I would call these appetizers, like the appetite-whetting, sweat-breaking taste of a sample platter of spicy-sweet Mexican appetizers. The Smallville spoilers for the first 6 episode make your mouth water for more.

“Plastique” does indeed involve Bette Sans Souci, the character from the DC Comics universe. In this version she is a “15 year old street kid” who is injured in an explosion, and Chloe asks her to move in. (Thanks to S.A.M. for that tip!)

- Contrary to some reports that Chloe will be serving time for a while… in actuality, Chloe will no longer be incarcerated by the time this episode happens.
- Justin Hartley (Oliver) and Aaron Ashmore (Jimmy) do not appear in this episode.

This episode will explore Clark’s first day on his new job and his teaming with Lois.
- The character of paramedic Davis Bloom makes his first appearance in this episode, and he interacts primarily with Chloe.

The season’s opening storyline that featured the return of Kara’s father, Zor-El, and Clark’s mother, Lara Lor-Van, set the tone for the rest of the season. This had the potential to be one of the best Smallville storylines in a long time. Unfortunately, this story came to an abrupt and sudden end in “Blue” that featured a rushed, uneven conclusion to what had been a well-developed narrative up until then. This trend continued throughout the season.

It’s incredibly frustrating to invest time in a show, only to watch the writers jump from one idea to the next without any forethought or planning as to how they are going to pace and organize their story. Some may blame the writers’ strike, but the problems were just as prevalent before the strike as they were afterwards. If there is one episode that exemplified what this show should aspire to, it was “Descent,” a fantastically told story that began with a major twist (if you avoided the spoilers) and brought the relationship between Clark and Lex to its pique.

Video and Presentation

Like most television transfers, the image is decent but nothing to get too excited about. The vibrant colors of the show makes up for that, and the transfer is generally free of grain or ghosting and the colors work brilliantly from action sequences to character scenes. An above-average DVD.

Score: 7 out of 10

Languages and Audio

Whether it’s the WB-style soundtrack or the action-style explosions, the 5.1 surround here works above and beyond most TV DVD’s. Dynamic use of back-channels, sustainable dialogue and a rocking musical mix, Smallville won’t push your system to the limit, but it will certainly push it farther than most similar discs might. High marks for solid surround!

Score: 8 out of 10

Extras and Packaging

The extras are pretty standard here.

• Cast/Creator Commentaries on 2 Key Episodes
  
• Unaired Scenes
  
• Featurette: Supergirl: The Last Daughter of Krypton
  
• Featurette: Jimmy on Jimmy
  
• Featurette: Smallville Legends: Kara and the Chronicles of Krypton
  
• Featurette: Smallville: Visions Digital comic book
  

And as though the creators are tired of Clark, as well, this season’s features center much more around other characters (namely Kara). Understandably, the well of Superman-specific extras ran dry a few seasons ago, but these other character extras feel like propaganda. Last season it was the Green Arrow, this year it’s Supergirl - and it feels as though these extras are pushed on us in an attempt to launch another franchise.

Longtime fans will get a kick out of the “Jimmy on Jimmy” featurette – it brings together past and present Jimmys; i.e.: Jack Larson, Marc McClure, Aaron Ashmore and Sam Huntington. That right there is superhero history, folks - definitely check it out if you get your hands on this set.

Overall, this touted two hours of extras is pretty slim and insubstantial, failing to explain or reinvigorate a show which is clearly in search of a new and fresh direction.
