Yeah. Yeah. That sounds right. I had this sense that somethig was off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. It's not that anything Lex did was terribly OOC. It just had a weird energy. Which made me ill at ease.
Yes, from the first moment he enters that scene with Clark I felt he was off. As always when Lex comes to Clark, we hear Lex before we see him, and even his VOICE sounded odd. Like someone had pushed MR onto the set and he had to speak before he was ready. It was forced jovial and almost too loud. I'm sure I probably winced.
After reading the spoilers, I was primed for the good gay fun. And a lot of people seemed to have experienced it that way. But I got more of Dr. Mengele from Lex than Dr. Ruth. Not gay. Not fun.
I was unspoiled. I was talking to a friend on the east coast who was watching the ep, and she got very excited at the end, telling me I'd love it. That it would change everything. She got it half right. At first I wasn't all that upset by the room. I felt uncomfortable about what was going on, but I hadn't lost hope for Lex. Then wearemany watched the ep an hour after me and started ranting about how insane Lex was. That he was totally gone. Which was hard to take because I could totally see what she was saying, even if I didn't fully agree with her.
Oh, and I love your gay obsession icon. Long live the Big Gay Obsession! That's my new rallying cry. *g*
Thank you! It's very important to have a rallying cry. Maybe I'll make some more of these icons to give out. It'll be like therapy.

Re: I would also like to sit at the "big gay fantasy" table, please.
