The best part of this episode is that Clark gets some answers. The second best is the family discussion on whether or not Clark should meet Dr. Swann. The discovery on the computer, and the conversations that follow are also really great and pretty emotional. I would not miss this episode if I had any choice or say in it at all. The fact that Jonathan makes a concession and lets clark go (there's a pun in there)is kinda cool as well. The plot writing and dialog are of season 2's usual premium quality; something sorely missing in season 3.
This is a strong, charged episode emotionally and one which delivers a strong link to the movies. I'm referring to the fact that Krypton was destroyed and that he is Kal-el and quite possibly the only one of his kind on earth. The fact that Christopher Reeve was in this episode meant nothing to me: I hadn't seen the movies yet. Still he puts out a strong performance as well and should certainly be mentioned.
(Lex's search for answers is a side story in this episode but still important in the over all arc.) over all I think this is a 9 out of 10 but that's just because I have to be seriously im-pressed for it to be a 10.
