Lex Luthor...RIP? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

SPOLIER ALERT!

Okay, I gave it a whole week, but...if you still haven't seen the most recent Smallville episode "Requiem," then stop reading this thread now, because I'm going to talk about it. Capice?

Okay.

Well, if you're a longtime fan of Smallville like me, I'm sure you were as jazzed as I was when Lex Luthor reappeared to throw cold water on Clark and Lana's rekindled romance.
Granted, it wasn't Michael Rosenbaum returning as Lex, just some actor all Darth Vadered up to look like a barely alive Lex, but it still was cool.

Of course, the biggest twist was at the end where our favorite villian was blown up in his mobile home/garbage truck...or was he?

Do you think Lex is really gone?
I think it's a pretty big thing to remove Lex before he had the chance to face off against Clark when he finally takes flight as Superman. Somehow I don't think he's gone.

What do you think?

I don't think he's dead because in the Superman Universe , he is the biggest villian. And in every other show that he's been featured, he's returned. I think it was nice to see him again. Michael did say that he would be willing to play Lex one more time in the series finale to give the character closure also. He just won't shave his head again. He said he would have to wear a bald hat. lol So I'm hopeful we'll see him again.

i don't think he's dead, i don't think that they necessarily need to bring him back either though - there are plenty of other bad guys for Superman to deal with.
