Purpose of Edit:
I set out originally to tell the first 4 Season's in one movie. Not surprisingly I found there was too much for me to tell in one movie. So I took from Seasons 1 and 2. This edit focuses on Clark's developing his ability's, and exploring his kryptonian roots while in direct conflict with his desire to be normal. Like "A New Hope" This is very story heavy and action lite, BUT it does set up the story for the following episode. That being said it still keeps all the things we loved about Smallville and trims the fat down.
Cutlist:
Far to many cuts to list, Most of season 2 was cut to the bare bones. Both seasons have had the freak of the weeks removed from the story. Scene's from theses episodes have been used to flesh out story archs and what not.
Where possible any cut that could be make in a scene to make Lex seem darker was. Lex comes across much more sinister and manipulative. He still is very "friendly" around Clark but is hiding much more from him than he was normally in this part of the original time line.
Lana has been cut to next to none. She is still there as more of a guest star and back up role.
