Lex's frustration. . .will he ever find out?

[FallenStar]

Lex obviously knows Clark is "special" and I think it's killing him, especially now that his father OBVIOUSLY knows something's up!

The proof is overwhelming. It's inevitable that Lex will find out EVENTUALLY about Clark.

[coasterprincess]

Nah...Lex can't find out. End of story. But I do like that look he gets when he knows that someone else know's what's up with Clark and won't tell him. I never get tired of it.

[myankskent]

I don't think so. I think Lionel will be dead before he tells Lex and there will probably be some turning points in the storylines down the road to throw Lex off of the trail.

[FallenStar]

If they do a memory wipe, I'll kill somebody. Lex is NOT STUPID!!! He's gotta put 2 and 2 together eventually? Then again, this IS smallville, consistency is severly lacking

[F-Stop Blues]

My favorite thing about Lex is his frustration over Clark. Its hilarious.

[angelfire east]

There is no way he can no know right now how "speacily" Clark is. No matter who stupid they make Lex look so he won't know :rolleyes:

[MBCorp]

I thought it was funny when Lionel said, "Still obsessed over Clark after all these years? Let it go!" The hoyay still lives! :p:p

[attitudejc]

if i were lex, id be p-oed

[Aloof]

Hehehehehe, Clex.

[angelfire east]

Clex :D

Thought Lionel is only going to make Lex more obsessed with Clark.

[afro_maestro]

yes, then he'll start having him followed and charting his transportation modes and speeds.

[wb-superman]

Lex is more furious to find out Clark's secret. But Lionel told him nothing.I guess Lex will research throught the securtiy operation room to find out what happen down at the bottom of the elevator.

They have had Clark do everything but come out and tell Lex his secret and he still doesn't know. It will always just be one of those things that Lex never realizes. Take the episode Hypnotic for example. Clark storms in and throws Lex across the room. His reaction "Clark, you're hypnotized. How else could you throw me across the room like that?"

With all the things that have happened, even down to how the two of them met with the accident, combined with Lex's intelligence, you would think that he would put the pieces together.

But he never will.

it's actually kinda sad that they may just let this go to waste. . .

[muffinpeddler]

i hope he doesn''t find out--because they'll have to erase his memory again! Hit him in the head or-Hey! Hit him in the head! He'll forget the kiss! Death to Lexana! Oh, sorry, i'm off topic. My apologies!

[F-Stop Blues]

I think he'll always suspect but never be able to prove and Luthor needs facts.

[IVODARK]

Lex cannot find out. That's all there's to it. I'd mess up things in so many ways. Should he know by now? Heck, yeah.

But his frustration is fun to watch, though....

[FallenStar]

It is. . .he's so sexy, i mean, intruiging when he's confused!!!

[BadToad]

I hope not. I like the idea that the enigma that is Clark Kent will confound him eternally.

[IVODARK]

It will indeed. That's the whole point, IMO.

I agree.

It is the main thing that keeps me watching. I mean, where will they go with the story if they have Lex find out? It is far too early in the story for that. It should not happen until way down the road in Metropolis, if ever..

But that doesn't mean that it is any less frustrating :D

I wish they would stop making things so obvious in that aspect. It comes off making Lex look like more of an idiot for not figuring it out.

Little sublteties would be better.

[LastFatherOfKrypton]

Somehow, I sincerely do not think Lex will discover Clark's true identity!

[IVODARK]

Somehow, I sincerely think you're right!

If lana can't find out, there's no way Lex will.

[Crispin Glover]

Lex getting frustrated over Clark is all part of what will motivate him to hate Superman in the future. That part of this episode was done really well because not only is he upset that everyone knows about Clark but him, but also that his dad loves Clark more than him.

[myankskent]

To me, they've already set up how they will have Lex not remember Clark when he becomes superman. Clark will go to Lionel and say..

Clark: Lionel, I know that you have fried Lex's brain in the past, any chance you can do that again so he doesn't know I'm superman?

Lionel: Sure Clark. (Lionel dials a number on the phone) Yes, It's me, are you still in the brain frying business? Good, I need my son's brain fried immediately!

[IVODARK]

LOL

[The Tommy]

I hope that Lex does find out... I think it would add a strange and beautiful dynamic to the Superman mythos if Lex knew about Clark, but hated only Superman... Does that make sense? Like, Lex sees Superman and Clark Kent as two seperate entities... He remembers his young adult hood as friends with Clark and his deep respect for Jon and Martha keep him from attacking Clark... Also, he sees clark as a human... But as Superman, Lex can do whatever he wants because Superman is an alien God, who might try and take over... Lex thinks that he is doing the right thing by protecting the world from Superman... Superman poses the threat not Clark... and Lex only wants to stop the threat...

[Summers]

For SV continuity purposes since how much I hate it. SV stands on it's own. As so many say it doesn't follow the comics per sa, but follows it's own path. Given that I sure in the heck want Lex to know the truth by series end. He seen too much, and he knows for sure something is up with Clark. That not only has Clark and everyone else hide the secret, but lied to him over and over again. Lex deserves to know the truth. It's not right nor fair. To me it would be a waste not to see him know. Lana will eventually know, but "everything I waited to see" wasn't on pins and needles for her to find out the secret. It was Lex.

If he doesn't know, then they made one of the most cunning criminal masterminds a laughable excuse for an idiot.

i agree with the person about the lack of subtlety on the show. lex luthor of the comics is one of the greatest minds on the planet, whether he be evil or not. he uses this genius to mask his evil from society and gain his riches. lex can be cold and is very business savy on the show, however, for him to not know that clark is very different from the rest of us, just based on all of the clues from this season, is ignorant. i can't believe DC is allowing lex to be played this way. i know smallville isn't straight from the comics, but if it was....it'd be a lot better show. clark gaining mortality just so he can screw lana? lex not knowing? pete gone. lana and lex? lois lane in smallville serving coffee? i had a lot of high hopes for this show, and lex not figuring this all out is just one of many ways i've been disappointed.
