Getting his blessing must have meant the absolute world.

[mattline]

Christopher Reeve definitely saw the talent and charm of Tom welling.. what a legacy!

[sullyb]

"Well, you should be." Fuck, I got choked up.

[misoboskovic]

I'm so glad that Chistopher Reeve was part of Smallville. Original Superman. Rosetta is one of the best episodes of entire series.

[ajittffcure]

Such a touching recollection. Christopher Reeve was, is and will always be our Superman.

[kevinbrown]

I love how they had Christopher tell Clark his story …. It was such a special moment - tell him his name too 😢

[DaniEL-tcle]

All Superman actors did or will do a great job for portraing the role. But Christopher Reeves was/ is and will always be:

SUPERMAN

[demonslayer]

I remember watching this episode. I actually got emotional because it was great seeing him on screen with you. He was my first Superman. Superman II is still my favorite.

[Normal__guy_]

I am rewatching this exact episode at this moment. Christopher Reeves will always be Superman

[lindamawdsley]

Tom’s story is such a beautiful recollection of a wonderful man🩷

[jwtcosplay]

Even in his conversations with the Christopher Reeve, Tom just embodies Superman so well, man. I don’t know if there’s a more Superman-like response to hearing somebody like Christopher Reeve tell you “I’m glad you’re the next Superman” and you respond with “I’m just Clark Kent”

Incredible and so moving to see Christopher Reeve in Smallville ♥️ It was really brave but also dangerous for him ! 🙌👍 Moving encounter between him and Tom 💔💘 as well. Christopher Reeve is Superman forever ❤❤❤❤

[leannepritchett]

Love hearing this story. Chris is the definition of a true hero ❤️🙏🏻

[theblckdg]

that scene was absolutely amazing. I remember watching it when it first aired and I went through a range of emotions.

[stevepowell]

It was incredible my kids were too young to know who he was so we had to watch the movies with them.

[misoboskovic]

Even the music ( Mark Snow) was so special in "Rosetta". Especially in the beginning of episode when Clark is flying in his dream to the Kawatche caves. So beautiful.

[juliec]

I miss him very much. He was Superman in the movies and real life

[ndotl]

Chris knew that Smallville was special. I really enjoyed the after episode announcement. I eventually bought 14 of the "Go Forward" Superman necklace+keychain tag sets. I wish I had bought 100. I have given away 11 of them, but if I had more I would have given away more. Evetime I give one away I tell the story of how Superman came to Smallville.

I was 4 when I saw Superman. Christopher Reeves was injured about 2 years before I spent years in the hospital from an injury. My family read me his book Still Me while I was incapacitated. He was a great actor but more importantly an inspirational human being.

To get that kind of affirmation to be the next Superman. Wow…
