Smallville DVD/Blu-ray Discussion (All Seasons)

[James wright]

since this is the last season of smallville are there any rumors of a movie made for tv with the smallville cast?

[WellingFan]

I got my Season 9 DVD a week ago, but it wouldn't work on my dvd player. I have Season 5 onwards on region 1 and they work fine but you need a multi-regional dvd player to play season 9 in the UK. I can still play it on my laptop for now and have ordered a multi regional player. Best season ever!

[Billy Jor-El]

I haven't a clue, but I would think no. The actors probably want to move on. Allison is already venturing out big time (and I want to see her do more directing). Tom was always adamant about not wanting to wear the costume (no spoilers please about what will/might happen in S10!), so I don't know where a movie would go. Sure, I'd love to see it; man, I'd love to see the next Superman film be the entire SV cast (with MR as Lex, of course), but probably not enough gold pressed latinum in this quadrant to make that happen!

[Liquid-Prince]

So I was watching the episodes and kept noticing some sharper looking effects and some different framing that was done in order to help mask some bad effects. Specifically the one that I'm remembering now was a scene from Pandora.

Right when the towers fail and the sun turns yellow again we see a shot of Zod looking scared a bit towards camera, which then leads to him turning around and see Clark in the background. In the original broadcast version and in the Itunes version Clark's feet were very awkwardly shaped, and it was obvious that he was in front of a green screen. They zoomed the frame in a bit so that you can no longer see his feet and they changed some of the green screen work.

Just thought it was interesting, and will post more as I notice them.

Great Star Trek Deep Space Nine reference!
I haven't heard Welling say anything negative about wearing the Superman costume though. In fact, I'm pretty sure I heard him say/read something from a trusted source that he's willing to do a feature as Superman, but a lot of things woud have to fall in place, and it's pretty iffy they all can. But I'm hoping he'll wear it in the last episode. In fact, I'd love that last episode, last scene, to have him respond to a crisis by discarding his fake glasses, and pulling open his shirt while running towards the camera revealing the classic Superman shirt (a good one, not the crappy thing from 'Superman Returns').

[Clark/Lois-fan]

I've finally pre-ordered S9 on blu ray. Can't wait it to get my sweet hands on that lovely season :D

Total in 3 weeks: 262,710

comparably from a year ago it actually sold more units in it's third week(31,902) but down ~32K units overall(295,358)

I recently bought season 9 on Blu-Ray and it does not work. I then returned and bought it anew. And it did not work again.
What is the problem?
All my other Blu-Rays work fine . . .

go to the site of your blu ray player or call the help hotline that should be on the blu ray player box or instruction booklet and have them send you an update disc. the blu ray player site might also allow you to create an update disc or if your blu ray player is connected to the internet you may be able to update it directly.

That's cool! I remember the green screen issue bugging me in Pandora and it's good to hear they polished it up a bit.

[Dr. Curt Connors]

I love smallville

Uh...I do too. :p But i'm not sure if that belong in the DVD discussion.

[KalEltheBoyscout]

For those who bought Season 9, how's the DVD compared to the other 8? In terms of sound/picture quality, bonus features, and just overall satisfaction?

S9 DVD review – SFX Magazine<O:p</O:p
Rated 3 stars Extras 3 stars <O:p</O:p



no flights, no tights, has been the rule on Smallville since Clark’s debut in 2001, but with season nine the show takes a sky-scraping leap towards the big blue boy scout of legend in the most heavy DC season to date. Smart move, since for the first ime in half a decade Smallville no longers feels like a show in need of a Kryptonite siv to the gut
<O:p</O:p
Metallo, The Wonder Twins, Dark Archer, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Icicle and the Silver Banshee are just some of the comic stalwarts to pass through Metropolis this year, but it’s Calum Blue’s Major Zod and his comradeswho take centre stage. Blue does his best Terence Stamp, but can’t muster a scrap of small screen presence as the cockney conqueror, and the Kandorian arc only comes into it’s own in the finale.
<O:p</O:p
The season gets off to an inauspicios beginning as well, with moody Matrix trenchcoats, ill-judged body horror and even zombies featuring in the early episodes. However, things take flight after a pivotal Geoff Johns scripted, Golden age superhero saga and a fascinating flashback tale which harkens back to Superman:The Movie and plays on established mythology in a similar manner to Smallville’s heyday.
<O:p</O:p
As always there is too much filler, but the show has finally found a comfortable rhythm for it’s current supporting characters (Oliver and Chloe in particular) and continues to demonstrate ambition much greater than it’s production values imply. The past few years have been a grind, but there’s enough promise here to give hope that Smallville’s Season 10 swan aong will be worth the wait.
<O:p</O:p
Extras A decent 30-minute Making on Geoff John’s ‘’Absolute Justice’’, a 15 min-talking head piece on Zod, dull deleted scenes and two commentaries <O:p</O:p

[Superboy2]

I think the season 10 DVD should have a few extra discs in it and or a different set that goes behind the scenes of how they make some of the special effects. I know they showed it a little bit, but it seems that movies go more into it than SV does.

[shy175223]

Hopefully they will, and they'll probably have some extras on the SV complation dvd set.

[Stebob1984]

I've just watched the two documentaries from the season 9 bluy ray on Zod and the Justice Society, they were fantastic, the two best documentaries I have seen on Smallville boxsets.

[KalEltheBoyscout]

Hopefully, the Season 9 DVD will cost less after Thanksgiving :)

[Stebob1984]

Tell you what I was disapointed at no commentary on Absolute Justice, I would have loved another Geoff Johns commentary.

[drahn32]

does any think that they will put out a complete series box set once season 10 ends ? i hope they do, cuz i'll buy it !

[Superboy2]

I'm sure they will, and I have a feeling it will be in some sort of S shield box and or come with something. I'd like a n adult size cape but I doubt that will happen. I think my idea for the extra discs sounds good. Have a look back at behind the scenes from previous years etc.

[Supsfan]

Hopefully, the Season 9 DVD will cost less after Thanksgiving :)

I was hoping they'd do that again. Amazon matched them with the digital copies of the seasons for 9.99 as well and I picked up seasons 1,2,3 and 8 for 9.99. Seasons 4-7 weren't released digitally yet, but it would be awesome if they did the same deal because they are out now. :)

I hope there's a lot of good deals with Black friday.

[ChloeFan09]

YAY! I was able to get Season 9! I was hovering over my computer at 4:25, to make sure I was able to claim it. Smallville fans were quick it looks like all the seasons are almost gone. Guess they don't call them lightning deals for nothing lol. :D
I love amazon at the holidays!

[Titan2011]

I managed to get season 6-9 on amazon! I had purchased the first 5 seasons a couple years back for 13.99 ea. No complaints from me lol. Now to wait a year or so to get season 10 and complete the collection ha.

[Dr. Curt Connors]

OMG, I just claimed a copy of season 9 for $9.99!!! This is a good day, haha.

Indeed, I did as well! Amazon seems to love Smallville sales every year. Oh yes! I heard Best Buy will have all seasons for 9.99 this Friday but it doesn't matter as I now have all seasons on Smallville on DVD, minus Season 10 of course! :D I'm happy.

[KalEltheBoyscout]

I can't believe I missed that great amazon deal! Hopefully, there'll be a copy waiting for me on Friday at Best Buy :)

[superhippie2000]

Yes best buy had them in the store. That is a steal at 9.99 ea. I've seen every episode and have then recorded but not the official DVD until today. I bought all 9 seasons for less than $100.. That is the best. Go to best buy TODAY if you want that price.

I only needed season 9 and got it at Best Buy for only 9.99! Regular price was $49!
My husband, God bless him, stood in the rain in the middle of the night to get it for me. He is such a sweetie!

[A Flawed Fashion]

If (or really when) they do a complete series box set, I would love to see it with a cover much like they have been doing, but use all the characters from the past. They use different ratios all the time for complete series, so I think it would be great to have Clark in the center with the rest of the major cast members around him even if it ended up a little wider than most.

Put Clark front and center. On the left, put Lex, Lana, Pete, Lionel, and the kents. On the right, put Lois, Chloe, Tess, Oliver, Kara, and Jimmy. I don't really need to see Lana's boyfriends or the villains on the cover, so those regulars could be left off (they were only in one season anyway and don't relay have as much positive impact or recognition as Kara). I'd really love to see the entire series from seasons 1 to 10 acknowledged on the cover of the complete set and not just Clark or the usuals like Lex, Lana, and Lois.

Even if this was just a back cover, I would love to see something like that.

[Drewbee87]

Just got season 9 Blu-ray in the mail! BTW, what happened to them putting a outtake real on the special features? I miss them! :(

I hear you! Especially now with all the depressing episodes, some off camera fun would be cool.
I will never forget Allison Mack making the big cheeks and then looking sexy for a second, to get back into character. :)

Has anyone made or compiled 'spines' for the boxes that match? I'm in the Philippines and while all the boxes are identical (thick), the spines and layouts aren't. Seasons 2,3,4,6,7,8 and 9 all have no images on the side (just the smallville logo, season, and disc numbers) but 1 and 5 have what seems to be the US box layout. Just curious if anyone's attempted to make matching spine art.

See here there are 3 different 'looks' (with minor differences in the pictureless spines)

http://www.amazon.com/Smallville-Complete-Season-Tom-Welling/dp/B003L77GG0/ref=pd_ys_home_shvl_1I think their main reason to have season 10 up is to "advertise" the episodes that you can buy via their version of itunes. They have a link right there for that.

I'm jealous, you get that kind of packaging. We don't get individual cases for each 2 discs, we get a book style packaging for earlier seasons, and then a stacked kind of thinner presentation for the later seasons. If you do a search on this thread, you will probably find what ours look like. I now get Blu ray and that is even thinner and we don't even get different art on each of the discs, we get the same pic on each disc - there are fewer of them. (The first Blu ray discs did give up all the pic of the regular discs, they photoshopped 2 pics together for some of the discs. They couldn't be bothered to do that later apparently.)

[Superboy2]

I would do pre-order but I'm hoping there was be something special with the set.

[Maick]

Bit off topic, does anyone know if there are plans for a DVD box 1-10? :-)

[L Nasty388]

is there any secret content like there was in the season 3 and 5 sets? also is there any in the other ones? i dont recall ever hearing so

[weathermanlovestalia]

no i dont believe there is, but i wish there was special features like on 2, and 3...the gag reel and stuff

[dn_angel000]

New 2 the site!! lol My Q is where can I Buy the DVD Cases that both Seasons 8 and 9 come in?? lol Cause I wanna buy 4 of 'em cause getting the DVDs out of seasons 1 - 4 r a pain!! lol

[MissWofflez]

Not got any DVD's but would luv 2 hear some of the commentary's there are from cast memebrs- epesially TW on red and all 3 girls on Spell. Does anyone know where i could find this online?

[kryptonian95]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there will be a complete 1-10 smallville boxset? It would be cool if there was a blu-ray set as well so we can see the early seasons as well in pristine 1080p quality! So, if anyone knows anything about it's production post here! Also post your thoughts on what the boxset art should include/be!

[Overcast 86]

You know, I have all the seasons out on DVD and I will probably get the 10th. But if there was some way to get the entire series on Blur-ray, I would sell my house for it.

Not really, but I would really like that.

The Box Set Art should just be the medium sized red Superman Symbol with the sky as a background; no words or anything. Just the symbol.

Or a picture of the Kent Farm Barn on the front, and the Fortress of Solitude on the back. The words Smallville: The Complete Series at the top.

[clark_superman]

I'll only buy the complete series on blu-ray, since the first 5 seasons haven't been released, so I'll only own 2 seasons already on blu-ray over 7 seasons on dvd.

I also want more extras, to be honest I've never been happy with the smallville dvd extras, WB are always cheap and never offer many extras that the Lost, Fringe dvds give.

[inTWelligent]

BTW, what happened to them putting a outtake real on the special features? I miss them! :(

same here...


Is anyone else having issues with their DVD player not being able to play (or even load) disc 6 from the Season 9 DVD's?? This has happened to me twice now (two different sets) - it's only disc 6. What the heck??

did you mean to write blur-ray? :lol:

ya id assume the complete series would be something like that with a big superman logo on the front and guess a dvd info guid on the side and maybe a bunch of pictures from all the seasons on the back. i already have the individual sets so probably wont go for the whole series but hopefully they dont go cheap and put all the discs in cardboard slip sleeves :\ and will be cool if they had some special stuff in the box like maybe lanas necklace and fortress key and a superman shirt.

ya im hoping the final season will have a 7th disc filled with bonus features. id like them to add bloopers from the entire series and have cast and crew memories documentry. also a villians vs heroes sort of documentry and obviously some featurette on darkseid.

is your dvd player a blu ray? you may need to update your blu ray firmware. as for a regular dvd player i have no clue.

[Superboy2]

There should be alot of bloopers since they haven't had any for the past what, six sets? That and a retrospective of the show for the last ten years. Show some interviews of the cast and how they feel about the end, like TW, ED, MR, JH, CF, etc. Even bring back some old cast and have them put in their two cents.

I'd want more behind the scenes stuff which shows actual on-set filming and interviews, but I doubt it.

I've never been happy with the smallville extras, so little. WB suck making good dvd extras.

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

My older smallville DVDs are starting to skip bad and not even play? Like seasons 1-5? Idk if its cause i watched them to much or the discs get bad over time. Its gettin me mad!

Yeah, mine skips sometimes too and I'm really confused. They only go three places: From the DVD case, to the DVD player, and then back to the DVD case. And I don't put my fingerprints on the bottom of the disc or anything like that. I always get skips during Season 7 and Season 1 the most.:confused:

I have that problem too! My early seasons are the ones that skip sometimes. But I take really good care of them!

Although it's probably just becuase I've watched them so many times. Maybe something happens to them when they're inside the DVD player... IDK :\

I think the eye of the DVD player gets dirty after a while. I hope it's not the discs themselves. But I'm just gonna wait it out till I get some cash to buy them all again.

[The Dark Knight74]

It could be a problem w/ your DVD player and not your DVDs. I used to have problems w/Transference, Exposed and Cyborg. When my old DVD player went and had to buy and new one, I no longer had those problems. Do either of you have access to another DVD player or have a DVD-rom on your computer? If so you might try playing them on another player.

[bennyjr123]

How much do you think a full set on blu-ray would cost?

[superhippie2000]

with dvd players i know the older ones have the lenses that are bigger or something and they pick up any little mark. atleast my first dvd player was like that. it got to the point where all my discs would skip for all my dvds. also i used to have to return dvds multiple times thinking it was the dvds. the dvd player i have now ive had for a few years and it plays discs that not even worked in other dvd players. ive had my blu ray player for almost a year and no problems with that. id say you might if anything need to buy a new dvd player. if you have a blu ray try some of those discs in that player and see if they skip. blu rays are more advanced so it would do a better job reading discs so if they dont work it might be the discs. good thing tho is early seasons you can often get on sale for 10 bucks throughout the year at best buiy or amazon.com.

YEAH i tried to watch transference and Onyx and it wouldnt work!! My Dvd player is also a Dvd recorder but the discs wont load. somtimes they scip but they wont load.

I hope they will relase a giant epic complete series blu ray box set so ill buy them all and keep it nice. But las night it wouldnt even load my season 8 dvd! UHHH!

Thanks for all the comments and help guys i really appriciaite it :)

[VilleFan]

When my DVDs start skipping, I usually stop them and take them out... then put them back in and restart them (and go to the spot where I left off) and they usually start working again.

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

I tried to put in Season 8 Disc 2 and it made noise and said it couldnt read them. Must be somthing wrong with my Dvd, but it will play Season 6 dvds.

[bennyjr123]

I was thinking (because I want to have an EPIC full series marathon this summer) since Smallville isn't coming back in September, and there won't really be a need for marketing, do you think the Season 10 dvd might release earlier? I loved when Season 8 came out in August.

[SparkleforSmallville]

Amazon has S9 on sale for $18.99. Other Seasons are also on sale!

may come out earlier. not sure how early but maybe august or the last week of july.

[clark_superman]

How much do you think a full set on blu-ray would cost?

hmm good question, the Lost complete series blu ray was about $250, but on Amazon it was cheaper.

Since Smallville is 10 seasons, I'd say about $300. But I'll be buying it on Amazon, as they always do special sales and sell it about $100 dollars cheaper.

I've had similar issues at times with my smallville dvds, try cleaning your dvd player with a laser lens cleaner or get a some cleaning gel to clean the disc surface.

I think Smallville may be my first ever complete series on blu-ray to purchase. I only own season 8 onwards on blu ray. So I wont loose out, since I dont own the first 7. I cant wait for earlier seasons in blu ray.

I wonder what the boxset will look like, and be shaped liked.

[clark_superman]

If you were in charge of the dvd covers for smallville and could put whoever you wanted on them? Who would you put on them for all the seasons?

My choices:

Season 1 - Clark
Season 2 - Clark
Season 3 - Clark, Chloe, Lex and Lionel (did anyone feel Lana shouldn't have been on it, Chloe and Lionel had a major story in season 3 than Lana)
Season 4 - Clark and Lois
Season 5 - Clark, Lex and Brainiac
Season 6 - Clark, Oliver, Lex and Lana
Season 7 - Clark, Kara and Lex
Season 8 - Clark, Chloe and Davis
Season 9 - Clark, Lois and Zod
Season 10 - Clark

[Supsfan]

did anyone feel Lana shouldn't have been on it, Chloe and Lionel had a major story in season 3 than Lana

As much as I don't care for Lana, she had a couple side stories of her own that season, while Chloe basically was a small part of a bigger storyline. Screentime wise Lana was close to 10 minutes and episode while Chloe was at 7. The only season I think one can make an argument for Chloe on the cover would be S8

[DC Fanboy]

Season 1: Clark
Season 2: Clark, Jonathan, Martha
Season 3: Clark, Lex
Season 4: Clark, Lois
Season 5: Clark, Lex, Brainiac
Season 6: Clark, Lex, Lana
Season 7: Clark, Lex, Kara
Season 8: Clark, Chloe
Season 9: Clark, Zod
Season 10: Clark

[Livstevi21]

Season 1: Clark
Season 2: Clark, Jonathan, Martha
Season 3: Clark, Lex
Season 4: Clark, Lois
Season 5: Clark, Lex, Brainiac
Season 6: Clark, Lex, Lana
Season 7: Clark, Lex, Kara
Season 8: Clark, Chloe
Season 9: Clark, Zod
Season 10: Clark

That would have been much better DVD covers!

True she did have more screen-time, but I felt season 3 was kinda not a big year for Lana, and more for Chloe/Lionel.

I guess when I look at the cover, seeing Lex, Clark and Lana on the cover, you'd be think thinking the season is suppose to be about those 3 and there story lines are tied together. But we all have our views.

hehe aww but we can always make our own dvd covers, and then we wouldn't have to put up with our disliked covers. :D

[Superbruv]

For me it's S4; was the best.

Just the lovely greens with Lois looking schmexy in the background whilst Tom in the foreground looking badass!

[bizzaroboy9]

i hope we have lots of special features on the s10 dvd!

[CK.]

Superb very well done

Ya know Smallville should do season recaps like this to promote the shows finale

Thank you!

From TV Shows on DVD:

We reported back in September that Amazon.com had begun taking advance orders for DVD and Blu-ray releases of Smallville - The Complete 10th Season, even though Warner Home Video hasn't officially announced the title yet. We're still waiting for that formal word from the studio, but now we might have a release date for this item! VideoETA, a site produced by the retail distribution arm of Ingram Entertainment, is showing that these sets, costing $59.98 SRP for the DVD and $69.97 SRP for the BD, will be available on November 8th. That is, of course, early information and could be subject to change. Stay tuned for updates, when the studio finalizes things and makes their official product announcement.

[superhippie2000]

i hate we have to wait till november :( they better be giving us good extras if we have to wait this long. last time we waiting this long i think was back when season 3 came out on dvd :(

[jsm]

That is a long time to wait. Maybe the plan is to also release the Complete Series Set on that date as well. Sometimes the Final Season and Complete Series sets are released on the same day.

I wonder if it will still be really cheap around Thanksgiving- that's when I was planning on buying it. But it'll only be released for about 3 weeks at that time.

Hi, I recently purchases season 9 on dvd through a store on Amazon and on the DVD insert which lists a brief description of all the episodes on the disks, all the episodes and disks are in a crazy order! Like half of disk 6, disk 1, disk 4 and so on. Did anyone else experience this or am I a victim of bootleging or maybe a rare occurence like misprinted stamps? Thanks!

I think that this late date is indeed made for targeting the holiday season and for The complete series DVD and BD to sell units....I'm so excited....I have all the seasons on DVD and I want to purchase the complete series on BD.....I hope it is as well done and beautiful as the Friends - The complete series DVD....WB never dissapoints.....

I am mostly happy with the choices made for the cover artwork.....the only one I would change is the one of the third season.....I don't like it for some reason.....it would be more fitting to put Lex and Lionel there instead of Lex and Lana....if they would HAVE to put Lana on a cover aside from season 6's (which I loved) it would be season 2.....the whole season had to do with the two of them coming more close....
As for season 10....I would have to say Clark with the suit or the jacket or maybe Clark on the suit with Lois back to back much like that pic from season 9's CROSSFIRE....only this time Lois would pull his cape instead of the tie....

[SuperLuke]

Ok, from the front, The cover and the 1st page are fine, page 2 starts with the 2nd page of disk 4 (instead of the character page which is replaced where the 2nd page of disk 2 is, pages 3 and 4 (disk 1) are good but where the first page of disk 2 is there is the first page of disk 6 and it is replaced where disk 6 should go. I uploaded an image and am sorry about the image quality. Also the DVD labels look faded.

Ok....first of all....your dvd is legitimate.....now....as to why it's like this....there has obviously been a mixup with connecting the pages....i.e. page 14 should be next to page 5 and so on....I guess this happens and maybe it's like this to whole spesific bunch that was sent to amazon from the factory so you might not be the only one who has them that way....as for the faded dvd arts dont worry.....some of mine are too....printing on a disk is like printing on paper...sometimes it goes wrong and it looks faded but as you can repeat the printing on paper until you get it right that's not the case with disks because then they would go to waste and you dont easilly throw a whole disk away....it just happened...

Season 9 finally came out here last week after months of waiting. Wasn't so bad since Lazarus aired only a week after Salvation which I was totally surprised by. Ambush airs tonight so will re-watch:)

[costas22]

i hate we have to wait till november :( they better be giving us good extras if we have to wait this long. last time we waiting this long i think was back when season 3 came out on dvd :(

Just read about this.:( Does this mean that the region 2 release will get pushed back as well? It scares me that I might not get the DVD before 2012.:\

[WellingFan]

I'm from UK and i always get region 1, region 2 sucks. Region 1 has better casing, better dvd menu and booklet just like all of the seasons. I like that my collection is the same as in it has all of those features.

[clark_superman]

I like the US bluray/dvd just because I can get a nice booklet.

[jjgravitas]

When they release the DVD for Season 10 I would like to see them include a gag reel of stuff from the last 7 seasons, or as far back as they are able to go. They haven't done a gag reel since Season 3, B.E.D. (before Erica Durance). I bet they have a lot of good stuff of Erica. Whaddya say guys?

I'd be actually mad if the gag reel is only 5 mins long, to be honest they have material for hours worth of bloopers for a 10 year program. I always get annoyed when tv shows do have gag reels on the dvd they are rather short.

Forget Lex, THEY are the villains of the story!

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

I think if November 8th is the real release date, its because there doing somthing special for the final dvd set, mabey more bonus features need more time!? Mabey there doing an epic series collection set!!! I wouldnt mind waiting, if that were the case!

[jsm]

I wasn't going to buy it until around Thanksgiving, anyway. So I don't mind that it's coming out on November 8th.

[KalEltheBoyscout]

Considering that there's five regulars this season, how do you think the disc art for Season 10 will play out?

[A Flawed Fashion]

Clark, Lois, Oliver, Tess, Chloe each get a disk and then maybe a cast shot or something supermanly. I imagine they'll work something with Normal Clark and Superclark (be it leather jacket or Superman) into the mix. That would work well for a disk. First disk Clark. Last disk Superman with the rest of the cast in between (that is if it is six disks).

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

The season 9 cover was a really fantatsic image IMO, it had a very comic book drawn feel so i would really hope the s10 cover is him either in the superman suit ontop of the DP or him with the glasses and a shirt rip or somthing, so iconic!!! the last 2 covers i really enjoy

[marv422ville]

Ultimately, not many are gonna be completely happy with how the show ends. Personally,I've had my moments where I wished they had kept it more in Smallville, concentrated more on him in college, and ended the series with he and Lois starting work at The Planet. But there have been so many great moments that I wouldn't have been witness to. I'm also one of those viewers that feels Chloe has been missed this season. All in all it's been an amazing ride. I wish that I had been with this show from the begining,I spent an entire summer watching seasons 1-5 to catch up so for me it's too soon. It'll be one of my fave shows always.

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----

And yeah, waiting until Nov. for season 10 on dvd sucks!! It better be loaded. Welling better do some comentary,especially on the finale. A retrospect would be nicer. And how about Comicon from this past year with Tom and John?!

[KryptonStones]

Wait, wait.......has there been any information on the FULL series DVD collection? Ultimately, that's what I'm expecting/really wanting to happen...????

[DAISHI]

My mother called me to ask if I had Season 9 on DVD... had my hopes up when I went to visit her on the weekend.

There was no such DVD waiting.

[superhippie2000]

Im sure there will be a complete series set. The release of the regular has only been announced and we have no cover art or bonus features or any other detials. Im sure when we get detials they will announce the different versions that will come out with it.

I think you have the first five right.

However, I think the sixth disk will have Greg Sullivan, Lucas Luthor, Darkseid and Shelby.

There are still a few more weeks to go before Smallville signs off, but if you're expecting to go through withdrawal, here's something that should help: Smallville: The Complete Series DVD is coming out this fall. In addition to all 218 episodes, the massive 62-disc(!) set includes the following special features:



* 90-minute series retrospective with new cast and crew interviews
* Commemorative issue of the Daily Planet, created by DC Comics
* 2010 Comic-Con International panel
* Episode guide with production art (storyboards and sketches) and behind the scenes photos
* Previously unseen Superboy pilot from 1961

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Smallville-Complete-Series-DVD-1032302.aspx

There is a trailer for it is at that link. (And it does look like one of the things Michael Rosenbaum did was the 90 minute retrospective interview)

Really wish there was a blu-ray coming out of this. That way people could get Season 1-5 on blu-ray for the first time. But i'd take a guess and say some day a Smallville-Complete Series blu-ray will come out.

[costas22]

Any idea whether this means that season 10 won't come out separately on DVD? I want to avoid buying the first 9 on DVD again. :\

[DrEmil]

*SQUEEEEEKS NERD-ILY*

I really hope for a BD release too...having already purchased every DVD set.....I want to get this soooo much.....

But letsface it they should release a BD complete series....Lost did it and it only had six seasons....Smallville may not be THE GRAND show of all times but it has one of THE BIGGEST fanbases out there so a BD release of all seasons should be out....dont forget that seasons 1-5 have already been remastered to 720p for iTunes....so another upscaling to 1080p shouldnt be too hard.....
pleeeease WB.....WE WANT A COMPLETE SERIES BLU-RAY TOO!!!!!!!

I wonder how much it would cost for bluray

[The Short One]

I just stumbled across the TV Guide DVD trailer and I think my heart stopped beating for a minute (somebody save me!) Does that fact that I have managed to pay less than $120 for ALL of my Smallville box sets justify purchasing this collection? I think so.

[Moscowgirl]

My older smallville DVDs are starting to skip bad and not even play? Like seasons 1-5? Idk if its cause i watched them to much or the discs get bad over time. Its gettin me mad!

Last time I was in the States I bought this great stuff called "Scratch Out!" that repairs CD & DVD (games, movies, music, etc.). My Smallville DVDs are NOT scratched but for some reason they started to skip, get stuck in one spot and generally make me crazy when I tried to watch them. I wipe this stuff on them and voila! DVDs are fully functional again.

This stuff can be bought online or anywhere that sells computer equipment, like office supply stores.

Hope this helps any frustrated DVD viewers like I used to be. Cheers & good luck!

[Mel823]

I've been waiting for a complete set for a long time, and now it's announced, it's only in DVD format:/

I'll hold out for the blu-ray.

[Aries83]

I've been waiting for a complete set for a long time, and now it's announced, it's only in DVD format:/

I'm surprised by how fast this is coming out. What about the regular S10 set? Geez.

I'll probably buy it for the fact that I'm a sucker for this stuff, but my main concern for everyone who buys it is quality control. With 62 discs, I hope the set won't be plagued by compression errors or scratched discs out of the box.

I'm also wondering why they wouldn't do something a little more clever with the packaging, like creating an octagonal box (and disc case) to resemble the key? It would've also been nice to get a replica of the key as a keepsake.

Oh well. I'll buy it anyway.

Edit: Amazon.com is already listing (http://www.amazon.com/Smallville-The-Complete-Series/dp/B004XWLN20/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1288975111&sr=1-24) the box set, available for pre-order at $224.99.

Ouch. At any rate, I've already pre-ordered mine just to make sure I get the lowest price possible between now and the release date. And, I can cancel at any time...:rotfl:

[jsm]

I don't know why there are 2 discs of special features on the Complete Series set. If Season 10 and the Complete Series come out the same day, why don't they put those special features on the Season 10 DVD? I doubt many people are going to sell their first 9 seasons and buy the complete series set just for 2 extra discs of special features. It wouldn't be worth the hassle. The people who have bought the first 9 seasons over the years don't get the extra special features. 24 did that with their complete series set.

Amazon also has a possible cover art- not bad, but I doubt many people will go through the hassle of selling their season sets to buy the complete series set.

[Hal-Jordan]

The actual Orchestral music part of the DvD collection trailer before the "Somebody Save Me" part i think could be used for revealing Tom wearing the Suit imo it has a nice Supermanly vibe to it.

I doubt many people are going to sell their first 9 seasons and buy the complete series set just for 2 extra discs of special features. It wouldn't be worth the hassle. The people who have bought the first 9 seasons over the years don't get the extra special features. 24 did that with their complete series set.


I think that's why the special features will be a bart of the complete series. Because if they are in the S10 dvd set, those that bought the first 9 seasons on DVD won't feel the need to buy the box set. I do hope they release a separate DVD for S10 on the same day. Even without the special features.

As much as I'd appreciate that more than having to buy the whole series set, they're probably doing it to make more money. If they put whatever's gonna be on the series set on the Season 10 DVD set, that would affect sales of the series set, especially if people say: "Well, I have those features on the S10 set so I won't buy the whole series." They want to make as much money as possible, which means making certain special features exclusive to one set instead of another.

I'm not. I want my regular S10 set on top of this new box set.

[Mel823]

I'm surprised by how fast this is coming out. What about the regular S10 set? Geez.

I'll probably buy it for the fact that I'm a sucker for this stuff, but my main concern for everyone who buys it is quality control. With 62 discs, I hope the set won't be plagued by compression errors or scratched discs out of the box.

I'm also wondering why they wouldn't do something a little more clever with the packaging, like creating an octagonal box (and disc case) to resemble the key? It would've also been nice to get a replica of the key as a keepsake.

Oh well. I'll buy it anyway.

Edit: Amazon.com is already listing (http://www.amazon.com/Smallville-The-Complete-Series/dp/B004XWLN20/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&qid=1288975111&sr=1-24) the box set, available for pre-order at $224.99.

Ouch. At any rate, I've already pre-ordered mine just to make sure I get the lowest price possible between now and the release date. And, I can cancel at any time...:rotfl:

$224.99!!!!!:eek: It's a good thing I'm already sitting down. (Wait why am I so shocked, i just spent that much money on a purse.)

I wonder if the WB Shop is going to have any extras if you order through them?

[patrickm2009]

The actual Orchestral music part of the DvD collection trailer before the "Somebody Save Me" part i think could be used for revealing Tom wearing the Suit imo it has a nice Supermanly vibe to it.

I think you could be right. I could imagine it being for the finale scene, with him flying up into the sky as the people of Metropolis watch.

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

Last time I was in the States I bought this great stuff called "Scratch Out!" that repairs CD & DVD (games, movies, music, etc.). My Smallville DVDs are NOT scratched but for some reason they started to skip, get stuck in one spot and generally make me crazy when I tried to watch them. I wipe this stuff on them and voila! DVDs are fully functional again.

This stuff can be bought online or anywhere that sells computer equipment, like office supply stores.

Hope this helps any frustrated DVD viewers like I used to be. Cheers & good luck!

Thanks for the help! Ill look into it!!!!


The complete series set looks amazing!!! Im def buiying it! Its so worth the money, the complete smallville series and mythology is priceless IMO, i do wonder if you order through WB if theyll have a free gift or same with Best buys. Ill take a comic con bag or Tom Welling figure :)

[Aries83]

$224.99!!!!!:eek: It's a good thing I'm already sitting down. (Wait why am I so shocked, i just spent that much money on a purse.)

It's a little steeper than I thought, but I think it will sell really well. The price will probably go down based on how many units are pre-ordered, but I'd be willing to pay $175 at the most. Not sure it'll come down that much, but I'm sure the price will be lowered.

Amazon also has a possible cover art- not bad, but I doubt many people will go through the hassle of selling their season sets to buy the complete series set.
well we still dont know whats going to be on the season 10 set. we may get an extra disc. im sure the complete series will have extra bonus features but im sure we will get a good amount on the season dvd. im pretty sure we probably wont get the Superboy bonus feature but will probably get the 90s minute retrospective thing.

[Estro-gen X]

I think its pretty insulting that they want us to buy the show again for extra discs. There is no reason to keep this off the Season 10 set and respect the fans who have supported the show with their hard earned cash over the years

[Wolflmg]

I already own the first nine seasons and their all in perfect shape mainly because I keep them in a sleeve booklet and not in the dvd case (even though I still have all nine box cases).

So I have no reason to fork over over 200 dollars for the whole series just for some extra video interviews, as cool as those would be. I bought most mine when they were on sale during the chirstmas holiday.

I'll just end up buying season 10 when it comes out (Best Buy) already has it listed, but does not say what's on the dvds other then the episodes.

Maybe we'll get luckey and it'll be on the single season 10 release or maybe even itunes will have a download for it.

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

Well IMO i want a Series set, its very collectable for the fans who want one, im shure the season 10 box set will be great but its nice WB and DC are creating a giant epic collectors set for the fans who want one.

It looks like theres 2 Giant binders, one holds season 1-5 and the other i assume is 6-10. The episode guide looks nice and big!!

[Clark/Lois-fan]

The box set sure do looks awesome, but I'll wait for the Complete Series on Blu Ray. The trailer was cool and I was excited to see some S10 features.

[DC Fanboy]

The complete set is very tempting but i'm not buying it unless they have some sort of deal where you trade in your S1-S9 sets for a heavy discount.

One thing I wish studios would focus on, especially when releasing Series sets like this (no matter the show), is size. The case itself looks massive. I'm not sure about the DVD cases or what's included, but sometimes smaller is better.

[SuperGary452]

I'll probably be waiting for a Blu-Ray series set. Knowing WB/DC, if they make one they'll probably put it out around December of next year to coincide with "Man of Steel".

based on the promo for it, it seems like its a book and the discs are in slip sleeve type holders and not a regular case. i hate those slip sleeve things so even if i was going to get the complete collection that would have turned me off from getting it :\

[doodie8808]

some body PLEASE tell me those features will be on the s10 set by it self excuse me as a viewr who does not LIKE all and every season of SV i am not going to spend my money on that. This is a get over. SV is a nice show but not worth no 224$ please

I don't like the sleeves either, I worry about scratching. The packaging looks thin, so that's probably the style they're using. I was going to buy the complete series of The West Wing until I saw it used that packaging. I ended up spending a little more money and bought the 7 seasons seperately.

It does seem expensive, but it's only $22 per season for 10 seasons, and a little over $1 per episode.

im sure most will be but some will probably be complete series exclusive. like the super boy episode and they may cut down some of the featurettes which might wind up being a store exclusive.

[doodie8808]

Well that sucks and thanks for the info guys. Seriously some of those episodes like Fails day and power are not even worth a dollar let alobe a penny or piece in paper (Shakes head)

ya thats why i stopped getting the Simpson DVDs cause they started doing that :\

ive noticed a lot of complete series use those type of cases. :\


im sure when it comes out it will probably be 175 bucks or something. plus if you get each season during black friday at certian stores you can probably get them 10 bucks each lol.


like some people said above it sucks they dont exactly have any special items to come with the set. would have been cool if it came with lanas necklace or the spaceship key or something. and the box art wish there would have been more on it. could always be a temp picture (not saying any spoilers just a thought) and that they wont release the actually cover art of season 10 atleast cause it might have clark dressed up as superman and have it based on the finale. agian not a spoiler just a theory as to why we dont have any offical imagery.

[Sheikkra]

like some people said above it sucks they dont exactly have any special items to come with the set.

I would have loved if they added the keychain that all members of the DP got (S9 Metallo I believe it was).

I might justify spending $224 if we got something like that :lol:

[alexisfan07]

think thats just the promo poster someone uploaded to the site.
No, Clark's image is different from the teaser poster. I like the image but I wish he had the glasses on or that he had blue on him somewhere.

Pretty sure this is the official cover since it's in large quality if you zoom in.

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

Buying the complete series :D


I've been waiting for a complete set for a long time, and now it's announced, it's only in DVD format:/

I'll hold out for the blu-ray.

TV Shows on DVD is reporing the complete series won't be on Blue Ray cause it would be too expensive. Warner Bros would have to spend too much money to make it BR "compatiable"

Plus....I know that for a true-crazed-stuck-wth-it-obsessively-for-10-years fan the complete set is a no-brainer....and I'm sure we all going to find a way to sell-or-sth our old DVD sets for it....right? :lol:;)

[kryptonian95]

A complete series boxset has been confirmed for release this fall! I already have most of the dvds but I want a full season blu-ray remaster set! Anyone know if this will also be released in blu-ray? I'd love to see the early seasons in high def!

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

There are still a few more weeks to go before Smallville signs off, but if you're expecting to go through withdrawal, here's something that should help: Smallville: The Complete Series DVD is coming out this fall. In addition to all 218 episodes, the massive 62-disc(!) set includes the following special features:



* 90-minute series retrospective with new cast and crew interviews
* Commemorative issue of the Daily Planet, created by DC Comics
* 2010 Comic-Con International panel
* Episode guide with production art (storyboards and sketches) and behind the scenes photos
* Previously unseen Superboy pilot from 1961

http://www.tvguide.com/News/Smallville-Complete-Series-DVD-1032302.aspx

There is a trailer for it is at that link. (And it does look like one of the things Michael Rosenbaum did was the 90 minute retrospective interview)

Really wish there was a blu-ray coming out of this. That way people could get Season 1-5 on blu-ray for the first time. But i'd take a guess and say some day a Smallville-Complete Series blu-ray will come out.

Well, there goes my money. Looks great!

ya i agree about the cover. i honestly dont think that would be the one. i mean if it was im pretty sure KSite and TVShowsondvd would have announced it way before amazon put it up. if that is the dvd art it could be region 2 dvd art for part 1 or something. atleast for Supernatural for region 2 their part one is using a promo poster for their dvd cover. which i dont like as a dvd cover either. :\ good posters but dvd art seems like a cop out.

seeing how this season mirrored a lot of the early seasons i would really like the cover art to mirror season 1 cover art. only instead of a painted S on his chest and tied up in a cornfield id like the same pose maybe in the sky with him in the some postion but with the superman suit on. also other then season 1 and season 7 the background of the covers have been really dark so i think id like something bright seeing how superman is brightness and not dark. leave dark for batman.

Tell me about it. If they are cardboard, the backside of the sleeve would only scratch a disc every time you tried to fish it out. This is a little disappointing, but I'll wait till a better picture of the set is released to decide whether or not I want to cancel my order...

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

Im Very excited for the set, hopefully more good news is released. Its a great piece for the collection

[txluvstom]

I have the Friends Box Collection,and there's six small cardboard flip boxes. When you pull out a disk,there's a plastic type cover on the back to protect them. Maybe this box will have the same. You can't see it until you pull out the disk.

[Tabularasa]

I have 4 complete box sets with cardboard or plastic sleeves for the discs (Lost, The Wire, Scrubs, and Alias) and have never had a problem with scratching. As long as you're careful, you shouldn't have any problems.

I'm pretty psyched for this set. The 200 bucks for the set is actually pretty low for over 60 discs and over 200 episodes. I'll probably wait for the price to go down before I shell out for this.

I am so amped. I've been waiting for this for so long. This reminds me how badly I need a job. And actually, 300 isn't that bad of a price. Some shows that have been out for years in boxset are even more expensive. Must buy this at midnight! haha.

[RightWingConspirator]

I cannot wait!!!! How much do you guys think this will cost? I'm gonna start saving up now lol $100-$200? too high?

Given what comparable complete series (24, Lost) cost, I'm guessing just under $200 ( a little over $200 with tax).

If we ever get a complete blu-ray set--and I doubt we will--add another hundred.

And, yes, there will be a final season box set.

What I do in cases like this is put the disks in paper sleeves (which you can buy at Best Buy, Wally World, and most drug/discount stores) and then snap them on the little plastic holder in the case.

That's actually a really good idea, but what's the point of releasing a set with bad packaging / disc storage if the consumer has to go to such length to ensure that the discs are protected? Who knows, maybe the sleeves holding the discs slide out and it won't be a problem, but studios shouldn't be short-changing fans for the sake of spending less money to create a box set, especially one that's probably going to cost $100+.

The Star Trek Next Generation/Deep Space Nine boxed sets contained (on some seasons) bonus disks. Having bought both series season by season, I got those, but I've seen the bonus disks sold on ebay by themselves.

Probably not. "Ultimate" just means that it has every episode and documentries and other features not found in the season by season editions. I cn't see them releasing two "colplete series" editions. I don't think that's happened before.

Except, of course, for those that have the complete series on blu Ray and DVD....

the retrospective might but it may be a different one or just cut back a bit. everything else i doubt.

normal features for season 10 might wind up being a couple commentaries, deleted scenes, a superman featurette, some sort of look back thing, maybe a recap of the series, and maybe a couple interviews or behind the scenes things with old cast members returning like JS, AO, and MR.

[VilleFan]

The 90 minute retrospective is what sparks my interest! But, I already have most of the seasons at this point, so it's not really worth paying hundreds of dollars just for the special features. :\

if its not on the normal set then i assume maybe it will wind up being an exclusive at best buy or wal mart or something. while i like exclusives id rather them just put bonus feature stuff in the dvd sets themselves. most people could probably let go of a free shirt or keychain or whatever but most people would most likely want to see some extra footage from a tv show or movie.

[shy175223]

I don't know, I might just pay $200 for the whole thing just because of the feature bonuses eventhough i have all the sets 1-9. I might just wait a little longer though just to see if Walmart or Best Buy have better deals.

[Tabularasa]

I doubt the retrospective will be on the normal season 10 release. All these features will most likely be exclusive for the complete series set.

I pre-ordered my set today. All for you,Craig. I even got a $5.00 discount from my Christmas ordering last year. So,I only paid $219.89 with free postage and handling. Totally worth it.

I've already got season 1-4 on dvd, season 5 on hd dvd, and 6-9 on blu. I probably would of bought it, if it were on bluray. Considering that seasons 5+ have already been release on blu, would it really of been that hard to master the first 4 seasons? There available on itunes in HD aren't they, and air on some channels in repeats on HD.

Had the box been in blu, I probably would of bought it.. oh well.....

Yep I dont think I'll buy the complete set was so excited for the blu-ray, as I own some blu ray and some dvd not worth it. On the other hand I might as well just buy the HD versions of season 1 - 4 on itunes or something.

Lost was released on blu-ray the complete series, and that was around $200 for a blu-ray.

I hate WB dvd's/blu-rays, I always find the sets have so little extras, when you compare it to the likes of Lost or X-Files dvd's for instance they offer alot more extras.

[Lori Lemaris]

I noticed the Smallville stars/starring: Tom Welling, Allison Mack....
Though it is kinda weird to see it, cos it has always been Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum...I really like that Allison Mack's name is ahead of Kristin Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum, she totally deserves it for staying loyal for 10 years! Her and Tom...

I think the series set comes with those features announced, But the season box set will include the regular 2 commentrary, deleted scene and mabey a featurette on either LEX, mabey the making of the 200th ep or finale? SO the box set will include all that stuff

[Tabularasa]

Probably not. "Ultimate" just means that it has every episode and documentries and other features not found in the season by season editions. I cn't see them releasing two "colplete series" editions. I don't think that's happened before.

Except, of course, for those that have the complete series on blu Ray and DVD....

Hmmm. Offhand, I can't think of any series that is complied on blu-Ray....

Lost, Deadwood, and Battlestar Galactica were complete on Blu-Ray. If a show goes back and re-releases seasons on Blu-Ray, the chances ae 99% that they're gonna get a Blu-Ray complete series set. If they don't, then you're gonna get a DVD only release.

[Spirit Detective]

If they have separate discs devoted to the special features on the complete sets, I doubt we'll get the full retrospective on the Season 10 release. It's a shame because that's the only feature I care about, save for commentaries.

I plan on getting the Season 10 dvd only. I already have Seasons 1 - 9 on dvd and have not yet double dipped on any dvd I've purchased.

Supernatural started to release its older season blu. Originally they started with s3 onward, then last year s1, and s2 out in June. ROME is all on blu. Star Trek The Original Series is all on blu.

24 did the same thing last year. Release an entire series set but only on DVD. It aired in HD from its first season so you know they can do it (just like smallville) but opted not do. Doing it right after the season ends is the optimal time? It has alot of popularity still (Lost released its season set within months of the series ending)

There's definitely a market for blu. I pretty much down buy dvd anymore Probably haven't for 5 or 6 years. It's hard when you know you're buying a format thats somewhat obscelete (allthough still popular, you know theres a better format).

oh well.. I'll have to survive with my itunes HD rips of the first 4 seasons (and never throw away my hd dvd player so I can use season 5...)

[LilMo]

I realized a while ago that this was coming out, so I purposely didn't buy any DVD's.

I guess it's all about whether or not there's a demand for it and how many episodes they would have to transfer. Lost and Supernatural re-released in Blu while they were still on air.

Deadwood and BSG were shot in HD already so when they were put on Blu, it wasn't a big deal because they didn't have to do a full transfer. There's demand for Smallville and 24 to be put out on Blu-Ray, but I guess the studios don't want to seeing as though Smallville would need to transfer about 4-5 seasons and 24 would have to transfer 6 seasons.

We might see these shows on Blu-Ray later on, but I wouldn't count on it for awhile.

[Superboy2]

I hope they have an 8 disc set that includes the two bonus discs. I don't wanna buy the whole series again when I have 1-9 on DVD already. I guess I could sell them all and make what, 80 bucks? Hopefully an exclusive. I always buy the sets the day of or within 1-2 days of it being released.

Didn't 24 and Smallville originally air in HD (and smallville's early seasons are on itunes in hd, and have reaired on hdnet in hd). So if they already have HD transfers shouldn't it be fairly easy? It's not like they were originally aired in SD, and no one ever made HD versions.

The one thing I find wierd is you can find HD versions of smallville season 1-4 fairly easy on the net as they've reaired and are on itunes, but not for 24. I guess 24 never caught on in syndication?

[bizzaroboy9]

i hope we see what the season 10 dvd cover will look like soon!

[KneelBeforeSmallville]

If the season 10 set had the other 2 discs it would defeat the purpose of having a Collectors set. Season 10 set will prob come with the classic 2 commentary, deleted scenes and a featurette or 2. Ill be buying both

[Mr. Clark Kent27]

Season 10 DVD cover yet? What do you think it will have? The Blur? (red jacket) Lois too? Metropolis blue sky would be a nice change of pace.

Hmm, considering there aren't many options, they should have used Zod in the background in season 9. Hard to know what season 10 has been essentially about, I mean Darkseid, but where has he been this season? Only ones necessary I think are Lionel and Ultraman.

[A Flawed Fashion]

I kind of dislike that they did Clark alone for the cover of season 9 because I like seeing the other cast members on the cover and I think season 10 is a more appropriate place to have a Clark alone cover. Season 9 would have been the perfect opportunity to put any of Tess, Chloe, Oliver, or Zod on the cover.

This season, I think it would be cool if they did Clark in the front with Superman behind (a lot like they did with the Clark and Kara cover).

I just want the cover to have Superman on it. perhaps that is why they are waiting so long as to avoid a spoiler. im not saying we will even see superman just a theory as to why we dont have a cover yet. usually we have covers by mid april.

i dont think anyone but clark should be on this cover.

season 9 should have really had chloe :\ but i really do like the season 9 cover. its probably my fav.

Wish I was in the position where I could do that, but I'll have to settle with just season 10. With already having season 1-9, I have no reason to have doubles ...even though I'd really like to have the special extra stuff.

[Billy Jor-El]

I'm reading that the November release of the complete series will include bonus material not before seen. Does anyone have an idea if a bonus disc will be made available as a separate item (I doubt it) for those of us that have purchased the whole series one season at a time? I'm sure not going to shell out over $200 just for a bonus disc!

they never do :( unless its an exclusive at best buy, target, or walmart.




one thing i hope they add to the regular set are those TV spots promoting the finale cause they are really good and i can watch them over and over. also those dvd promo trailers that are showing clips from different seasons.

Think of it as a fail-safe collection.....

At least, that's how I'm gonna justify it....:p

AWESOME JOB!!! Very emotional and intense at the end!!!

[xaosthry]

Didnt see it posted but the first episodes of each season is free on itunes right now

[Wolflmg]

Sweet. I was wondering if itunes was going to offer some free Smallville episodes.

[Estro-gen X]

The cover of 10 should be Clark alone in his suit.

[RightWingConspirator]

The cover of 10 should be Clark alone in his suit.

There is a pic--I think it's just a promotional pic for the web--of Clark, wearing casual clothes, standing in front of a dark wall with a dark Superman shield. Off to his right, is his shadow....in the classic Superman pose* with a flowing cape. THAT should be the cover. It's not about Superman, it's about his last steps to becoming Superman.
There's also one of him in his suit and tie.

Scratch that. To correctly show what the last season is about, the cover should be the producers and writers on stage, giving the fans the finger.


* By this, I mean the pose George Reeves has in the last scene of the opening title for the 1950's "Adventures of Superman".

[superhippie2000]

The cover of 10 should be Clark alone in his suit.
i agree

[Super Maverick]

8!

[Mel823]

If iTunes has all the seasons in HD, then why is there no blu-ray of the first couple of seasons.

[Genny]

Does anyone know when the season 10 boxset cover will be released?

[wellinglover66]

^In the Fall.

[Genny]

Usually they have a picture of it that they release before hand.

[jsm]

Does anyone know when the season 10 boxset cover will be released?

The cover art for the season 9 DVD was revealed on May 24 last year, so it may be around then. But the season 10 DVD isn't coming out until November 8, so the art might not be revealed until later.

[superhippie2000]

the cover better have Superman on it :D

[bizzaroboy9]

can't wait to see what the cover looks like... i really don't know what they are going to put on the cover. i cant see them doing the superman cover...

[Superboy2]

Anyone know if Target, Best buy or Wal-Mart will have the two bonus dics as an exclusive special? I don't wanna buy the series set right now for it. Maybe one of those stores will be cheaper than amazon

[momo6995]

Do you think they'll put bloopers on the S10. They don't do that anymore and they really should because some of those episodes probably had some great bloopers.

[~*smallville_tv*~]

So for the Season 10 DVD...What extras do you hope for? What do you predict will be in them?

I'm hoping some footage from the wrap up party. Cast members, crew talking about their time on smallville. Also behind the scenes footage- filming the last episode.

Gagreels- there's gotta be some particularly since Michael Rosenbaum appeared for the last episode (even if it was a day.) but he seems to be the main one involved in it lol. But I have a feeling that won't happen :(

I'm pretty sure there will be a video with mixed clips from smallville season 1-10. But actually I think it would be good if there was an interview with cast talking about what was their favourite episode, challenging acting scene, etc. But can't really see that either lol.

[Wolflmg]

I would like to see bloopers, deleted scene and any bonous stuff that's on the complete series box set. I already have season 1-9 nine, so not really in the market to have doubles of what I already own. And don't exactly have the pockets to do it either.

[Wolflmg]

I would love for one of thoese stores to offer that.
