On the whole, I’d give it a (barely) 7 out of 10. The first and third installments were near perfect (and I’m still not crying over Flash-90, you are!), but the second installment took the two appearances that I was most excited about and crapped all over them. SPOILERS/ After ten years and 218 episodes of Smallville, I’m owed Tom Welling in a cap. Whether he likes it or not!

I noticed the yellow on the emblem too. It was a great touch to his suit! 😀
Let’s hope that they give him his own series, or at the very least plan on having him return from time to time and in crossovers. 🙂

Was the red checkered jacket that Tom’s Clark wore for the crossover similar to the red checkered jacket that Clark wore when he left Smallville in Superman the movie?
