Who would have predicted that the departure of series creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough would have given Smallville a surge of super-strength in its eighth season? Give a good part of the credit to saying out with the old--series veterans Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) and Kristin Kreuk (Lana), whose dreary romantic coupling dragged down previous seasons--and in with the new. The new include entirely fresh faces Cassidy Freeman as LutherCorp heir apparent Tess Mercer and Sam Witwer as paramedic Davis Bloome, and experienced players getting increased face time, such as Justin Hartley's Green Arrow joining the opening credits and Erica Durance receiving much more exposure than in season 7. In particular, with Lana having said goodbye, Lois (Durance) and Clark (Tom Welling) are given ample time to start building the relationship we know is inevitable, and their clumsy fumblings are the highlight of the season (their fake engagement is particularly funny). Chloe (Allison Mack) and Jimmy (Aaron Ashmore) grow closer, but the brooding danger of Davis reveals something much worse than a mere lovers' triangle. Clark starts to embrace his destiny by protecting Metropolis at invisible super-speed, earning him the groan-worthy nickname of "The Red-Blue Blur," and comic-book characters making their series debuts are the geek-favorite group the Legion of Super-Heroes (Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad) and Dr. Emil Hamilton (Alessandro Juliani of Battlestar Galactica). The season sags when Durance is absent for stretches, and the season finale isn't nearly what it could have been, but it was still more than enough to rescue the series from what seemed to be the brink of cancellation and head strong into its ninth season. --David Horiuchi

Excellent season February 7, 2010
Chung Y. Hsu
This season and series is addicting and exciting. If you have watched this series but missed some of the episodes from this season, you must get this DVD.
Super extras! February 2, 2010
D. Tong
This season's introduction of Doomsday, and development of Jimmy and Tess's characters were spectacular. I especially enjoyed the extras on Doomsday and Allison Mack's directoral debut. It shows how the team from the producers to the cast to the crew are still inspired in coming up with compelling stories. Still a treat to watch!
Super Season 8 February 1, 2010
Gil Wright (Decatur, AL USA)
I have all the Smallvile Seasons on DVD and this is one of my favorite seasons. It tells more of the story in a somewhat Darker light to get a more mature Superman to emerge as the hero we all love. If you love the other seasons you will love this season as well.
There's nothing small about it !! February 1, 2010
John Komatsoulis (Pennsylvania, USA)
Having followed Smallville since season 1, this continues to tell a great story about Superman's life. This was not the best season by far, however it did introduce a lot of exciting new characters. Without spoiling anything, I would recommend this season to all Superman lovers and comic geeks like me.
