Yeah, at the very beginning of the season, they almost had me with the Lana - when she was genuinely siding with Lex, and her 'let the world hang!' attitude...could've been very interesting. But now, yep, it's all about Her. And her little "would lose my love forever" to Lex would have been so much the more meaningful if she hadn't already lost her love for Lex before he ever did anything to her. Grr.
I was swearing at that when I watched, but I think this is an important reversal,
Aww, yeah, I was watching Chloe thinking you were gonna be upset! But I do appreciate the reversal for the reasons you name, because it gives Clark the chance to be the better person - the Best, as Superman should be.
Heh, Lionel sucking ass to be on the winning side is so absolutely Lionel - the only problem I have with it is how he's got all the good guys snowed. Makes them look dumb. Actually I wouldn't even mind this except that it makes Lex look bad, that Lionel can convince them but Lex fails so utterly. Not right that after 6 seasons, Lex Luthor is still getting trumped by big daddy!
I'd be prouder if he had more of a moral compass, but he IS trying so hard to fight when everyone else is running around like a bunch of idiots consumed with their own little lives.
Yes!! I'm working on a longer post about this, but really more and more what it's coming down to to me is that while I don't agree with a lot of what Lex is doing, I'm ending up on his side because at least he is doing something. The "heroes" are so ineffectual and self-absorbed and petty that it's really hard to side with them, these days...while Lex is looking beyond his own pain and damnation for the world's sake.
