What that does is transform him from the goodie two-shoes
Lana-loving lad into a fiery party-boy without a care in the
world.
The only person who can bring Clark back – excuse the
pun – ‘down to earth’ is his eternally accommodating
pop Jonathan (John Schneider), but this time, old man Kent
needs a helping hand.
Clark’s biological father, Jor-El (voiced by Terence
Stamp), makes a sneaky trade with Kent in exchange for some
temporary super powers (you’ll discover what Kent bartered
with later on). With his new strength, Jonathan heads to Metropolis
to bring home his hellraising son.
Meantime, we get to see how Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum)
gets out of that plane that’s pilotless, and whether
or not it ultimately aids in his impending hospitalisation.
Other surprises in store for Season 3 include a surprise
visit from future Daily Planet editor Perry White (guest star
Michael McKean), a strange new boyfriend for Lana Lang, a
new power for Kal-El, and we say goodbye to Clark’s best
bud, Pete Ross.
Whilst most teenage series seem to lose a bit of gas with
each season, the Warner Bros 'Smallville' only seems to get
better with age. Here’s hoping it soars for a few years
yet: another worthwhile addition to the DVD library.
DVD Extras
Extras in the Box Set include both informative and amusing
commentaries from cast and crew (Rosenbaum’s track is
a highlight), a blooper reel (always a treat with the 'Smallville'
sets), an easter egg featuring Rosenbaum playing interviewer,
some more ‘Chloe Chronicles’, an interactive comic
book, a featurette on the gang behind the scenes and a selection
of deleted scenes.
Conclusion: Movie 75% Extras: 70%
