Smallville Season Ten

SCORE: 61

Smallville has finally completed. All of the dots to Superman have finally been connected. Clark is fully in Metropolis. Plenty of guests return for the last season of Smallville. I for one am glad it is done. This show has flounders in the past couple of years. How they bring back so many characters is a little odd in my opinion. How others get killed off is weird as well.

Smallville Season Ten continues with many of the trappings of previous seasons. There is blood, gore, violence, enticement to lust, greed, anger and more. The Darkseid special effects are exceptional. As is Hawkman flying to his death. Sorry for that spoiler.

I really do not comprehend why there is bad language in Smallville Season Ten. Its like dragging the Superman mantra through the gutter. The music is okay in Smallville Season Ten. I have grown sick and tired of the theme song. I did notice some well known Superman music being thrown in near the end.

We had all of these seasons of Clark not wanting to fulfill his destiny, and Jor-El being a thorn in Clarks side. All of a sudden in Smallville Season Ten that reverses. Lana Lang is totally forgotten about and Lois and Clark are all lovey dovey. Smallville Season Ten feels like they had to finally reverse previous mistakes and they did so. But they do not address why things were instantly reversed.

Tess turns out to be a Luthor but helps out the good guys. Lex is brought back, but has his memory wiped at the last minute. Green Arrow is turned to the dark side, but is saved miraculously by Clark. Chloe is dead again, but actually alive. The constant reversals in Smallville Season Ten will make your head spin.

One of the really sad parts of Smallville Season Ten is how people of faith are attacked. People of faith are attacked, and Superman is the false idol they choose to worship. Conservatives, especially talk show hosts are demonized, as are traditional values. Smallville Season Ten contributes to those who view sex as a cheap and little thing. Even marriage is attacked in Smallville Season Ten.

Smallville Season Ten goes out with a bang. For some reason it always has to end with Darkseid. The best conversation in the show is when Clark and Lex meet near the end. Lex has his witty lines which remind of us how much the show missed without him. Hawkman loves to preach his religious beliefs, and there is no tolerance of the Christian worldview in Smallville Season Ten. Clark offers them hope. Booster Gold is one stand out shining point of this show.
