I especially love the use of the countdown at the beginning.
It’s not about love. It’s about pride.
Lex is proud of his accomplishments, and he wants to share them with Clark; but Clark doesn’t have the time or the inclination, or he’s just not the Clark that Lex wants. Clark wants an Honest Clark and a Truthful Clark, and maybe one day, if he can’t have this Clark in that way, he’ll make himself another one. It is possible. Anything is possible, which is why the simulation of his death runs loops. Lex should be dead. But he’s not. And he’s obsessed with what could have been but now isn’t.
Mmm, yes. The Room is and isn't about Clark, in the most amazingly complex ways. And one of the things that always gets me about Lex's interaction with Clark is how Lex constantly seems to expect Clark to be better than him, better than anyone, maybe even himself. I think it's part of why Lex has such a double standard with Clark where lying is concerned--Lex lies, of course, but he hates it when Clark lies because he should be better than that.
And oh lord, now you've got me thinking of Lex making Clark clones. *babbles incoherently*
