Smallville: 217 TV episodes in this catalogue. The Essentials keeps 66 episodes (30% of the catalogue).

Paths

The Essentials

The freak-of-the-week format dominates the early seasons and thins out as the Kryptonian mythology takes over, so most of what comes out is front-loaded. Drawn from published episode guides which disagree with each other in several seasons; those conflicts were resolved by judgement, not by consensus.

Where the story lives

Featured story guides use sourced editorial selections. Other arcs follow this mapping method: Arc membership is derived from each episode's own summary text, gated to the seasons the sources place each arc in. It shows where a thread is foregrounded, not every episode it touches.
