I had some...let's call them "issues" with Lex. He seemed very manic, almost like MR was playing himself playing Lex. MR was acting in a way that reminded me I was watching TV, which I've never seen him do. So, clearly, something's up. And, yeah, the end...I was okay until a friend tried to convince me how seriously insane Lex was. And not in the fun gay way.

I also need to add, that the way you have Lex hinting around with his girlfriends about Clark works so well with the way he was baiting Clark in the ep: "I've always wanted to meet an alien." It's perfect. Long live the Big Gay Obsession! Hmm, that's crying out for an icon.
