Three posts in one night. I’m on a roll.
So…Smallville Season 2. I watched 23 episodes (42 minutes each) over the Christmas holidays. 6 of those in one sitting. I love holidays.
What do I hate?
TV Shows on DVD. They are the devil. You can’t get away from them.
There should be the following label on TV Shows on DVD:
Do not even think of having a social life after watching a few episodes.
Anyhow, onto Season Two.
I enjoyed Season Two more than the first one. They introduced some more powers to Supes, as well as a chock load of origin story. I think I enjoy Smallville for the fact that I never read the Superman comics so I really didn’t know half the stuff they are talking about, and I sure don’t remember it coming up in Lois and Clark. However, I’m taking it with a grain of salt as I heard they don’t stick to the story in some parts of the series.
I like how they went away from the X-Filesish stories of how the town brought out freaks, but focussed more on other unexplained phenomena. Also, I found Lex had less of a role in this season, but there was more of Lionel Luthor. I’ve watched the season premiere of Season 3 and I think I like what they are doing with Lex. They gotta make him bad sometime soon.
Two thumbs up.

Like you are hooked on Smallville. We are hooked on 24. So far we have completed season 3. When we were boxing day shopping, I saw season 4 for sale at hmv for about $65, but I didn’t get it. Seemed like a lot.
We’ll probably end up renting them slowly from Rogers or Blockbuster. I believe that season 5 starts on TV sometime this month.
I definitly recommend it to anyone.
I, too, have heard many a great thing about 24. I still have to get into it.
You may want to look into doing what Joe does…
Go to zip.ca.
You pay a monthly fee for unlimited rentals of DVDs.
Then he burns them.
So all you need to do this is have a computer and a DVD burner.
Otherwise, it may still be worth it if you watch more than 4 movies a month.
