I'm pretty sure I'm not misremembering that entire episode in S2 where Chloe didn't talk to Lana because Lana invaded her privacy by snooping on her computer, so it was weird to hear Chloe excusing similar behavior as though Lana could have only ever done something like this if she were dating the Prince of Darkness. I liked it that Lana multi-tasked in her (975th) hour of peril; it showed moxie and agency on her part. So I can't help but dislike it when the writers undercut those moments of moxie, agency or initiative on her part by hardly ever letting the other characters hold her accountable for them.
I agree with you, here, as I said upthread. And it's particularly odd, because I felt like Lana snooping on the computer was *deliberately* paralleling her actions in S2 (just like discovering the necklace was another reference to season 2).
I find this really weird, particularly when one remembers that the entire denoument of Wither was about them getting busy with each other. Like, if the show was trying to say that theirs is a chaste relationship because they don't really love each other or whatever, then why spend the entire denoument of an episode on them sexin' each other? It also doesn't make sense as any kind of statement about Lana, either, because we know she wanted to get with the sexin' when she was with Clark even after he pulled away from her. And wasn't Bound all about Lex's voarcious sexual appetite?
Well, the denoument of Wither was absolutely necessary to the pregnancy storyline--but for all we know that's the only time Lex and Lana had sex. Maybe that's why Lana's suddenly dangling after Clark again? She's not getting enough at home? :D She must have blanked out the part about how he became Mr. Frigid after "Hidden."
I'm not sure we're supposed to have read "Bound" as a statement of Lex's sexual appetites as much as an example of the way he uses people. :Gags: I know it makes no sense to divorce these two things, but the logic of "Bound" is already outside the bounds of our earth logic, as far as I'm concerned.I did read some interview with Almiles where they said they don't conceive of Lex as being very sexual. (!!!!) Clearly, they never watch Rosenbaum's scenes.
It really isn't fair. Every other character on this show gets to be supersexed when they are evil; if Lex is evil now, he should at least be getting lots of sex.
