"8. Lex is on the fast track to supervillain-hood for reasons I don't buy... Couldn't he talk them (the Superhuman Soldiers) into it?"
But that would make sense. Nothing -- well, very little anyway -- on this show makes sense. Except that Lex is Hot.
"11. ...shows of temper to hide his own uncertainties, perhaps."
I'm not excusing Lex's mistakes, or blaming them on someone else. But it's simply true: of course Lex is paranoid and insecure. Who wouldn't be in his situation. I keep thinking 'if only, if only, if only', re: Clark and his parents. But of course, there's canon. Damned canon, anyway. And SV got rid of a lot of canon, including a Clark Kent who was a hero, so why not this? Why not Clark and Lex working together to save the world, and having a lot of heated arguments about their methods along the way? Would have been a more interesting show, in my opinion.
"17. I realize that I no longer care about anyone in this show except for Lex. And Clark, but only because Lex cares."
The SV writers made me stop caring about anyone else on the show, by turning them all into super-self-righteous hypocrites, which is worse, in my book, than being a supervillain. I have more to say, obviously, and will do so later. :-)))
