Smallville: Arrival (2005)
Episode 1, Season 5
The most epic season premiere in TV series history
6 October 2022 - 5 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Smallville was at its peak in 2005 thanks to a fourth season that introduced new characters and was probably the show's best "high school" season. However, if the series continued with the same structure, it would get repetitive and boring. Arrival begins with one of the most epic scenes of the season, the emergence of the fortress of solitude. The effects are amazing and surprising for a 2000s TV episode. Right after that, we have a show of acting, dialogue, special effects and soundtrack. Later on, we noticed that the series matured in terms of plot and structure as a villain for each season. All of these factors culminated in one of the best made episodes of the series.
