Yeah, and they'll start out with some kind of voiceover saying 'previously on Smallville'... then we'll... sorry, they'll... see Lionel saying Lex was born evil. Lex pushing Lionel out the window. Chloe and Clark mourning Lionel's death, because he died for us all. Various and assorted characters taking potshots at Lex -- both figuratively and literally. And so on and so forth. Then, season 8 will begin, and everyone will be speculating about what EVIL LEX LUTHOR might be doing to poor, innocent, sweet Clark Kent who never did anything to hurt Lex in his life. Bah! Humbug.
