Smallville Season Four
SCORE: 63
When I say I plan on getting back to something I mean it. It was difficult for me to go back to Smallville Season Four, but I find it more important to keep my word. I have a goal of finishing off this series, and as long as God allows me breath I will keep working this franchise back into my schedule. Smallville Season Four takes some odd twists and turns.
Magic is introduced in Smallville Season Four. Lana gets possessed by a 14th century witch. Lionel Luther turns into a good guy (at least for a short time). Clark has to pay the price for not finding these powerful stones in time. It does not help matters that one is used to murder someone.
Sadly the normal issues persists, and are increased in Smallville Season Four. We have violence, blood, lack of modesty, enticement to lust, lies, deceit, and sex is shown as very cheap. There are a few moments here and there where sex is shown as important. Sadly they are not shown as important within marriage only. This just shows how far off the path of righteousness Hollywood has strayed.
Smallville Season Four has one of the most controversial two episode arcs as well. Alicia is brought back, and romance is rekindled between her and Clark. Lana is off with Jason - yes a little 90210 going on there. Anyways Alicia is a fantastic character that could have gone on for many more episodes to even years. Shockingly they killed her off. And then Clark goes right back to pining after Lana. Which was a real shame because an important opportunity was missed.
Families need to be aware of the high volume of witchcratch in Smallville Season Four. I honestly found it to be very shocking. Then tying it to Lana to make it more sympathetic was just sickening. Clark finds out in Smallville Season Four that he is vulnerable to magic. They even steal his powers in one episode. A little too easily for my tastes.
Lois
Lane comes to Smallville in this season. I know that has been
controversial in some circles as well. Her character is annoying, and
honestly rather pointless for most of the season. I wish they had kept
her out of the show, but that is a personal preference. Smallville
Season Four tries many new and different things - too many fall flat.
