I feel exactly the same way. I love Lex wrestling with his darkness. But it can't win. I get no pleasure in seeing him be all bad!ass... (unless he's split in two and there's a good Lex as well :) I mean, I don't mind it as long as it's temporary, but if that's the full character? That's not what Smallville is about to me, not what Lex is about. It's not the character I fell in love with. Of course, if I had come to the show with comic background, I would have seen the whole thing differently I'm sure, and I wouldn't be in such a pickle now.
So my cure is to write s5 clex where Lex isn't headed for certain evil, but that keeps up with the ambivalence and salvation that the show seemed to promise in the early years.
