Smallville Review

For those who have never seen Smallville, it's a series about the life of Clark Kent before he became known as Superman.  It's a cleverly written show, which tries to follow the comic book facts, but fills in the gaps of Clark's early years...in particular high school and college.  The show can be viewed on the CW network and is filmed in Canada.  The first episode begins with Clark's arrival on Earth from Krypton.  As a toddler he is adopted by the Kent family.  With time, they become aware of Clark's special powers and the need for them to be fine-tuned.  Clark's own struggle with being Krytonian and wanting to be like everyone else can be comical. 

I didn't start watching this series until Season 5.  I had to rent the DVDs from Netflix to catch up on the previous seasons.  Currently the show is on Season 7, with great special effects and interesting new characters (ie. Clark's cousin from Krypton, Kara).  There will probably only be one more season before the series ends.  :(
