It's just how soon they've moved things along post-Jonathan's death that is icky.
I can see why you think that, but since I happen to know personally three widows in their 40s who all remarried within a year or less of their husbands' deaths, I think it's probably a more common response to grief than is generally acknowledged. I'm more concerned about how gullible she's being, especially given the heinousness of his past crimes. I mean, he murdered his parents! Tortured her son! Fried his own son's brain! Changed or not, these seem like problem areas for a relationship.
But it's true that Lionel really does seem to have a soft spot for Martha--though I'm sure that's tied to his desire to establish some sort of hold over Clark, as well.
You may be right that without Lionel to tempt her, Jonathan's death might not affect her moral compass quite so much. (But which meteor shower are you killing them off in--the first one or the second one? I'm confused).
