OK, admit it, WHO cried at the end???

[AnimeJoe]

Tears swelled but nothing flowed on this end!!

[shy175223]

my heart broke for Clark!

[charmedchick]

I am still crying.. I thought it was beautiful ending.. I started to cry when jonathan said bye..

[Kgatc13]

Same here

[biggkoz]

Wow I almost felt like he really did die.

[Rafael122]

*raises hand*

[vanilla_bandit]

The same happened to me. It was a stunning episode in my opinion.

[charmedchick]

I am still crying.. I thought it was beautiful ending.. I started to cry when jonathan said bye..

[greatercalling]

ya they snuck that in there at the end, it was quite a nice touch, like the way he looked at the camera and said goodbye, it was him saying his last goodbye to all of us

[JD_lover5943]

At the risk of sounding like a pussy: tears welled in my eyes when I heard Jonathans voice and saw his smile again.

[mandylilc14]

i've got tears.. one of the most emotional scenes in smallville

[big_daddy_b_99]

i'm man enough to say i cried in the beiginning at just the amount of emotion there was and that ending omg i still can't get over it.

[Cookie 28]

That was very powerful. I miss Jonathan. Boo Woo. ):

[ckfan]

Definitely cried. Very touching.

[The Crock]

I cried my eyes out.

[Dalghryn]

Like a baby. My eyes are still puffy. So did my 16 year-old son, who was watching it with me. I can only hope to be as good a father...

[Lexgirl33]

I still can't believe that JK is gone, :(

[MarkAllan22]

A great, great ending. I cried.

I came close to crying during the opening scene with Martha and Clark, and I just lost it during the final scene.

What a great final shot. Clark and Martha in each other's arms, with Jonathan 'watching' over them.

[bababoozer]

Yeah, this was a tough one, maybe even tougher than last week. The movie at the end....when my Mom died, we watched slides about 3 months later (she died 1 day before Thanksgiving). Times were so hectic and emotionally combustible. It was difficult at best, and I found myself crying. Something I hadn't done for some 14 years. Of course, that opened a floodgate that hasn't quite closed. I am more emotional than I was previously, for better or worse. No matter how old you get, you may always still feel like that child, but when your parents die, you are thrust into adulthood whether you are ready or not.

[mtaylor]

The past 2 episodes have been very emotional indeed

[flcn6]

I didnt cry, but i did put my hands in the air for a touchdown symbol. That scene was perfect. I dont know who decided on that scene and how to set it up, but they should get a payraise

[smallville obsession]

I admit it! i did get a little teary at the end...i thought i was the only one....

[Lana_Lang #1]

My heart was crying :(

I thought that was so beautiful.

Martha watching the video and Clark coming in and seeing that and him starting to cry. Jonathan saying "Bye, bye".

Martha seeing the watch on his wrist and then Clark finally broke down and cried while hugging his mom.

Clark needed to cry, it's an important part of the grieving process, Clark I don't think could move on if he didn't.

It was truly a beautiful Kent Family moment.

It brought everyone I was watching it with to tears :(

[hotdurance]

I'll admit they streamed down:( Wow the most powerful scene I have seen to date, that ending just pulled on the heart strings. Dont know if its because of John saying bye, or Clark actually shed tears in this one.

[Mitternacht]

I'll admit to crying as well. I thought it was a very powerful ending.

[Summers]

I cried. Having the home movie, and JK there. Finally seeing Tom actually cry, and the instrumental music. I loved this ending scene more than "Reckoning". This one to me spoke more volumes.

[CDalton]

My first post and I have to admit to a tear or two of my own. I have been through what Clark went through and it sucks. Even after 5 years it is never far below the surface. It was good of the writers to let Clark get the grieving process moving. We watched home movies of my dad after he passed, too...
BTW...hey all...nice to meet you..

[beefywellingtom]

I had to remind myself "it's just a tv show". It took me a minute to get myself back together. LOL My friends are making fun of me as I type this. I don't care. It hit me... especially with the "Bye, Bye" from JK. This was the emotion we were missing from Clark at the end of Reckoning.

:\

[greatercalling]

that was a visual and emotional touchdown flcn6

[AnimeJoe]

I'll admit they streamed down Wow the most powerful scene I have seen to date, that ending just pulled on the heart strings. Dont know if its because of John saying bye, or Clark actually shed tears in this one.

For me it was when Clark started crying, that's what got me. When he started crying on Martha's shoulders man did my eyes fill up with tears in record time!!

[Metropolis Hero]

All i can say is well done. The home movie with Jonathan saying goodbye was a awesome touch. Well done indeed.

[greatercalling]

that was a visual and emotional touchdown flcn6

that was a visual and emotional touchdown flcn6

[beefywellingtom]

It started when I looked at Clark's eyes when he walked into the living room. I was sucked into the scene at that moment. The shot of JK telling Clark (essentially US) goodbye broke the dam. I couldn't hold back the tears even if I wanted to.

[sheltiemom]

I admit it , I cried more at tonights episode than at last weeks. The home movies OMG- Jonathan saying goodbye, I sobbed:(:(

[shinedown]

i got a little teary. it was a very well done scene. Clark needed to grieve and it was perfect who it happened, especially with the video. clarks mother had already been accepting the grieving process but moving on but clark really needed to cry. it was the perfect touch!

[God-Man]

I almost cried. It took everything I had to hold back the tears. One of the best scenes EVER. So powerful and devastating.

[Zungas]

Agreed...that was really well done. Home movies does it everytime.

[BlueNRed2]

Yup, it pulled a few tears from me as well. Farewell Pa Kent.

[sheltiemom]

I admit it , I cried more at tonights episode than at last weeks. The home movies OMG- Jonathan saying goodbye, I sobbed:(:(

I agree. That's when I started to cry. It's like he said good-bye to us.

[HotRodTE]

i almost did

[gneisskathy]

I cried more than last week! That was an amazing scene. As corny as it sounds I think it helped me deal with the death too...with all the issues around last weeks episode, well it hit me more at the end tonight. The emotions they showed in this episode seemed so authentic.

[Lifebound]

This ending was to me extremely ppwerful. I understand why people have cried more during this week's episode. I had some tears welling up in my eyes, but brushed them off.

[SOnMyChest]

i had to wipe my eyes to see the preview for next week.

[tw190]

*raises hand*

I cried at the beginning, a little during the middle and at the end. Everytime they brought up his name or something related to him I just cried. :(

[Qwerty]

I cried three times:

1. Martha talking about Bo's clothes in the closet *tear tear sniffle sniffle*

2. When she was holding his coat in the barn *tear*

3. The home video *unleash the waterworks*

WAHHHH!!!

[GothamsDarkKnight]

I didn't cry, but it was a touching ending. I hope that they keep John S. around, and in the credits. I know he can't do anything "new" but new flash backs would be a nice way of keeping him around.

By "new flashbacks" I mean stuff we haven't seen before, but obviously happened in the past.

I think the writers (through all the seasons) did a bang up job with making you feel that your apart of the Kent family.

You'll always be apart of the Smallville family John (Schneider.)

[ChaaBreh]

I lost my parents 11 and 12 years ago, within 11 months of each other. I still miss them and it doesn't take much to make me cry. Just looking at the barn knowing Jonathan wasn't there made me want to hug Martha - she looks so lonely.

At the end, seeing Jonathan call young Clark a "man of steel" and his face frozen on the TV while Martha and Clark hugged and cried...wow..Somehow I don't think Tom Welling had to act that one...apparently him and JS are very close!!!

Awesome eppy

[ferd]

I totally cried like a little baby monkey. :( Soooo beautiful and heartwrenching. I loved it.

[firefly2000]

I cried till I felt sick. TW broke my heart.

[Aloof]

*raises hand* I'm not offended, I'm a very emotional person. Tears were all over! :(

[McTurbo]

33 years old guy... most of my friends consider me a Manly guy.. when he put his arms around his mom and i heard him sob.. i dont know where they came from but the tears began to flow and i was sobbing with him...

THIS is the way an episode is suppose to be written. any flaws were overpowered by extreamly powerful acting by all the actors tonight. well written. if only episode 100 had been written near this well..

still good job with 101!!!

[spideyfan]

I cried...even more than last week. cried hard too

weeped actually...and martha paused on jonathan's face...did it for me a 2nd time

the worst was when a tear ran down CK's face

:(

[LuckyKrypto]

Wow, what an ending!
I couldn't keep the tears back at all. I thought that was so touching having Jonathan wave and say goodbye. I felt as if he were talking to all of us. *tears*
When Clark started sobbing while holding on to his Mom, it just really hit me.

I'm glad to see that so many of you were sobbing right along with me :)

[Kal EL2380]

I cried. I dont usually cry for anything, but man there should have been a warning. Hit me hard. When JK said say good-bye to mommy, and how happy he looked with Clark..... oh man. Good episode.

[beefywellingtom]

we're all a bunch of saps LOL

[lilkoolmaria]

omg, i cried too. it was soooo sad. i found it very touching and I just coulsdn't hold the tears in. seriously, i couldn't get over how jonathon waved goodbye in the home video.

[allison89]

I was close to tears at the end. I found that alot more sad then Reckoning...

[midnite_spark]

i got misty when JK said 'good bye'

i think that got me more than clark's crying, i think tom is getting very good at acting but i don't think drama is his forte...i'm sorry but i wasn't very convinced with his sorrow right there...

*ducks from flying shoes*

[Rita]

I thought it was very touching how they ended this episode. The whole Martha/Clark story was just perfect. I personally wish they would've just skipped the whole FOTW theme and moved the healing part of the story along, but I guess it tied in. Didn't cry tho...felt very warm.

[BadToad]

*raises hand*

[LexLuthorMetropolis]

Once again, not a single tear.

The emotional continuity is coming back, but it's still a hard sell.

[OutlawAngel]

Now I feel bad becaues I didnt cry. my heart broke for Clark and Martha but i didnt break down. I cried like a baby last week for a good 45 minutes so maybe I just got all of my emotion out there. Tom's acting was amazing.

I didnt even notice the last word Jonathan said was 'bye' I remember him saying that i just didnt really think about it.

Bye-gollie I am gonna miss Jonathan

[wheresthefig]

When JK said good bye I got all choked up. And the way Clark was crying was heart breaking.

[ajfinn]

*raises hand* I cried. That was beautiful. TW was brilliant in this ep.

[Cookie 28]

OK. Still feeling teary eyed, two hours later. Damn DVR

[Sayzak]

I did NOT see that coming... I had tears in my eyes...

[cloey]

This episode was a winner! I was teary eyed through most except of course when "Batwoman" almost threw Lionel out the window. I could not believe clarke saved him. I couldn't believe it when he said "My Son"??? What was that? Ick! The last part when they showed Jk saying Goodbye? Oh boy!, I broke! I just sobbed :( and sobbed more as I watched momma kent and son hugging and crying. I miss Jonathan!!

[knight150]

i cant believe it, Im a grown man and it made me cry too, and I never cry, dam ending snuck me. Props to the producers

[cloey]

I lost my parents 11 and 12 years ago, within 11 months of each other. I still miss them and it doesn't take much to make me cry. Just looking at the barn knowing Jonathan wasn't there made me want to hug Martha - she looks so lonely.

Got to say I know how that feels! I lost my dad 10 years ago. I also felt sad when martha took Jk's jacket and held it, my heart started to sink. I cried because it reminded me of my dad. Everytime I saw a scene about Jonathan that was heart wrenching, it reminded me of my dad and I cried & I miss him. :(:(

[mandylilc14]

i shed a tear or two last week when clark was talking to his mom before the funeral.. but this one really got the floodgates open

[Black cat]

I lost my parents many, many years ago and I kept my dads' pillow until it fell apart, long after I was married, because it smelled like him. I really felt for Martha in that scene. (Great sell AOT!) I cried at the end because it was so sad. I wish I had movies of my parents, if only to hear their voices again.

[KryptonzGirl]

That home video..was soooo sad...I was so depressed. That aprt with him saying goodbye...*sobs* One of the best episodes ever!

[spacepixie21]

my entire family was in tears at the end...it was such a sweet way to end his role on smallville though...the whole good bye thing at the end broke my heart...i loved it.

[ge7727]

I've watched it twice now, and I cried even harder the second time around. The tears are still rolling down my cheeks.

Beautiful ending.

[jarethmc]

I already seen it twice tonight and Im going to have puffy eyes in the morning.

[GothamsDarkKnight]

My wife watched it a few hours ago before we put season 2 dvds in, she cried.

I warned her....and she still cried.

[svsabbiesv]

It was a nice closure for all of us from last week. I still don't think Smallville will ever be the same. But I do like the reference back to him! Maybe he'll be the only actor not forgotton lol . Who could forget Jonathan!!! I was crying from the beginning when Clark was so upset ..to the last very end start with the babye!

[Kryppy]

I didn't cry. But it was a powerful scene.

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

I bawled just thinking of Jonathan. I'm such a sap.

[kryptonize]

I did, when Jonathan says "Bye Bye" and Clark drops a tear, then Martha hugs him, and he let's it out. Great scene.

[sstray72]

It took amazing will power to hold the tears back, man. There's just something about seeing a man cry that that really gets to me because we hold things inside... So when it comes out... IT MUST REALLY HURT. Powerful scene by AOT and TW. I liked how TPTB used the home video to finally let Clark release his pain while also allowing Jonathan Kent say goodbye to the viewing audience.

I don't do this much but...
*applauds to AlMiles!!* Well done!

[KRAM-el]

Welled up, yes. Touching scene & well-acted. Very refreshing for SV.

[j-kent]

MAN that was much more sad than the end of "reckoning"!!!!!!!

[lanakk1]

I was like AWWWW and got alil teary at the lana scene and then clark came in the house, saw video and JK said "bye bye now" and a single tear roll down my eye.

[sdogg1m]

I was with my wife in the dining room and figure I could just hear the last scene. I seemed to have missed out big time which is probably good as I would have balled liked a baby.

[MidgardDragon]

Second episode in a row that's made me cry. Smallville's made me cry way too much over the years. D*mn them all! *shakes fist then breaks down and cries some more*

[Miss L]

...actually, I cried off and on all through the ep.

[tinysupergirl]

gotta admit, i cried too, and still a bit teary eyed. i must agree with most of you, one of the most powerful scenes/endings.

[Slimrickc]

I miss jk so much

[sdogg1m]

I know it would have been against the rules but TPTB should have left Lana dead instead of JK

[vyperman7]

I didn't cry. But I will admit that I did tear up a bit. I have no problem admitting it either. That was a very powerful and emotional ending. Welling's delivery was just perfect too. What got me was JK refering to young Clark as the MOS and Welling dropping the single tear.

[SuperClarkMode]

I got misty, I almost never cry, but the emotions that cause them both are the same. The last two eppys were filled with loss and grief, tugs on the heart.

[SamBanksJLA]

I almost cried. I was close.

[rocky_841]

yup i cried. tom did very well on that scene. looked very real.

[ubermenschlich]

I watched it for a second time this morning. Cried again. Jonathan says something to Martha (while apparently holding the camera) "You can do it!" and she says, "You always say that". I guess
he's telling Clark and Martha they will survive without him.

[charmedchick]

I starting to cry just reading all this.. . I am a very emotional person... Last night ending was the best IMO to say goodbye.. But the show isnt going to be the same without Jonathan. (John Schneider) I still listen to the song that was play at the end of last weeks episode and all i think about it jonathan. Even tho he was just a character is like i lost him as a father.. Maybe i am just weird..

[Kris-El]

I sure cried. That was so very sad :( i miss JK

Clark crying just broke my heart. my poor woobie!

[the_drifter]

damn.
it was a very well acted, well directed and well shot scene. i have always loved tom welling but thought he could give a little more as an actor. well, last night, he proved to everyone he should be taken very seriously as an actor. i felt his pain, and it was one of the best scenes not only on smallville, but on television period. holla! nice work.

[runningwithscissors]

i was really caught off guard at the ending of last night's episode and i just want to say that it was one of the most sincere scene's that I have seen on TV for quite a while. Maybe it's because I lost a parent recently but it was a really genuine moment last night on Smallville.

[Duncan]

Tears were rolling over the cheeks, definitely :(

[Kal-el224]

lol...i was so close...and so was my friend..but we were both in the same room...and guys dont cry in front of eachother...lol...but that end was seriously about to jerk some tears for me

[Dalghryn]

I lost my father in March of 1995 and my mother nine month's later. Not a day has gone by that I haven't missed them, wanted their sage advise, their comfort. On December 2nd, my oldest son, who is not much older than Clark, fell four stories. He was not expected to live, and when he lived he wasn't expected to wake up, and when he woke up he was supposed to remain a vegetable, and when that didn't happen...

He's leaving the hospital next week. They believe he is capable of making a 90 - 100% revovery withing a year. I have been by his side every day. I have been his advocate, his support, and his champion. As corny as it sounds, more than once I thought of John Schneider's portrayal of Jonathan Kent.

Maybe it's because I've seen both sides of this fence that the last two minutes of yesterday's episode hit me so hard. I cried because I still feel the same loss I felt when my father died, the same loss I feel when I watch the last video he made. I cried because, as proud as I am of my boys, I never want them to feel the same loss. It's not for me, it's for them.

In my humble opinion, everyone involved in that last two minutes of yesterday's show deserves an Emmy.

[lil4klift]

Last week I knew what happening and felt the emotion but didin't get over whelmed. This week though it was played as CK being angry and nobody expected that last scene. My wife and I both got misty eyed and the video with JK say bye was touching. I look back as this being one of the best scenes ever on Smallville.

[kal-el_Girl]

I was so touched, last eppy and this one, have been awesome, the emotion and feeling that Tom puts into this character is beyond words.

I couldn't believe how emotional clark got, real tears, real pain. He'll now begin the grieving process, Pa' Kent will be missed but he'll live in every decision that clark's going to make.

Pa' kent would be really proud of "the man of steel"
Clark's going to be a great hero because he had jonathan as his father.

[Capt~Placeholder!!!]

Yep, I got a little teary-eyed in the last five minutes.
Why not? I got teary eyed the last ten times I had seen pretty much the same scene. The death of a beloved person is SUPPOSED to be sad.
(I was openly bawling during the interviews on Wednesday with Susan St.James, Dick Ebersol and their son Charlie, discussing the loss of their younger son in a plane crash last year)
Points to TPTB for a bit of natural drama for once.


The previous fourty minutes of "Vengeance", though...?
TPTB are still groping in the dark, finding their way to the "ALL NEW, improved, Everything-you-wanted-to-see" Smallville they've been promising.

Didn't suck.
(and that's better than I would have expected after "Reckoning")

[Daphne]

I cried like baby. But then, in my defense, I am pregnant right now and I cry at A LOT. It was a great scene and Tom Welling nailed it.

Also , i'm glad your son will make a good recovery!

[Elite]

not the crying type, but i can see why some might've (Jonathon says goodbye and Clark's tear)

[TheKents]

I almost cried, I had to rush throuh the end...

[katt12]

I didn't cry, but my mom did!

[myownwoman]

That has got to be the most emotional AND powerful scene in tv history!

I just broke down immediately after seeing JK's face on their tv screen.

My god, the writers have done it again.

[I am the Superman]

I didnt cry at the end i cryed in the watch scene did anyone else?

Man when that watch scene came up i almost cryed man, that was such a thoughtful thing lana did. Perfect time for clark to tell her he loved her damn it.

[Elite]

Lana "searched every pawn shop in metropolis" for the watch.
If only she knew Clark could have done it 100 times faster

[The Source]

Me! Me! I've never heard such an emotional outburst from Clark before...
The way Jonathan puts it "The Man of Steel"

[BlackIce]

I got choked up.

[soosie]

Very good episode...Very touching...:( ...Good-bye Jonathan.

[love_smallville]

I can't imagine what that scene had to be like for all those who have actually lost one or both parents. My heart goes out to all of you for being able to watch the last two eppys.

I know when I was crying my eyes out, it was because over the course of the show I have imagined what it would be like to have a father like Jonathan (I know he's not real, but the essence of what he stood for and how JS portrayed him) and then to lose him.

TW made me feel Clark's pain, I almost couldn't take it. I felt so bad for him and Martha-it was gut wrenching.

[TomWellingLover122]

It just broke my heart to see that scene, it would make me cry my eyes out along with them!:( :( When I watched it, it seemed like their pain went right into me.:(

[myownwoman]

Oh yeah I totally felt gut-wrenching, my god the tears just started flowing out of me. Like a waterfall just falling over the edge.

Sheesh, I really miss JK so terribly.:(

[spideyfan]

ahahahah!!!

man thats good :)

[Tomsgurl88]

OMG what a moving scene, everything the music, Clark crying to his mom, JK on the tv when he says bye bye forget it i LOST it.

[artiist1284]

It was very emotional, so very sad, esp seeing Clark finally break down. I felt a great emptyness and sadness inside, but I didn't shed any tears, it's so hard for me to cry. But I was deeply moved by the ending.

[Dean_19]

Welled up...but not enough for tears to come out....I love the way they cut away from Clark, then back and his tear comes out....so they have an opportunity to put the 'tear liquid' in Tom's eye!!

[Alexis Axel]

me too . . .
Still cannot accept why do JK must died.

[magoo]

Yes it really hit home that one. Very well done Tom and Annette.

[Dean_19]

Don't get me wrong...i thought it was a great scene too. Especially with JK on tha tractor....'bye-bye'.........

[MayaQT]

I cried more at the ending of this episode than the last... and that was when he actually died!

Smallville isn't always known to deal well with deaths well (if they deal with death at all) but that moment was so unbelievably well done.

The only other moment I remember being that wonderful was the scene with Martha and Clark (again) in the loft when Clark told his mom about his biological mother, Lara.

[Enialedam]

I just finished watching the episode ... The very last scene, between Clark and Martha, must be the most wonderful one that's ever been filmed for "Smallville" ... I cried, and cried, and cried. Even my mom, who has never watched a show before, started to tear-up!

TPTB, great job!

[Azure Trayl]

Watching that final scene brought back a flood of memories when my father passed away, so watching Clark finally give in to that grief brought out the tears in me as well. I was also touched by Mr. Kent's goodbye. It does feel as though we all lost a great man.

[nox010]

i didn't even realise i was crying until i realised i was wiping away a trickling and tickling tear. it was satisfying to see clark cry, do you think kryptonians cry?

[aLx-zero]

There was once i doubted the talent on this show.
But wow, this last scene redeems it all.

John Schneider's "ba-bye" = priceless

I'm not even sure if that was acting, because even i swelled up too.

[afro_maestro]

i teared at the end.....it was too strong, i'm sorry.

[Shardz]

I just watched the episode for the very first time and tears are flowing and i cant stop it. Reckoning had me close to tears. i choked up but i didnt cry. I havent cried since my dad died when i was 11. I am 23 now and I have went through a lot since then but never cried. I find it amazing that I could sympathize with Clark and cry. This was truly one of the best tv show episodes i've seen.

R.I.P Jonathan :(

[OutlawAngel]

I think sympathy is why I cry so much over all the Jonathan stuff. I lsot my dad to a heart attack when I was 13 and he was only 48 so I guess being able to compare my feelings with Clark make these episodes hard to watch.

[FiveForFighting09]

i cried!!!!! it was sooo beutiful... *starts crying again* poor Clark!!!!!!!!!!!..*sob*

[smids]

We just saw it for the first time over here in the UK. I welled up, I admit it - it was a wee bit too powerful for me. Reckoning had no effect on me, but that last scene really kicked me in the teeth.

[Ruby Red]

Yep, final scene.. as soon as that tear trickled down Clark's cheek and i heard Jonathan say 'bye bye', i was a goner.

[BlackRock]

Just seen the episode here in the UK and sobbed at the end - just read all your notes and started again.

[patrickm2009]

I got chills and my eyes got watery

[Krypton935]

my eyes got all teary but none came out. it was so sad

[MarkAllan22]

I just watched the ending again, and yet again, I cried.

Jonathan's been heavily missed since his death.:(

[ajwsmallville]

I cried! When Clark walked in the door and you could hear Jonathan's voice, and when Jonathan said bye and smiled at the camera! I was a mess! It was a very emotional ending. I loved it.

[RedQ]

assess their Accomplishments.

Anybody Else felt that they had the urge to Call their Parents or Talk to their Sons & Daughters?

And take a look of this comparison:
Lana = Both Parents Died. She was young.
Chloe = Mom in the insane Asylum.
Lex = Mom Died and Lionel still alive (But No relationship)
Clark = Biological Parents died. FOS as his Dad. Martha still alive and JK ...

Somehow I felt each of them have similarities to each other as a comparision.

yes, i cried. My heart just broke when clark started crying. I think that was some of the best acting i have seen tom do in a sad scene. I just believed he was truely sad and his crying looked real. other times when he has had to cry, i just never really found it believable. maybe it was always just the reason he was crying.

i never cry, and i cried

I don't watch much television, so my opinion on this could be very well way overblown but I honestly think this one of the most emotional moments ever in TV history. Smallville had really outdone itself on that scene alone.

No words needed, just the memory of a beloved husband and father, a mother taking her son in her arms and he finally let go of the dam inside.

I definitely cried at the end.

That scene has to be the most sad on smallville, it actually made me cry and i have never really cried at something on TV before.
It was the music and the way jonathan said his goodbye to the camera, and clark's face as he watched it and hugged his mum.

[genvillewars92]

exactly my thoughts

[SheaMan]

I didn't fing cry ... not last episode either.. but the home movie at the end in this episode.. maybe a little "itch" ..but just a little!

[Shardz]

I am writing this post because simply i cannot stop crying. I dont even consider myself to be a real emotional guy. Pretty much why i've never had a real girlfriend before, I just simply don't push myself hard enough to find a woman who i can share my life with. I feel like I am independent enough to lead my own life without any help and i've shown that in the past. Which is why i dont believe in having girlfriends. My friends believe im a stone cold person. Most of the times i agree.

But not when it comes to this episode. I've become a person i've never imagined. Having compassion and emotional tears.

I recently acquired the Season 5 DVDs and i've been doin a little marathon. and i re-watched Vengeance. tears would not stop for 2 hours after the ending. I am writing this at 3AM at night, just trying to sympathize with other viewers. My dad dying was the worst thing to ever hit my family. And i cried the day he died, the day he was buried, and never after that until my first viewing of this episode a year ago. I didnt cry that much then as I am now. It just really hurts to describe the pain of a lost parent. One of the hardest things in life.

So this episode is one of the best of all time because of the ending. props to the writers, props to the actors, props to everyone for making me something i never believed i could be. A compassionate person.

I was crying in Vengance, more than in Reckoning!

[Yasise]

I cried, too. That scene was so sad, I so much felt with Clark and Tom did an amazing job. I even cried when I rewatched it, but I started with crying as soon as Clark closed the door, even before he started, so to speak.

[christian_kryptonian]

One of the only, maybe THEE only time I think I have cried during Smallville. It was rough, especially with the closeup on his dad's watch.

[Twitch]

I admit it.

I cried like a baby, a hungry, angry baby.


ETA: I'm being totally serious, I really did cry. :lol:

[jadzia2000]

Season 5 has really turned into an emotional tearjerking episode, first with Lexmas, with Lex crying over Lana's dream death, and now this episode.

[Thrill_Seeker]

man if you DIDNT cry then you are made of stone!!!!

[FlashInSV]

I didn't cry, but my eyes were in tears from the second I realised she was watching a videotape of Jonathan.. poor Martha, all alone now!

Tom Welling and Annette O'Toole both did an excellent job at this scene. No need to talk, just communicate with touches and hugs. And how Clark finally broke down and the camera zoomed away, the tv screen frozen at the back on JK's smiley face. Overwhelming.

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

That was really, really sad. I didn't cry, but I had tears in my eyes.

[wildenchantress_kt]

When I first saw it I cried. Now I am used to it but, it still makes me sad.

[megsy]

i cried like a baby :(

[jon-el87]

I didn't cry. Was actually glad to see the end of Jonathan Kent, which really allows Clark to grow up a lot.

[meteorfreak219]

when martha was watching the home video i broke down...and ion october i met JOHN SCHNIDER and he said he thought it was so sad! i was like, I LOVE YOU!!!!

[adznufc9]

That was one of the most emotional scenes ive ever seen. I havnt cried for years but watching that again got me near to it.

[superdoomsday]

A wet face mean some crying and sweating and that's exactly what I had. Jonathan's Bye Bye line killed me.

[lois346]

I cried it was so said when he was waving bye and then Clark was crying.

[rockyshadow]

I didn't cry, but I was very sad. The next character death to affect me as much as this one was Jimmy's.

[9-SOSIHTWB]

I cried it was so said when he was waving bye and then Clark was crying.

I was trying to hold back the tears but when Jonathan said bye, I just let it all out!!!

[lexluthor408]

this will be probably go down as the most powerful smallville ending of all time.
