[POSSIBLE SPOILERS] Smallville General Thread (Who Watches?)

i love smallville, but one aspect of the show that irritates me is how everyone treats lex luthor.

in my opinion, if lex turns out to be an evil villain, its probably because of how everyone keeps on crapping on him even after he tries to do the right thing, especially Pa Kent.

I think that's kinda the point they are trying to make. Plus, Lex does have a dark side to him...
 

I try to watch, just started with the Chris Reeve episode, and have only seen a few shows.

I always forget on Tuesday, but usually catch them on Sunday.

this rant is no means directed at you, there is just so much frustration (and fun, when i get frustrated that usually means i am getting into a show, which is a good thing) at seeing how everyone is already assuming lex is just a "bad apple". it's like people in smallville don't even "try" to cultivate his good side. one thing that irritates me is when Pa Kent goes on about "seeing the good in people" and then taking his problems with lionel out on lex. if Pa Kent really saw the good in people, wouldn't he try to *help* lex be a good person and not just give lex criticisms and bad vibes?

in regards to his dark side, i don't necesarily think that makes someone a bad person. just my opinion, and plus i think it makes lex an interesting character. someone who is willing to do what it takes to get the job done. if you compare lex with some of the "good guy" characters on say Buffy the Vampire Slayer, lex doesn't seem like such a bad guy.
