At last Lex gets a meaty episode! It's a bit of a take on A Christmas Carol. Trailers and screencaps from Devoted to Smallville - scroll down a wee bit. |

Strange... Lex married to a pregnant Lana, and they already had a son who was like 6. But Lex didn't know what was going on at first, so he was confused with us! Ok, Lex got shot and was dreaming this alternate reality. We kept going back and forth, so it was weird. Supposed to be like how his life could have been if he'd gotten away from his father's business and money and stuff. |

I thought it was a good episode. I knew by the time he was all healed, he was going to choose money and power because he *couldn't* live happily-ever-after in that alternate reality (trying not to be spoilery). So, really, he made his choice out of lurve.  I'd like to see Lex and Prof. Fine in cahoots.   That would be a, erm, fine episode. ;D |

No need to spare us the details. As far as I'm concerned, once an ep has aired somewhere it's fair game and people just have to stay away if they wish to remain in blissful ignorance ;D In the comics, Lex and Brainiac were often in cahoots Guide's Watercooler
Smallville
O Michael Rosenbaum, O Michael Rosenbaum, you rock as Lex Luthor! Smallville did a good job celebrating the holiday season. Lex was shot point-blank, leaving him on the verge of death (I know, not exactly screaming holiday cheer). While Lex hovered between life and death, he made a quick trip to an alternate plane of existence. Along with his late mom as a guide, it was bye-bye to Big City Lex and hello to Sexy Suburban Lexy, who was married to Lana Lang — they're middle class parents! His best friends were Clark and Chloe and Jonathan called him the finest man he knows, so you just know this wasn’t for real. Here's the thing. I thought Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk had some chemistry. But I do have a problem with Lex suddenly developing an interest for a barely in-college student. It's sorta been building for a while and has taken full bloom in this pseudo-LexVerse (I love pairing Lex's name with just about any other word, whether it works or not). And were Chloe and Clark (lookin' all kinds of hot) together together? In this brave new world, Lex ends up losing Lana. In reality, Darth Lexer ends up choosing the dark side. Very enjoyable.
The other ministory was also pretty good. Chloe enlists Clark to use his superspeed to deliver gifts to needy kids. He plays supershrink to drunk, lonely, suicidal Santa Claus, who as it (predictably) turns out, seems to be the real deal. But seriously, Lex choosing to stand firmly on the side of power and money was the big story. First target: Clark's dad, who's running against Lex for the senate. He tells a mysterious do-badder to: Find it. Fake it. Do whatever it takes to knock Jonathan Kent out of the race. Poor Jonathan. — Bettina Charles

OH! Poor darling, damaged, insecure Lex  All he needs is the love and support of a good Clark Brainiac friend  I could have lived happily ever after without the Santa shit, but otherwise a cracking episode ;D |

Lots of Lex....a fair splash of Lionel ,just what the doctor ordered as we are without Brainiac for a while ;D I enjoyed this ep although yeah...could have done without the cheesy santa mini story, it seems most telly dramas have to put one of those in during the season  |
