I agree, Lex is firmly in the "villain" camp. I guess what I really meant is that right now, for some viewers (obviously not ALL) Lana functions to show us the sympathetic, or at least more human, side of Lex. I actually wish they'd get on with Lana's corruption a little more, if they're going there, because it would be very helpful to me to hear Lex's own justifications for what he's doing. I assume he has them, and that he's convincing himself that he's protecting humanity from the aliens, or non-mutants from mutants, or something, and I want to hear him tell her that.

Do you have any doubts about the patricide? Hell, I'll be surprised if Lionel makes it past this season.
