I had the same problem when I bought Season 2 at Walmart and had to take it back. I made them open it for me at the return counter to make sure the second set wasn't scratched.

Luckily, i didn't have that problem with Season 3.. I opened it out in my car and held my breath to make sure because I didn't really wanna have to walk right back in there and exchange it, although I was prepared to.

The The Smallville Season 3 DVD is now available, and on the fifth disc you can find an easter egg featuring the Rosenclown himself, Michael Rosenbaum.

On the "easter egg" (which is what people call hidden stuff on a DVD) you can find a brief bit with Michael interviewing random members of the Smallville crew up in Vancouver.

Here's how you find it:

- Find where it says "Producing Smallville"
- Put your cursor right next to the word "Camera."
- Click right on your DVD remote's direction pad.
- You will see a Superman logo. Click on the logo. Enjoy!

MR only interviews one guy, the wardrobe guy. It's cute but rather pointless. He asks him if he's ever seen Tom Welling naked.

I just got the Season 3 DVD at Best Buy and have not had any problems so far. I was so disappointed in the lack of TW. No funny gag reel stuff was such a disappointment. I wonder how they pick stuff. I mean it was odd how there was nothing of him. I was so mad. Even if he didn't want to do the commentary (which I would have loved to hear his thoughts again) I still can't understand why he wasn't shown at all. Also did any one else get the feeling that the commentary with AM and JG was not connected to the Marshall comments. It almost seems as if they were edited in because they had no interaction what so ever with each other and repeated ideas and observations. It was odd.

All that said, I loved seeing the episodes again. So much more than when watching the season. Maybe because I skipped the ones that bored me, but I forgot how great some of the storylines and acting was. It has been such fun seeing it all again. There are always some episodes that are just so interesting and move the story along so much. I forgot so many of the little details and facts that we learned in S3. The Clark and Lex stuff was so great. I'm enjoying the DVD so much.

[vyperman7]

The one thing that I thought was really funny, was how they mentioned Tom stuffing his pants during the commentary for Memoria. It was either Gough or Millar, but one of them said that Tom helped himself out by using a small sock. Then the other said it was "all natural" and Rosenbaum said "The guy is Superman after all". I thought that was pretty funny.

[margroks]

Surely they could still include Tom in the gag reels even if he didn't participate in the commentaries. I thought he had wonderful insights last year and I'd love to hear him talk again. We see so little of him outside the small screen I'd like to hear him at least.

[OneWayFilms]

I found an online dvd review site and a review on Smallville season 3. here it is:

Young Clark Kent begins to learn more about his destiny in Season Three of Smallville, perhaps the best show on television (at least when The Sopranos and 24 are on hiatus) that nobody’s watching. While many fans consider Season Three the weakest of the bunch, I found that the shows flow nicely together in a back-to-back context – as opposed to watching them on a weekly basis. There’s a nice arc in play here, and I enjoyed watching Season Three of Smallville on DVD a lot more than my memories of watching it on television in the 2003-2004 TV season.

Season Three begins three months after the cliffhanger that ended Season Two – with Clark under the influence of Red Kryptonite, which doesn’t hurt him – but does bring out his darker side. Clark has left Smallville because he feels responsible for his mother’s miscarriage at the end of Season Two, and the first two episodes - Exile and Phoenix - deal with Clark’s coming to terms with what he has done and where he belongs.

Much like The X-Files and other sucessful science-fiction programs, Smallville has both “mythology” episodes and “stand-alone” shows, with the former moving along the overall story, and the latter tending to be more “fun” – generally focusing on someone in town who has a special ability or power that Clark has to deal with.

Season Three is also peppered with some great guest-starring roles for notable actors, including Rutger Hauer playing criminal mastermind Morgan Edge; Michael McKean (who happens to be the real-life husband of Smallville star Annette O’Toole) guest-starring as Perry White; and the return of Christopher Reeve as Dr. Swann in Legacy in what would sadly be Reeve’s final appearance on the show.

Perhaps more than any previous season, there’s a lot of context to the ongoing storyline in this third season, which may be why many fans (including some right here at DVD Talk) got so frustrated with some of the episodes. Because of the ongoing storyline involving Clark’s biological father, Jor-El (voiced by Terrance Stamp) and his connection to some mysterious caves in Smallville, the chant of “Another Cave Show” and “No More Caves!” became a frequent one on forums here and elsewhere on the Net.

But all in all, this is a quite satisfying season of one of the more underrated (and under appreciated) series on TV. Smallville is easily the best incarnation of the Superman legend since Christopher Reeve’s theatrical films, and any fan of The Man of Tomorrow will want to add this boxed set to their collection – assuming you’ve seen the first two seasons first, of course!

THE DVD

Video:
Each episode is presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, and the quality looks great. Colors are just slightly over-saturated, but this is intentional and the way the show has always looked on TV – a way to give a more “comic book” feel to the program. Unlike the Season One DVD, where I saw a few pixelation and compression problems in the print, no such defects exist here, and fans should be quite happy with what they see.

Audio:
Each episode is presented in 2.0 Dolby sound, which is not only adequate, but sounds quite good. The audio is quite active and aggressive and this proves to be one of the better sounding 2.0 tracks I have heard for a television program.

Extras:
Included on the DVD are three Episode Commentaries for the shows Exile, Truth and Memoria. Sadly, star Tom Welling – who was part of two commentaries on the Season Two boxed set – does not appear on any of the commentaries this time around. The good news is that two stars that were absent last time out – Allison Mack (Chloe Sullivan) and John Glover (Lionel Luthor) – join director James Marshall for the Truth track. Star Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor), who was the best part of Season Two’s commentary tracks, joins Executive Producers Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, Greg Beeman and Ken Horton for the tracks for both Exile and Memoria.

Also spread across the DVDs are various Deleted Scenes for the episodes Exile, Slumber, Shattered, Velocity, Obsession, Resurrection, Crisis, Memoria, Talisman, and Forsaken. The makers of this set have wisely kept the deleted scenes on the disc with their respective episodes, rather than lump them all together on the final disc (a mistake I’ve seen more than a few TV show DVD releases do).

On Disc 5, viewers can check out Producing Smallville: The Heroes Behind The Camera, a 22-minute full-frame featurette that includes interview segments with both the cast and crew of Smallville.

Disc 6 includes the second volume (Vol. 1 is included on the Season Two boxed set) of The Chloe Chronicles, seven short segments that were created for the Smallville website and that star Allison Mack. It’s in this section that you’ll also get a look at the Interactive Comic Book that is advertised on the back box cover for this set – although it’s only “interactive” in the sense that you can page through it using your remote, much in the same way you would view a photo gallery.

Finally, Disc 6 also contains a 4 ½ minute Gag Reel, which I’m happy to report is presented in anamorphic widescreen. Although it’s the shortest bonus feature on this DVD, it’s also the most fun – and fans will want to make sure to check it out.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Entertaining, well-written, well-acted and featuring some impressive special effects, television programs don’t get much better than Smallville. While this may be the weakest season of the first three, it’s still better than most seasons of any hour drama that is currently on the air. This one’s an easy call: fly (don’t walk!) to your local store or online retailer and pick a copy up.

lol. I remember Erica commenting that he was Superman afterall too when filming the scene in Crusade where she introduces herself lol.

I just love the dvd quality though. There are some things I never noticed before, such as when the branded "8" is burning on Clark that it sometimes burn into an "S". It didnt twice once in the phone booth, and second in Phoenix when it goes off. I never noticed that before until now. It looks excellent :).

[savemeclark]

looking ahead to Season 4 on DVD...I hope Tom and John Glover do commentary for Transference.

[Summers]

I want a commentary for Run and Crusade :). I hope they have a featurette on the flying.

Haven't read any of this thread have you. [/B]

Actually no I havent, but when I made that comment it was in another thread, and was merged with this one ;p

You know for a fact that they will have Kristin do a commentary on Spell.

if they are going to do that they should try to have Erica and Allison too depending or not if they have time to do it. It would be cute to have all do the commentary.

If they can actually get her to TALK. LOL.

[lion_cobra]

Has anybody discovered it, found it? (Season 3 DVD)

Andrew

[savemeclark]

it's on the main page

[Sydafex7]

Umm, I dont know about you guys, but im kind of dissapointed with the xtras of the Season 3 dvd. First off, there is no commentary with TOm Welling. I know hes busy and he has trouble with it, but I would like SOMETHING about tom in the extras. An interview would be cool. But tom is no where to be found in the extras. Also, Tom isnt even in the gag reel!! Your telling me TOm didnt do ANYTHING silly or mess up any lines are anything? Please. The gag real was also a lot shorter than the one on season 2 and it was a lot funnier. Even the easter Egg is lame. I mean something hidden like that I would expect to be really really cool so when you find out about it it seems really neat. Kryptonsite has the easter egg listed as Michael interviewing random crew members, but there was only one interview with the Hair guy. I dont know, I just wish there was an equal role for all the members in the extras. it seems they feature certain ones every year.

[LexMac1]

agree

[Chewie77]

I agree... the second season gag real was great! The third season was short and not even really that funny. I listened to the commentary for Exile... and the producers talked about Clark and Chole falling on each other during the heated agurement in Metropolis. If you remember Clark grabs her and pushes her back toward the door... THey said that the two of them tripped and fell on top of each other... that would have been great for the Gag real

[DarkseidX]

Yes I agree the extras weren't great but the season was.

[BrentC007]

This belongs in the DVD discussion thread.

I'm just amazed how great the show looks and sounds. The picture and sound quality is really amazing.. it looks like a film, not a TV show. Considering it's just been six months since "Covenant" aired and the whole season is already on DVD, I think they did a great job.

[Chewie77]

Brent makes a good point... the dvd has great quality... i am impressed with that as well. I actually couldnt stop watching it... ive already watched all of the season 3 dvd

[Lord Rae]

I love the commentary for Truth with AM and John Glover... some great moments in all that.

[zaris]

Yes, because she was just so insightful, effective and enthusiastic in the last ones she did. ":rolleyes:

There are no "facts" when it comes to dvd commentary; wouldn't you have thought it a fact that Tom Welling would have done at least one on the season 3 set?

[svmoney]

I didn't expect that much from the extras, because there wasn't really that much last year. But I was really disappointed in this years commentary setup. I really liked how they had it last year with TW, MR, and KK (even though she didnt talk) and a crew member to keep them focused for one commentary for a epsiode, and then just a crew one for the same episode. So if you wanted different takes on the episode or just more of a goofy one (ie. the cast one with TW and MR) you had a choice. TW and MR were just really funny together last year and I missed it this year. The commentaries with MR this year just weren't as good since he was stuck with all the crew and they were just talking about techinal stuff, which is fine but they should make that seperate, so he didn't get to goof off that much. Also the one with AM and JG seemed weird, because it was like the crew member wasn't with them when they did their commentary, it was like he did his seperate. I just hope next year they do commentaries with the cast and crew separate and get TW and MR back together.

[vyperman7]

Isn't the most important thing having the episodes? I mean the extras are interesting the first time around. But once you have seen them, you usually don't give them a repeat viewing, with the acception of the gag reels. I agree that it would have been nice to hear Tom give commentary on Exile instead of Michael, but in the end, all that matters is that we finally have season three to watch on DVD.

[Chesay]

I love the extras though and I am just glad MR is willing to do the commentaries and cuts up on the gag reels. For my part I love that he is in it most because he is my personal favorite. The others don't seem as fan oriented or as willing to participate as MR, so I'd rather they not be forced to do it if they are unwilling. It seems to be a new experience for John Glover and I hope he will do a commentary with Michael as they have such great chemistry on screen together. I think John Schneider would enjoy doing it as well, but don't think he has been asked about it. It is always more enjoyable if the participants are doing it because they want to, not because they must. The episodes look great and it is wonderful to see them without commercials and in sequence.

[Fletcher]

I know this should go in the DVD thread, but I really wanted a quick answer to this. I've heard supposedly that there's commentary for the deleted scenes on the Season 3 DVD, but I don't no how to get to it. There doesn't seem to be an option for it on my DVD. Has anyone else had this problem?

[i luv tom welling]

There is no commentary for the deleted scenes.

[BrentC007]

That could have been possible. Sometimes they do that and then it's all edited together.

IMO the commentaries on any dvd is nice to have if one of the actors done them, but from the articles I read about tv shows on dvd that not actors have time to do it for three primary reasons.

First one is if your one of the main characters that season, then you are most likely working. Sometimes on dramas they have Second Units(on Buffy the last couple of years they had to do three units of filming).

Second, you have to put in the variable that the commentaries have to be done at a certain time period or day. For an example, one of actors on Buffy was suppose to do commentary, but she couldnt because she was working.

Third, if you are working so many hours what would rather have your small free time left to do. Doing commentaries or spending time with your loved ones. For an example, Sarah Michelle Gellar never did any commentaries because she was busy as heck, and the free time she did have she wanted to spend it with her family and friends. I mean the actors have a life too that doesnt include their job. There is no contract that the actors have to do commentary.

To me its basic common sense, and if we get a commentary I'm glad they had the time. But if they dont its no biggie to me because I love having the episodes in dvd quality :).

Yeah, that's what I figured too. As Rosenbaum said, Welling is the hardest working actor on the show since he's practically in every scene.. so maybe his schedule wouldn't allow it.

Plus I think they put this set together more quickly than they did season 2, so there probably was only a small window of production time on the set.

[Kobold]

did anyone get the episode guide, coz i ordered it from amazon, but didnt get the guide. really annoyin!! im gonna get season 3 for xmas, cant wait!! actually i cant wait til season 4 starts, but i dont have E4 at uni, it sucks!! jason looks pretty sexy tho.

Zaris,

You sold yours? I am dissapointed in you. :D

But seriously though, I am suprised that you did sell your set, because even if you thought that season three was the weakest one yet you should have kept the set just for the collector's element of having all the seasons available so far on DVD.

Plus, why would you buy it, only to sell it shortly after? If you never had any intention of keeping it, then why spend the money to buy it?

[zaris]

I didn't think season 3 was the weakest, at least, not the first half. That would be season 2, imo. ( Sold that one too.) I had pre-ordered the 3rd season set and simply became too disenchanted and disappointed with the show to enjoy watching it anymore. I did like seeing the gag reel however.

This dude is a trip. zaris you hate the way it's going but you keep on watching. Totally illogical!

[zaris]

No I am not continuing to watch. As I have stated, and you no doubt must know because I find you replying rudely and sarcastically to everything I post, following me around like a stalker, Bound was the end of my Smallville viewing experience.

[angelfire east]

I just bought season 1 and 2, but season two is a x-mas gife so I can't watch it till x-mas day, but I did see the gag reel, too funny. Michael Rosenbaum is so funny:D I just love him.

OH NO ZARIS!! Are you going to completely stop watching all Smallville, or are you still going to be a fan of the first few seasons??? I guess probably not Season 3 since you were unhappy enough with it to sell it almsot as soon as you got it......don't get me wrong, I'm not tryin to hate, just curious.

Wow, so much bitterness over who likes and doesn't like a tv show......sorry guys, I think you are being a bit harsh.

I have all 3 season on DVD and I love all 3 of them. I would have to be really desperate to sell mine. 20 years from now they will be great and a collectors item.

[MrsMalendaLuthor]

I agree that I own and love all three seasons, and I would have to be highly desperate to sell or get rid of them, but can't we all just get along?? LoL

[smlvilleluva]

i still dont understand why you would sell it... you could have just canceled your pre-order. but i guess it isnt my business. i can proudly and happily say that i own all three seasons and i would have to be dead for someone to take them away from me

Congratulations on winning the sets, what a cool experience!

I don't mind you asking me why I sold the dvds, because you did so respectfully. I'll try to explain why.

Basically it's because I am feeling so very disappointed in the direction the show has taken, that it no longer gives me any pleaure to watch. And some of the perceptions I have been reading by some fans only darken my opinion of the show, because some fans just repeat the party line. So I've stopped watching the show and gotten rid of the dvds as a kind of "cleansing experience". I'm slowly weaning myself away from all other Smallville-related things, too--although...

I still have season 1, and I love it. I had really high hopes for the potential of this series, of seeing Lex and Clark's stories and how they transform into thier respective destinies, and it always left me with a good feeling afterward. I certainly can't say that any longer. The show has simply strayed too far away from it's roots. :(

[smlvilleluva]

thanks zaris for responding so nicely... i understand your point of view. the show has changed a lot and i imagine that it has both gained and loss quite a bit of people. at least you are able to still enjoy season one.:)

[zaris]

The ratings indicate that the show has lost quite a bit more than it's gained...oh well.

Hey, you know what my favorite part of the season 1 dvds is? The French dubbing. The actor who did the voice for Lionel is just perfect (deep, booming, refined sounding), while it also cracks me up to hear Lex calling him "Papa!" and Clark calling his parents "Maman & Papa".

[johnmatrix3rd]

lol

i know what you mean i have listened to that aswell, very funny

[smlvilleluva]

hahah! io have to go watch that!

I thought they was pretty good but could of been better. I notice that they always end with micheal though.

[KALS SON]

I know i luv the ending of season 2 gag reel when micheal was dancing that was so funny.

[lacey]

i thought season 2 gag real was way better

[KALS SON]

Yup indeed lol.

[SailorV]

Yeah, the season 2 gag reel was way better. That was hilarious when MR was dancing at the end. Oh, and all of the bloopers when MR and John Glover were together were GREAT. :lol: The season 3 one had some good parts too. I just wish Tom Welling had been in it!

[zaris]

For anyone interested, amazon has selected WB dvds at half-price for a limited time, and that includes second-season Smallville. (These are new, not re-sells.)

[Spoon AZ]

you got a link?

Does that include Buffy and Angel? I looked at those and they weren't 50% off

[zaris]

No, it does not include Buffy & Angel, only selected dvds. B & A weren't selected, apparently. The West Wing fans will also be very happy to know that their seasons 1 & 2 are available cheap, too, though.

[superman13]

When do u think Season 4 will come out on DVD?..Not for a while im guessing!

[i luv tom welling]

Some time after the season ends...

[lacey]

i have all 3 seasons

Here's the link for the list of WB shows on dvd that are half price off on amazon, including Smallville season 2, and JS's Dukes of Hazard:

Haha I've never thought to watch it in French, but I'm going to do that now! How funny!

Papa!!

Probably a few months after the season is over, I would guess, is when the Season 4 DVD set will come out.

[BrentC007]

Originally posted by superman13

The earliest will probably be around this time(Nov./Dec.) next year, the latest being early 2006.

Btw, does anybody have any sales figures or information on how well the 3rd season set is selling?

[zaris]

It is currently ranked #74 in dvd sales on amazon. It's first week of release, it hit #16.

So, I'd have to say...not that great.

[BrentC007]

That doesn't sound too bad, probably alot of people didn't order it because they're asking for it for Christmas.

I'm more interested in seeing retail sales figures. Does anybody have those?

[Summers]

I think I found one at ETonline. It has Smallville Season 3 at number 10:
http://et.tv.yahoo.com/topten/movies/dvdsales/

[smlvilleluva]

i would say that S4 will come out around mid-Nov... if not sooner... now that they know the general DVD idea, they can work all year at making it... not just when the season is over.

no, Buffy and Smallville both cost the same. Buffy Season 7 dvd was low for a two day sale on Black Friday(the day after Thanksgiving) for $17.00 plus tax but that's it. Every season of Buffy made the top ten. I was cool that both of my favorite shows are in the top ten :). I'm surprised that Yu-Gi-Ou(sp?) is in the top ten....kiddies sure love it.

but the link is the most recent on Dec.7th, so as of right now that's where Buffy and Smallville are at :).

[smlvilleluva]

this may be a stupid question and kinda unrelated but how many buffy dvd's are out... and also what number were the other smallville ones in the past?

[Summers]

I dont know the answer to the second question, but on Buffy I do know. All seasons of Buffy are now out. The one on the link I posted(season 7) was the last season that came out Nov.16th

[smlvilleluva]

yup. Buffy dvds has the best special features for tv shows around too.

back on topic I thought the Memoria deleted scenes were the most interesting out of all the deleted scenes IMO.

[superman13]

I saw Yesterday's show of the 2 hr special and i thought it was amazinggg..will they show the 2nd episode of Season 4 anytime soon?!

[smlvilleluva]

i think so... there is a schedule on the homepage- it will show up there i think

[superman13]

How many season's do u think Smallville will go up too!?!

[smlvilleluva]

i think at least 5... but probably 6 or so

[phutchings20]

Hi forum readers ;)

Do any of you know when Season 3 of Smallville is going to be released on DVD in the UK (or region 2)?

I've got Season 1 and 2 for Christmas, but can only find Season 3 on region 1. I know I could buy region 1 and it will probably work on my DVD player, but I've searched the Internet and there's no sign of Season 3 in the UK any time soon. Just wondered if anyone could shed a bit of light?

Thanks anyway, and am looking forward to Jan 26th 2005 (long wait until the next episode in Season 4!!!). What a nightmare!

Glad to hear that there's going to be a Season 5 too :D

Thanks for your time.

Hutch.

[smlvilleluva]

*i'm not sure about the season five thing... i was just guessing... but there really is no reason to think there wouldnt be (unless something tragic happens)

[phutchings20]

I read on a website somewhere (I'll try to find it again). That Season 5 is going to be based around the idea of them all finishing High School and going on to College. It will feature more of Metropolis and there will be more DC Characters involved. I think it was a quote from the director or producer :-) Unfortunately, he also said that Clark will never be seen in THE suit :-(

[Randy G.]

Yay! I just bought SV Season 3 DVD set. :p
I went straight for the last disc with the Gag Reel. It was funny as crap! :lol:
You gotta' love that Mike Rosenbaum, he seems like he would be really fun to work with, or hang with.
Only problem is, the Gag reel was way too short! I know y'all have more funny stuff than that. You're holding out on us.

Honestly, the Chloe Chronicles are boring as hell. I almost went to sleep while watching them, & wasn't even tired.
The Smallville Comic book & the Clark Cartoon thing was kinda' cool.
I guess I'll take one of these long winter nights when I'm snowed in, & have myself a SV Season 3 Marathon. ;)

[smlvilleluva]

YAY.... i actually like the chloe chronicles... i mean i'm not like head-over-heels, dying-for-the-next-dvd, in-love-with-them, but i think they are pretty good

[Unhappy_tiger]

I'm not sure if this has been addressed before, but I've been looking all over with no results, so this is my last resort - I'm hoping someone here can help me.

On the season 2 DVD's, specifically Red and Rosetta, the booklets that come with the DVD's say that there is two commentaries for each - the first with the director/producer guys, and the second with some of the actors. However, if you look on the special features of their respective disks, it only gives one commentary - the former, with the directors/producers. I would really like to see the second one for both Red and Rosetta. Where are they located? Or is the booklet just making a mistake?

Thanks for your help.

[BrentC007]

Off the top of my head, I think on the bottom of that menu screen there's either a "next" or "continue" button, highlight and click it and you should go to a second screen that gives you the option of listening to the cast commentary.

Hope this helps.. and if I'm wrong, maybe someone else can explain it better.

You might wanna also try just playing the episodes.. and then changing the audio track through your DVD remote.

[KALS SON]

I was wondering even though it is early and the episodes are still going but when do you think season 4 will be coming out?

you're right, but I think it's just an arrow > like that.

[smlvilleluva]

this is a random question about the dvd's. sometimes this happens and sometimes it doesn't: i watch one of the episodes with the commentary on, then i eject the disk, later or another time when i try to watch the episode again it is still playing the commentary (sometimes it's regular, though). how do i get the episode off of the commentary?

[Unhappy_tiger]

Wow, I feel kinda stupid now. :P Thanks so much for the help - there was indeed a little arrow thing at the bottom. And the Red commentary was hilarious - haven't watched the Rosetta one yet.

[BrentC007]

Play the episode and then change the audio track with the audio option on your remote control.

[smlvilleluva]

i would guess that season four will be out in the third week of november or there abouts. hopefully even earlier since they are all used to the routine by now.

[nightshadz]

I noticed as I was watching the Chloe Chronicles from seasons 2&3 dvds (which i had never seen before until yesterday and they were pretty sweet) there was a special feature for Gag Reels.

They were hysterical to watch and it kinda gives you an insider look into the filming. One thing that stood out was Lex and how he acted after scene messups. He was like a completely different person it almost felt like entering the twilight zone and seeing someone you've known for three years having multiple personality disorder. His outtakes were the funniest but it was still weird seeing him act...not lex....

Anyone else get this?

[tw190]

Yeah I know. In the season two gag reel I like how his cell phone goes off and he's like, "Is that really me? I'm sorry, it's never happened before, excuse me..." Lol, it was funny!

I did! I loved them.

[KALS SON]

The season 2 gag reel was the funniest one out of the three.

[Lex33.1]

Who has all 3 smallville dvd season sets in Mint Condition since they first got them?

just wondering

posts are appreciated

[clarkoholic]

lol...I DO! I protect them!

One of my friends wanted to borrow them....I listed off rules of what to do and what not to do....

lol...another friend wanted to borrow them too and I didn't exactly trust him to keep them safe....so I took the disks out and put them in cd cases to let him borrow!!

lol...is that bad?? LOL

[tw190]

Well, I do, and they are an excellent condition. Not sure about mint though, but good.

Do you wear gloves when you take them out?

[nightshadz]

I built a lego machine with cotton swab fingertips which automatically take the dvd out of the holder and places it into my dvd player.

[LilWonderWoman]

Hey Guys!!! i just got my season 3 dvd today!!! for a christmad gift.

i really wasnt feeling seasons 1 or 2 BUT i loved season three so my bro bought it for me. since there are 41 pgs, can anyone give me in a nut shell any special things i should check out, i saw the gag reel prety funny

[MarkAllan22]

I got season 3 on DVD for Christmas too today.

Which is good,since that's about where ABC Family stopped off last month, so I haven't seen these eisodes yet.

I'll have to get Season 1 and 2 soon.

[jparagele]

that is way cool

[Andie]

I got season 3 for Christmas I may get Season 1 for my birthday. Season 2 was not my favorite so why bother, I'am itching for Season 4.

[lilo]

I got season 2 (my favorite) for Christmas. I'll eventually get S1 and S3.

[Randy G.]

Lol! I liked the S3 Gag reel where Mike Rosenbaum farted.
Ha ha ha! :lol:

[lilo]

I have an important question for those of you who have the S2 dvds. Where exactly is the "Red" commentary with TW, KK, Mr and Beeman located? In the booklet it says it's on the first disc, yet when I click on "features" for that disc all that's listed is the AlMiles/Loeb commentary. Does it come up after the episode or something? I find it weird that it's not even listed.

[damaris_solis25]

there is a little arrow at the bottom which will take you to the other features including the commentary of with TW KK MR & Beeman

[mike1977]

Well, I guess it's possible to have season 4 episodes being released slowly in volumes, but it's cheaper to just wait for a boxed set.

[BrentC007]

Nah, they didn't do volumes of the past seasons.. why start now?

Season 4 won't be out until late 2005/early 2006.

[Zungas]

I was wondering who will replace Pete on the Season 4 dvd? Will it be Lionel or Jason on the disc?

[BrentC007]

I'd make more sense for it to be Lionel replacing Pete on the fourth disc.. but who knows.

As for commentaries.. I posted this before, but I'll do it again.. Tom Welling and John Glover must do commentary on "Transference". And add Rosenbaum in there too since he always adds alot of fun to the commentary tracks he's done :D

[clarkoholic]

TOTALLY agree!! Transference was the best!! Man...that'd be one awesome commentary!!

[smlvilleluva]

this is not a spoiler because there has been no mention of this but... if jason were to go away by the end of the season (which i doubt) then he probably wouldn't be on the disc. i would definitely like to see lionel on the dvds because he has been doing such an amazing job and for such a long time.

[clarkoholic]

yeah its only fair to pick lionel over jason! I mean lionel has been on the show since day one....it'd be silly to put jason

[smlvilleluva]

nice avatar

[LanaandPete]

Eric was never on the season 1 disc, cause he lasted one season. So if Jensen goes byebye at the end of season 4, then no disc for him.

Hell, they may even replace Pete with Lois.

[smlvilleluva]

hopefully

[clarkoholic]

smlvilleluva- Thanks (about the avatar)...gotta love Kal!!

I doubt they'd put Lois on the disc...she's not even in the opening credits...

My final guess....The MB himself...Lionel Luthor!!

ps. MB stands for Magnificent B*stard....for those of you who dont know. lol

[Run]

im getting s2 and s3...i cant wait for s4 to come out...ill get s1 sometime...

[BrentC007]

I'm hoping for the cover they'll use that publicity poster where it looks like Clark is flying and Lois is standing below.

[Zungas]

Waiting for the Chloe,Lana, and Lois cover :)

[pfb1969]

Hi Everyone...
I have been away from the boards for some time now. But had to come back! Its to great of a site not to. :)

I finally just ordered Season 3... and can't wait to watch them again. I am hoping they should be here some time within the next 2 weeks at the longest. I am really looking forward to checking out the new set with all the awesome extras they included! With Chloe being my favorite on Smallville I really can't wait to hear the AM commentary and the Chloe Chronicles. :D

To prepare myself for watching Season 3 again I decided to start watching Smallville from the begining this morning. So I am sitting here typing this as I watch the second episode from season 1. So I am now at the beginning of a major Smallville Marathon! :D

Pete

[Andie]

The cover will be Clark and Lois, Clark flying and Lois standing like in the poster.
I just hope it will have deleted scenes and gag reel.

I so loved the deleted scenes in season 3. The gag reel killed me. Michael is hilarious!

[pfb1969]

Cool... I always loved deleted scenes... and I believe it with the gag reel... he was a trip in the season 2 gag reel! I really can't wait! :D

Maybe they'll put Chloe on this cover too since they had Lana and Lex on Season 3.

[yeshuamyking7]

I finally picked up all three seasons on DVD! I'm still waiting on Season 1 to arrive, but I've really been enjoying Season 2, and I'm looking forward to Season 3. These are my first TV seasons on DVD, and I'm so glad I was able to get them. Now I can watch Smallville whenever I want. :)

[smlvilleluva]

anyone know what color this set will be? maybe green?

[yeshuamyking7]

Kryptonite Green would be great. I doubt anyone knows the color, though. The season hasn't even finished yet. It's still being written and filmed.

[Andie]

Chloe, Clark and Lois! hehehe, I hope they get a gag reel, I need to get season one.

[smlvilleluva]

if ED is anything like her character in real life than the gag reel comments would be hilarious.... add tom and michael to the mix and that is just pure enjoyment!

[Rafael122]

Hopefully, I can buy Season 1 on DVD on my next pay day. Circuit City has it for $50 bucks which is the exact same price if it were a video game or something. Best Buy has it for $55.

So I'm excited.

[BrentC007]

My local Target and Walmart had all three seasons for $44.99 each, so maybe you might want to check those places out in your area.

[smlvilleluva]

isn't amazon less?

[BrentC007]

Amazon has Season 1 and 2 for 44.99 and season 3 for 41.99

I was just letting him know about those other stores in case he didn't want to order online.

He said he was going to Circuit City, so I thought I'd try to help and see if he could get it for a better price :)

[smlvilleluva]

sorry i was accidentally responding to someone else... i thought that a different page was the last one.

[Rafael122]

Thanks Brent. Yeah, I think I'm going to Target then, this weekend. Circuit City is right there so I have another option.

[pfb1969]

Wow... not bad... I started my marathon on the 3rd... and on the next to the last episode right now... that is 2 seasons in basically 4 days!... and I was out of town most the day yesterday what with my daughter's doctor's appointment and shopping half the day away :p And to think I was worried I wouldn't get both seasons watched before season 3 would get here! :p I don't expect that till sometime the middle of next week.

[smlvilleluva]

nice job!! way to step it up! lol

[BrentC007]

Wow, awesome marathon :D

Now the real fun will be going back and rewatching either the whole show all over again or just your favorite episodes

[pfb1969]

LOL... thanks... well I finished up seasons 1 and 2... Now all I have to do is wait for season 3 to get here. It should be here some time next week. I ordered it at deepdiscountdvd.com and went with their free shipping... now I wish I paid a little extra to get it here sooner! :D

[clarkoholic]

My mom has just started getting into SV so her and I have been like having mini-marathon's. We'll watch like 4 to 6 epis a day! lol....almost there...

Then I just need to figure out a way to watch all the seas 4 epi's on my comp comfortably.. lol. Gotta have her ready by Jan 26th!!

[pfb1969]

from there wait for season 4 to come out... order it... and then have a marathon of the first 3 seasons while I wait for season 4 to get here... LOL... ok I am really getting ahead of myself.... think I better look into getting some help now! :p

[BrentC007]

[smlvilleluva]

haah!

[BrentC007]

Yeah, I got my mom and 13 year old brother into the show as well through the DVDs.

[clarkoholic]

i've gotten 2 friends hooded as well!! i'm not kidding, no matter who i show it to they want more! That's how good the show is!!

Yay for Smallville and DVDs!!

[smlvilleluva]

my sister is too young to like the show and my dad was obsessed with superman as a child (comics have been passed own in our family) so he watches and my mom (though she doesnt work) claims she doesnt have time for tv ... lol

[clarkoholic]

Originally posted by smlvilleluva

HAHAHA, My mom does the same thing!! not about tv, but she's always saying she's so busy and works so hard but she doesn't work a 'real' job! lol. Mom's are funny but they rock! lol

[pfb1969]

OMG!!! No Way!!!... Talk about perfect. I just finish the first and second seasons about a couple hours ago to get ready for season 3 dvds to get here... expecting them to get here some time next week... and what happens?... there is a package in my mailbox... it actually arrived today!!! :D WooHoo!!! My Smallville Marathon Continues!!! :D :rotfl:

LOL... Ok... now even you all have to admit... now I do need help! :p

[clarkoholic]

YAY for you!! I didn't even have the patients to order them...i had to go buy it the morning it came out!! lol i got up early and went before work! lol

[pfb1969]

Oh you don't know how bad I wanted to also!... but my brother kept dropping hints that he was getting it for me for Christmas that I had to be very careful not to get it before and stuff like that... only to end up not getting it. I was so upset! :mad: But thats ok... it was one of the first ones I ordered (seldomly buy dvds anywhere but online) as soon as I got paid again :D

[smlvilleluva]

to clarkoholic.. my whole family makes fun of her... she used to work and put me in daycare when i was 5 weeks because her job wouldnt allow her to be away, then when my sister was born she realized that she wanted to be a mom and do mom stuff lol. so now she just plans parties and stuff for neighborhood people and family friends and that is about the extent of her hardwork. lol. she laughs at herself, too, though- and the only show she watches is something on mtv- very strange.

[pfb1969]

Well... Finally done it now. I just finished the season 3 set... so I ended up watching the whole dvd collection (all 3 seasons) in only 6 days! Now that is what I call a fun week! :D

The season 3 set had some nice extras on it as well... I especially liked the commentary with 2 of my favorite actors... Allison Mack and John Glover... as well as the gag reel and Chloe Chronicles 2.... ok... ok... I loved it all! :p

Now I am all ready to see Smallville return to new episodes... but still such a long wait. :\

[clarkoholic]

Smlvilleluva - LOL. my mom kinda does the same thing. She's always painting or redecorating or building something on her house. She creates all these projocts for herself and says she's so busy! lol. Moms...

[superfan1010]

Just finished the third season in two days that was a Smallville weekend. Hope I can wait till the 26th for new shows. Oh yea I have. "Transference", "Run" and "Spell" on Video I can watch them now..
Is there anyone who know if thereareany hidden things on all three Seasons DVDs.. Any info just email it to me at superfan1010@yahoo.com Thanks Eric

[Rafael122]

Well, I bought Season 1 today at Circuit City. Target only had copies of Season 2 and Season 3 for $45 which isn't so bad. I ended up paying $5 at Circuit City. The store has a a boatload of copies of Smallville.

I just like to say, that the Pilot episode has about 3 deleted scenes that were not shown on television. I agree with what most of the people said here, it really takes away from the overall effect of the show when they cut scenes away.

[BrentC007]

Ahh, that reminds me when I bought Season 1 on DVD. I got it at Circuit City too. Best Buy had it advertised for $36.99, but they were sold out.. so I took the ad to CC.

Anyway, rewatching the first season on DVD is what made me a die-hard fan.

[truemeathead]

Dude I bought the 2nd season for 45 bucks and my wife got me the 1st season for xmas for 45 bucks, then one day a couple of weeks ago I walked into the indie record store-Zia Records and they had both of the seasons I had for 28 bucks brand new but of cource no 3rd season, I'm so going there to get season 3!

[Rafael122]

The only place to not buy it is FYE. They charge an arm and a leg for each season. I tried to buy Carnivale: Season 1 and it was $100! Unbelievable!

[smlvilleluva]

that is wayy overpriced...wow!

that is wayy overpriced...wow!

[Rafael122]

Yeah, they had Smallville at $69.99. I keep wondering to myself how is FYE in business when they have hundreds of other stores that will sell the Season for a cheaper price.

[smlvilleluva]

yea i don't get it either... pretty amazing what happens in our world

[Smallvillenews]

Release date for season 3 DVD set in the UK is revealed...... April 18th folks. :D

Check it out!

[mysteree]

Hey guys! For any Australians out there (hope this hasn't been posted already somewhere else), the second season of Smallville has just been released on dvd!!!!! Finally! It's about $80.

[Rafael122]

Has anyone noticed that Whitney on the back cover is a different Whitney that was on the show? It's on the back cover of Season 1. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me or something, but he looks different, if that's him.

[smlvilleluva]

the back of which season dvd and for which part of the globe.

[Rafael122]

Season 1, where they have the group photo. He's standing in between Chloe and Lex.

[smlvilleluva]

i'm going to look in one sec...

it is definitely eric... i think it just looks different because he is farther away.

[Rafael122]

I finished watching Season 1 today. Looking back at the season, from start to end, you can really see the development of the characters. Loved it, although I wish they had more special features.

[smlvilleluva]

the characters definitely do develop... especially looking at season one compared to season four. the special features is somehwat scarce on the first season dvd, you are right. however, it is only because it was the first dvd... the second, and third are much better. and hopefully season four's will be even better :)

[BrentC007]

What I always noticed about that picture is that it looks like Annette O'Toole was Photoshopped in. Maybe that cast photo was taken when they shot the first pilot with the other actress playing Martha.

[Rafael122]

You know, I've never noticed that. It's like she's looking at something else other than the camera.

By the way, John Schneider is jacked.

[smlvilleluva]

hey you are right... it does appear that way... i never even considered that. does anyone know when those pictures were originally released?

[clarksgirl]

i have all 3 seasons and love them...what a clifhanger on the season 3 finally.......O MY GOSH....... whens the season 4 comming out cuz i dont have the wb channel to see any of the new episodes....im dieing to know what happen after that finally!!!

[Rafael122]

Tough call, I'm willing to bet Season 4 comes out in October-November, around there, just in time for the Holidays.

[Andie]

F.Y.I is still in business? those people think dvds are made of gold, I buy all my dvds either in Circuit City or Best Buy.

I will be getting season one. I love love season 3! the gag reel killed me. I want the same for season 4.

[smlvilleluva]

im an amazon girl (one-day shipping :) )

[Andie]

Ah man I hope season 4 includes deleted scenes, behind the scenes and not to mention gag reel.

How can anyone work with Michael and keep a straight face? how can anyone be so serious on screen yet be a complete clown in real life!

[Rafael122]

I just saw the gag reel, funny funny stuff. I wish it had been longer since this one was only about 6 minutes long.

I've watched the entire fist disk two times already. For some reason Red, the Season Premiere, and Duplicity all stick out to me as really good episodes.

[smlvilleluva]

i think it would be cool to not only have a gag reel but to have a clumsy accidents reel.. showing scenes in which actors have tripped (like pete did) or where they fell on top of one another (like clark did on to chloe) and set music to it.

[Rafael122]

I think the one that caught me off guard was Rosenbaum farting. Huge one too, sounded wet. Anyway...

[smlvilleluva]

haha.. i like your "anyway..." remark.

[lex_4_president]

My first post ever-I was hooked on Smallville when ABC Family had a marathon of cast favorites on New Years Eve. I think the first episode I saw was Zero-and of course, I fell in love with Lex. Well, needless to say, I went out and bought all three seasons, and in the course of the last 3 weeks have proceeded to watch all the episodes, and now I am on my second viewing. I have been obsessed with Smallville, and primarily Lex and Clark's relationship. I have even foregone some of my regular shows just to watch Smallville. I was most impressed with "Shattered", "Asylum", and "Memoria". My only downfall is I have no idea what has happened the first half of season 4 (other than what I read on the episode recaps). I managed to catch a rerun of "Run" (I think it was called that-the one with the Flash-Bart). Other than that episode, WB has been playing season 3 reruns for the month of January. I am extremely excited for tomorrows new episode, I just hope I am not lost, and I cannot wait for the 4th season on DVD. I guess I'm a bandwagon fan...and proud of it!
I must also agree-the gag reels are my favorite bonus features, and I too was a little taken aback by Michael's flatulance...too bad season 1 didn't have as wonderful of special features (like no gag reel!). The commentaries are also very interesting to listen too. So far I've only heard two of them, and I enjoyed the one during "Exile". The other one I watched has Kristin also, but I think she said maybe 5 words the entire time...Michael Rosnebaum is great, he has a unique sense of humor...
I agree that a reel of "clumsy accidents" would be great to see too! It's nice to see the actors as people, not just their characters.

[smlvilleluva]

you know i wonder if watching the season all at once as opposed to watching it over a 3+ year period makes a difference in how one views the show.

[lex_4_president]

As one who watched all three seasons at once, I can say, that yes, it does make a difference. Because I had captured bits of epsiodes on TV. I recognized them when I watched the full episodes. But they didn't catch my attention back then. I think being able to watch them all, back to back, made me a huge fan, because I didn't have any time to analyze episodes in between weekly shows. Just my thought!

[smlvilleluva]

your thought was helpful. i wishi could see it from your perspective, it would be really interesting.

[MBCorp]

I've been watching Smallville since ABC Family first started airing it in the fall (I think it was in September?) and I think there's a big difference between watching a show over a three year period and watching it everyday like I've been doing. I tend to get more wrapped up in a show that I watch everyday, almost like a soap opera. I've become very hooked on SV and it will be sad when they show the final S3 episode. Watching the show everyday I tend to remember things better too and become more involved with the characters than I normally would if it was only shown once a week.


lex_4_president, the episodes that you picked as your favorites are my favorite episodes also!

[smlvilleluva]

*so excited because it is less than 24 hours away*
i think that there are some small things and jokes that it is hard to get from watching the season over a short period of time (such as 2 months) 4 or 6 i can understand. there are common jokes on the shows or other mannerisms that are hidden that one may not notice, but on the other hand they may notice them even more. another difference could be the age you see it. i've been watching smalville since its premiere, and i was in 8th grade. going back now i understand some of the sexual innuendos and other historical references that i didnt before. but i dont think that there is one right or wrong way to do it.

[lex_4_president]

You're right, there is no wrong, or right way...In the end, the story is still the same! Right now I am watching Velocity, and Clark just denied Pete some Hoops. So sad...I have to say, having watched all three seasons back to back, that season 3 was the best. Save for Pete leaving, I think that all the characters have at this poitn become their characters. Now I'll be watching Obsession to prepare myself for tomorrows new episode!

Thanks, MBCorp, I think Michael Rosenbaum is an amazing actor, and seeing his range impresses me! I think he has all the best episodes!

[smlvilleluva]

yea that velocity scene was sad. many people didn't really like that episode but i am glad that there are some of us who did.

[Andie]

I didn't like Velocity cause it was an occ with Pete, you saw Duplicity when he found out about Clark, how prefered to sacrifice himself than betray his friend.

That is why I hate this ep. I have yet to get season one and two. I hear season two has also a gag reel? I have to get it than.

Season 4 is a most, I love a tripping thingie as well.

[lex_4_president]

Velocity does portray Pete in a different light, but I think it helps to set up his leaving, and also proves that when a person is desperate, they will ask their friends for anything.
Season 2 has a great gag reel, the reel on season 3 has basically no mess ups from Tom Welling, or the rest of the cast. Most of the gag reel on season 3 is of Michael Rosenbaum-which is great cause he's hilarious, but it's nice to see all the actors will a little mistake here and there!

[Andie]

I'd wish the gag reel would had been longer did you check out the behind the scenes special? they recycle their sets!

[lex_4_president]

Yes-I did watch that behind the scenes-I love special features, so I hope season 4 has even more stuff-and a longer gag reel! I thought it was really interesting how the hospital hall is used in almost every scene that's not the barn, the house, or the Torch!

[smlvilleluva]

i think it would be cool if they had raw footage of a day in the life of tom, kristen, allison, and michael. and there would be footage of a camera crew following each of them around separately on a day when they weren't filming. this probably invades their privacy but i think it is similar to a gag reel in that it might show the actual actors' personalities.

[Rafael122]

I had a question. In Season 2, Ryan said he knew Martha's secret but she didn't want to tell Jonathan and Clark yet. Doctors found out Martha was pregnant when she breathed in some kryptonite gas.

My question is, was Martha pregnant before that or after? If not, then what was her secret?

[smlvilleluva]

martha was pregnant before the doctors found out. ryan knew but didn't tell anyone, thus the audience didnt know either. we only found out that martha was pregnant when jonathan and clark did/

[Rafael122]

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone feel warm and tingly inside when they hear that soft music after the episode is over?

[smlvilleluva]

hah yea, it depends though like the surroundings i am in when i watch it :)

[Tom's Chick]

does anyone kno when the 4th season is scheduled to come out on dvd???

how do u get to watch the behind the scenes special??? i have the dvd but i never saw that option...maybe i didnt look hard enough

[lex_4_president]

I would guess season 4 will come out around November (like season 3 last year). I wish it were sooner!!!!!!!

as for the behind the scenes, it's on Disc 5 from season 3.

[smlvilleluva]

question: how do you get the episode off of commentary mode once you have clicked it and watched the episode b/c sometimes i do that and then when i go back and try to watch it later or the same time without the commentary it still has it.

[lex_4_president]

Hmmmm........I don't know, because the commentary and the regular episodes are on different menu's, so unless you have a really fancy DVD player that does something I don't know about-it shouldn't go back to the Commentary, unless you have auto-resume, and you don't clear the DVD player memory before you watch the episode again...???

[smlvilleluva]

good point- i will try a different dvd player- thanks :)

[lex_4_president]

Sure thing :)

[ImzadiJedi]

I think the easiest way to turn off the commentary is to open and close the door on the dvd player then use the chapter button to get it back to where you were.

k thanks

[Tom's Chick]

i dont kno how to find easter eggs so anyone who reads this and knos any easter eggs for any of the season dvds.....please PM me cuz i would reely like to watch them....thanx

[smlvilleluva]

i pmed about it just to let you know

[yeshuamyking7]

Could you PM me, too, smlvilleluva? I'm really interested to know about easter eggs on the DVDs.

I'm not sure if anyone has discussed this before, but I really hope the cover of Season Four is more inclusive. Season's One and Two both featured Clark all by himself, and Season Three had Tom, Michael and Kristin. I'd like to see something with the entire cast, including Jensen Ackles and Erica Durance.

[smlvilleluva]

yea iwould love to see ED and JA on the cover as well- or on the back- i would like it if they chose in general a new back picture too.

[MBCorp]

I'd love it if the DVD front cover was just a big picture of Lex and the back cover a whole bunch of smaller pictures of Lex but that's just a selfish, personal wish of mine. :D

Seriously though, I would like to see the other characters on the front cover as well. Especially Chloe and Lionel since they've both been from the show from the beginning. I don't like S1 and S2 DVD covers since they are just Clark.

[Rafael122]

Season 1 and Season 2 dvds have easter eggs on them? WHERE?

[yeshuamyking7]

Chloe and Lionel should definitely both be on the cover, and so should Jonathan and Martha. If they use another Clark-only or Clark-Lex-Lana-only cover, I'll be really disappointed.

[MBCorp]

Yeah, they should definitely put Martha, Jonathan, Chloe, and Lionel on the cover along with the big three. And if there's room then they could put Lois and Jason too, or at least put them on the back.

[lex_4_president]

Just watched the commentary for Truth...pretty funny-John Glover is great and the interaction between him and Allison was fantastic on the commentary. I am hoping season 4 will have more commentary with the other cast members-though it is pointless for KK to be on the commentary-she never speaks unless asked a question (or if she laughs at TW or MR)!!! Anyway, I am loving the commentaries, and want more, more, more! I just wish there had been a commentary for Shattered...wishful thinking.

[MBCorp]

I'm going to get S3 on DVD. I'm glad it has cast commentaries on it, I'd love to hear Glover and Mack's commentary. I just have S1 on DVD though and unfortunately there's no cast commentary, just Al and Miles going on and on about how the corn on the show isn't real.

[Tom's Chick]

Yeah-compared to season 2 and 3, the season 1 DVD is seriously lacking...

[smlvilleluva]

i'd agree, but it was the first time they did such a thing so i understand it... i think that this seasons dvd and next seasons dvd and thus forth will make up for the other ones... what i would really like to see is a commentary now on an episode that was done a while back, like the pilot and tempest to hear how the actors/actresses think about it looking back

[uncsuperman]

man, i just got done watching eps 1-4 of season one

i had forgotten how refreshing and entertaining season one was

it's hard to believe for me that the shows in it's 4th year - wow time has flown by

we've come a long way in terms of story-lines and character development - i miss the early days though

[Zungas]

The pilot never gets old.

[uncsuperman]

everything was so light hearted back then - just finished watching "craving"

man i love that last scene

hey Zungas - where'd those pics of kristin come from that are in your avatar??
i'd like to get some full-sized versions

[smlvilleluva]

you're right... everything did seem so light, there weren't as many dark and ominous threats. most problems were solved within the very same episode that they were introduced.

[Batboy1984]

EDIT: Oops. I thought this thread was about last night's ep. Sorry. My bad. :(

[iluvtom13]

omg i know what u mean about bac then it bein so light hearted and sweet! i love watchin those over and over lol

[angelfire east]

That's why I like season one the most.

[MBCorp]

I like Season 3 the most. I like the dark and ominious atmosphere. :lol:

[uncsuperman]

i watched season 2, then season 3, now i'm going through the first season - i'm thru episode 8 or 9 i think

even season 3 was so much more coherent than what we're watching now - it's almost as if they've brought in a whole different writing team this year and said "make up some stories"

i know smallville has many many different writers...is that common??
it would seem to me to be nonsensical to have a lot of writers if you're creating a tv show - especially something as historical and story-driven as smallville

shouldn't there be like 2/3 writers all working together on every episode?

[Drew]

First couple seasons had a bad guy in every ep, and by the end, Clark would overcome them.

Only a small portion of the show was about the different character storylines and development. I noticed during the 3rd season they started to have less individual bad guys in each episode, and span out stories throughout many.

[Smllvlle08]

i know this is a lil earlier but does anyone know when the 4th season of smallville will come out on dvd?

[smallvillerox05]

Nope. Absolutely no one knows. :(

Hopefully soon! :)

[juanbobo808]

wouldn't it be cool if THIS (http://www.kryptonsite.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=30475&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) was the 4th season dvd cover?

[mario masta]

Yeah, I hope they release them shortly after the season finale, not all the way in November like they did with Season 3. :\

[smallvillerox05]

It will probably get an earlier release date than season 3 had becuase they'd didn't even finish season 2 until May. :)

[Smllvlle08]

i know it is extremely early, but season four has been so good that i have been wondering when will it come out on dvd? probably in september when season 5 starts? i don't know just wondering bout that. is there gona be a season 5 by the way?

[phoephoe]

They keep this updated because of how often its asked. It probably wont be until the end of the year or closer to the latter half.

[Disco]

yes... there will be a season 5
