NOOO!!! Is Lex really _______???

[Alexander III]

Is he really...omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Lex, I'll always going to miss you *SOB*.

I AM SO SAD NOW :(:(:(

[Bre723]

Lex can't die.
He is in Superman.
It really just isn't possible.

[ZODisGOD]

The man survived a car accident. The man survived a plane crash. He survived the fortress falling on his head. Who knows what else? A bomb isn't going to waste him.

[myankskent]

Of course he's dead. This entire show just went down in flames tonight, IMO.

[Rival X The Great]

No way he's dead. don't forget he's superman's arch nemesis.

[AndiGirl]

Is he really...omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P. Lex, I'll always going to miss you *SOB*.

I AM SO SAD NOW :(:(:(

I honestly dont think he did...and now I'm all suspicious!! :\

[redeem147]

I think he's dead to the show, because Michael isn't coming back, but I have no doubt Lex didn't die in that truck.

[ZODisGOD]

A fortress hit him on his head. He survived a plane crash. A bomb isn't going to waste him

[6-Super-Man -5]

Yup, he didn't die.
There will be a twist, I can tell you that...

[supervision]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo:eek:

[Lex4President]

Come on dude... you really think Lex is dead?

[Markd329]

HELL NO! Never underestimate the deviousness of Lex Luthor. For all we know that may have been one of his clones. Remember when Lana "died" at the end of season 6, she used a clone of hers developed in that lab.

Don't worry, at the end of season 9 [if the show gets one] ol' sexy Lexy will appear and make everyone sh*t their pants in shock and really make life miserable for Superman.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Dude, are you serious?
Of course he's not dead!
He'll return... with a twist, of course.

[Alexander III]

Haha, my boy Lex can't die just like that! Something smells fishy too, why is Ollie holding Lex's green kryptonite ring?!?!!??!

[AndiGirl]

I honestly think Ollie may be working for Lex!!! :\
I mean....it seems the whole thing was a set up. Lex wants Clark to think he's dead....and Ollie is the one who put the bomb in the truck??

Well...how the heck would he find the truck, let alone place the toy in it without Lex noticing.

Something seems incredibly suspicious here......:eek:

[6-Super-Man -5]

Haha, my boy Lex can't die just like that! Something smells fishy too, why is Ollie holding Lex's green kryptonite ring?!?!!??!

Yeah, I'm not sure why, he is holding it...
I can smell Lex's return, early! :D

[nipvillesmlltuk]

NOPE! NOT dead :)

[supervision]

he definatley isnt dead

[Nataku]

There are over 101 ways for Lex to still be alive or come back. I mean, he literally died in the comics and came back (in a clone body, posing as his illegitimate son).

[Level5]

Oh, I want to change my vote from dead to not dead. I voted before seeing what you guys were saying, oh well.

[ClarkyBoy14]

I'm sure he's not dead, but I'm not too sure how they could believably bring him back either.

[ZODisGOD]

i really hope he pops back out in some way before this season's over.

[Krypton935]

no he wouldn't just end like that

[zorasuperman]

i voted yes but hear me out
i think the real lex luthor is dead
is that to say that he wasn't cloned? &$*@ no! i mean he cloned LANA for crying out loud, what makes u think he didnt clone himself as "backup" or "just in case"
will he come back in some other life form? probably ya neve know

[nic25]

I dont think hes dead.I think they're saving him for later.They cant end the series without him.....well i guess they can!

[lanekent08]

that's ridiculous! Lex isn't dead... he will live to fight against Superman

[Niad]

who ever said yes i will punch them in the face and laugh at them

[green_arrow_girl358]

if he is dead, they just tanked the show

[Kal-El 2005]

How the hell did Ollie blow it up without being there.. he had to be there to blow it up... and if he was the 2 super beings present would've noticed.
Its idiotic... and Lex can't die.
His money can still control ppl.. including the coroner lol.
WHY WHY WHY.. why put such pointless rubbish!! And thats exactly what it is.. everyone knows that Lex isn't dead... they could have at least thought of better way.
btw I missed the credits at the beginning.. was that Michael Rosenbaum?

[smallvillefreak24]

Ok who else thought the lex dead thing was really stupid? How many times have smallville characters "died" and risen? Can't take it anymore! We know for a fact he's not dead. SO really not exciting whatsoever. Also i think they shouldnt try to incorporate him into the show when hes not there, jsut weird and cheap. THought?

[6-Super-Man -5]

R.I.P
For now... we'll see you later, Lex. (Season Nine?)

[green_arrow_girl358]

even if he did die, that wasn't exactly the best goodbye scene for a character. lex deserves a bigger explosion!!!

[dreamsofnever]

I honestly think Ollie may be working for Lex!!! :\
I mean....it seems the whole thing was a set up. Lex wants Clark to think he's dead....and Ollie is the one who put the bomb in the truck??

Well...how the heck would he find the truck, let alone place the toy in it without Lex noticing.

Something seems incredibly suspicious here......:eek:

My husband thinks that somehow Lex transferred his consciousness into Oliver's body.

I'm not sure about that, but it would almost explain Oliver's bizarre actions. He just wasn't... quite himself at the end of this episode.

Of course then, we will have had AM as Braniac because they can't budget to get James Marsters back and then JH as Lex because MR isn't coming back? Yeah... not sure about that.

[Ray Man]

Lana must've been on Lexs' trail for a while since she said he was already like 3 steps ahead of everyone. I'm sure that one of Lexs' men must've planned that explosion with the Toy Maker and the real Lex is still alive somewhere. The "Lex" we saw was just a Clone I assume.

[devilicus rebel]

hey with everything that happened in this episode, it really wouldn't surprise me if he were actually dead

[Lilah]

MR's return is the only hope this show has right now.... I feel like I should write my congressman on the crappiness that is Smallville lately...

[Rainchyld]

Not a chance.

[superspider02]

yea i seriously doubt lex is truly dead. Yes michael has said he doesnt want to return right now and will only do it for series finale. I agree with most it was likely a decoy clone/dna remains left their and lex was actually in a different location and is alive and well in crummy shape.

[doomvskal86]

yeah he can't die it was very much a clone

[Darren5000]

I find it hard to believe that this is the end of Lex Luthor like this, that Oliver QUeen took him out, and why would LEx be 'that stupid' to be in a semi rig? I still don't understand why he's made up to look like either the Borg or Dr. Doom. Personally, the Borg look would've been better on Lex.

Then we have Clana, or Lana rather. This can't be it for her! I'm not sure what happened with lana in the DC world where obviously we have Lois and Clark, but one can't just say Lana sucked up kryptonite and has to go far away for the rest of her life, hitchiking like a Dr. David Banner in fear of 'hulking out' or something :rotfl::rotfl:

This didn't feel like a climatic ending to me to me.:rolleyes: I'm stuck with more :confused:

I'm confused.

[dru-zod2501]

evil never dies. Lana proved that tonight, and so will Lex in time

[Darren5000]

Sometimes I feel like the plots on Smallville are slipping about as bad as 24. That was some voice given to Lex, talking robotic like. They forgot to spin his head around though!

[krpto]

no lex is not dead though I don't think we will see him again at least not in his normal body I think that was either a clone that was blown up or the records were faked and it was someone else that wasn't a clone but lex killed and used to fake his death I'm sure lex would have had people to stop the bomb if he was really in the truck and he's a dc comics character so they cannot exactly kill him off that said I doubt mr will be back so when we see lex again he will have eiter tranfered his mind into a new body or have had plastci surgery to change appearances so lex can be dead and yet his mind and soul still be around.

[Darren5000]

It would be kind of funnyif Lex did come back and MR was allowed to keep his hair, beard, and then Lex proclaimed he found a cure for baldness in his absence.

[smallvilleclark]

I think lex is either inside oliver's body or inside a clone of oliver's body. That's why he put the ring in the end

[TayLaneBloom]

of course he's not dead.
DC commics wouldn't allowed that.
(i think. xD)

besides, not even if PS3 get into the most crazy acid trip , they would really killed LEX LUTHOR!

[harryandginnyfanatic]

He'll be back.

Even in the comics death never stops Lex Luthor from coming back.

[Vergon6]

Lex is definitely not dead. Can you say...smoke and mirrors? Come on :p.

[harryandginnyfanatic]

He cloned himself a new undamaged body and transplanted his brain into it.

The body that blew up was Lex's old body, but he's still out there in another form.

[Jigga]

Lex is not dead. He literally can't die because Superman (not Clark Kent) needs Lex Luthor. My bet is that this is all setting up for Lex's return, with or without Michael. In the comics, Lex wears a kryptonite ring that eventually causes him to have cancer. He fakes his own death and gets a brain transplant into a clone (who has red hair and look a lot like Smallville's Lionel Luthor i.e. John Glover). He comes back to claim that he is the son of Lex, "inheriting" Lexcorp.

Note: Michael has now stated that he is willing to return to Smallville to finish it off, but only under the condition that he wears a bald cap. With the reincarnation of Lex Luthor, he probably doesn't even need a bald cap.

[drvr8]

There's no way that Lex is so stupid that he's hanging out, right in Metropolis as the bomb is up on the DP roof. Besides a rolling semi-truck? That's so silly. He'd have a plane or a bomb shelter...It's most likely a failed clone experiment that blew up. Besides, you can never kill Lex, he just comes back and even stronger than before.

[halvor311]

I honestly think Ollie may be working for Lex!!! :\
I mean....it seems the whole thing was a set up. Lex wants Clark to think he's dead....and Ollie is the one who put the bomb in the truck??

Well...how the heck would he find the truck, let alone place the toy in it without Lex noticing.

Something seems incredibly suspicious here......:eek:

I disagree with you with Oliver working for Lex. As far as I know there is no story that says that, and I seriously doubt that Oliver is going rogue or evil like some people think. Oliver probably found the truck in the same way that Clark did or at least in a similar way, and Lex is immobile, so Lex couldn't do anything to stop Ollie from putting the bomb in there.

[pizzahead2490]

lex cant die

[imaginaryhero]

Lex can't die, he has soap opera DNA.

[FlashInSV]

The Luthors always find a way to cheat death. He's not dead. Just hibernating. ;-D

[KaraClarkfan]

He cloned himself a new undamaged body and transplanted his brain into it.

The body that blew up was Lex's old body, but he's still out there in another form.

i couldn't said it better myself. lex is alive and probaby laugh at the whole situation

[Tompouce]

evil never dies. Lana proved that tonight, and so will Lex in time
:rotfl:
I think Lex is still alive. Anyway, he is one of the biggest enemy of Superman, no ?

[superpal1]

Not dead. Oliver is kidnapped and the Oliver on the show is really Lex in a cloned body. Hell yeah!!

[KoopaBowserSSBM]

everybody has a clone on there lol.

[stenochick]

I think the Lex we saw blow up was a clone that the real Lex allowed to be tracked and found by Chloe and Olliver.

What was up with that green ring that Ollie found in Lex's blown up board room?

[Demien]

no he can't be dead...it's impossible

[Alexander III]

Even if Lex is dead, he still RULES hell. Yeah baby yeah!!

[Superman of Krypton]

How could Lex have survived that explosion?

It showed a closeup of Lex in the truck a split second before the explosion..

And remains found in the explosion were confirmed (obviously through DNA) to be that of Lex Luthor..

So what could have happened?


Some people speculated that the Lex in the truck was a clone, but why would Lex clone a mutilated version of himself (with the injuries from the Fortress accident and everything); doesn't seem right.

That was the real Lex Luthor.. The one we've watched for 8 years. I don't see how he can ever come back if the police identified his remains.


The only chance of bringing the character of Lex back is perhaps cloning him (but it obviously wouldnt be the same Lex we've known).

Cloning would also seem kinda pointless when the police already have the remains of Lex Luthor; the clone wouldnt be Lex Luthor then.

So how do you think Lex could have survived? This could be the end of the line for Luthor.

[clarkcasas]

This is Lex Luthor we're talking about, when we saw the explosion and saw that lex was in the fire, i thought it looked as if he saw the fire from his screen.
As far as the remains maybe there was no remains just corrupt cops that he paid off to say that yeah, he was dead. I dunno i just dont think that Lex is dead.

[Iluvgreen]

Oh he's Lex! You never know. But I don't think he's dead.

[tonnmiister]

Theres huge speculation that Oliver is Lex's clone, it may sound ridiculous, but watch Requiems final minutes again (when the song starts playing) and look at Oliver, its creepy!

[devilicus rebel]

Im gonna go against the grain and say that hes dead

[Yoshua]

Oliver has Lex's ring.... so either he took it as a token, or it is a master plan of Lex's....

[Superman's_Wife]

Guys, Lex Luthor is never dead. He always comes back! ;)

[thehenry89]

dude lex "dies" all the time, he never stays dead though.

[Iluvgreen]

Hel-lo. This is Lex Luthor we're talking about! He always finds some trick or something to make people think that.... that.... we you know. So that they don't expect him to jump out at them.

[SVfan26]

That's what I saw/think too. It looked like a light-from-a-screen flared on his face before the shot of the semi going BOOM. Thus, he was watching from somewhere else and the explosion on the screen lit up his face.

It would have been so easy to fake DNA (or give up non-vital DNA to make it look like he was in the semi/blast) and throw a krypto-ring in there for someone to find, and believe it was really him that died on that semi - especially the person holding said ring at the end.

We wouldn't know he would throw a random kryptonite ring into the fire, the only reason we know the ring exists is because earlier in the episode it showed it on his hand.

No one in the show knew he had the ring, it would have been pointless to put it in the fire.

Except for the little fact that everyone relevant knew that he knew Clark's secret/weakness, even building a suit that would not only give him superpowers, but absorb the one thing that could weaken/kill Clark??

What other proof do we need that it would take no great leap to believe he would always have at least one small piece of kryptonite at his disposal at all times (for close personal protection, if nothing else)?

[HeartChakraBabe]

If there's one thing we know about Lex it's that he's a resilient SOB. :D He's not dead.

[Minela]

It's so obvious that Lex is not dead, he is Oliver Queen now. If you think that the Green Arrow would really become a murderous villain just like that, than you're (speaking generally) wrong. Lex is probably holding Ollie hostage somewhere, he is probably also the one who orchestrated the Clana reunion just so he can break them up. He probably also planted the evidence so that the police could "identify his remains" and he would be officially declared dead. Oliver a.k.a Lex in disguise controls Queen Intustries and Luthorcorp, he killed off all his shareholders and now he'll be coming after Tess. Why else would Ollie put on the Kryptonite ring.

Oh, btw. I am staying spoiler free so if this is a knows fact from spoilers than oops.

[Luthorism]

I don't want to believe he's dead but i dunno it feels like writers killed him in SV this time.

I hope i'm wrong.. I'm very sad.

[DontcallmeClarky]

There are over 101 ways for Lex to still be alive or come back. I mean, he literally died in the comics and came back (in a clone body, posing as his illegitimate son).
I was just about to say that. Hahaha.

[SVfan26]

I can't believe DC/WB would allow Lex to be killed off for good. The man almost literally means as much to the Superman universe as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman does.

Same as Lois Lane not being the true love of Clark's, at the very end.


Whether its the theory he's somehow in an Oliver clone, or he just staged the explosion/death, he's not gone.

[Smit6178]

Doesn't everyone realize that when you want to temporarily kill off a character on Smallville, you use an explosion? lol

I don't think he's dead (the same thing happened to Lana and Chloe), but with this possibly being the final season with 8 episodes left I don't think we'll hear from him again.

[krpto]

There should be a poll with all the ways we think it could be explained that lex didn't die in the explosion when he returns to the show. Id make it but I'm not sure were to put said poll in the requiem section or the theories section.

[Superman of Krypton]

I can't believe DC/WB would allow Lex to be killed off for good. The man almost literally means as much to the Superman universe as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman does.

They were perfectly fine with allowing Lex to die in "Lois and Clark."


Another thing is Clark did the ashes thing at the explosion scene for Lex that he did for Jonathan and Lionel.

Plus, Lex Luthor being perceived as dead (when he's not) has ALREADY been done for the first half of the season.

It's seems very pointless to do it all over again.

This time Lex may actually be gone.

Lex's remains being discovered and identified will be a tough thing to write around if they want him back.

[Kal-El 2005]

They were perfectly fine with allowing Lex to die in "Lois and Clark."

Umm I don't remeber too much but didn't he come back after he jumped off the building in that show.

[Superman of Krypton]

Only when the ratings were low and they were desperate to bring him back around season three; I dont think he survived after his return.

But he was officially dead after the S1 finale and DC allowed it.

[Radioflyer]

The man survived a car accident. The man survived a plane crash. He survived the fortress falling on his head. Who knows what else? A bomb isn't going to waste him.Well two out of three.

[17GABRIELA17]

Maybe Lex used the drug from odyssey on Oliver and told him to make a fake death.
Oliver doesn't remember that and truly believes that Lex died along with others, but you never know could be more than a hundred of ideas what happens next. Maybe season 9 he return all full of scares... omg to many ideas I'm getting a head ache

[kal-el_Girl]

of course he's not dead, hellooo comics anyone?

[skugers]

in SV mytho he's dead. he died yesterday.

[BlackLotus1786]

Not a chance. If Lex can do all the things with science that he's been shown to do over 70 years of Superman, putting a clone with a duplicate ring in a truck (my personal speculation on how Lex avoided death) and watching the truck blow up on his big screen are well within his capabilities.

[Zooks]

keep in mind that if Lex was X, he had the crystal. The stone of transference is part of that crystal, so there is a lot that could have happened in the half year between arctic and now.

[lanalang1018]

IDK if anyone has mentioned this yet...but i'm 99.9% positive whatever "DNA" they found in that truck was a clone Lex made. He wants Clark to think that he's dead.


I don't know about you, but I think it's kinda weird for Lex to be back when MR isn't. It just doesn't seem like he's "back" because we all knwo that's not MR...

[Superboy1992]

Lex is too smart to be taken out that easily. Obviously the truck is a decoy, that he wasn't really in there. Think about it, if you're a good Superman fan (not saying you aren't) like me you would've thought of that too. Lex is just too smart.:rolleyes:

[redeem147]

Like Lex would be caught dead in that ugly truck. ;)

[Superboy1992]

Like Lex would be caught dead in that ugly truck. ;)

Exactly. :lol:

[Coyote]

HA HA Of course Lex isn't really dead. It's such an obvious trick only somebody as dumb as Clark would fall for it. If the show comes back next season Lex will come back with it, probably played by a new actor.

[Marissa]

He's alive.

[HowardFilms]

So if you're super rich and powerful and don't wanna be caught by superman, you ride around in the back of a truck?

No.

He's probably on a space station somewhere. He's alive.

[kg1507]

If he isn't dead, how could they have found his remains in the truck?

I want to believe he's still alive, but it looks pretty bad.

[Odysseus]

He's alive. He obviously found a way to fool everyone. I have no problem believing that Lex faked his "remains."

Lex is still alive, of that I'm sure. And we haven't seen the last of him.....

btw, it was really awesome finally seeing Lex in full supervillain mode :)

[rebecavaldez]

Oh come on guys, it's Smallville NOBODY is ever really dead!

[MozartRequiem]

"That was the real Lex Luthor.. The one we've watched for 8 years. I don't see how he can ever come back if the police identified his remains."

Yes, but the police are probably in Lex's pocket. We know he can fake anything through corrupting, blackmailing, falsifying records, etc.

----- Added 3 Minutes later -----

"btw, it was really awesome finally seeing Lex in full supervillain mode "

Agreed! This was THE Lex Luthor of the comics! No apologies, no regrets, no remorse and no redemption. He was downright SADISTIC. Totally Lex Luthor of comic book lore. I'm so glad to see that the events in "Descent" and "Quest" weren't retconned or forgotten about: the writers know that Lex is now at the point of no return.

[Dyanara]

No, isn't it in the contract that they can't kill Lex? Plus Smallville has become a soap opera and on a soap opera if you don't cut the guys head off, cut out his organs and burn them then he/she is not officially dead.

[pbush77]

HA HA Of course Lex isn't really dead. It's such an obvious trick only somebody as dumb as Clark would fall for it.

I'm not 100% sure Clark knows he is living in a comic-book world... ;)

Anyway, they led Lex down the dark path for at least three full seasons (5-7). Then he killed daddy to officially cement his "descent" into evil. Presumably, this was done so that we would see and believe that Lex Luthor was evil in future Superman tales - as opposed to the nice guy we originally met on Smallville.

Why would they do all that... and then kill him off almost immediately following that descent???


I personally think the cloning is possible - weird and cliche, but possible, because they have to somehow also address the issue that Lex knows Clark's secret. Make no mistake, PS3 will be worried about that right now and thinking of believable ways that Lex could "forget" this little fact. I highly doubt they had a clone be the one to blow up, because a clone without Lex's brain would not know Clark's secret (most people speculate some ridiculous transference)... and that situation would be much more convenient. Plus, then they don't have to use the old "that wasn't really Lex in the truck" trick.

Mind you, I do agree that it would be a bit dumb for Mr. Luthor to be riding around a city he is threatening to blow up...

[Pantalaimon]

I doubt we've seen the last of him.

Just as a possibility:
How would you feel about a clone of Lex, made let's say at the end of season 7?

[Alexander III]

I doubt we've seen the last of him.

Just as a possibility:
How would you feel about a clone of Lex, made let's say at the end of season 7?

If I hear that word "clone" again I'd swear I'm going to scream my lungs out rite now.

[Last Duchess]

There's going to be a mention of young Lex in Eternal, maybe we'll get to see the old Lex again

[stenochick]

So how do you think Lex could have survived? This could be the end of the line for Luthor.

Good point. I was thinking that they showed mutilated Lex and then they showed the trcuk blow up. but there was a cut in between to mutilated Lex with an explosion directly behind him.

Let's remember the scene of Chloe and her dad being blown up in the safe house and Lana being blown up in her SUV. Somehow, Lex escaped the blast or had a clone with third degree burns and bandages.

Also, that final scene of Ollie looking at Lex's portrait and holding the ring was creepy. It really felt as if it was not Ollie inside Justin Hartley's body.

[alexjones50]

lex is dead, face the facts!

[L Nasty388]

about lex being blown up, yeah obviously theres something in between they didnt show even though the order of the scenes make u think it was him, u see the fire about to burst out the door when chloe walk into the safe house but as it turns out theres like half a minute of stuff that takes place before the house actually blows up, same thing with lana and the "milk truck" (whatever the hell kinda truck it really was lol), the order of the scenes show her getting in the car but as it turns out she actually goes the other way and hops on the truck, but since u actually see the explosion in the close up of lex, but my guess is maybe some kind of floor trick, like maybe it was parked above a manhole or something and theres was a clone of him on the floor or something cuz the original lex cant die just yet, not until he gets cancer from his new kryptonite ring but yeah as for ollie and the kryptonite ring that he found, of course hes gonna act and feel all weird, in his mind he thinks that he actually killed lex luthor so obviously theres gonna be a glaze of darkness in his eyes but it had to be done but of course itll have been to no avail...

[alexjones50]

but they found lex's remains, and micheal rosebaun dosen't want to return to the series so how could they bring him back?

[jack1487]

It was a Clone!

Jack

[Sweetie]

Hello...he is in Clark's future.

[DAISHI]

I don't think he's dead, but they had to write him out of the show. Besides Green Arrow is the new Lex Luthor now.

[Glove]

It is my belief that Lex is not dead. First, Mike Rosenbaum said that he
would come back for a couple episodes at the end of the season if he
could wear a bald cap. Second, Lex is in Superman's world and is his
arch-nemesis. This is a good way to write him out if Mike changes his
mind.

[Night-Wolf]

There's no way he's dead! He survived a meteor shower, survived a plane crash and even a fortress of Solitude avalanche! He was poisoned, was shot in the head, plus many more! The man is imortal!

[the fatty]

Oh, I want to change my vote from dead to not dead. I voted before seeing what you guys were saying, oh well.

Then you really are a noob...

We all know lex makes it to the superman age. My guess is that he will come back in a different body all together... Not olivers, not his own, but a new, even better Lex!

[All about Clark]

No, Lex's clone will return to cause havoc with Superman and won't know Clark is alien. Someone's working on it as we speak. hehe

The real Lex is dead, dead, dead!

[pbush77]

So... actually, this Lex Luthor was never the real Lex Luthor (the one we knew from Superman's future) all along. We've been conned!!!

[TheANIMAL (marcus)]

Clone!!!
:rotfl:

[bor-el]

killing supermans arch nemisis before clark even becomes superman is incredibly stupid and dumps lex's character and intellegence down the drain. plus, having oliver queen, the green arrow murder him with a toy bomb....


stupid.

[Welling_is_pretty]

of course Lex isn't really Dead. And I can't believe there is anyone in fandom who thinks he is.

Frankly i can't believe there is anyone on the show who really thinks he is, either. I mean, how many times have people come back from the dead on that show. No body, no death has long been the rule. You'd think that at least Chloe would be suspicious. Or someone.

But no, I'm sitting here going "ok, how long til Lex returns?"

[BULLITT]

Lex really is Mr.Potato-head, now.

[stenochick]

Either the real Lex was in the truck and managed to survive the explosion and there is some kind of explanation as to his remains being found, or the real Lex had himself cloned at some point prior to the real Lex being blown up in the truck and those really were the real Lex's remains. The clone Lex will become the Lex Luthor of the comic books and will meet Superman for the first time in the future.

[skugers]

The clone Lex will become the Lex Luthor of the comic books and will meet Superman for the first time in the future.
LOOL
Yeah, I wonder what Siegel and Shuster would say about that...:cool:

[stenochick]

LOOL
Yeah, I wonder what Siegel and Shuster would say about that...:cool:

Good point.

It's a cop-out, but it does solve the "Lex knows Clark's secret" problem.

[All about Clark]

You know, Lex's clone being the trouble maker for Superman in the future solved the problem of present Lex knowing Clark's secret. You all wanted a resolution to Lex knowing Clark's secret and now that you got it your not happy about it. And I remember everyone not wanted another memory loss situation.

[red_sun1938]

Seriously?

He's not dead folks. You can't reduce a 70 year old character to a simple death in a truck with a toy bomb and think you actually fooled people into believing he's really dead. Come on people, if we assume that Lex is dead and Clark will really only love Lana, can we even call this show anything remotely related to Superman? No.

[SupermanRox]

Personally, I do not believe my dearest, devious Lex is dead. I think he is alive and still scheming. :cool:

[Lexsghost]

This is lex's ghost Im dead booooooooo

[red_sun1938]

This is lex's ghost Im dead booooooooo


Hahahahahahahaha!!!

[All about Clark]

Who's to say that clone Lex is any more or less devious and troublesome than the original. We just need him to not know Clark's secret. I'm sure plenty of Lex's memories were stored for him, just not his recent ones. Clone Lex may not ever know he's a clone and will act the same as Lex would have.

[Tinyeppy]

Of course he's not dead. He's Lex Luthor. There's a twist in there somewhere.

It strange that Lex is probably enjoying his win with breaking CLANA up. He wanted to make them suffer.

But it will be interesting when Lex finds out she got the wrong women & could have tried keep Lana human like after all.

I can see Lex's face now when he findes out that Clarks true love wasn't Lana it was Lois all along. Lex will have an interest in knowing Lois & how did she & Clark became to be when it didn't work out with Lana.

[unreal]

why is lex dead,, because with out Michael Rosenbaum Smallville is
Dead,,,, if he doesn't return,, and i don't think he will.. then the show can
not survive,, they made the whole series as lex and clark growing up in the
same town,,, to try in re-invent the series now that the actors all have money
and don't have to take any bull ****,, is not going to work.. expect everyone
else involved, who still has to work for a living, to start trying to protect themselves now and find other work before the have no chair when the music stops........
Its funny that they lost him over not letting him wear wigs so he can grow his hair.. who cares,, in the movies he wears wigs,, it could have been funny to see him in different wigs as he focus his mind to beat superman in a chess game..

[svtwamedfan05]

Nope rest assured Lex isn't dead

[pjack]

Ok who else thought the lex dead thing was really stupid? How many times have smallville characters "died" and risen? Can't take it anymore! We know for a fact he's not dead. SO really not exciting whatsoever. Also i think they shouldnt try to incorporate him into the show when hes not there, jsut weird and cheap. THought?

I agree. I actually think he's dead in the SV universe. The actor is gone. Move on to another arch nemesis or a combination of others. There are several they can use. I don't want them to keep referencing him while he is in offscreensville.
Just lame. Lex is gone period. It was MR's choice so drop the Lex stories.

[Superboy1992]

HA HA Of course Lex isn't really dead. It's such an obvious trick only somebody as dumb as Clark would fall for it. If the show comes back next season Lex will come back with it, probably played by a new actor.

Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) said he would return for the last one or two episodes of Smallville, whenever that happens (heard it from a recent interview). Honestly, Michael is the only actor who can do the character justice (which he already had in the past seasons, I just would like to see him come back soon).:)

[alejandrita439]

no, he was a clone

[Mars Investigations]

I highly doubt Lex is dead. But I also highly doubt we'll see much more of him this season.

[Jephael]

I'm sure he'll return in some form or another.

[oqllcksmallville]

Lex is not dead .

[zanaamen]

I hope he is not dead but if Michael Rosenbaum wanted to came back he is not dead
and if dont want he is dead

[alejandrita439]

^ exactly
:)

[Superboy1992]

Obviously the episode made it look like he's dead, to create suspicion and speculation. I don't know if it was such a good idea, but oh well. I just hope I see Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) soon, like in the last two episodes of this season or in season nine.

[tj_powers]

I guess we will just to wait and see... gotta love how they ALWAYS do "to be continued" segments lol

[FozzyRock]

I honestly think Ollie may be working for Lex!!! :\
I mean....it seems the whole thing was a set up. Lex wants Clark to think he's dead....and Ollie is the one who put the bomb in the truck??

Well...how the heck would he find the truck, let alone place the toy in it without Lex noticing.

Something seems incredibly suspicious here......:eek:

He hacked Chloe's Lex Tracker and put the toy on an arrow and shot the truck, simpolz

[Violet-Shadow]

He can't be dead. He's LEX LUTHOR for crying out loud. I'm sure all will be explained by series end...though I can't, for the life of me, figure out how.

[pbush77]

Well, this question was answered definitively by Brian Peterson at the SDCC panel yesterday. Look it up yourself if you want the spoiler.

So, that's that. :D Next question!

[9-SOSIHTWB]

I think we all knew that Lex wasn't dead even before Brian Peterson confirmed this!!!

[losdrivaren]

Lex made a clone of Lana and of course of himself to, just so CK don't trust Oliver Queen(Green Arrow:p
And maybe Lex has made a superclone, and tranzfer him self in the "kryptonsuite".
And adding Zodz powers=CK has hard days ahead!
And Doomsday will be back:D If he can't die some exploziviz will not leave a scratch...
Cause Tess blow him up and that dosen't hurt him...
He's being stuck with a sword, hit by CK kryptonite from Chloe...
I came of the subject maybe:p
But Lex will never die, he's immortal:D

[yagyu]

Everyone seems to be on this clone thing, i dont think he made a clone unless it was the clones remains found in the truck like they did with lana. We never actually see lex die, all we see is his face and then bright white light reflect off it then a cut to the building explode.

Dr Fate has already confirmed lex isnt dead. So more then likely lex was watching the truck explode from some safe house, he is to smart to sit in the truck and wait for someone to blow him up.

But unless MR comes back to reprise the role for a few episodes then lex might as well be dead.
