Series overview
Smallville season one poster.Season 1 saw the introduction
of the cast and storylines, including the introduction of
a villain (or outcast classmate) deriving a power from kryptonite
exposure and appearing in only one episode, in a plot device
that becomes known as the "freak of the week".
Season 2 has fewer "freaks of the week" episodes,
focusing more on character development and relationship building.
Several key plot points include Lex becoming more entangled
in conflict with his father, Chloe digging into Clark's past
while dealing with Lionel, Martha and Jonathan Kent's financial
troubles, and Lana and Clark's vacillating relationship though
they end the season apart. The main story arc, however, focuses
on Clark's discovery of his Kryptonian origins. The disembodied
voice of Clark's biological father Jor-El is introduced, communicating
to Clark via his space ship, setting the stage for plots involving
the fulfillment of Clark's earthly destiny. Christopher Reeve,
who portrayed Superman in the 1970s and 1980s film series,
appears as Dr. Virgil Swann to provide Welling's Clark with
information regarding his heritage.
Season 3 focuses on further character development, loyalty,
betrayal, and new revelations involving Jor-El. Early in the
season, Michael McKean, Annette O'Toole's real-life husband,
portrays Clark's future Daily Planet editor Perry White; from
this point on, other characters present in the Superman mythos
and the DC Universe are introduced to Smallville. Pete Ross'
inability to deal with keeping Clark's secret causes him to
move to Wichita, Kansas with his mother after his parents'
divorce. As of early 2007, Sam Jones has not made any return
appearances as Pete Ross.
Season 4 ventures further into the Superman mythos by creating
a story arc that runs the length of the season; it involved
Clark seeking out three Kryptonian stones (at the instruction
of Jor-El) apparently containing the knowledge of the universe.
The majority of this season revolves around Lex trying to
rekindle a strained friendship with Clark, Lana dating Jason
Teague (Jensen Ackles), a young man she meets in France, Clark
and numerous other characters vying with one another in attempts
to obtain the stones, and Lionel's ambiguous transformation
into a good father and person. This season also introduced
Lois Lane (Erica Durance) as Chloe Sullivan's (Allison Mack)
cousin and the Flash.
Season 5 introduces several elements of the Superman mythos,
including Jonathan Kent's death, the Fortress of Solitude,
the Phantom Zone, and Zod. The villain Brainiac, in the guise
of Professor Milton Fine (James Marsters), becomes a recurring
antagonist. The season's central plot revolves around Clark
using the knowledge contained in the Fortress of Solitude
to train for an impending doom that will befall Earth: the
release of Zod from the Phantom Zone due to Fine's machinations.
Clark and Lana finally begin a relationship with one another.
As with Season 4, season 5 featured a gradually unveiling
storyline in conjunction with multiple minor story arcs running
in parallel, mid-season and season finale cliffhangers, and
cameos from two other notable DC characters, Aquaman and Cyborg.
Season 6 took Clark inside the Phantom Zone, inhabited by
a society of exiled criminals from the "28 known galaxies".
The destinies of Lionel and Lex play out in the aftermath
of Lex's possession by Zod and Lionel's adoption as the "oracle"
of Jor-El. Several prisoners escape the Phantom Zone with
Clark. DC Comics characters Jimmy Olsen, Oliver Queen (and
his superhero alias Green Arrow) and Martian Manhunter are
introduced this season, and many of them unite in Smallville
to fight a common threat. Clark appears more prepared to accept
the greater responsibility and destiny in store for him, by
promising to continue his training, at the Fortress of Solitude,
once all the escaped Phantom Zone criminals are either returned
or destroyed. One of the key storylines involves Lana's pregnancy,
and her marriage to Lex.
