Yes, it’s cool they got Christopher Reeve to guest star on “Smallville.” But will the Reeve character’s revelations even cooler?
TV Guide says:
“Christopher Reeve returns to the Superman saga as a scientist with information about Clark's otherworldly origins. Reeve, who played the superhero in four theatrical releases in the 1970s and '80s, stars as Dr. Virgil Swann, a rich and reclusive physicist with an interest in extraterrestrial beings. The intrigued Swann asks Clark (Tom Welling) to meet with him after he sees a newspaper photograph of a Kryptonian symbol burned into the side of the Kents' farmhouse. ‘Every hero needs a wise man [to counsel him],’ says co-executive producer Al Gough, describing Reeve's character. ‘It's sort of a passing of the torch from one generation of Superman to the next.’”
Kryptosite.com’s Craig Byrne gives the episode a rave:
“‘Rosetta’ is an enjoyable ride from start to finish a story about what Superman was like as a teen. The character of *Clark Kent* is the true star of ‘Rosetta,’ and Tom Welling puts forth what may be his best performance in the role to date.”
