...or at the very least, shading the truth in a way that completely favors him. That actually gives me some hope that this is still some deep game he is playing.
Yes..that’s my only glimmer of hope. I actually thought…when there was a beat after “I’m not as good-hearted as your son--” that he would finally reveal what he wanted. There was something odd about that moment, but it could just be me.
I just can’t buy redemption!Lionel who’s preaching morality to Lex after emotionally and physically abusing him for so long. I just can’t. It’s a lot harder than buying “Oh, Jor-El’s just misunderstood!” because everything about him and his backstory was so malicious and self serving. I don’t think another sociopath inhabiting him can erase that. ;)
I hope I wasn't being too obnoxious in that debate.
Omg don’t ever think that! I love being pushed to think harder and question what I was saying, and you definitely did that. It helped me get to the bottom of what was bothering me about it. You’re never patronizing or personal, s’all good. I know my tone comes off as serious online unless I’m making an obvious show of being silly and crazy, but I’ve given up trying to change it, because that’s how I am when talking too LOL. Don’t ever take my lack of humor as discouragement; I’m just not good at incorporating it in my replies ;) We could debate till kingdom come, 'tis not obnoxious to me in the least.
I think I read your post right after reading a bunch of Lana bashing reviews in other quarters, and my "defend the underdog" gene kicked in.
Heh, I know that feeling well; there are times when I defend her (after thinking about the Chloe/Lana confrontation, accusations that she's leeching off of Lex was living rent-free in that old apartment, accusations that she cheated on or shouldn't have broken up with whitney). But lately the WTFBBQ?! reaction has been coming up. :)
