Yes, that reversal would be terrible. I totally agree.
I'm making quite a few great judgement leaps in my ideas for Lionel, mostly because I can't cope with whats going on with him. Don't even get me started on other people's reaction to him, (I mean, how many of them did he actively *attempt murder* on. WTF is with Lois being all into Martha dating him?).
I like to think he's all good now because then other people are justified in the way they are treating him, trusting him at an arms length because they beleive he can change. (I think I might just have forgiveness and redemption issues with humanity as a whole, so the idea that Lionel goes from complete evil to good appeals to me personally, even if not entirely supported by the text/canon).
(For the most part, I think they (the writers) are simply turning Lionel inorganically good so that when Lex eventually kills him it will be *so* horrific to the other characters.)
