I absolutely LOVE how Lionel and Lex practically changed their roles from what they were in the beginning of the series.

At first, Lionel was the negative character and Lex was the good person with a troubled childhood. But as the show went on, Lex got darker and darker and Lionel reformed.

This scene is pretty much a culmination to their role reversal.

anyone know the score for when lex kills him from 3:52 - 4:54

@darkboy3010 It practically shows the balance of good and evil in the Luthor family.

honestly, they are the ones who act the best in the show. Nice drama

from the very moment i saw lionel die, I knew he would find his way back on the show somehow, i just wish it would have been under netter conditions

It isn't her fault though, she's only a fictitutous character. It's the writers fault for writing such pathetic scripts for the characters that the actors/actresses have to follow. I bet the writers are a bunch of left wing nuts with an acquired chemical dependency of some sort. They should have been fired and replaced episodes ago and saved us from the agony that was Lana and Lex.

@IKUIFGLO Lana was okay during the first few seasons, but by about season 4...she got OLD! I really hated her character from that point on. This may sound bad, but in the season 6 finale, I was actually very happy when I thought she actually died in that car bomb. Then I was disappointed to see that she and her drama had lived >:(

Now, I know it's partly Lionel's fault that Lex became evil, but I have to admit that I really liked Lionel in the end. Just goes to show, no matter how far down the dark path you may be, redemption is possible. I think by the end, it can be said that Lionel was a hero.

What a sick, twisted bastard... literally.

@darkboy3010 gotta think about it the son becomes the father and the father the son

[JRserver]

@darkboy3010 My thoughts exactly, bro! The Superman mythos even has the perfect shorthand for the way Lex and Lionel swap roles as the show progresses:

The son becomes the father, and the father becomes the son.

@darkboy3010 That's because the writers were terrible, they were just pulling stuff out of their butts at the last minute.
