I have been a fan of this amazing show ever since it premiered in October of 2001, and to date, it continues to evolve and flourish into one of the best stories ever told: The life of Clark Kent & his journey to become Superman!
In this season, we see many twists and turns that are quite epic. We are introduced to DOOMSDAY: the only known villain in DC comics that has killed Superman. Things get very intriguing with the introduction of Doomsday in the form of Davis Bloom, Doomsday's human alter ego.
Furthermore, we are also introduced to many more DC villains/heroes, such as Zatanna, the magician, as well as the Legion of Super Heroes, Faora (Zod's wife), Plastique, Livewire, Parasite, Maxima, Bruno Manheim, Toyman, and of course: DOOMSDAY.
Chloe gets a front burner storyline as well as she becomes involved with the Doomsday arc and protecting Clark against him. Tragedy comes for everyone in the spectacular season finale: DOOMSDAY in which the lives of every character is thrown into turmoil and chaos.
Probably the most best arc of this season is the Red-Blue-Blur arc involving Lois and Clark. Lois and Clark's romance begins and it becomes evident in "Bride" as they almost share a lip-lock. Erica Durance and Tom Welling's sizzling chemistry has made everyone fall in LOVE with Clois, aka, Clark and Lois. Hats off to the pair of them.
This amazing DVD set includes all 22 episodes of Season 8 with two commentaries on two episodes as well as some other excellent features, such as the origins of Doomsday and deleted scenes.
Some of the best episodes out of this season to look into are:
Doomsday: In the biggest cliffhanger ever, Clark and Doomsday face off in a major fight with 2 major deaths of beloved characters.
Bloodline: Lois becomes possessed by Zod's wife and goes on a rampage.
Infamous: Clark reveals his secret to the world & becomes a celebrity! Nuff' said.
Hex: Zatanna the magician casts Chloe's wish and switches bodies with cousin Lois!
Eternal: We are treated to Davis' background and how he arrived on Earth as Doomsday.
Stiletto: Lois Lane becomes a super heroine in Metropolis!
Injustice: Tess' assembled army of meteor freaks goes up against Doomsday.
Bride: Chloe and Jimmy's wedding gets destroyed by Doomsday kidnapping her.
Identity: Clark is introduced to an identity for himself.
Committed: Lois and Clark are held hostage where they admit their true feelings of love for one another!
Get some popcorn ready and immerse yourself with those spectacular episodes that will amaze you!
Smallville has been renewed for Season 9, with a possible 10th season since rumour has it that Tom Welling signed a two year contract when he signed on for S9. Smallville continues to entertain us and it shows us why is still is the number one show out there!
