~ How I feel about this character: I like Lex, for the most part. Rosenbaum was definitely a great casting choice and he's my Lex, accept no substitutes. He had a really compelling character arc and really made you care about him and his story. It was interesting that he wanted to what was right, at least in the beginning, but then it was his own traits- his obsession, his eventual need for power, that was his downfall. ~ All the people I ship romantically with this character: Chloe, Lana ~ My non-romantic OTP for this character: Clark. I used to ship them in the early seasons but I lost interest in s6 and it never came back. And the early stuff doesn't really do it for me anymore either because of how young Clark was in those seasons. ~ My unpopular opinion about this character: I just don't see him as this big woobie that some of his apologists/fans seem to insist he is. Clark didn't make him a villain and he didn't have a right to his secret. Lionel's parenting was bad but Clark was a teenager and Lex was in his early twenties so I'm going to hold him more responsible for his actions. Clark lied, but so did Lex. ~ One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish he had faked his death in s8 and then reemerged as himself in the finale rather than the clone plot. It really changes things for that not to be the Lex Clark knew growing up.
