capnzebbieI'm having a Smallville marathon; I'm trying to get images in my head for vids so I can get some of these things out of my wip pile.
First season Lex. First episode Lex. I just love him. Loved him from the beginning. In the opening scene, Lionel says, "You'll never get anywhere with your eyes closed!" As an adult, Lex keeps his eyes open no matter what. (That's one of the reasons I focused so much on Lex's eyes in my Lex vid, Put Your Lights On.)
A lot of fics mention Lex being brave by going into the plant during the Jitters hostage situation, but really, Lex's first impressively brave moment is in the Pilot ep. He's at the plant at night, and he sees Jeremy (scarecrow guy) across the street. This ghost from his childhood suddenly appears out of the dark. Then he's gone! And Lex hears, "Help me..." coming from the cornfield, just like the first time. Does he run away screaming like a little girl? No! He gets a flashlight and goes into the cornfield. LOVE! *happy sigh*
Another small but impressively brave Lex moment comes in the Invisible Boy episode. Lex, Clark and Victoria are upstairs investigating the haunted room and Lex pushes Clark back so he can go first! He doesn't hide behind Clark, he gets right up in there. Eyes open, dammit!
I'll be rewatching every episode that I've seen, and watching a few for the first time. I've never seen the episode where Jonathan dies (the whole idea was too upsetting for me) and I missed a few other eps in seasons four and five, partly because season four was just...season four, and because season five was the beginning of the Lexana, and yeah, that was upsetting for me as well. However, I happen to have a Lexana wip, so I'll be watching every episode this time around.
For now, though, I'm basking in the wonderfulness of season one! :)
