My favorite Lex! I watched that show just to see him. Michael nailed the part and I remember Smallville mainly because of him.

He's lonely and Clark saves his life. They're still good friends off the show as well.

You seem to really hate that show. You should stop watching it.
It's all about the good Lala-Bumps.
Here's my favourite Lexi:

I think I hated every character when I first watched this except for Lois. I like Pete but I think he’s probably not in it much longer.

I mean it’s pretty stupid that a cool, suave billionaire takes a school kid on as his best friend. Like he has no other friends so he has to choose some kid as his best man?? Not very believable.

I liked it a lot - not just Clark/Lex, but also the acting between Welling/Rosenbaum - and I really wish it had lasted longer, so it would have had even more impact when the two became antagonistic. As it was, we only had three years of knowingly ironic foreshadowing before it all went a bit sour.
To IMDB, or not to IMDB - because I've got some questions.

Best part of the show, it was tough to watch because for me personally at least Lex was really likable, you know where he ends up but along the way I just wanted desperately for Clark to tell him his secret and they live happily ever after lol.
I think the only failing the show made with this relationship was the memory wipe in the last episode. Obviously Lex was going to know who Superman was when he revealed himself. The show should have just owned that instead of being afraid to be different than the source material.

It was one of the best aspects of the show for me. Their bittersweet journey from being best friends to mortal enemies! And Michael Rosenbaum was amazing as Lex Luthor, imo.

Their development was literally the best aspect of this show.

Sorry, just came back and it looks like I forgot to include the link. Epic fail? Maybe, but better late than never, right?
Anyway, here it is:

"Trust me, Clark. Our friendship is going to be the stuff of legends." Lex Luthor

Definitely! And a lot of people don't realize, but it's actually accurate with the comics, if you go by Silver Age/Pre-Crisis. You can see the basic story in this video, starting at about 1:35 and going to about 4:20, the rest of it is just a general video about Lex, but a pretty good one if you want to watch the whole thing. Anyway, yeah I loved how they not only kept that little part of the classic Superman/Lex story, but even expanded upon it, great touch!

"Trust me, Clark. Our friendship is going to be the stuff of legends." Lex Luthor

Absolutely, i felt like it added another layer to the show and I can't see the show without Lex. Some of my favorite episodes are when they tease their future ("Onyx" comes to mind) or when they focus on Lex in general ("Memoria," "Shattered.") It also doesn't hurt that Rosenbaum is the best take on Luthor to date, and that the two have great chemistry together.

your three sentences are what I love about re-watching Smallville. Even though I know what's going to occur , I love how I can now see where they were going with it all along.
great stuff!

of couse its what made SV unique that the two rivals were actually best fiends for a time , Lexs journey to evil paraells Clarks journey to become Earths greatest protector SuperMan
