Lex's smirk, Anger at Lex, & Honeymoon (Merged)

[youandme]

It was evil of Lex to smirk at Clark like that! Bad Lex!

[LuthorKent90]

Lex is evil. :lol:

[Lex is a god]

I love it!

[BABarracus]

he said he would

[cygnusx1]

he got the girl, he won

[All about Clark]

Indeed, letting Clark know that he won. Priceless.

[ROCKY910]

This might of been said before, but I kind of felt a weird sympathy for Lex when it looked like lana wasnt going to show. Now dont get me wrong of course Im really rooting for the good guy in clark, but somehow I would of felt bad for lex if lana stood him up at the altar. I still felt that way even after he murdered the doctor...:rotfl:

[curiosity]

Umm.... winning would include the girl actually marrying him on her own free will. Also winning would include the long term.

He only thinks he's won. It's going to be good when he realizes he's lost and goes nuts.

[Reign]

I still feel strange about the idea that Lex invited Clark to the wedding. I understand he said that he wanted to see the look on Clark's face, etc... but Clark had already ruined the engagement party... on Lex's wedding day, you would think he'd want everything to be perfect... so to risk Clark causing another scene seems to have been overlooked by the writers

I agree 100%. Lex is still playing school yard games with Clark. He has no idea of what's going on behind the scenes. This Lexana thing has really made Lex careless and sloppy.

I can't wait to see what happens next!

[Reign]

I don't like the idea that what sends Lex over the edge is a woman... or the idea that the feud between Superman and Luthor involves a woman

[j-kent]

i will smack that smirk off his face son

poor clark :(

He only thinks he's won. It's going to be good when he realizes he's lost and goes nuts. I don't think so. There's no telling where the writers are going from here, but considering that Clark does not end up with Lana in the long run, it's not too far-fetched to think that she just stays with Lex in order to protect Clark. As I said in another topic, the saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" comes to mind.

It might explain his lack of respect for them in the movies. Has any woman ever treated him right. Lana is like a teeter totter. Loves him one day doesn't the next?

YES!!! So true! Lana wasn't going to marry Lex, she was going to get back with Clark after she saw/ found out 1/2 of his secret. She married him against her will, and still wants to be wtih Clark. So Lex hasnt' won. Yeah, they're married, but like Chloe said, it's a loveless marriage and I don't think it's going to last long.

And once Lana finds out the elusive truth about her little embryo, she'll definetely leave him. I think. I hope. I PRAY!

[jmf1]

I think part of why Lex thinks he loves Lana is it's something he can take away from Clark who has become his rival/enemy now. Maybe now that Lex has Lana, he will continue to torture Clark and lana. Deep down, he knows they will always love each other.

I think Lex will become bored with her. He will keep her around to torture her and Clark. Lana will stay to spy on Lex and help Clark with what she knows. And, for the money and the cars, clothes and jewelry she can buy.

Good writing.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

Lex didn't win anything, his daddy won if for him.

Pathetic what they are doing to lex's character.

[kal-el_Girl]

It was awesome, it's like he was saying I NOW HAVE HER FOREVER, I WIN! pretty sad for my baby clark

[Atrocity]

If lex was a nice person I would feel some sympathy, but since he is evil and has done something to Lana's baby I didn't feel any.

[Coyote]

I felt sorry for Lex for being enough of a dork to get so desperate over a useless disloyal little nitwit like Lana. I was kind of hoping she wouldn't show, so that he could finally quit being such a wimp and just go ahead and kill Lana.

[Pandora24]

Personally, I thought Lex's smirk lacked its usual punch. It seemed half-hearted to me. I know his smirk intended to say "Yeah, I got the girl now!" but to me...it just seemed as if even he wasn't sure how long his marriage to Lana would last. Although, I'm sure Clark didn't see any of that.:p

[msleggie]

Quote: Lex didn't win anything, his daddy won if for him.

Pathetic what they are doing to lex's character.


Lex's smirk was a little pathetic to me too. And what exactly did he win, because Lana is no prize in my book. And just look at what he had to do to make sure she married him. Then on top of that, his daddy had to jump in and help him out. The joke's on him, I can't wait to see this blow up in Lex's face.

[StrangeVisitor1979]

That smug grin on his face as Clark just stared him down, thinking "She's mine and there's nothing you can do about it." I just wanted to reach into the screen and throttle the prick. Anyone with me?

In Lex's mind he won Lana over Clark but the way the episode played, Lex looked pathetic and a total loser because he didn't know that Lana actually wanted to call of the wedding and go back to Clark. His victory is hollow.

[Ginx]

I only wanted to hit Lex after he gave Clark that sideways look with the smirk and Clark just looked even more destroyed - I hated Lex for that - it was so smug.

[ROCKY910]

Yes that smirk was smug, but little does he realize he is the FOOL.

Who cares? She's been living with Lex for months and CK can't have sex with her anymore anyway so let Lex feel like he's won. CK had her first. She wouldn't look good on a tractor anyway!

But we didn't see the problems that occurred further down the road when the car mysteriously ended up with 4 flat tires (at least that's what I'd like to have happened).

[Tomsgurl88]

^^:lol: oh that is funny

[msleggie]

I defiantly wanted to slug Lex, especially since Lana or Clark wasn't willing to do it!

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

I would use my heat vision and sit Lex's butt on fire.

[paolinki25]

I wanted to slug Lex for looking like a pathetic loser the entire episode. That's why I wanted to slug him for.

[thehenry89]

i wanted to slug lex, and then get me a kryptonite ring and slug clark.

[Saber]

That scene wasn't powerful enough. Lex should have looked at Clark and mouthed, “She’s mine” then laughed. Now that would have been evil.
A missed opportunity.

[crzyeyez1345]

When Lex was beat the guy till he fell, didnt he looked like he did when he "killed" Louis (Lewis) back in Exile

[svsabbiesv]

and when he beat up his hs best friend..it was intense, you just don't mess with Lex Luthor.
that was just disturbing

[lilkoolmaria]

Yeah, I thought it was actaully gonna turn out to be a dream.

Intense. And kinda cool.

I could be wrong but I think this was the first time Lex has committed murder.

The guy he shot in Vortex doesn't count.
I can't thinkof any other times but feel free to think of some.

[Lexed]

He was getting married. He was obviously nervous so he beat up a guy to relieve the stress.

[RedPhoenix23]

For some strange reason I got to agree with Omar at TWOP. Lex, even though he just killed someone somehow came out as the most sympathetic character. :eek:

That's because of what Lionel did this episode. Lex is still evil, but Lionel stole some of his thunder.

[BadToad]

Eh, if Clark was stupid enough to actually show up at the wedding, and then stand outside the church watching them get into the car...then he deserved the smirk. If Clark is going to be a pitying masochistic wimp, then I'm not really going to feel sorry for him when Lex rubs his face in it.

Of course, Lex is pretty much the King of patheticness these days, so it does make him look like a moron.

Oh that's not all. Lex has been driven cuckoo for coocoo puffs by his love for Lana and yet his bride that he loves so much is crying like a baby at her misery of marrying him. That "I love you" Lex mouthed towards Lana at the alter was heart breaking.

[Admiral_N8]

It's great to see they belittled Lex, the smartest and most driven man in the entire world, to a droopy pathetic lovey dubby average emotional wreck.

Great writing!!

To a lexana fan, I suppose it was. I just think that Lex's character looks so pathetic when he is trying to hold onto a girl. Once he finally loses Lana, hopefully we'll see what he is really all about, starting with him murdering Lionel, or at least I hope he does.

[RedPhoenix23]

I can't understand that we're supposed to feel sorry for Lana for marrying Lex in the end. AND also feel sorry for Clark for not being able to run away with someone elses PREGNANT FIANCE on their WEDDING DAY of all days. Why should I feel sorry for peeps who were so intensely selfish??! So Clark wanted Lana back for months and yet he can't get his sh!t together until the wedding day before deciding to propose and confess the secret?! Lex gave Lana months to think through the proposal and never pressured her but it's not until the wedding has been planned out and paid for, and everyone arrives, that she sets out to find out the secret and run away with Clark.And then it's some tragic moment that they can't be together? My heart bleeds. No really it does, for LEX! Omar is right, even though he killed someone, he still came off as the most sympathetic character.

I disagree. Lex did kill a guy and he did it to protect his own a$$ based on something that he did to Lana that has yet to be revealed to the audience. Nobody comes out of this episode as a sympathetic character, IMO.

[smallville/hero fan#1]

i think its funny lex smirked because he didint win lana doesnt want to marry him let him smirk all he wants lana will not stay with him all her life she wil either die. be saved. runaway

[Iolanthe]

To those who are concerned about Lex acting "wussy":

What I find interesting is that we know Lex Luthor will grow up to be Superman's arch-nemesis. But here, just like Clark Kent, Lex is unformed. He's still in a place where he's not totally evil. He still has the chance to go to the good side. Maybe the "wussy" is his good side, his fight against his bad impulses.

Sure, Lex declined that chance in "Lexmas", but I think the writers are showing that he is not lost yet.

Becoming the evil genius isn't something that Lex just woke up and was one day; it's something that he did, day by day, making tiny choices each day, each choice eroding away a little of the good, leaving him a soul a little more corrupted, a little more dark, a little more to the bad.

What's interesting here is the chance - Lex can choose, even though he sometimes doesn't know it himself (although he usually does know he is doing wrong, or doing something underhanded.) That's why I've been watching all these years, to see the seduction of Lex Luthor to the dark side. Even knowing how it'll turn out - it's still interesting to see the process.

Evil isn't a big choice one day - it's a million tiny choices made every day, one day at a time. As Virgil said in the Aeneid (although I'm sure I'm misquoting) - "The road to Avernus is easy. It's getting out that's hard." Once you've done one bad thing, it's all too easy to do another.

And of course, if you have a bad guy, you've got to have a good guy. It's Clark's reactions to Lex's choices (and vice versa) that will make Clark the hero he will become.

Lex is a complex character; like many of us, he fights with moral and ethical questions every day. How he responds to them (I'm sure a large part of his responses are due to being brought up by Lionel) are what will mold and shape the adult Lex Luthor.

[skully]

I wonder how much the Chloe line of "she's about to marry a monster and be trapped in a loveless life" in the wine cellar will put a massive crimp on the honeymoon night (not to mention Lionel's threat and Clark's late lunge at Lana's heart).

It's gonna be pretty hard for Lex to get Lana in the mood after that wedding day!!!

[Peat Moss]

Maybe the "wussy" is his good side, his fight against his bad impulses.
I beg to differ. He was quite strong and assertive while he was good, and an admirable character for awhile. His wussiness seems to be his selfishness coming out, which would be the main motivation for his evil. Once he learns to channel his strength into his selfishness, he won't be such a pansy.

That was priceless. I loved it!

[paolinki25]

I didn't feel sympathy for Lana AT ALL. If anything, her behavior reinforce my view that the only person Lana cares about is Lana. I felt awfully bad for Lex, though. Marrying that woman is probably the biggest mistake of his life.

[Hoogys]

no no no you guys read Lex all wrong.
Is smirk wasn't an in your face insult to Clark.
watch it again if you can. it was just a smile.
a simple smile that said "hey Clark I'm glad you made it. Enjoy the reception."

I disagree. Lex has been rubbing his relationship and engagement in Clark's face since the beginning of the season. That was definitely a smirk to let Clark know that he won.

[Dor el]

Yeah, maybe Lex won this round, but what will be the ultimate cost? Pretty hefty, I suspect.

BTH, I think Lex shot and killed a reporter guy in season 1. Isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd kill by Lex?

[SaberFireTiger]

I'm not mad at Lex mainly because I know what is to come and when he loses Lana, he will be just as heartbroken as if Lana went off with Clark on their wedding day. So let him have his little bit of happiness.

I'd say third? Maybe? Lex did also slowly drive a knife into StaticMan's chest back in Static. Oh! No wait, there's more! Lex also had the doctor that helped Victor escape in Cyborg killed. Also, Lex MIGHT have been responsible for the freaks dying in Freak - maybe, that wasn't clear - it still could have been that doctors call.

Yeah, I don't feel sorry at all for Lana either. Up until that point no one had ever forced her to be with Lex and Lex for all she knows did the right thing in wanting to marry her after she got pregnant. Lex also gave her all the time in the world for her to give him a decision. Lana also got to learn that Clark does in fact still have strong feelings for her in Crimson despite what he said in Hydro and yet still CHOOSES of her own free will to stay with Lex. Its not until the wedding day and tricking Clark into exposing his powers that she decides to run off with Clark. Not only that, but all she was going to leave was a note?! Just a f---ing lame a@@ed "Sorry I can't do this" note?!! What a selfish little ho. At least have the decency to tell the man in person so that he doesn't have to stand there like an idoit and be publicly humilated!!!!!

I can't even find myself caring about whatever it is Lex is doing to her and her baby. As is, it's probably just some lame easy way to give her an excuse to run of to Clarkie for protection. I say good riddence, Lex don't need that crap. In fact, I hope Lex busts her trying to leave him and has her killed. No one will ever know because he shall build himself a LanaBot!!! Mwuahahahahahaa!!!

Least of all, I had no sympathy for Clark either. He for one, shouldn't have broken up with her in the first place if he still loved her so damn much. Secondly, he's known about Lexana's relationship for a long time. He's known since Fade that they've been dating, he's known that Lana moved in with Lex in Sneeze, and he found out about the wedding proposal/Lana having phantom love pains for him/and the Lexana baby since Hydro and yet he can't do anything until the day of the wedding?!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

In fact, here's a timeline of the last craptastic eps written by Brain&Kelly:

Hydro - Lana all of a sudden out of the blue has phantom loves pains for Clark even though recently as Subterearn she could barely stand to be in the same room as him. And Clark suddenly is willing to step in between Lexana UNTIL he learns about the baby. Clark realises that it's wrong to go after a hormonal pregnant woman and there are just so many things wrong with that scenero he won't touch it with a ten foot pole. In fact, Clark actually narrows his eyes at Lana like she's dirty and has cooties.

Crimson - Well screw all Clark said in Hydro - he MUST have Lana. Even if that means dragging a pregnant woman away from her engangament dinner and not before spilling the news that she is a pregnant woman no less. But this time, it's LANA who has the big ephiney that Clark doesn't actually love her - he just doesn't want her to be with anyone else. Yes, that sounds hella self involved of her to say but then again it does fit Clark's pattern, doesn't it? *narrows eyes* Thought so. :p So by the end of the ep, Lana CHOSE to stay with Lex even though she clearly knew Clark wanted her. By the end of the ep, Martha gives Clark to leave Lana alone.

Promise - Well, there we go all caught up. Oh! Except of course for Martha's recant on her previous stance on Clark's involvement in Lana's life. Chloe recanted what she said in Freak as well, but at least that wasn't their ep and we all already know that the writers don't talk to eachother. These writers should be fired.

[Tomsgurl88]

^^ Totally agree, i'll most likely always have sympathy for Lex, especially with his rat bastard of a father Lionel.

[blackcelebration]

I really cannot see now with Lionel's threat looming Lana easily leaving Lex. Also the worst of the worst will happen when Lana learns about the baby plot & how it was all a roose to get her into Lex's arms. Hopefully if the writers are smart this will result in a downward spiral for Lana's mental state because she knows because of Lana's threat she cannot leave & another part I want to see explored is everyone who is close or Lana thinks is close to her turning their back on her.

Not gonna happen as we know in a few episodes Lana will miscarage. But still it could be that Clark will tell Lana that she can still escape but has to choose between Lex or Clark leaving Clark to threaten Lana that he can never speak to her again if she stays married to Lex. But because of Lionel's threat she can't. Other people could also abandon her, Chloe & Martha.
Also it is more likely that the longer she is with Lex the more likely that she will fear what Lex will do to her if she tried to leave him.

It is likely that Lana will be forced to tell Clark the truth or Clark will learn from someone (maybe Martha??) about Lionel's involvement in the marriage (I've got a feeling that Martha & Lionel's friendship is going to break down very soon).

Lex's state of mind at the moment is of a desperate man who thinks that Lana is his only way towards redemption in life. In Lex's mind he is trying to recreate the world as seen in Lexmas & he will do anything to make sure that his ideal fantasy world (where everyone loved & respected him) can still be kept in his mind anyway a reality. Hopefully these are really tough times for Lana otherwise her character would not have grown up & it would be silly IMO for TPTB to try to still portray her as that perfect innocent princess from when she was 15!!!

[All about Clark]

How can anyone have sympathy for Lex when he just killed a guy?

Well she can easily leave once Lex kills Lionel probably in the finale.

I think he really believes Lana married him because she loves him.
On the other hand, when Lana walked in late for the wedding, Lex and Lionel did kind of share a smile.. So maybe Lex does know.

I'm asking myself the same question. :rolleyes:

[Ireallylikethisshow]

I felt bad for everyone in a way. And in a way I want to yell at them.

Clark- He seemed so sad and hurt, but to be honest, he should have let go of Lana a long time ago. He only loves an image of her in his head, and that's creepy. It's not fair to himself or Lana. His love is also not realistic or any fun at all. I think he should have moved on a long time ago, and stopped trying to live Lana's life for her.

Lana- I felt bad because she was in a hopless situation and not as annoying in this ep. She chose to get involved with this relationship, using Lex just to get back at Clark and acting like a jerk to everyone about it. Acting stupid, naive, and like a 2-year old. A boring one.

Lex- Felt bad for him 'cause he was so foolishly in love with Lana, and was afraid she was going to leave him at the aisle. People leave him a lot in his life. I also am angry because he's being foolish, and in denial. Also, because he's not evil enough.

[RedPhoenix23]

Originally posted by All about Clark

Honestly? It's because I have even LESS sympathy for Clark and Lana. For Lex to have gone from finally being the big bad over his father in eps like Arrow and Reunion to now be so low as to get b!tchslapped by the old man and offer to give his company to him if he doesn't tattle to Lana AND the fact that suddenly out of the blue the thought of marrying Lex makes Lana cry like a five year old who was just told they can't have candy is just disgraceful. Character assassination of the tallest order. These writers should be shot.

[Luv Clana/Hate Lexana]

Feel sorry for Lex? :lol:

Puhlease.

Lana is like his science project. And I cannot wait until this all comes crashing down around him.

He loves Lana so much that he would send a stripper to try and break she and her boyfriend up. He loves Lana so much that he would experiment on her body. He loves Lana so much that he would experiment on her best friend.

Lex was a hell of alot more sympathetic then Clark or Lana. But at the end of the day, he's no victim either so really - the ep just sucked as and was a waste of 40 or so minutes of my life that I can't get back.

HypnoHo wasn't a stripper. A ho, yes. But a stripper she was not. :p

Also, the Clana relationship at the time was toxic and did nothing but hurt Lana because she felt like dirt the entire time. Lex did her a favor. At least he TRIED because at the end of the day Clarkie was the one that messed up that relationship all on his wittle womesome.

Is Lex "experimenting" on Lana's body though? We don't know for sure yet - that could just be spec. It's possible Lana has a Zodling growing inside of her and he's doing what he's doing to protect her and her child so that he doesn't have revist what happened to her in Lexmas.

Again, is Lex "experimenting" on Chloe? Last I saw, Lex told his peeps to keep an eye on her. Yes, after she got a chip implanted in her and her memory wiped but that's not "experimenting" either is it? Just a means to keep track of her. Besides, it was likely the doctor dude who had Chloe snatched, tagged, and released back into the wild anyways and he's dead now - something that Lana did try to do herself afterall. How many peeps has she killed by now anyways? LOL, Lana can't get too mad if her kill count is higher then Lex's now can she? :lol:

HypnoHo wasn't a stripper. A ho, yes. But a stripper she was not. :p

Also, the Clana relationship at the time was toxic and did nothing but hurt Lana because she felt like dirt the entire time. Lex did her a favor. At least he TRIED because at the end of the day Clarkie was the one that messed up that relationship all on his wittle womesome.

Is Lex "experimenting" on Lana's body though? We don't know for sure yet - that could just be spec. It's possible Lana has a Zodling growing inside of her and he's doing what he's doing to protect her and her child so that he doesn't have revist what happened to her in Lexmas.

Well, I don't like to use the word ho, but nonetheless she was sent to seduce Clark.

Lex did Lex a favor. Yeah, it was Clark, in the end, who messed it up, but that doesn't mean it was okay for Lex to do that.

Can't comment on what is REALLY going on with the baby because I don't know, but I have no trouble believing the spoilers since Lex has gone all pyshco.

Okay, so maybe implanting a chip in someone's head isn't experimenting, but... wow, okay I never thought I'd have to defend Chloe over here. The way I see it, if you love someone, you do not implant a chip in their best friend's head, and you do not implant a drug in your fiance to make her think she is pregnant.

[RedKRules]

It´s just the way Lex telling Clark: .....see I got her .....you pathetic inlove ex boyfriend ......even tough it were really mean ....... :lol:

I disagree. Lex did kill a guy and he did it to protect his own a$$ based on something that he did to Lana that has yet to be revealed to the audience. Nobody comes out of this episode as a sympathetic character, IMO.

Logically you're right--all these characters could've made better choices that would not have led them to the point in their lives that they ended up on that day. But, I sympathized with all of them in a way.

I sympathized with Clark b/c he finally had the balls to get his act together and lay it all on the line for Lana. It's something he should've done months ago. His timing couldn't have been worse, but it's often when someone realizes that they could lose someone once and for all that they actually do something. When Lana married Lex, Clark realized exactly that.

I sympathized for Lana too. Not as much as I did for Clark b/c as mentioned, she's had so many chances to end it with it Lex. The girl was just in denial about him. But, she was willing to break it off with Lex. Yeah, her timing sucked big time, but in the end it would've been better for her to break it off before they were married than to get married anyways.

And Lex, I sympathized with him b/c like Lana, he's in denial. He knows that Lana loves Clark more than him, he knows he's done questionable things that if Lana knew, she'd leave him for it. But, he's pushing through with this marriage anyways b/c he wants so badly to love and be loved. But, he knows it's a sham. He just reeks of desperation when it comes to Lana.

I beg to differ. He was quite strong and assertive while he was good, and an admirable character for awhile. His wussiness seems to be his selfishness coming out, which would be the main motivation for his evil. Once he learns to channel his strength into his selfishness, he won't be such a pansy.

I have to agree. When Lex was more of a good character, he was anything but a wuss. That's what I miss the most about Lex's character. He's still ruthless and calculating and all that good stuff, but his strength when it comes to Lana seems to have been sucked out by his infatuation for her. Good or bad, desperate men are not attractive.

That scene wasn't powerful enough. Lex should have looked at Clark and mouthed, “She’s mine” then laughed. Now that would have been evil.
A missed opportunity.

:D WORD!!!

Is smirk wasn't an in your face insult to Clark.
watch it again if you can. it was just a smile.
a simple smile that said "hey Clark I'm glad you made it. Enjoy the reception."

now that's funny, "yes clark, why don't you come to the honeymoon with us, what do you say old pal?"

[Clana4Life]

Is there anything left in "Promise" that we haven't talked about or have we talked it to death by now? Can't wait for the next episode this Thursday, so that we'll have some fresh material.

Just thought I'd throw this new "Promise" question out there....

Where are Lex and Lana going on their honeymoon and what's that going to be like, since she now realizes she was just in denial about being in love with him or loving him as much as Clark. Guess she'll just be going through the motions.

[Cyn]

To Hell...OMG, isn't that a yummy thought! *snerks* Lana having to grin and bear it. Hehehehe! Finally, something to look forward too.<G>

[Smallville's Oracle]

Europe probably and I can't wait until Thursday either.

[j_sundude]

They're going to Paris. That way Lana can become possessed by Issabella again.

For that reason alone, I actually feel sorry for her now.
<has flashback>
Oh yeah, she was going to tell someone else she was love with them while pregnant and misleading her fiance. Never mind.

[dcf]

So what do you think happened for the wedding night?

Do you think Lana found some excuse to get out of consumating her marriage? I think it might become an issue in future eps like it was for Clark and Lana.

I can't see her accepting that she is still in love Clark and then just sleeping with Lex.

[CLanaF23]

Lex is such a jerk....Smiling at clark in pain..yo somebody should jump him..... Its kinda gross thinking about Lex and Lana having sex.....shes like 19 and hes like 29....ILL...thats so gross.......i don't know how lana could be attracted to lex i mean he has like no hair...to go from SEXY clark to Lex is like 20 steps down....ILL

[driv-el]

I picked "other". She faints (and probably loses her memory).

[HotStudsSuccess]

Well, at least Clark still has Shelby :D

Was that a yes, no or maybe Shelby said to Clark after the proposal

[Tomsgurl88]

HAHA that was a Shelby snort that was like "boy please" hehe
