Still think that Lex can't get any nastier, Patrick?

I'm still reeling from this episode, what a freakin' dark and twisted ride! The old Lex is dead, he's deader than dead, he's well, a lot dead.

Sorry if i'm not articulate right now but I just can't get over how awesome this episode was, I always knew that someday Lionel would get it at the hands of his son but it still didn't prepare me for how it went down. Michael Rosenbaum made me do something that I have never done with any past Lex...he made me very afraid of him!

I don't even think Anakin finally becoming Darth Vader had this sort of impact on me, looking into Lex's eyes you could see nothing but hate, sick, perverse and unbridled hate.

I'm going to go watch this one again.

Next season: Touched by a Kryptonian.


They should put in the part where Lex throws his good conscience/kid into the fire into the opening credits montage.

OK, so, in the Boston area, something was wicked wrong with the CW and the sound kept cutting in and out (no sound for the first 12 minutes, missing a few more somewhere in the middle, and out of sync for the second half) -- best episode of the year, and they destroy the broadcast.

Despite all of that, I was incredibly moved.

I hope I get a chance to see it again sometime with some audio. Turns out, sound is important. Who woulda thunk it?

(Seething with Lex-like rage...)

Hey, other than Smallville, I didn't get anything tonight. Fifth Grader and Lyrics were both off because of weather reporting, and I flipped around and saw that every network show was lost because of it.

And then he kills Gina before she can confirm to him that Clark is The Traveler.
And we didn't get to see a "D'oh!" scene when he hears her message. Of course, Lex really has to know Clark is the Traveler, but ...

That would have been fuuny, to have Lex playback his messages and see him slap his own forehead with his palm lol.

So much was laid to rest last night, Lex's goodness, he and Clark's friendship, Lionel and Gina. Rosenbaum, IMHO, deserves an Emmy nod for this episode, but we all know that will never happen.

Eat your evil hearts out Hackman and Spacy, you both have zip on Rosenbaum's Lex.

Wait, that was Lex who killed Gina? I thought it was some dude we didn't know. A dude with hair. I wish I hadn't deleted my recording now.

The phrase "Lex killed someone" doesn't have to mean "Lex killed someone with his own hands". If an assassin working for Lex kills in accordance with his orders, it's functionally identical.

Wasn't it the same guy who killed the Swann girl?

I guess I didn't make the leap that Lex hired someone. I thought it was some mysterious dude, possibly the new vessel of Jor-El. Hell if I know.
