News Smallville complete series finally coming to blu-ray
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
So a few days ago I bought my second set and while I got the digital code this time I got two disks #23. Instead of returning it I ordered another set so I could make a hybrid set if the next one has more duplicate disks. It came yesterday and thankfully it was a complete set. The only flaw was a disk holder in season 1 was broken. So I switched cases. Now I can return the flawed set to Amazon.
It was a pain in the butt but I finally got it. I’m not sure why there was such a problem with this release. WB has still said nothing about this. Some people are not going to be happy when they open their present and find they have duplicate disks. Hopefully they fall within the return window.

There are folks out there who still seem to think WB will do some kind of disc exchange program, but I think it's clear at this point that as far as they're concerned, affected buyers can go pound sand. Which is pretty shitty of them.
If the last decade is any indication, Warner Brothers generally a pretty shitty company all around, no matter who owns them.
BTW, I watched "Hourglass" tonight. Some great stuff in there.
The vision of Clark's future, where he's seemingly immortal and has outlived everyone he ever loved, is pretty stark, and may well have informed his choice (as revealed in the Arrowverse's "Crisis on Infinite Earths") to give up his powers and live a normal, mortal life with Lois and their daughters.
And the vision of Lex's future is still a jaw-dropper, especially with that stinger of its horror killing Cassandra (a detail I had somehow forgotten, so I got to experience its impact all over again).

Casandra being the prophet who warned of the fall of Troy and was ignored and in the aftermath cursed a gift for Eurypylus, driving him mad.
You crafty bastard.
They messed up the Wonder Woman complete series set as well. There were some problems with some of the disks missing credits and some other things with the picture. They fixed them but told no one. Some sets have the corrected disks but it’s pretty much a crap shoot if you get them or not.
I just watched that one as well. The Lex one is interesting since we know that isn’t technically Lex but a clone. The glove choice was interesting. I wonder if that always to plan to have one of his hands damaged.
Clark giving up his powers is always a temporary thing. He always comes back
What now?
That was a nod to the time Lex lost a hand to kryptonite poisoning from constantly wearing a kryptonite ring.
Just popping in to say my rewatch continues, and I'm having a blast so far. The show is obviously not of the same objective quality as something like Superman & Lois, but damned if it isn't entertaining as hell regardless. I look forward to it every night. And man, Rosenbaum's Lex is every bit as fascinating as I remembered.
To me, Superman and Lois is basically Smallville: The Next Generation
It’s funny, we have Smallville that showcases Clark at the start, Lois and Clark which showcases him becoming Superman, and now Superman and Lois.
Superman Beyond must be the next show
Watched the first season finale, "Tempest," tonight. God, how great was that? Talk about going all out with the cliffhangers -- the showrunners were taking absolutely no chances on any viewers drifting away over the summer. Lana and the tornado(es), in particular, was edge-of-your-seat stuff, with surprisingly good SFX; most of the current Arrowverse shows wouldn't have pulled that scene off half as effectively, despite 20 years of technical advances. I feel like Smallville had a pretty generous budget at this point in its run, and it shows.
I remember watching that when it first aired and turning to my friends, saying "Man, Buffy should have finales like that!!"
Wouldn't have made that comment every season, but it was true enough some years. Just hearing the announcer say "And now, the season finale of Smallville" had me on the edge of my seat. Only thing I can think of that consistently gave me the same chills was the "Carry on wayward son" recap on Supernatural.
Once you got into the 3rd or 4th season you started to notice a pattern
Season finale has everyone in danger
Season premiere cleans up some left over plot lines before heading into the next seasons storyline
Mid season cliffhanger
Rinse and repeat. I will say the season 4/5 finale cliffhangers/season premiere peaked with the fortress of solitude

So tonight was "Lineage." What a remarkable episode. After a couple of lackluster outings ("Nocturne" and "Redux"), this one is amazing: so emotional, so character-driven, and so filled with painful secrets. And that moment when kid Kal touches boy Lex's face in the cab of the truck after the meteor shower -- *chef's kiss*.
Was that the season when everyone's contracts were up and they didn't know who was or wasn't coming back, so they put everyone in mortal danger, to give them an easy out if they didn't come back?
I remember reading that in an interview with one of the writers or producers after one of the season finales.
That's pretty much the standard set up for most dramas for the last couple decades.
