My friend Denis and I both agree with your thoughts on this episode. We were discussing the very same topics ourselves and we're glad that you liked it as much as we did. Like you, we're dying to find out the contents of the Veritas Envelope and find out just what could be a threat to our favorite "traveler". We also wanted to let you know that we agree that the Veritas meeting really did work as the main story progression this episode. Having Swann's wheelchair in the episode didn't bother me as much as it seems to have bothered others. Reading your review, it makes me think that they could have done a much better job in presenting the memory of Christopher Reeve's character (not for the sake of Virgil Swann, but Crhistopher Reeve the person, our Superman). Can't wait for your next review and we're looking forward to reading your thoughts on BSG and Supernatural when they return. Take Care, Matt (Watchtower) Hey Tim,

Great review! My friend Denis and I both agree with your thoughts on this episode. We were discussing the very same topics ourselves and we’re glad that you liked it as much as we did.

Like you, we’re dying to find out the contents of the Veritas Envelope and find out just what could be a threat to our favorite “traveler”. We also wanted to let you know that we agree that the Veritas meeting really did work as the main story progression this episode.

Reading your review, it makes me think that they could have done a much better job in presenting the memory of Christopher Reeve’s character (not for the sake of Virgil Swann, but Crhistopher Reeve the person, our Superman).

Can’t wait for your next review and we’re looking forward to reading your thoughts on BSG and Supernatural when they return.

Take Care,
Matt (Watchtower)

The Jewish people have been and are still waiting for the messiah of the old testament to come and for these two young men to give their creation a messiah image is not far fetched. For Christians, Jesus is believed to be that messiah so for them to come to that conclusion is, again, not too far fetched.

Luckily it was an excellent episode despite all of the build up to it. This ep seemed kind of like a lot of exposition building up to the next ep. I expect Descent to be bigger and better though, I hope it doesn't dissapoint, which I don't think it will! Another great Smallville review Tim!

This episode was no exception to that. Now, I may be alone in this, but I thought this episode had quite a few.** It's often heard, but what I find amusing is that it was the last thing from Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster's minds.... given the fact they're both Jewish. LOL The allegory they were making was probably more one of Moses being sent down the Nile to his new family much more than a Christian image of the coming Messiah. Just food for thought.
