I'm back... Sorry I took a few more days than I intended, the kids got sick

Anyway, hope you enjoy the story. There was a lot going on in Madame Ex, but it always seemed to me that Clark's feelings kind of got shoved to the side- even by him.

Hey

Hope the kids are feeling better?

I totally agree--it did seem like Clark's feelings got shoved aside in this episode. He has guilt over not being able to save Lex (even after almost getting killed by him), but he couldn't save Lex because of Lex. The evil scheming that was aimed towards Clark technically prevented Clark from being able to rescue Lex in the end.

Clark, having survived the ordeal, then has to carry the burden of everything. It's so unfair.

Like you pointed out though, at least Lois was on Superman's side through the events of this episode. She even saves his life. I'm sure that even though Lois didn't know all about him, it was comforting to know she was there for both sides of him during this timeframe.

Great job, Feli--really enjoyed it

They're much better thanks, Laura They picked up some virus that's going around... typical winter bug.

Madame Ex is another Lois-centred episode and I guess it had to be after the end of season 1, but so many characters were affected by Luthor's crimes and his death and it feels like they got glossed over. I felt sorry for Clark... as you said, he had the burden of guilt of not being able to save Lex and then Ariana's manipulations just compounded it
