I have been rewatching the whole show for the first time since I was 8. Why did everyone hate Lex so much despite everything he tried to do for the town? >Volunteers to go into his factory alone to negotiate with a crazed gunman >Constantly offering to help the Kents with their failing farm >Offers top flight medical treatment to his friends when they are hurt and is always declined >Gives solid advice to almost every character in the show at some point >Everyone hates him and Chloe because they are the only people that want to find out why the town is being attacked by mutants every other week
Was this the best live action version of Lex ever on screen?It was

Just started rewatching as well, nearly half way through S3. Show has a lot of issues but a lot going for it as well, and Lex's arc is the latter. They set him up as a good guy pushed to bad by everyone he cared about. Simple but effectively and patiently done.
>Was this the best live action version of Lex ever on screen? Yes
Nathaniel Wright
>Constantly offering to help the Kents with their failing farm This never made sense to me, They provide the Town's organic produce, baked goods, flowers, preserves and presumably milk. how the fuck are they selling that much stuff and still not making ends meet? did somebody quadruple down on the mortgage or something?

Young Kryptonians do a LOT of damage. John went through like ten tractors when he was a toddler.
But seriously, no clue.

elaborate?
Aaron Reyes
Because he is wealthy and everyone is jealous of his wealth, and too proud to except his help. He really was a caring guy, but no one could see past his money.

If Clark had told him his secret sometime in the first couple seasons could Lex have been saved? I watched this show with my sister as a kid and I always believed that Lex just wanted to be loved and be part of the Kent family and he would have kept Clark's secret and been a slightly overbearing ally that helps Clark save the world. my sister always thought that Lex wouldn't be able to help himself and end up exploiting Clark and using him for his own gain. But nothing that Lex did in the first few seasons indicates this. he went in alone to exchange himself for a bunch of country hicks in his factory when they were being held hostage.

>If Clark had told him his secret sometime in the first couple seasons could Lex have been saved? Absolutely. Clark's constant denial was the primary driver for Lex's obsession multiple times early on. Of course we all know from the beginning that Lex is a bad guy but I do appreciate that they made it a journey from legitimately good intentions

>This is Chloe's biggest victory
Ethan Reed
I think I agree with you sister, but more likely, he would come to resent Clark rather than exploit him, because in the end Lex is a jealous and petty fuck in every universe. Even from day one the seeds for his fall were there and had already started to bloom from all the shit he went through. I think in the end that, while he could have handled it better, Clark just did the best he could.
If I remember right, Clark was generally a good friend to Lex. His closest, as in the ones he hung around with most days, took most of their lives together to discover his secret. It's just we 'meet' them at the same time as Lex.
As for the money thing, I think people just didn't want to feel like they owed him, or his family, anything or wanted them to be able to feel like they contributed.

Eh, I'm happy she got Ollie. He was a great live action Green Arrow. And Smallville Lois has to be one of her best incarnations too.
>Fuck Lana.

>According to one of them, their “master,” a top Nxivm official named Lauren Salzman, instructed them to say: “Master, please brand me, it would be an honor.” >A copy of a text message Mr. Raniere sent to a female follower indicates that he knew women were being branded and that the symbol’s design incorporated his initials.
“Not initially intended as my initials but they rearranged it slightly for tribute,” Mr. Raniere wrote, (“if it were abraham lincolns or bill gates initials no one would care.)”
Holy shit

Wait, this is real?

BEST PART ABOUT THIS SHOW, NOT ONE FUCKING FAGGOT AND YOU KNOW WHAT, it fucking rocked. No fucking SJW Cultural Marxist fuck to fuck up your media, just Lana centric stories you couldn't stand because Lana was annoying. But to get those times back,, I'd take annoying Lana. And Jonathan Kent was an Ass, Lex was a good guy, now and again so him forcing Clark to keep Lex out was a bad thing.
Member that Episode when the Woman who could tell the future and was blind went to tell Lex's future and what she saw literally made her shit herself and die right there holding Lex's hands. Shit was so cash. Lex was dressed in white and it began to rain blood and every Nuke on earth launched at opposing nations and Lex was smiling like a boss.
Now we get FAGGOT CENTRAL and FEMINIST CENTRAL SUPER GIRL
FUCKING Sup Forums was right.

because he is fucking bald

Fuck, I'd forgotten about that. It was amazing.
I also loved a lot of the music choices. Everything by Lifehouse is still one of my favorite songs, and I associate it with Smallville more than I do the not-so-subtle gospel music it was intended as.
