i agree, it is a great way of smallville making its own mythology.

[GuardianAngel]

I agree. A perfect way to explain why Lionel's never mentioned neither in the comics, nor in the movies or anywhere else.

The writers actually surprised me this time. I've never been so pleased with them!

[Liarma]

ahhh so this how they are going to explain Lionel never being mentioned in the comics or movies...clever buggers

[msleggie]

yeah, that was pretty smart

[Liarma]

indeed, indeed it was

[TampaVille]

I'm pretty sure Lex only meant that he was going to outshine his father to the point where nobody cared about Lionel, because Lex was the only Luthor worth knowing.

[TheANIMAL (marcus)]

Damn straight, great bit of writing.

[Liarma]

well it could be interperated either way but yeah, either way it makes sense.

[nickyjean_1]

Yes, every once in a while the writers write a true gem for the show and this was Descents.

[Cleck]

Could be the obvious nod that was already stated, but as someone else said - Lionel is in a simple pine box w/no visible marker available to set up for him. I see that statement in both ways.

Too bad, because I think even Lionel deserved better than that.

No Kidding it seems characters not beeing in the Superman comics are getting killed. Lana and Pete are the only survivers due to their future togather.
