An Almost Perfect Episode, 2 April 2006
9/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

While visiting his sick mother Rose Randall (Retha Htton) in the hospital, Tyler Randall (Reynaldo Rosales) is requested to commit euthanasia with her. The nurse witness the attempt, the security guard tries to arrest Tyler, he falls from the sixth floor and dies. When the coroner removes a green stone from his wrist, Tyler returns to life with a lethal touch. He decides to help terminal people to die becoming "The Reaper".

"Reaper" is an excellent episode of "Smallville", with a discussion of father and son relationship: Clark and Jonathan, Lex and Lionel, Whitney and George, all of them facing and superseding somehow different situations. The difficulty of Clark and Jonathan to approach to each other after arguing is very human and real. Lex Luthor again is amazing, with his bitter relationship with his father, and trying to resolve the problems of his real friends, and Jonathan Kent finally shows some respect for him. The quote of Lex talking to Clark highlighted in IMDb ("When my father dies, kings will come to his funeral, but when your father dies, his friends will come") is one of the best moments of this episode. In my opinion, "Reaper" is not perfect because of the sad fate of the character of Tyler, who was pressed by his mother's request ("you will do it if you love me") and became "The Reaper". My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "O Anjo da Morte" ("The Death Angel")
