You know, you're pretty much one-handedly redeeming the show (and Lex) for me :)

Someone should compile a list of stuff that a)Lex knows, b)Lex doesn't know, c) probably suspects and d)thinks he knows but is actually wrong about. (and then someone should give that list to Clark *coughs*)

Also, everyone forgets Brainiac. I don't buy for one second that Brainiac is defeated. And Lex doesn't know what happened to Fine, either.
