Christopher Reeve made a much antipated guest appearance on Smallville tonight. He revealed some detials of Clark's past to him. Just a couple of comments.

He says he received a radio signal the day Clark arrived. He claims to have traced the signal back "billions of miles" and found nothing.

This is a common mistake. Even the closest known stars are trillions of miles. He drastically understated the distance.

He states the reason for finding nothing could be "war, famine..." These could explain the death of a race of people, but not the destruction of a star and its planets. He never seems to think hey, maybe its just too far away for me to see. I wish I had looked at the map closer to make a rough estimate at the distances (knowing the approximate radius of our galaxy, I could have at least taken a guess at the distance.

Minor quibbles...I do enjoy that pleasant piece of fiction [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
