I actually caught this one live. Must have been the lack of Lana that lured me in.
During the Lex and Lionel scene, after Lionel basically tried to convince Lex that he [Lex] was the Traveler, it looked like it was finally sinking in for Lex that he would never be anywhere near the top on Lionel's list of priorities. Yet one more reason for him to hate Superman in the future. While I am not fond of martyr!Lionel [now complete with jesus pose!], Lex did look coldly evil there. Too bad it was lessened with the whole insane aspect. However, I can deal with insane, as long as we get World Savior Lex. That, and his inner moppet was really getting on my nerves.
I absolutely love the Gina/Lex dynamic. They would have been so good together, and she was so very loyal and took such good care of him. *sniff* Also, completely in love with Lex. Speaking of Gina.
Was that Edward Teague that killed her? Jimmy Hoffa? Lana Lang in drag? I say we blame Lana, it usually works for me.
While I think the message thing was cool, where did Lionel get it? Was it a gift from the AI? I thought that he was no longer in contact with Lionel? Can someone help me out here?
During the scene where Jimmy shows Lois the picture... I was expecting a more incriminating perv shot of Lois given some people's reaction. While it is slightly skeezy that he's crushing on Lois while [possibly] dating Chloe, who he dumped Kara for, whom he had made eyes at when he was first dating Chloe [ouch], it's not as bad as I feared. However, he gets gigged for being pissy about Chloe and Clark... yet again. And, not sure if it was an acting, directing, or writing choice, but Lois not getting interested until Jimmy said something about a Pulitzer? Totally does not shine a good light on her.
The scene with Clark and Lex still let Lex be evil, even with the crazy going on in his head. He knew exactly where to hit, and he didn't hold back. It's so nice to see that he's got all the pieces and he might be close to putting them all together.
OT side note: During that scene, my brother walked in, saw Lex on screen and said, "That looks like your husband when his head was shaved, doesn't it?" He was totally right. Except my husband was a broader frame and a stronger jaw line. Still, might explain my love of Lex.
Back to the scene. I so loved when Lex implied he was just trying to protect the world. There's my World Savior Lex!! Kinda made me squee. Then my brother called me an idiot.
That scene at the grave site, I just kept wondering if that was the same suit he wore to the Lexana wedding. Wanna lay any bets?
