Watched the last half of Smallville last night (forgot it started at 830!) and was so thrilled cause it was about Lex - the reason I ever had any interest in the show in the first place. He meddled with black kryptonite or something, and his evil half materialised. A walking evil Lex, who shot Mr Kent in the leg and used green kryptonite against Clark and wanted world dominion. I have to say this - he was so cool! I have never seen Lex so... assertive, powerful and using all his intellectual prowess. He had said at one point, "You were right about me all along, Mr Kent. This is the real Lex Luthor." And Michael Rosenbaum acted well, I think, unlike Tom Welling, whose pretty face makes up for any lack of talent in that department.
Of course, the ending was extremely anticlimatic (smallville's undeniable flaw) - the two halves fused back together with Lex not recollecting any evil deeds - but nonetheless, I like the episode! Because, as is clear, it was about Lex, and the evil he's fighting within him. I like Lex! (And all characters like him aka DT!Draco, Constantine..., who are living in the shades of grey and are underdogs and are fighting a battle against their own evils and are consequently constantly surrounded with suspicion and mystery.)
Anyway, am going for photog phototaking today and then the scholarship exhibition. It's a kiasu move, but nevermind... If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
