Product Description
There's a new reporter at the Daily Planet: Clark Kent, who shares a workspace with Lois Lane. There's a new hero in Metropolis, too. No one knows who he is. But Jimmy Olsen was on the scene of one of the do-gooder's exploits, and he snapped a blurred photo of the hero in superspeed action - a hero everyone now calls the Red-Blue Blur. Red-jacketed, blue-shirted Clark Kent draws closer to his Superman destiny in the exciting 22-episode, 6-disc Season 8 of Smallville. Another Kryptonian destiny also takes shape. Davis Bloome begins to realize he is Doomsday. His mission on Earth: kill Clark Kent. So many new events (will Jimmy and Chloe's marriage last?), so many new faces (Tess Mercer, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy among them!), so many state-of-the-art effects - so don't miss a single thrill-packed moment!

Another great season,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season (DVD)
Season 8 of Smallville is another solid entry to the show. It continues the trend that started in season 5 of a more mature tone and serialized format. This season is the first where Clark begins to accept his destiny of being a hero and it is great. Some new characters are brought in this season like Tess, who replaces Lex Luthor, and while she is not as interesting she does a respectable job. Davis Bloome is brought in as a paradmedic with a dark secret, and while they make things pretty obvious his character arc is interesting.If you've been watching Smallville from the beginning you should absolutely keep watching

Thought This Season was Doomed--I Was Wrong!,
By
This review is from: Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season (DVD)
If any one season of Smallville made me feel like I was deeply immersed in Superman mythology and was watching a true, live-action version of a DC comic book, Season Eight was it.Not only is Clark Kent and Lois Lane working at the Daily Planet, but Doomsday, the monster that killed Superman in the comics, is the over-arcing plot this season. He comes in the form of Davis Bloom whom, we learn, experiences these mysterious blackouts as he transforms into the Kryptonian beast and murders anyone that crosses his path. To make matters worse, Davis has a soft spot for Chloe and despite her best intentions, giving in only sets off a chain of events that screws up her relationship with both him and Clark. Also introduced this season--and taking the place of Lex Luthor--is Tess Mercer. At first she's as loyal to the Luthor name as anyone, but when she learns what kind of a man Lex Luthor truly was, everything changes and we encounter a woman who is just as evil as her predecessor. I have to admit I was unsure how Smallville was going to work without Lana Lang and Lex Luthor as key characters, and for the first few episodes, the show did feel a little empty, but that was more than made up for with the breakneck pace the show took and the dark path it led its viewers down while creating the Doomsday saga. With Tess Mercer and Doomsday as the central villains, you forget all about Lex Luthor and instead try to read between the lines to see how he'll one day return as Clark's rightful foe, while watching Tess and Doomsday lead the world into destruction. I was really happy with how this season turned out after my initial skepticism. The episodes were great, the appearances of other DC alumni like Zatanna, Mazima, Jimmy Olsen, the Legion of Superheroes and more just made Season Eight fantastic. Like I always say, this show just keeps getting better and better and I cannot wait to see how everything pans out from here on in. Too cool. Recommended. A.P. Fuchs
