Review: Smallville 511 – 522
Pretty much a tradition by now, while some major things have happened during the season, they save the best for last, and of course, the beginning. In a sense, if you’ve already figured this out, it lived up to its expectation. This somehow creates an artificial and contrived atmosphere (especially during those low days in the middle of the season), where you’re almost apathetic to most events, only suddenly waking up from a slumber when the b-story, the story arch which is the reason you actually tuned in for, continues, although with certain amount of stuttering.
With the WB combing powers with UPN next season, let’s hope they can manage to up the quaility of the whole season instead of only the few strategically placed episodes.
