This is a great gift to anyone who likes the series. Personally I give the story a 8/10 but I'm sure the 9th season will change my mind. :)

Leading up to this season, Smallville was more "earthbound," in that it really was about a teenager with developing superpowers with only mere glimpses into his true heritage.
Season Five changed the tone of the series forever.
I always viewed this season as the mythology turning point for the series. Huge things happen and we're suddenly thrust from those Twilight Zone-oriented episodes into the DC Comics Universe; things shifted from a "superboy" to Superman.
Significant events go down this season, including the emergence of a certain location and the death of a certain loved one. We're also introduced to a couple more characters from DC Comics continuity.
For me, this was the season where the show grew up and strolled down the Superman road with purpose instead of by happenstance. (Those who've seen the show know what I mean.)
The only thing that irked me about this season and going into the next was the whole Clark and Lana thing was getting played out and it seemed the romantic subplot of the show was going in circles instead of officially stating, "Let's get these guys together for real and keep it that way." But, as per usual TV show fashion, something always has to happen to drive the couple apart. Though romantic tension is good up to a point, Smallville set the bar high in terms of driving the audience nuts--even to the point of bad-TV frustration--with the Clark and Lana relationship. Sometimes we as viewers just want to see things work out, you know?
Other than that, good times to be had in Season Five of Smallville.
Recommended.

Smallville Season 5 continues its history of strong storylines and character development. High School is over and many of the Smallville Crows are flying off to college. That's not the only change in the air, as Jonathan Kent takes a new roll, Clark makes a decision he is forced to live with, and planet Earth must face the wrath of the Kryptonian known as Zod.
The thing that makes the show enjoyable is its nudge/wink to the audience as bits and pieces of the Superman mythos find its way into the story. This season's EXPOSED takes the appreciation one step further as John Schneider and former-Dukes of Hazard star Tom Wopat are reunited. The writers did a top notch job of working some fun references into the show for fans of the "good old boys".
FRAGILE is another excellent episode from the season as Clark cares for a young girl with second generation "meteor powers". Is she behind the death of not only her foster mother, but her birth mother as well ?
Season 5 is not without its questionable moments, however. The Saw-ripoff, MERCY, walks Lionel Luthor through a series of "games". The would-be killer wears a mask, ala Jigsaw, and presents puzzles with potentially deadly consequences. Midway through the episode Martha Kent gets caught up in the web.
AQUA and CYBORG keep injecting the "super" into the show this season, and the touching LEXMAS gives us something for everyone to enjoy. All in all, this purchase is a no-brainer for fans of both Superman and Smallville. But be warned... the season finale holds a cliffhanger placed by those dastardly villains - the writers ! You may just want to add Season 6 to your shopping cart now.
