Hee! In some ways I wish I had just quit watching the show (and depending on how this season finale goes, I might give it up next year) but this analysis is rather enjoyable, in its way. The canon has so many holes and gaps and oddities that it's amazingly easy to twist it into what we'd like to see...or maybe not.
What I wonder about now is whether TPTB are in any way aware of what they're doing.
Oh, I am dying to know this! Because, as you say, it is amazingly consistent (well, sometimes. Most of the Lana plots, for instance, throw monkey wrenches into the machinery). And yet it's too subtle...it doesn't make sense, if they really have an idea this clever, not to eventually make it clear. And they're not and I don't think they're going to. Which is why I'm wondering if it's only some of TPTB doing it - like, MR maybe is acting it that way, in collaberation with some of the directors; and Caroline Dries really seems to be writing world-saving-Lex. I'd love to ask them! Or ask them what they are doing, if they're not doing that (I'd like to ask MR especially. He's playing Lex now totally different from evil!Lex of "Onyx", that has to be deliberate...to me it looks like he's playing Lex as deeply conflicted, and if I'm reading that right, I'm wondering what he thinks the conflict is...)
