Hands down, it's the best Clark/Lex scene of the season. Even if the surface text was all about Lana, the way it was directed and acted respected the fact that Clark and Lex have a history with each other that's about more than her.
For once Clark actually APOLOGIZED for something that he needed to apologize for.
You know what I loved about that? It should have been the first thing out of his mouth when Lex walked into that barn, regardless of Lex's attitude. Clark being high or not, Lex now being the Prince of Darkness or not, Clark's behavior last week was unacceptable and he should have apologized for it. He didn't and that was poor form and when Lex pointed that out to him, he stepped up and did the right thing even though Lex was being a pissy bitch to him.
I loved that like cake, because how you (general 'you') treat people, even people you don't like, is a moral issue. The mere fact that you may not like someone, that you may even think he's a bad person, does not excuse you from your responsibility to make it right if you cause that person harm. Clark got it in that scene and I really, really liked seeing him do so. Clark could have gone right on not apologizing and told himself it was Okay to not apologize because (a) Lex was being a pissy bitch and (b) Lex is the Prince of Darkness now. But he didn't do that. He rose above and it's moments like this that remind me that he's the boy who will be Superman one day.
And here they are, breaking up again, even though it won't take anymore than Clark's breakups with Lana ever do.
LOL! It's so true. This was just as much their nine millionth break-up as that final Clark/Lana scene in Hydro was their nine millionth break-up.
But damn, Lex pwned that scene. "What I want is to make Lana happy for the rest of your life and for you to be there on our wedding day to see what you lost." Ha ha, Clark, you could have had me Laname if you trusted me. Could that scene have BEEN any slashier?
Nora, they were playing deeply emo-boy alt-rock under the scene! The only way it could have been any slashier would have been if Lex had kissed Clark before saying, "I want you to see what you lost!"
