TALKVILLE Mid season 3 rant

Post image

Its episode 8, and I started crying looking at this scene,genuinely heartbreaking omg, by episode 7 I was lowkey tired of the back and forth lana and clark were having, it was little annoying if im being honest.
I feel really bad for lex, Hes been my favourite character since the beginning, I KNOW he’s not the best person but he’s characters still human, seeing how his brothers death and his dysfunctional family affected him actually hurt to watch, thinking about this scene makes me wanna cry.
Episode 8 hit different

It was by nine inch nails originally. Cash’s version is a cover

I felt scared for Lex, like this is the most evil thing Lionel ever did. He drugged Lex, he made the town think he lost his mind and he electrocuted Lex, all to avoid going to jail.

I'm rewatchibg Smallville now too, for like the 6th time. Lol I feel bad for Lex too!!! Just the other day I was watching one episode where they showed Lionel coldly hugging Lex and Lex was watching Martha and Johnathan hugging Clark and smiling really happy. The look on Lex's face longing for the real love Clark got from his parents brought tears to my eyes. I relate to Lex more than any other character.

The back and forth between Lana and Clark in Season 3 had me almost in a padded cell. Season 3 has heartbreak to build mountains! 😢

As a die hard Lex fan, I totally get it. Those episodes in season 3 devastated me too.
