Season Two introduces Clark to a new ability, to new clues
about his past, to the meeting of a true legend, a friend to the secret and
much more. This season is one of the best, start to finish, with season-long
story arcs and amazing special effects that surpass anything in the previous
year. I recommend you watch these episodes listed below if you haven’t already
and you’ll agree that season two is spectacular.
5. Vortex
This season picks up
exactly where the last one ended; Clark valiantly rushes into a large tornado
to save Lana. Clark and Lex then work together to find the missing Jonathan
Kent and a reporter threatening to reveal Clark’s secret. The action at the
beginning was cool, with Clark and Lana inside her truck, being whipped around
inside the tornado. Vortex is one of those episodes that wouldn’t appear to
stand out from the rest, but that’s because it was a ”classic Smallville
episode”, which deserves a spot among the top 5.
Favorite Moment: When Clark saves Lana from the giant tornado, of coarse.
4. Insurgence
Clark Kent, afraid of
heights? Yes, its true, but Clark soon has to overcome his fear when he is
forced to make an incredible leap from the top of the Daily Planet building to
LuthorCorp in order to save his mother and Lionel Luthor, currently held
hostage in Lionel’s office. It’s a good hostage story with many mysteries
surrounding why the thieves are there and what Lionel’s involvement with them
is, and watching Clark try on several accounts to enter the building and
eventually make the leap was very exciting. It is normally the best moments of
the show when Clark learns a new ability or puts his current abilities to the
test, like he did in this episode.
Favorite Moment: Clark leaps across the street from the Daily Planet and just
barely makes it through a window of LuthorCorp.
3. Exodus
In the season finale
Clark has an interesting conversation with his biological father, Jor-el, via
the spaceship that brought him to Earth. Jor-el tells him that unless he does
what he says and fulfils his destiny, then those closest to him will be in
danger. So instead of doing the responsible thing or just listen to his father,
Clark takes a kryptonite key and inserts it into the ship, destroying it and
causes a large shockwave that hits Jonathan and Martha Kent and killing the
baby (oh, did I mention Martha’s pregnant at this point?). Clark’s parents feel
he is partially responsible for the baby’s death and feel he made a very bad
decision. Clark, stricken with guilt, uses red kryptonite and flees Smallville
and heads for Metropolis.
Favorite Moment: The visual effects of the kryptonite effecting Clark and
the spaceship exploding were great. One of the best moments of the season.
2. Suspect
Everyone loves a good murder
mystery, who done it story and I’m thankful Smallville successfully created a
good one. After Lionel Luthor is shot in his mansion, Jonathan Kent is framed
for the assault, but as the episode progresses more suspects arise and Clark
and Pete investigate the clues, risking their lives but eventually solving the
mystery and clearing his father’s name. There haven’t been too many smart,
thrilling, mysterious episodes like this one, which is why Suspect is so unique
and one of the best of the season.
Favorite Moment: Clark and Pete are getting close to discovering who tried
to kill Lionel, so a sniper shoots Pete’s car after it’s run off the road, and
Clark saves Pete by rushing him out of the car as it explodes right behind
them.
1. Rosetta
Most great episodes
feature great guest stars playing great characters, and Rosetta may be one of
the greatest, most toughing stories of the entire series. Christopher Reeve
guest stars as Dr. Virgil Swann, a scientist who has discovered hidden messages
from Krypton and after he contacts Clark, they meet and Clark soon discovers
more about his home planet. Rosetta contains so many great moments, some of
which dive into Clark’s origin and give us sneak peeks at what’s to come in
future episodes, and it also guest starred a legend.
Favorite Moment: The meeting of Clark and Dr. Swann (Reeve and Welling) represented
almost a passing of the torch from one Superman to another.
