Do It To Me One More Time
As soon as Smallville wrapped up its series run in late May, I started re-watching the show on DVD. As most of you may know, I've had a love-hate relationship with the show the last few years. I was so hyped to get caught up on DVD then watch the show live. However, when I got to watching the super series "live," it took on a whole new excruating spot on my weekly TV line-up. The CW did the show an inustice by putting weeks, sometimes months, between new episodes. I would lose track of major plot lines, but even more devasting was the face that I lost interest. Re-watching the show I'm enjoying it even more than I remembered. I'm on season 6 (pretty good for starting the last week of May)--the writer's strike season--and I don't remember enjoying seasons 4 and 5 the first time around as much as I did this second time. I think when I get to re-watch seasons 7-10, I'll appreciate them even more, too. And, thus leads us to today's quandary...
Do I buy the complete Smallville series when it comes out on November 29 (hmmm...someone's 9th wedding anniversary...)?
PROS:
- I'll have a stunning complete boxed set, but akin to my stunning complete boxed set of Gibson-Gibley Girls.
- The extras in the set are soooo pretty.
- I don't have seasons 8-10 on DVD.
- I could sell season 1-7 used to try to make a little coin to go toward the new shiny set.
- There's an awesome 90 minute featurette spanning the entire series with cast interviews.
CONS:
- IT'S NOT AVAILABLE ON BLU-RAY.
- I already have seasons 1-7.
- The cover art for season 10 is hella better than the complete series art.

That's tough, but I say if you can find a poster of the season 10 artwork, then I think it would be worth it to have the series box set. Sell your 1-7 seasons and put it towards the big one. Sounds like the extras would be worth it...and that's not always the case w/ DVD lately. That used to be such a big thing when DVDs first came out, but now it seems you have to pay extra for a DVD with features. BOO!!!
