The six-disc set contains all 22 episodes from last season and a whole lot of other extras.

Clark Kent's league of justice-minded friends grows in "Smallville: Season Six,” in which Clark tracks down villains and searches for the secret behind Lex Luthor's 33.1 program.

As Clark (Tom Welling) returns from the Phantom Zone, the other-dimensional prison created by his Kryptonian father, Jor-El, several superpowered villains escape. Clark sees it as his duty to track these villains down, before they can menace Earth, and before Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) can discover the secrets of the villains' super abilities.

Guest-star Lynda Carter portrays the mother of Clark's friend Chloe (Alison Mack) in "Progeny.”

Also arriving in Smallville this season is the dapper Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley), who holds a secret: He's also the vigilante Green Arrow, and he's out to shut down Lex's unethical experiments.

Returning this season and working with Green Arrow: the partially mechanical Cyborg (Lee Thompson Young), the super-fast Impulse (Kyle Gallner) and the seafaring Aquaman (Alan Ritchson). Also aiding Clark this season is comic-book mainstay Martian Manhunter (Phil Morris).

The Smallville gang go black-and-white — and offer a look at Welling in more classic Clark Kent attire — in "Noir,” featuring a 1940s send-up of the "Smallville” characters.

Extras include a look at the comic-book Green Arrow and promotional Web episodes.

On The Content: There's some good and some bad here. The good, which is really good, is that there are multiple extra featurettes that I really enjoyed. A documentary on the history of Green Arrow contains interviews with such luminaries as Denny O'Neil, the still-very-alive-no-matter-what-another-review-says Neal Adams, and Silent Bob himself, Kevin Smith, among others. The "Justice & Doom" content wraps are on the DVD, as is the animated "Oliver Queen Chronicles" series that was created for Sprint phones earlier this year.

Kryptonsite.com On The Episodes: I am happy to say that as far as the episodes go, this box set doesn't disappoint. I've said this before in past season DVD reviews; Smallville is almost a better show on its second viewing, because you know in advance if something's coming up that you may not like. If you don't want to get squicked by Lexana sex after the costume ball, you can fast forward it. If you hate Chloe's tear (I didn't mind it, fyi), you can just jump to the next scene.

Kryptonsite.com On The Final Verdict: I liked this set although I was really disappointed by the whole no-commentary thing. The commentary is something we all look forward to every year, so it feels like a cheat not to have it. However, it was fun to be involved with one of the set's bonus features and see some of the show's other "Ultimate Fans," and like I said, I do think people will enjoy what they see here. Reaction was mixed when Season Six airs, but if you give it another chance, I think you'll find some really good shows. Despite the commentary thing, I'd still recommend buying this set.
