Smallville/SPN Questions

So, I don't normally watch these shows, but people on my flist talk about them, and for once I was free on a Thursday evening, so I thought, hell, why not. So I watched them, but because I don't know all the history and stuff, I had a couple questions about them.


So . . . Lex was gay with a love/hate complex ever since he was a wee little thing?

and


Is the theme of this show always incestuous brothers?

Oh, I didn't know they were friends/not friends. I mean, I thought there was that love/hate vibe from the beginning.

The one other ep I saw had some *really* weird stuff going on with his mommy, but I didn't get it 'cause I hadn't seen enough of the show. In this one, I did pick up that he'd had one brother who died . . . Have they done flashbacks before for Lex? Do they always use the same kid? Anyway . . . oh, yeah, picked up on the Daddy issues right off. I like the guy who plays Lionel. He has a cool voice and he looks like a lion. Is he evil?

Lionel is played by the always wonderful John Glover, who at this point has gone back and forth over the line so many times, even Lionel isn't sure if he's evil or not.

He's hot.

They've had flashback Lex storylines a few times - usually with a younger Lex, right before he lost his hair and just after, this was the first time with that actor.

I thought the actor looked more like he could've been a young Dean.

It was weird.

The flashbacks with Lex as a child were before he went to school (and sometimes before he lost his red curly hair), so it would have been a different kid.

Clark and Lex were very good friends in seasons 1 and 2. I think it was in Season 3/4 that it started to downhill. I didn't watch much of season 3 because it was really weak.

Lionel is awesome. At first he was pure evil, but now he's either pulling off a great act or has truly been converted to a good guy. One of my most favorite arcs of Smallville is him putting the moves on Clark's mom. Very cool.
