
So glad I found this video! Great job ranking the seasons, honestly I would rank them exactly the same way. It is great to see that someone else feels the same way about how awesome this show is, and how all the Lana drama really slowed things down. Great job! Go Crows!!
Go Crows! I'm glad you found this video too! Smallville is such a great show, and even their worst seasons are still good. So this wasn't an easy ranking, but it is how I feel in the end. It was a blast going through this show again to do my review series and ranking. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Re-watching the series now. Brings me back to my childhood.
in my opinion if there's a little plot in every season..all i can say is... this is the BEST tv series ive ever watch..all the cast are great..and most of all.. the one and only tom welling as a clark kent..EXCELENT.👍
“I think Alison Mack is great as Chloe but she was also great as a villain” yep she’s one heck of a villain
Yes, Erica is the best Lois Lane ever. I agree!
I only saw the brunette Lois Lane! Lois & Clark had great chemistry!
Ugh the Lana drama....why???!! You described season 8 well with how it's like the show fell asleep for 5 episodes that randomly brought back Lana, and then woke back up as if nothing happened. My biggest pet peeve of the show is that they never gave proper closure to Clark and Lana, and always made it feel like Lois was his second choice rather than his one true love.
I agree. They should’ve made it a proper ending for Clark and Lana at the end of season 7, and then it's done. We know Lois isn't 2nd to Lana, but what they did with Clark and Lana in season 8 gives that feeling.
Never felt like she was 2nd choice to me
@@ChrisDurban They should've ended it with that scene in the barn during Chloe's wedding in season 8. Lana sums it up perfectly in a redeeming way that could've shown how both of them matured. Very well-written scene and then they ruin it in the episodes afterward lol
Maybe it’s cause I watched it in like 8th grade but I remember season 4 being my favorite lol. Mainly cause it introduced Lois and I loved the whole football arc with Lex
Great recap I loved Smallville and rewatch diff episodes all the time :-)
Season 8 is easily my favorite season. I love this weird twist on Doomsday.
It was a lot of fun for me this last time I watched it. And it is a unique Doomsday origin.
Recently rewatched season 5 and I was shocked by how much I loved it
S5 is great
Brainiac didn't disappoint
I agree that the Lana-Clark thing went on WAY too long. I hoped that once Lois Lane came into the picture, Clark would slowly start moving on from Lana in favor of a more mature, witty, and strong-willed woman who didn't ask about his secret every time they talked. As far as I am concerned, Lana Lang was never entitled to his secret because it's personal. Clark Kent being an orphaned extra-terrestrial from a long-gone planet is a lot to take in and is very personal and traumatic. The trauma comes from Clark learning that he is not human, that his birth parents died when his home planet was destroyed, and that he's going to outlive every single human on the face of the planet. Clark was dealing with so much personally that every time Lana demanded Clark tell her his secret, you could tell how uncomfortable he was because of trauma and not knowing how to say out loud "I'm an Extra-Terrestrial from a long-gone planet called Krypton".
I mean that Clark's secret isn't something that is easily verbally communicated and is hard to wrap someone's mind around. Also, Clark didn't want anyone to look at him differently and was afraid that Lana would hate him for inadvertently killing her parents, even though he had no control over the meteors that showered Smallville.
Smallville as a whole is a great TV Series and I love watching it. I only wish the Lana-Clark thing was resolved sooner. No shade to the Actor who played her. Kristin did a wonderful job. I just wish the writing was better.
to me season 9 is not only my favorite season. buy also imo the best season.

Absolutely love this show!! Awesome idea to rank them! Also def agreed with your list :)
Thank you so much! It's one my favorite shows of all time.
@@ChrisDurban same here! I have it on DVD and watch it Atleast once a year! One of my favorite Superman’s!
As a diehard fan back in the day, I love your passion in your critique. SUBBED!
My favourite television series of all time.
1. Season 3
2. Season 2
3. Season 4
4. Season 10
5. Season 1
6. Season 5
7. Season 7
8. Season 6
9. Season 8
10. Season 9
Somewhere in season 11 you'll see him wearing the entire Superman suit
Season 5 has always been my favorite as well. I love season 3 too. But I'm going to have to disagree with some of the others, especially season 4. Man, I love this season. When I watched it at the time, I really didn't like the story of Lana and the Countess, but looking back on it, it's very interesting. The episode where she reappears in Shanghai and she finds the third stone is one of the best.
Now I'm gonna have to go and watch em all again lol
I was trying to rank the seasons but I honestly love them all, even seasons 4 and 8 which I heard were generally disliked. I have a love hate relationship with the Lana thing, it was annoying and definitely toxic at times (especially the early seasons) but I really liked how tragic things turned. Clark seeing Lana's video with Lois comforting him and Clark and Lana's final goodbye were both extremely powerful, well acted scenes that really got to me. But back to the ranking, Season 10 would definitely be my number 1, the 200th episode is one of the reasons. From the flashbacks, to the funny yet entertaining high-school reunion story, to Lois and Clark's CUTE dance at the end... hands down one of the best episodes to ever celebrate the legacy of a TV show. I honestly felt like crying because it was just so well done. No other TV show has made me feel this way except Supernatural and how they celebrated their 200th episode.
Ranking the seasons was pretty hard to do, it’s overall such a great show. I agree that episode 200 is great. It’s one of my favorite episodes!
Every Smallville season. My joint personal favourites are seasons four and six and my least favourite was season eight, but tbh I liked every season of this great show as it was so consistent and awesome and Clark Kent's journey in Smallville was nothing short of spectacular to watch imo after seeing every he went through before he took to the skies, though I agree some episodes and seasons were better than others but overall I loved every second of every episode of every season of this brilliant show thanks to its awesome cast and crew who did a fantastic job and why it lasted for ten seasons as everyone on Smallville must've been doing something right for it to last that long. Will we ever see anything like this again? Who knows but I'm happy that this show exists and I love it for what it is and what it did and I wouldn't change anything about it, though there’s places where the writing could’ve been better and Tom Welling could’ve put the Superman suit on. For me Smallville started off good with season one, two and three, got better with season four, five, six and seven, went down a little bit with season eight then picked up again a little bit with seasons nine and ten, but in all honesty, every season was good imo, though we all have our views on them and that's ok. Always Hold On To Smallville and Smallville Forever 🔴🔵👍🏻
#Smallville #AlwaysHoldOnToSmallville #SmallvilleForever
1. Season 5 (9.2/10) (Perfect Balance of The Old and The New)
2. Season 9 (8.4/10) (While it did rip off the Matrix to some degree, Callum Blue was phenomenal as Zod and the Clark & Lois romance was finally getting somewhere. Not to mention, Absolute Justice!!!😏)
3. Season 10 (8.4/10) (Great conclusion to the show, even though some elements could've been handled better)
4. Season 8 (8.4/10) (Lana & Lex could've been utilized better. The Finale had some issues too but Clark at the Daily Planet? Sign me up!!!)
5. Season 6 (8.4/10) (The Justice League and "Zod Lex" were awesome but the love triangle? Not so great.)
6. Season 3 (8.4/10) (A bit slow in the middle but exciting with some enjoyable Filler episodes and boy, it was much darker than I thought it would be🙈)
7. Season 4 (8.4/10) (Some aspects are tiresome but it's a great conclusion to the high school era of Smallville)
8. Season 2 (8.4/10) (Slight improvement over Season 1, with Christopher Reeve as the icing on the cake😏)
9. Season 1 (8.2/10) (Still finding it's feet but a solid foundation nonetheless)
10. Season 7 (6.5/10) (Bloated, Unfocused and Oddly Paced)
That's a great ranking!
@@ChrisDurban Thanks, gonna check yours out when it premieres 👍
Thank you season 7 was the worst
I heard that the Superman shirt we see at the end of the series finale episode is actually a real Superman shirt
The fact that this show doesn’t really have a season where you hate is truly something. It’s rare. Sure some seasons are weak, but there are some amazing moments.
4, 5, 3, 2, 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I really enjoyed season 4
To me, this analysis of Smallville indicates that the reviewer thought it was more of a middling show.
Season 9 is all time fav
Season 9 is good. I love the Season 9 finale!
You are underrated, you make great videos!!!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy my channel!
I have a couple of things. With Doomsday season 8. Couldn’t they just save Davis by splitting him from Doomsday and then have Clark fight Doomsday and then bring him To the phantom zone and destroy Doomsday’s body+Turning him into a Phantom. With Darkseid couldn’t they Made Darkseid look like a human without the usual Darkseid’s Color. Kinda like what they did with Brainiac making him look like a human instead of make him a robotic like person. That would have been so much better For me don’t you think.
With Doomsday I think the message was Davis, the human side, was just as much a monster as Doomsday. Season 9 is more than Clark just mourning Jimmy, he is coming to terms with the darkness in humanity. He was taught his human side was good not his Kryptonian side, and that view was truly challenged.
I see what you mean about Darkseid. It definitely would've been more of a character that way. Maybe it would've been more interesting if he had possessed mirror-verse Lionel sooner, and walked the earth as him. I would've been down for more of that!
Just finished rewatching the show all the way through for a second time and had an amazing time rewatching it. So my ranking from best to worst.
1: Season 1
2: Season 5
3: Season 4
4: Season 2
5: Season 3
6: Season 10
7: Season 9
8: Season 6
9: Season 7
10: Season 8.
I think the first 5 Seasons and Seasons 9 and 10 are pretty fantastic. But Season 1 for me is my undeniable favourite because of how simple each plot was for the episodes. It felt like the whole story of season 1 didn’t feel convoluted like some of the later seasons do. Still I love the show overall and honestly Season 4 in my opinion is the most underrated season.
Season 4 is my favorite.
4 and 5 are great.
Very fascinating review. However, I loved the character of Lana Lang. I thought she had one of the most powerful character arcs in the series. Also, Kristin Kreuk just really did an amazing job portraying the character especially when you consider the inconsistent writing. Aside from that, you make incredibly solid and insightful points. Plus, we both agree Season 5 is the best.
How so?What caracter arc did u see?All I saw was her always whining about knowing every little dirty secret and then keeping secrets herself,and after that playing the in ocent pretty girl card
I agree that the actress was indeed good,but the character itself was rather week
@@lemontaingaming4095and yet, she developed a luthor like Persona and learnt how to stand up to others! And could fight her away out of several situations
Ok from reverse order...
10) season 9
9) season 8
8) season 4
7) season 6
6) season 10
5) season 7
4) season 5
3) season 3
2) season 1
1) season 2
After season 5 (imo) the show really drifted into meh territory.
I think my most hated moment in Smallville is when Lois and Clark are about to kiss and Lana interrupts. Then Lois is just pushed aside and forgotten. So when Clark finally takes Lana's photo out of his wallet and puts it in an album. My thoughts where FINALLY!
10: Season 3 Good, but my issue with it is i didn't really care for the Lana and Ian Somerhalder subplot, it's a great season for Lex and Lionel. Another thing about season 3 is when Clark gets stabbed, that was a rough episode my first time through, its gotten better but it was just a lot to take in.
9: Season 7 There are some plot holes due to the writer's strike, like how did Kara get into the phantom zone? I honestly didn't know when she became Brainac and honestly i felt like the Lex story didn't end in the best way for Rosenbaum's last season as a regular.
8: Season 8, the main reason is because I didn't care for the Chloe and Davis arc, I loved Allison as Brainac and I kind of felt like Sam Witwer's performance at times was weak, he's a great actor, but I admit i struggled with some of the scenes he was in.
7: Season 2 I think my biggest issue with season 2 is I had a bit of a hard time with Clark destroying the space ship at the end, i know it was necessary, but i kind of had a hard time with it for some reason.
6. Season 6 I love season 6, its got some great moments, but there are also some things i don't like for example, i didn't like the whole Lana and Lex story in Season 6, I agree with you there, but overall its a good season.
5 Season 1 It's a great start to the series and I think my biggest thing with season 1 is the beginning with Whitney and Clark, it gets better, but i think that was hard for me.
4 Season 9 A great season, lots of fun stuff, Martha returns with Perry White which i think was fun, The whole Justice Society story was fun and i enjoyed it, plus seeing Tess Mercer interact with the Red Queen was fun as well.
3. Season 5, my biggest issue in this season is Lana and Lex, i hated that part, but enjoyed most of it.
2. Season 4, I didn't have very many issues with season 4, it's the introduction of Lois Lane, plus Chloe finds out Clark's secret, I kind of love the whole Isabell storyline with Lana, Jason is a fun character, and I like his conclusion.
1. Season 10, a great ending to the series, so many returns, i don't think there is one episode i didn't enjoy, plus i love Tess' redemption arc.
10. Season 2
09. Season 8
08. Season 1
07. Season 3
06. Season 10
05. Season 4
04. Season 6
03. Season 9
02. Season 5
01. Season 7
S4 is a mixed bag but some of the episode like Crusade, Run, Transference, Onyx & Commencement are some of the best of the entire series. I think I’d put 6 last tbh.
Seasons 2 & 9 are the best.
SMALLVILLE was when CW was still good ONE Tree Hill Supernatural Vampire Diaries listen to lexes podcast Inside of You? Responding?
Smallville was the only that I watched back in the day, and I really liked it. I thought the first two seasons of Arrow and the first two season of Flash were good. But everything went downhill for me after that. I do like the Inside of You Podcast.
I came here for the Lana slander :)) I'm joking, but yeah she had a very short shelf life as a character, after that she was dragging the show down most often than not. Kristin Kreuk being so beautiful carried Lana.
I never mean anything against the actress. But Lana and Clark always seem to bring each other down while Lois and Clark lifted each other up.
Season 8 is so damn hard to rank because overall it's one of the best most focused seasons by far throughout and I love the Davis Bloom storyline descending into madness and becoming Doomsday. I hated that finale. Hands down the worst finale of the show and never have I been so disappointed with this show. All that hype, all that promise just for that. It kills me everytime. The stuff with The Blur is also great. I also think Tess was a great addition to the cast and while she's no Lex they give her a lot of depth for a new character introduced in the eighth season of a show. They really developed her character and made her someone you are intrigued by and enjoy watching. But I agree the Lana storyline and bringing her back with powers and then her taking on Lex who's not really the Lex we've watched for Seven seasons so that and the finale drop it immensely for me and honestly I was disappointed with Oliver Queen this season. After his awesome introduction and storyline in Season 6 and bringing him back in Season 7 to now he's a full on regular in Season 8, I was expecting a full on Green Arrow and instead he was sidelined and that brings Season 8 down for me a few spots but my god the potential it had to be a top 3 season. Ughh! That finale kills me.
Season 3 is actually the first full season of Smallville I watched and it was my first real introduction to TV shows so it will always hold a special nostalgic place in my heart and even back then I could tell that was going to be one of if not the best season of the series. I binge watched that Season so many times. It was my favorite season of any show for a long time and still is my favorite Smallville Season and while they waste a potentially great character in Adam played by Ian Somerhalder, there's really nothing to gripe about this season. It's so focused and has the same dark tone throughout and I love that. I agree this is Lex and Lionels season and Clark and Johnathons in a way as well. It's really a season with two different relationships with Lana wedged in the middle, Chloe gets an extended role here and she feels hurt and betrayed by Clark so she starts working with Lionel, Pete really doesn't have a lot to do here and they finally write him knowing there's not much more they could do. That mid-season finale is great two with three of Clarks biggest and baddest freak of the week villains coming back and teaming up and seeing Lex actually try to help him. Damn I was rooting for Lex this season hard. That finale is still the best episode and finale of the series in my opinion. It felt like award winning television. It was that good. The two part opener was also great and so was all the stuff with Jesse Metcalf. Honestly I could rave about this season and go on and on and on. Even the flashback episode with Clark's father Jor El and Lanas great aunt or grandmother whatever she was. I love that episode too. There's just so much to love about that season and the nostalgia will never die.
Season 5 is my number 2 though when I first watched it, I was blown away and thought it was number one but after rewatches Season 3 took the number one spot again. Braniac really should've been a regular. James Marsters who I'm a huge fan of playing Spike in Buffy, when I found out he was gonna playing Braniac, I lost my shit and knew it was gonna be good and his performance would rival Rosenbaums as the best villain of the series. It did because Braniac is still number 2 for me all time. I'm not crazy about the finale and again with the Clark and Lana drama that keeps it from the number one spot where Season 3 the Clark and Lana drama was effective and essential to that season and the overall storyline but Season 5 it felt played out and tiresome at that point and I wanted him to just move on to Lois which they weren't there yet but a friendship did start developing in Season 5 but very early stages. Season 5 really did feel like four seasons of buildup and a lot of storylines finally coming to fruition. Chloe just gets better from here on out. Johnathons death was really sad and vital to Clarks growth. Also Lexmas is another top 10 episode for me. It's another episode and really the last remaining hope for Lex and to see him make the wrong choice is so sad and heartbreaking to watch. To see Lionel so cruelly turn his own son away when he's desperately asking for help is just crushing. At that point Lex really did love Lana and did want to change but when he saw her die and he couldn't do anything to save her, there was no going back and nothing left for him to look forward to. Overall great season and the last truly great season in my opinion. Not to say the later seasons aren't good they are but none ever reached the heights of Season 5 following after.
Season 9 and 10 I have watched the least so I definitely need to rewatch those two again to truly see where I would rank them. I used to rank Season 9 at the bottom upon initial watch but I think I need to really sit down and rewatch it and same with Season 10.
Season 7 I think the second half is among the best of the series. They really started to get into a groove there and try to finish strong with the writers strike and while it wasn't perfect I do think they tied up things as well as they could considering. Kara was wasted though.
Season 6 I actually find to be the darkest season of the series even Season 3. It starts off really strong. Those first few episodes aren't bad and that middle first half is really good. It's the second half that falls apart with the Clark/ Lex/Lana love triangle. This season had so much potential but overall the focus wasn't where it needed to be and it's a very uneven season overall. I barely remember the finale as well.
Season 4 has three top 10 episodes. Freaking nuts but it's the weirdest season by far and just all over the place. Jensen Ackles is wasted and I don't blame him for leaving and doing Supernatural cause he wasn't gonna get much development passed Season 4. I don't mind the Witch episode when Lana, Lois and Chloe get possessed. As a standalone episode it's a fun one and one that's great during Halloween but when that Witch storyline returns in Tokyo and then being linked to the Teagues is when it gets silly and you gotta ask yourself why, where are they going with this. I love that season opener and that finale. But even with those strong episodes and Onyx and hearing Clark say crowns mine bitch during that funny prom episode and the football storyline and bringing back Clarks old love and Chloe finding out Clarks secret it's still just a weird unfocused season that doesn't connect at all.
Season 2 has a good story throughout and there's not really many filler episodes either which is great for a sophomore season to a new hit show. The finale was also great, the JTT episode is one of my personal favorite freak of the weak villains and of course the Christopher Reeves episode, the episode where Lex has to take on a bunch of robbers, the Paul Wesley episode where Lex step or half brother returns, i wish they brought him back for more episodes, the ancient tale of good vs evil and Lex and Lionel trying to uncover what's in the caves, Heat, Ryans last episode, there are a lot of great episodes here.
Season 1 I think laid a great foundation and there are some great moments and episodes here. This is by far my favorite Lana season when she was likeable. Couldn't stand Whitney at all and loved the introduction of Lionel and Chloe.
I can't do an accurate ranking until I rewatch Seasons 9 and 10 but Season 3 and Season 5 are definitely top two hands down. Season 2 is in third for now but that could definitely change if 9 or 10 end up aging better for me upon rewatch.
I don’t care what people think is the best season, all I know is season 4 is probably the worst piece of television I’ve ever seen. The whole Hocus Pocus witch plot was terrible and it almost turned me off from the entire show. Good thing pretty much every plot line from this season was abandoned and only rarely mentioned.
Season 4 was sooo bad
s4 is my fav and one of the best of the series
Was like 3 episodes based on it
Season 3 is my favorite hands down I loved Clark’s dark side and obsession and where Lana’s pool drama so good
Firstly, great list, great video. I grew up with Smallville and loved it. I’d put season four higher due to personal bias, TMI, I hit puberty in season four and had the biggest crush on Erica as Lois (my first sex dream). But also it, as you said set up great chemistry for future seasons. I echo your statement that Erica is the best adoption of Lois Lane. And also season five is amazing, my favorite too, for all the things you mentioned, it does hurt that Jonathan had to die (best TV dad ever) but it wasn’t for shock value, it was necessary to advance the plot and for Clark to become his own man. Plus season five had the Stars and Stripes routine, which again goes with my Lois bias. Ps I don’t mind Lana in the show but once Lois showed up she felt more of a road block than a character (due to everyone knowing the future through comics/movies) , more so later in the seasons. Nothing against the actress I thought she was she was great, but fuck when she rocked up in season 8 (I think) when Lois and Clark were making progress I almost stopped. Let’s just say I’m glad that super suits can absorb Superman repellent
It's cathartic hearing him complain about the Lana drama.
lol, I’m glad you found it cathartic :)
Plus season 4 has the return of Sarah Carter/Alicia Baker and her little arc and she literally the best
@@Texasdex84 Her character is so emotional! Yeah, that was good.
First of all great ranking! Loved the video. My personal ranking is
1. Season 9
2. Season 5
3. Season 2
4. Season 3
5. Season 10 (Homecoming will forever be my favorite episode tho)
6. Season 8
7. Season 1
8. Season 7
9. Season 6
10. Season 4 ( Lois , Lionel and Lex saved the season tbh)
That's a great ranking yourself! I do like season 9, lots of epic moments.
@@ChrisDurban The Absolute Justice two hour episode is nothing but EPIC.
@@rebecaruiz6808 I totally agree! Such an amazing episode!
Season 6 complete. Very good, at first it wasnt my jam but after EP11 I started to like it more.
My ranking and explanation. As I give this ranking I believe all the seasons are pretty fantastic. The show itself was great and I was a huge fan of it.
10. Season 7
Season 7 was a bit all over the place. Some pretty good story arcs and episodes, but it was lacking on flow. I will say that the season finale was pretty great. How Lex found out about Clark on his own, and the encounter with Clark in the fortress of solitude was an epic scene. If this was a ranking on season finales then season 7 finale would be in the top half of my ranking.
9. Season 1
This is where it all began, and I love the introduction to the characters, and their development, and the innocence of this season. Other than that it's just the "villain of the week" type episodes and not a major story arc. The story arc would be the characters and how they fit in. The series premiere was a great kickoff to the show, and did well enough for me to be hooked right from the beginning.
8. Season 4
This was another season that had a pretty amazing season finale, and would be top half similarly to season 7. Unfortunately for this season, it was the season finale that prevented this ranking from going lower. The witch story arc was a bit weird. I wasn't a fan of the football angle with Clark. It was like the writers were trying to hold on to the high school theme that was prevalent in season 1 one last time. At least it felt that way for the first 10 episodes. I did like how Lana's character was developed outside of the witch story arc. I felt her relationship with Jason really helped develop her to be who she eventually became. This season Lana was grown up. That trip to Paris really matured her as she returned. Lois was great as she was introduced into the season. I wish this season could be ranked higher, but it's just a lot of episodes that really went nowhere to contribute to the season.
7. Season 2
This was a lot like season 1, but with a major story arc. I love that some major landmarks were highlighted in the season such as the Talon really coming into its own as a premier location for the show. The kowachi caves being a big one too. Clark beginning to learn who he is becomes a big moment in the show. As annoying as the Clark-Lana relationship was throughout the show, season 2 was their best chemistry moment, and I felt it was very authentic and natural on how it develops before it fell apart and got annoying quickly.
6. Season 5
Season 5 started with a bang and probably one of the best first half story arcs versus all first halves of the other seasons. Unfortunately after Jonathan died, the second half was less than promising. It could have been much higher on this list but stalled. I will say Reckoning was probably one of the greatest middle of the season type episodes of all episodes that reside in the middle of their own respective seasons. Reckoning could have been a season finale that's how good it was. I also loved how this was a transition season, moving away from meteor freaks to more galactic villains that we're used to seeing with Superman/Clark.
5. Season 8
The one thing I do love about season 8 is it gave Clark the opportunity to move on from his old life. I compare it to Lana in season 4. Lana really grew up in season 4. Clark really grew up in season 8. I also love how season 8 began the process of becoming 90% Metropolis, 10% Smallville. Seasons 1-4 was 90% Smallville, 10% Metropolis. Seasons 5-7 was 60% Smallville, 40% Metropolis. Season 8 was what a lot of fans were waiting for especially with Clark going into the daily planet. A lot of great episodes in this season. A big surprise and shocker in the end with the death of a main character. I also love the development of Clark and Lois that began in this season, and it didn't feel rushed, it felt natural, authentic, and flowed well. Really the only negative in this season was a pretty lame season finale. Not much of an epic ending between Doomsday and Superman. Even the brief Lana encounter at least brought closure to that whole Clark-Lana thing.
4. Season 10
Great way to end the series. Season 10 was pretty great in all levels. Good villain story, everything was put in place with an amazing series finale. I agree with the person in the video that Clark telling Lois on his own accord was one of the season's best moments. That is something that he hasn't really done with any of his friends before who all also knew his secret before he told them.
3. Season 3
I agree with the person on the video who said Lex and Lionel owned this season. It was pretty epic between those two, and really contributed to what Lex eventually becomes. I also loved how this season really showed the vulnerability of Clark in ways that we haven't seen before, and how he was trying to pick himself back up and move on from his transgressions. We can all relate to that. I thought Crisis was one of the best episodes of this season. It's up there with Reckoning (season 5) as one of the best middle of the season type episodes from other respective seasons. Just a lot of great character development and every character had to go through their own personal crucible. Not much negative to say about this season, and was the best of the high school seasons of Smallville.
2. Season 6
Season 6 is a lot like season 5 but the opposite. Season 6 had a lackluster first half, but it's second half was great. So great that it's number two overall for me. Justice League was awesome. I grew to love Oliver Queen's character which was introduced in this season. Solid season finale. I loved the episode Crimson when red-krypto Clark went all gangsta and burned everyone at Lex-Lana engagement party. One of Tom's best acting moments. Lana getting her first bread crumb to Clark's secret was a fun trail to follow. l so loved how it was this season, in particular the second half of this season, where Clark and Lex's relationship goes south and cements them hating each other from this time forth. This was also the season that Lex turns completely to the dark side and become the villain he would become.
1. Season 9
For me, it's the best season in Smallville. This was the season when Clark was officially ready to become Superman. Clark and Lois had amazing chemistry in this season. I love the enhanced effects which I believe was the best of all the seasons. This season really delved into the comics more than the other seasons. I also thought Zod was a pretty fantastic villain. I think he's tied for second with brainiac on how good he was as a villain in the entire series. Blue did a great job with his portrayal. I believe the season finale in season 9 was the best of all the season finales of Smallville. Watchtower was a very cool development. I love the absolute Justice League story arc. I also loved Oliver Queen's development in this season. Season 9 was to the second half of the whole series what season 3 was to the first half of the series. Very dark where crucibles had to be overcome by all characters. The difference is this season had more of an epic ending than season 3 in my opinion. With the exception of maybe a couple lame episodes (which all seasons have, some more than others), there is nothing negative I could really say about this season.
I know not everybody's going to agree with my order, and there's not an order that's really bad because all the seasons were great.
Also in season 5 I love the episode when Tom wopat and the general lee show up. It's almost the very first crossover.
Great 👍 Ranking Smallville from what I’ve watched was insane
For me every season of Smallville was good but some are better than others. The show was excellent. 👍🏻
I loved all 10 seasons I would rank them all at number 10
What are you talking about? Season 4 was one of the best seasons of smallville. Nothing sucked about that season. One thing about season four, you find out that Lona's ancestor never got her revenge. Because Jason's dad is still alive. And you find that out in season 7. Her ancestors swore to kill all the Teagues.
Durban my dude great list...Let me start off by saying as before, I don't think there is any bad season of Smallville so it was very very hard to do this..but here we go.
#1. Season 10 will always take my top spot. Lois and Clark together. The 200th episode is my #2 episode of the entire series. The return of dark Lionel. Johnathan Kent returns not just as "a" holy spirit but the episode Kent is a performance no one talks about. In the mirror world he is jaded and hopeless just taking out all his frustrations on Clark. Clark being the hope and light this season was able to give him a sense of hope and called him son just as he was pulled back into his own world. The return of Lex Luthor both the season premiere of a imperfect clone to the finale as the real deal. Oliver outing himself as Green Arrow and giving that epic speech in his interview. The return of Zod in Dominion...a smaller scale wrath of Khan and Zod thirst for vengeance was his undoing and leaves him stranded there. As Snoke once said " darkness rises and the light to meet it" Clark is that light against Darksied and light will always win. A Destiny fullfilled! I love everything about the finale personally. A that John Williams score to end the show was icing on a ten year cooked cake!
#2. Season 9- Epic in size and scale. Matrix fans rejoice, another savior figure in black. Callum Blue did a great job at Zod. I liked his intensity and got more intense as the season progresses. Absolute Justice, Id say, deserves its own video. From the ground up they built this world. Detail by detail, set design was incredible. Introduced more heros and checkmate and was the first episode to drop that "apocalypse" is coming.
That season finale was fan-freaking- tastic and with a final fight that is one if the best of the series.
Now from here on out its hard lol
#3. Season 5- For shows that start in highschool usually the first one out starts a decline. Not for this awesome show. Always striding forward in momentum. Buffy fans rejoice James Marters as Brainiac was a great physical and mental villian. The 100th episode was a heartbreaking work of art, but it great that it had ramifications all the way through to season 10. The first coming of Zod and Lex being possessed and even more evil was a treat. As a Dukes of Hazard fan I did love the return on Tom Wompat...just them good ol boys driving around.
#4 Season 2- Housing my favorite episode Rosetta and "my" Superman Christopher Reeve, elevates this season of a show hitting a stride in only its second season out. The character of Ryan was a heartbreaking loss. The caves introduced. The episode Lineage is basically the Pilot part 2 and fleshes out the rivalry between the Kents and the Luthor s which becomes a generational battle in the future with Lex vs Superman. Pete finding out the truth of his best friend and the beginning burden of having to hold that secret. Finale Exodus and the introduction of Jor El and the start of the back and forth of a different father all the way to the shows Finale.
#5 Season 6- Super hero overload in the best sense of the word!. Green Arrow introduced ✔. Returning of Aquaman Impulse and Cyborg ✔.
The Martian Man hunter ✔. Slow motion bad ass hero walk with explosions behind you ✔. Bizzaro as a nemesis awesome.
#6 Season 3- An ambitious 2 part season opener..the revelation that Clark's parents were chosen is pretty awesome. Memoria is is Top 5 episode of the series for sure.
#7 Season 8- Losing Lex Lionel and for the most part Lana and its shows creators the new showrunners transitioned perfectly. Daily Planet Clark and the red blue blur. The Jekyll and Hyde Doomsday was smart. Tess Mercer( future Luthor) comes to power. The Legion introduced. The tragic death of Jimmy. Oliver Queen as a main stay and getting his island backstory. Strong season.
# 8. Season 1 the one that started it all. Opening with one of my favorite pilot episodes of any show on television. Season finale Vortex with 3 twisters into one and Clark jumping into it gave us the first of many cliffhanger summer anxiety attacks. Emerging powers.. meteor freaks and the Hourglass giving us glimpse into the future.
#9. Season 7 Bring on Supergirl. After years of being mentored..he gets to do the mentoring. The Veritas Quest. The Traveller. The return of Brainiac.
Descent into darkness.
#10 Season 4- Now just because its last does in no way make it bad to me. The Fortress Quest. The introduction of Lois Lane. Season opener Crusade that we see Clark/ Kal El fly. Personal nostalgia for the senior year of High School. Finishing with a Top 5 season finale in Commencement.
This truly was hard but really after my top 2 spots the rest are all tied in 3rd place! If you made it this far thanks for reading my thoughts and God Bless!
Hell of a nice comment!
Thanks yo!
@@aaronwhite3298 youre welcome yo! Ha ha
I agree, no bad season so this was tough to rank! That's a great ranking! I need to mention I love in season 10 Clark finding Jonathan on Earth 2. To see Clark be the light to Jonathan, the very light Jonathan was to him in our world, was so touching. Great performances all around. Really, such a great show!
Season 8 was one of my favorites to watch because of Jimmy Olson.I wish they didn’t kill him off for the finale
I have become convinced that Lex from the beginning was already fully a villain not worse than his father but still a villain. First watch through I was team Lex all the way and was like he's a hero who fell. And I was saying Clark had failed Lex. Then I said what if what Lex was saying the whole time "Clark I've done things that if you knew them we wouldn't be friends" we're true. Then I rewatched the whole series and decided to try to take everything Lex said and did and give him the worst motivation for saying and doing them. And this showed me he is a full grown man from the beginning. And his story line is not so much a character development as it is a character reveal.
Regarding the episode order, I agree with Durban with one big exception: Ep 4. I would move Ep 4 into the #2 spot -- that's how much I love the Search For The Stones! I especially love the way poor Lex keeps getting stones IN HIS HANDS, only to lose them every time. The stones also represent the transition from Clark the Smallville hometown boy to Clark in the bigger world, with bigger stakes and with the Fortress.
Great video! I love every season of Smallville, but season 5 is actually my least favorite! I felt like the show went too dark for my taste (like it was attempting to copy Supernatural's vibe, since they aired alongside each other). I always rank seasons 5-6 the lowest, but it is as you said: every season has some epic moments and individual episodes.
Every Smallville season. My joint personal favourites are seasons four and six and my least favourite was season eight, but tbh I liked every season of this great show as it was so consistent and awesome and Clark Kent's journey in Smallville was nothing short of spectacular to watch imo after seeing every he went through before he took to the skies, though I agree some episodes and seasons were better than others but overall I loved every second of this brilliant show thanks to its awesome cast and crew who did a fantastic job and why it lasted for ten seasons, will we ever see anything like this again? Who knows but I'm happy that this show exists and I love it for what it is and what it did and I wouldn't change anything about it. For me Smallville started off good with season one, two and three, got better with season four, five, six and seven, went down a little bit with season eight then picked up again a little bit with seasons nine and ten, but in all honesty, every season was good imo. 🔴🔵👍🏻
#Smallville
My personal rank from Worst to Best : 4, 8, 9, 10, 7, 6, 3, 5, 1, 2. This show is a masterpiece by the way, for those who haven't seen it yet. In cinema we have The lord of the rings or Star Wars, well in TV serie there is Smallville (just avoid Season 4).
Cant wait!
I like this list but what is difficult for me is that 3 of my Top 10 episodes from the entire series are in Season 4. Crusade, Onyx and Commencement. In Crusade we get Flight, Lois Lane and Margot Kidder! What an episode! I also love the Season 7 arc going from Traveler to the finale. I think that group of episodes are just incredible. My worst season is 9. I like the Checkmate episodes and Absolute Justice but everything else in the season just simply didn’t work for me.
I agree with the top 3 seasons, but I would rank seasons 1 and 10 much lower. Season 10 was kind of boring and it suffered from most of the cast moving on.
