In that way, I think his love for her is quite narcissistic, because she holds out the hope of having secrets but being 'good' despite that. They could be like that together. They could understand one another. They could recognise the stains on each other's souls but be loved despite them. If he can love her with those stains, he can love himself (maybe?)... It's hard to express what I mean exactly but I do think that both Lana's goodness/purity and her darkness attract him. The double level is what really gets him...
I just had to cut and paste that whole thing, because I think it is *brilliant*. In fact, I think *you* should cut and paste it and repost it in your own journal so other people see it, because I've been seeing complaints in a few places (latxcvi's journal and somewhere else I'm forgetting) about the show never showing us *why* Lex is in love with Lana, and that's a great explanation.
Direct Lex killings? Hm... Jason? Possibly? Didn't he get killed when the meteors hit the Kent house? Or was that never actually confirmed?
Oh I want Zod back so bad! If he doesn't come back by the season finale, I'll be pissy.
I'm actually willing to wait for Zod, because I'm more interested in the Lionel arc (unless the Lionel arc actually gets tied together with the Zod arc). I'm a little worried about what they're going to do next season, already--this season has been so spectacular that I'm afraid next season is going to inevitably be a letdown, unless they keep something good up their sleeve (like Zod). Of course, they could make Zod an ongoing villain into next season, I guess. I assume Lex will start assuming his father's mantle next season, but they can't progress *too* fast with that if they're operating under the assumption now that the show will run for seven seasons.
