A Pop Life

Yep, I feel the same Lex!!




Hey Smallville,
We need to talk..


We’ve been together a long time. I’ve been with you longer than I have known my husband. I’ve loved you since the pilot. Tom Welling has been my favorite superman. He brings the right amount of naivety and dickishness to clark. Not to mention he is by far the hottest superman to grace the small and big screen. Then you also have the amazing Michael Rosenbaum. He is also by far the best lex luthor ever. Their sizzling chemistry was my first fandom. Just the thought of these two hot bitches on screen makes me bit my lip and take a cold shower.

For this, I’ll always be thankful. Their hotness spawned hundreds of steaming fan fiction of clark and lex’s love/lust. The fanvids also feed us clexers(people who want clark and lex together romantically) and made us long for the day when clark and lex would kiss or screw and fall in love and marry in a big fat civil ceremony. Lex had money, it would have been lavish.

But deep down, we all knew clark and lex’s true fate. We knew superman mythology and that they were truly star crossed lovers. Eventually, they became enemies and while it made for great tv, our hearts broke with each angry exchange. We still had the plots to cling to and of course new characters. Lois was a great addition but we had to loose the kent’s.

I’m not sure what exactly caused the downhill slope; it was a combination of things. The stories got convoluted, even for smallville. Anyone remember the Lana witch storyline that fell flat? I love how she became cultured when she came back from Paris by wearing dangling earrings and makeup haha.

Then Michael Rosenbaum left. I don’t blame him. He wanted to move on to other projects. They brought in Tess, ugh. I’ve never liked her. She’s boring and a POOR substitute for lex. Nothing beats a lex lip bite, or lex getting beat up or lex kissing, or lex looking longingly at clark..I digress.

I cheered when Lana left but after the last couple seasons, I’d take her back if we could erase these seasons. This current one is the worst yet. One thing I loved about smallville was it’s tongue in cheekness. It had humor mixed in with the serious plot. But the humor is gone, all humor. Clark is such a dick lately and the lois romance feels forced. They feel more like brother and sister than the legendary couple of superman mythology.

The whole zod crap is boring and I feel like we’ve seen enougn zod already. I love how alive kryptonians seem to be, even though their whole planet exploded..but it’s smallville. Logic does not exist here. Smallville is known for it’s plotholes.

It’s sad but I find myself looking forward to new episodes like I look forward to wisdom teeth removal. I wanted the show to end on a high note. I defended you when people shouted for it’s death. Now I find myself longing for it’s demise. Smallville, I think we need to take break. I still love you but I’m not IN love with anymore. However, I know when you have a new episode I’ll probably end up at least DVR-ing you. I wish I knew how to quit you.


To relive the romance of Clex, I am posting some of my fav clex fanvids!
