But you see, for me, the betrayal of love -- and I'm using the word 'love' in its most general sense, in other words, the love between friends, or lovers, or family members, so my words don't only apply to the Slash interpretation of the relationship between Lex and Clark. -- uh, where was I? Oh,yes. For me, the betrayal of love is one of the most evil of acts. Far more evil than any unethical business practices. So, if Clark ends up betraying Lex by deserting him when Lex needs him most, if he completely ends their friendship and throws Lex to the wolves, all because of what other people say about Lex, and if Lex isn't truly evil, but is, in fact, confused and trying to be the hero, then Clark has done something far more evil, in my own opinion, than anything Lex might do in the future. And that disturbs me, because Clark is supposed to be Superman, and if he isn't perfect -- because no one is perfect -- then at least he shouldn't be evil.
So, I can't really watch, if that's what the writers are planning. That sort of emotional torture just isn't my thing. But that's only my own perspective, which I realize not everyone shares. :-)))
