Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
You vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
The soul can wait
Well, it's still pretty what with all these leaks, we'll be fine
We'll be fine
But if it's still pretty what with all these leaks, we'll be fine, oh
And supervise
You show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Then you vanish with no guile and I will not pay, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today
I know you try
You try, straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try
You fly straight into my heart
You fly straight into my heart
But here comes the falls
So much for make believe, I'm not sold
So much of dreams deceit, I'm not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel, your heart makes me bold
For always and ever, I'll never let go
Always concealed, safe and inside
Alive
Show me the dirt pile and I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke; I pull the black from the gray, but the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

Smallville had problems, but it did a lot of things right, and the characters actually felt like they grew the way they should have. And while the ending had problems, it still felt fitting, unlike any of the Arrowverse shows, where the characters, after the first couple of Seasons, either regress or remain stagnant.

The more i rewatch Smallville, the more i understand why Clark was never honest with Lex. I still want to believe he could have changed and Clark could have been honest. But the part of Lex that is cunning and manipulative but most importantly egotistical and self righteous, would never allow him to do what is right in the end. This series will always bring me joy though. Its so much better than anything we get now a days.

[@nicktroisi6347]

“THIS IS *SMALLVILLE!* ” I think that’s one of Micheal’s best lines of the show, possibly one of the greatest in the show itself. The way he delivers it too like that’s a taste of the Lex Luthor that Superman will face off against in the near future. Even the line about Clark’s dad was so dark, you could see Lex tear up about it, like he envied Jonathan Kent’s love for Clark, he looked up to him more than his his own father. He tried so desperately to make The Kent’s see he wasn’t his dad and he was genuinely just a good man seeking the truth. It hurt him so much that Clark lied to him for years and kept lying even though he knew Lex was too smart not to know. It’s hard to keep secrets but it hurts even more when it’s your friends who are the ones lying straight to your face In my honest opinion Micheal Rosenbaum is the best live action portrayal of Lex Luthor so far. He’s unmatched, he gave such an incredible performance and a different twist/origin for one of the greatest supervillains of all time

[@gunguntrio1247]

To be fair, Lex kept his secrets and lied to Clark too. That's what annoyed me about Lex's self righteous tirade about Clark having secrets. Let literally endangered Clark's family by sending super powered criminals to his home just to catch a Clark using his abilities. I understand that the hypocrisy is easily a charcter trait of his, but it was annoying that it was never thrown back into his face.

Micheal Rosenbaum leaving Smallville was like when Don Knotts left The Andy Griffith Show: it just wasn’t the same. Sometimes, creators can forget that a co-star can be just as important as the lead, especially if they play off each other. In Smallville’s case, giving Lex a larger role in the finale could have made up for it, but they screwed that up as well.

[@monroe8143]

I disagree. Don leaving made the show go downhill, while smallville wasn’t the same- I wouldn’t say it went downhill. Season 8-10 are great (minus doomsday character)

Lex leaving was honestly for the best. They had taken the character as far as they could. Once he was gone, the show was able to breathe more as they weren’t constantly trying to figure out ways to keep him in the dark allowing Clark room to finally start growing.

[@jackservans6906]

The Lionel Luthor “you’ll find you’re stronger than you think you are” line hits different after reading All-Star Superman, which is strange because All-Star Superman was released after that episode.

[@dynaguy3]

The beginnings of Clois this season were honestly some of my favorite bits. The show did a great job building up to their relationship by showing them grow closer during their times of grief. Lex’s downfall this season was also good, but the final scene in the fortress was what I had really been waiting for. Finally seeing Lex’s hero syndrome come to a head as Clark tells him he can choose to be good felt ripped from the comics. That scene was the epitome of the Superman/Lex Luthor rivalry

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

I guess if you like Lois. I just think it happened way too late. They should have changed something.What she was introduced possibly in season four.

[@T_Cup]

Idk if "normal" really describes season 7 lol but it was definitely the end of an era. And it didn't come soon enough, because as much as Lex and Lana were pivotal to the success of the series, both had long outgrown their place in the show and them being there did drag the show down, at least in the way they were being portrayed at the time

[@KaiGaming84]

Lana, Lionel and Lex leaving within 1 season was a big problem for the series. They should have spaced it out better if possible. Those 3 L's were the pinnacle of what drove the stories in Smallville and having all of them gone left a huge hole in keeping the series going.

[@awesomejumpropevideos]

Agreed, if they kept at least Lionel around to lead luthorcorp and start creating the Lex Clones that would have been fine.

According to Jung, the Trickster traditionally shows “his fondness for sly jokes and malicious pranks, his powers as a shape-shifter, his dual nature, half animal, half divine, his exposure to all kinds of tortures, and-last but not least-his approximation to the figure of a savior.”

[@SouthSideOdaiba]

[@tjjordan4207]

I remember watching the final episode of Season 7 and going wild with excitement about what was going to happen next with how it just ended on probably the biggest cliffhanger of the whole show. Then, I found out that Michael Rosenbaum wasn't returning as Lex and right away any excitement was just gone. It made me realize how much Rosenbaum brought to the show and to the character of Lex. Without him, the show just lost what made it special.

ngl the show went on just fine. season 9 and 10 are two of the best

[@jasonnguyen2575]

You know, now that Implicitly Pretentious mentioned the 2007-2008 Writer’s Strike, Lex’s arc here reminds me of another show made during that time. A show that, well, explored how a (smart) bald man changes from good to evil in a realistic, gradual way. It also features an underdeveloped, bitchy female lead who is trapped in their games of secrets and lies. Obviously one show is way better than the other at doing this, but it’s great that an ultimately more episodic show like Smallville was able to develop Lex in this manner before it became all the rage to do so. All in a heightened comic book adaptation no less. This video does a good job highlighting that. Also, very glad to see the Smallville video series continue and Implicitly Pretentious doesn’t disappoint!

[@matthewpelletier6900]

As sad as it was to see Michael Rosenbaum leave, I think the show got better overall in seasons 8-10 despite his absence. The show had been slowly slipping year after year, and season 7 was among the worst of the whole run. I kind of forgot about the writer's strike that year, that definitely would've added to the problem. With Kreuk and Rosenbaum not coming back, and the showrunner change-up, the show felt revitalized. It was very different, but not in a bad way.

[@angelsackson]

I appreciated 1-7 as the prequel it was, then 8-10 were more of a bridge, a spin off but not, like a lot of people, I definitely look at that era as Metropolis. I know people say a sequel series called Metropolis would’ve been good, but I think 8-10 were basically that anyway.

[@jadasmith7780]

I agree. It was refreshing. I was tired of the Clark-Lana-Lex plots. Don't get me wrong. I loved Lex but it felt good to see the show try other things.

[@fiction5559]

I did love the first half of Season 8 for sure, up until 'Legion'. Didn't like the 2nd half though. But I'm a huge fan of Seasons 9 and 10, they are actually amongst my favorite Seasons of the show, more than most of the Lex-Seasons, and Lex was my 2nd favorite character in the show. Overall, like you said, the show was different, but not in a bad way. It worked with Lex, and it worked without Lex. Plus Callum Blue's Zod, while not as good as Lex, was still good enough to fill a good part of the void that Lex's departure left.

[@ChillinWithTJ]

The best Lex there will ever be…🫡

[@thehourglassfan3515]

My favorite seasons were 1 to 4. Even if Clark and Lex were meant to become enemies, I always loved the friendship they shared as they would hang out together at the Luthor mansion or the Kent barn. Furthermore, having Clark confide in him was kind of nice too even if he didn’t fully trust him, he was a good influence on Lex. The way they became enemies felt kind of rushed in my opinion. I wish it happened later.

[@saraanderson2784]

Just recently rewatched and watched later seasons for first time last two weeks and I love it. The later seasons 8-10 I loved, maybe mostly because of Lois. Seven was mixed but still really enjoyed it all.

[@the-quiver]

As soon as Michael/Lex left the show the whole thing just came trumbling down, in a lot of ways he was just as important in smallville as Clark was

[@the-quiver]

But I do love Oliver Queen in this show, he was great, I am so thankful that Lana left the show (she was very annoying) and Lois had way more chemistry with clark and was a more enjoyable character

[@matthewpelletier6900]

I agree that Lex was very important to the show, but I don't agree that the show fell apart after he left. I felt like the quality of the show had been slipping a bit, year after year, and season 7 was one of the worst of the whole run. To me, season 8 felt like a breath of fresh air, the show had been revitalized. It moved mostly out of Smallville, started focusing more on Clark and Lois, and brought in Tess. Tess might not have been as good as Lex, but she was still really good, and she brought a change from the Clark/Lex dynamic the show had been running with for a few years. To be clear, I do not think that Michael Rosenbaum leaving was what caused the improvement, it was probably mostly due to the new showrunners and other behind the scenes changes.

[@andyinwards2119]

The last “normal” season of smallville was probably more like season 4, or maybe 5. Once Clark left high school the show became darker and more dramatic and felt completely different. I’m not saying bad, just different. I happen to prefer the lighter side of smallville in those early seasons but there were still some great scenes particularly with lex and Lionel in six and seven. I don’t think the writing, or the general character development was as good in six and seven and some of the things the characters talk about in the early seasons (warrior angel and devilicus for example) makes them seem like they won’t just suddenly turn into the generic superman and lex Luthor we know; they have a grounded level of self awareness that makes it seem like it wouldn’t happen on the show. Lex becomes generically evil, rather than there being more nuance to the change. You could say the show grew up in season 5-7 which is right in terms of tone and character development but really the scripting was more solid in earlier seasons. Even some of the really out there episodes were enjoyable. Just my two cents. Thanks for the vid.

Season 7 was such an awful season. Clark was for majority of it a side character is hiw own show and got even dumber. They focused too much on Chloe and Jimmy because it was easier to come up with soap opera crap than do a good story about the guy who will become the best superhero there is. They made a cool version of Bizarro only to waste him. They ruined Zor-El by turning him into a petty man dominated by jealousy. Lana should have been written out of the show after season 3. The only saving grace was Lex and his arc to become Clark's greatest enemy. And yet they found a way to waste it by killing him prematurely then make him return as a clone without memory. Smallville is like that ex girlfriend that you had tons of good memories, but also tons of bad ones that outweighs the good ones.
