When Clark just read Swann's (Christopher Reeve's) message ("I am a friend"), I completely got goose-bumps! This show kicks ass!

One problem for me was the scene where Clark was 'writing' on the wall...
He had two beams of fire coming out of his eyes in different directions. From what I've observed, those beams should be straight as if to point at what Clark is looking at... these were not. That means his eyes were spinning all over the place and should have left excess burns all over the barn.
Imagine Clark goin' all goofy eyed...

really good job of utilizing Reeve, and was nice to hear him be the one to speak the words of jor-el...a really nice way to pass the torch.
- didn't see any credit for the Williams musical snatches.
if/when this series ever comes out on dvd, i actually hope they do best of's in addition to box sets.
so much of this series seems to be formula and freak of the week filler, but once every 3 or 4 shows they do something that does the best incarnations of this character proud- like tonight.

I watched this episode and moreso than any episode I started screaming at all the people in Clark's life. Why? They're friggin idiots!!! A slow duck could piece together that Clark is more than human with all the evidence flying around.
Dramatic tension is one thing....enough evidence to put OJ Simpson in prison with a jury of twelve middle aged black men is another.

... was anyone else perplexed by the dial in connection that Clark's barn has, the speed at shich they dial in to the ISP, and how his friend keeps his email program and addresses on his machine...?
Other than that and my post above...

Christopher Reeve was great, and hearing John Williams' score from the film was classic!
I really dug the twist at the end in reference to Clark's (Kor-el's) destiny and the reason that he was sent to the third rock from the sun.

One of the best episodes of the season, with the scenes between Clark and his parents very much like...well, the Smallville scenes from Superman: The Movie. Utilizing John Williams' Superman fanfare (particularly the moment when it focused on a close-up of Reeve before the commercial break) and Krypton motifs really added a special touch.
And of course, they had to feature yet another guy that comes very close to finding out too much about Clark and he ends up being put out of commission, with Lex even more determined to get to the truth. At least they did something different with Lana and Chloe this time around.
I also enjoyed the twist at the end when Clark, who was at first hesitant about finding more about his past, came to the dawning realization he was on Earth for another reason altogether.
That was very funny.

Can't say enough praise about the episode that people haven't already said. Even if that wasn't The Best episode, that definitely is my Favorite episode right now.
And the music from the movies....man, oh man oh man. I thought they only did the main theme bit...but then that establishing shot of the barn with the Krypton theme....WOW...

Wow!
The ep was so good my wife did not want to get up tuck my boy in bed until the next break (I had already tucked him in at the 1st break).
My VRC died and this show makes me want to go buy a DVD Recorder instead of another VCR.
I felt like I was watching a mini movie on TV, not a TV series.
1. Clark floating/flying in his dream was awesome
2. Reading Krypton
3. I say the Doctor will turn into Brainiac in a future show
4. Christopher Reeves
5. Clark Finding out about where he came from
6. I think Marlon Brando said the line about a God amoung men, or something like that in Superman The Movie
7. The music sent a thrill thoughout my whole body
8. Both actors giving the message at the end
My wife said I was like a kid watching the show.
WB is handling the show with lots of respect to the Man of Steel and to his fans around the world.

I enjoyed the episode but they should have had Dean Cain on as well.
Cool scenes withClark and his Parents, the things that occured in the cave and of course Christopher Reeve
I thought it was great that they got to use the John Williams music too. Great touch!
A couple questions, dont Chloe and Lana have anything ever to do other than oogle over Clark?
Are there any other guys in Smallsville or are his dimples just to irresistible?
Also, doesnt Lex have anything better to do than chase after what Clark is all the time. I am beginning to think he has a crush on Clark like the girls.
Now I know what all that slash writing is based on.
I cant wait for the episode where he conquers all of earth. That will be the two part episode where he gets to Bush and stops an impending war.
I dont know, I think they should let Tom Weiling be the next Big Screen Superman. Hes got all it takes.
