I don't like the moral rigidity and self-righteousness that I see in the Clark of SV. I believe that if Lex's influence enables SS Clark to embrace shades of gray, it can only be considered a beneficial influence. And if SS Clark can just keep Lex from going crazy, I'll be happy.
I think that SV Lionel has succeeded in so isolating Lex that Lex's vision of the world has narrowed to consist almost entirely of the battle between the two of them. SS Clark's (as well and Pete's and Whit's) gift to Lex is the knowledge that he's not alone, that he has more in his life than just Lionel. You've illustrated this well in the past few segments.
In his battles with Lionel in SS, Lex is still just defending himself; he hasn't started attacking like he has had to in SV.
I'm curious about this "immoral act," though. Hmmm. Will it have something to do with Lionel? Or will it be something completely separate from all that? This should be cool.
Completely OT--*blushes and shuffles feet*--I've made my very first fanvideo. It would be really neat if you went to my LJ and checked it out and let me know what you think. :)
