Devoted, a rambly thought.

For those of you who haven't see it , or could care less, I'll put this behind the cut.

OK, here's the thing, everyone is all "Clark, ya selfish using bastard, the minute you're friends with Lex again ya ask him for a favor you bitch" und so on...

So, maybe this says more about me as a person, possibly negative, but what's wrong with that? did I completely misread Lex's expression, which to me was fond exasperation?

I think not. I know that look intimately, my friends. It's a look I've grown to love.

I think that Clark *knows* Lex likes doing things for him. It seems to me, hardly an ep went by without Lex volunteering to do something, or agreeing to do something for him, because Lex would "do anything for a friend*.

Hello. Friend.

I thought Clark asked him in "the spirit of friendship"to show that they were truly once again friends.

It's a game they play with each other, a much less dangerous one then their other game, the "catch me in a lie, please, game."
The "which one of these ridiculous lies are going to rip us apart for all time" game.

Anyhoo- this is my poor attempt to say, Clark did no wrong there, in fact, he couldn't have provided Lex with better proof of his desire to be friends again, In My Humble Opinion.

I'm with you on that. Lex gets twitchy if he can't do stuff for Clark.

The "which one of these ridiculous lies are going to rip us apart for all time" game.

Well, not for *all* time. They're immortal, after all.

And not just in the "our grandchildren's grandchildren will know who Superman and Lex Luthor are" sense, either.

In the "not-Jude hung Lex upside down in a straitjacket for *hours* and he didn't have an aneurysm/Lex doesn't have a gravestone in Hourglass" sense.

After the rift, they'll become friends again. Someday.

I just love cursing at my TV and I thought it was pretty damn rude of him to start off like that. Some kind of hand job would have made a preferable beginning.

And Clark's pants are still on fiyaaah!

Buh. No, seriously, I probably get off on it. It's a huge part of the Clex dynamic. Still, I love being indignant. Especially when I know that in real life, I'd easily accept it the way Lex does on the show.

I've just run off and watched all the episodes after downloading them from tinyvision TM.

*does the happy dance*

I did think it was kinda rude of Clark, but it is the way their friendship is defined, so I'll forgive him. It was good for Lex - Clark letting him help would confirm his place in Clark's life.
